Within 12 hours after delivery the fundus rises to approximately the level of the umbilicus.The fundus descends about 1 to 2 cm every 24 hours.Within 12 hours after delivery the fundus may be approximately 1 cm above the umbilicus.By the sixth postpartum week the fundus normally is halfway between the symphysis pubis and the umbilicus.The fundus should be easily palpated using the maternal umbilicus as a reference point.
