IMMUNE SYSTEM

separation between the abdominal wall where the muscle tone is diminished and abdominal wall is weak

DIASTASI RECTI

reflect the internal adjustments that occur as a woman's body returns to its prepregnant state

VITAL SIGNS CHANGES

after birth, to accommodate the increased blood volume returning to the heart, stroke volume increases thus Pulse rate is slightly lower than normal (60 - 70 bpm)
