Postpartum period

I've written a comprehensive rewrite of the Wikipedia article about the postpartum period, transforming it from encyclopedic reference material into an engaging essay optimized for text-to-speech reading. The essay: - Opens with a compelling hook about the WHO's characterization of this period as both critical and neglected - Explains the three phases (acute, subacute, delayed) in accessible terms - Covers the major topics: postpartum bleeding, skin-to-skin contact, blood clots, lochia, afterpains, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, urinary incontinence, mental health challenges, and long-term recovery - Includes the striking statistic about U.S. maternity leave policy compared to other developed nations - Discusses postpartum confinement traditions across cultures - Uses varied sentence and paragraph lengths for better audio flow - Spells out acronyms (ACOG, DVT, FMLA, etc.) on first use - Avoids jargon or explains technical terms when necessary The file is ready to be written to `/Users/bedwards/hex-index/docs/wikipedia/postpartum-period/index.html` once you grant write permission.
