No the uterus is lodged in the pelvis - even during childbirth - the exception being after a cesarian section - the doctor may pull the uterus out during the repair after birth. If bleeding should occur massaging the uterus may help slow the bleeding.
In the recovery room following delivery a woman may need a fundal massage to stop bleeding, this is done by firming rubbing the woman's lower abdomen at the top of the uterus.
