The Fundal Clock, the Lochia and the Weighed Loss

Normal involution runs to a timetable precise enough to predict: to the umbilicus by twelve hours, then about one centimetre — one fingerbreadth — a day. Drive the clock and watch the fundus descend, then document what you actually palpated in U/1 notation and let the bench tell you whether it fits. Read a lochia pattern, weigh the loss instead of guessing at it, and plan a perineum whose comfort measures reverse at the 24-hour mark.
