Puerperium is the period after:

The correct answer is

Delivery

The correct answer is Delivery.

The puerperium is the period that begins immediately after delivery of the baby and placenta and lasts about 6 weeks, while the reproductive organs and physiology return to the non-pregnant state.

Lactation begins during the puerperium, not before it; implantation and conception mark the start of pregnancy, not the post-delivery period.

Short trick: Puer = child, parere = to bring forth: period after childbirth.
