The Puerperium The Hard Stage After Giving Birth

To say aloud that the woman needs a year to recover completely from a birth is an exaggeration for many people. However, a recent study makes this clear: current 6-week maternity leave does not match the real needs of a mother who has recently given birth.

Dr. Julie Wray, of Stanford University, conducted a study on the postnatal reality of women in various countries around the world, demonstrating that although each body is unique, on average, most new moms need Average 12 months to recover completely both physically and mentally.

This data does not offer a much more vulnerable image of women. Because the task of motherhood is possibly the most difficult, beautiful and dedicated task that can be carried out, and although the vast majority return to their work responsibilities after a few weeks, this does not mean that their body is fully recovered.
