Explanation:
- Puerperium or the fourth trimester of pregnancy is also known as the postpartum period.

2. Early puerperium, which extends until the first week postpartum;
3. Remote puerperium, which includes the period required for involution of the genital organs and return of menses, usually approximately 6 weeks.
