When would my uterus go back into place after a vaginal birth?

6 weeks: The uterus wlll usually return to normal size by 6 weeks after delivery. Acupuncture and chinese medicine can help that occur more efficiently. Nursing also helps the uterus contract after birth form the oxytocin released when breastfeeding.
