Summary
The puerperium period begins after the placenta is born and ended when the uterine devices such as the condition before pregnancy. In the puerperium period two important events, namely uterine involution and lactation process. Involution is the process of returning the uterus to a state before pregnancy after childbirth. This process begins as soon as the placenta comes out due to contraction of the uterine smooth muscles (Bobak, Lowdermilk, & Jensen, 2005). Contraction of the uterine muscle occurs due to stimulation of the hormone oxytocin released by the hypothalamus. The neural pulp is formed from stimulation of the mammary papilla is the primary stimulus for oxytocin release, whereas the distension of the vagina and the uterus is the second stimulus.
