Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early ambulation is generally encouraged after childbirth to promote circulation and prevent complications such as blood clots. It is not associated with subinvolution, which refers to the slower than expected return of the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size. Prolonged labor, a large fetus, and the use of anesthetics can all contribute to subinvolution by causing uterine atony or trauma.
