Does a lying position after a normal delivery help the uterus recover quickly?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old and I have been pregnant. I have been quite anxious since becoming pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was already thinking about how to give birth. Please ask; does a lying position help the uterus recover faster during a normal delivery?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation described. It is appropriate to lie down properly, but long-term lying down is not recommended as it may lead to uterine control. It is recommended to engage in appropriate activities off the bed after childbirth, which helps in the discharge of blood and is beneficial for the gradual recovery of the uterus. Postpartum nutritional enhancement, breastfeeding as needed, and drinking more soups and fluids help in milk production. Pay attention to personal hygiene and take precautions against colds to prevent catching a cold. Postpartum rehabilitation exercises can be done gradually to help the body recover.
