How to massage your uterus after birth
Consult with your birthing professional.
Uterine massage is typically performed immediately after birth to help with placenta delivery and to lessen the likelihood of hemorrhages. Uterine massages aren't necessary for everyone, though.

Possible answers: -It's best to do it as soon as possible after childbirth to get your uterus properly stimulated before the actual birth will happen. Consulting with your birthing professional is also great for supporting your recovery before labor, as they are already familiar with your specific situation. -Don't force uterine massage on a woman or boy after birth, as this could trigger what's known as a placenta infection. Your massage assistant may perform an " exam " to get a sense of how the procedure works. -Talk to your obstetrician, doula, or other birthing professional about when and why they would recommend a uterine massage. Massage will typically be recommended if you had a long or complicated active labor, or if you lose more blood than anticipated during and immediately after labor. -If you have someone who has kidney or liver problems or has an irregular menstrual cycle, you may need to have a massage done to help calm the body and tissues. Take prescription medication to help reduce pain.
