After midnight and past morning.
post meridiem
Usage Note: By definition, 12 a.m. denotes midnight, and 12 p.m. denotes noon, but there is sufficient confusion over the meanings of a.m. and p.m. when the hour is 12 to make it advisable to use 12 noon and 12 midnight where clarity is required.
A.M.
abbr.
1. airmail
2. or a.m. Latin anno mundi (in the year of the world)
3. also a.m. or a.m. ante meridiem

The abbreviation am stands for ante-meridiem (before the Sun has crossed the line) and pm for post-meridiem (after the Sun has crossed the line). At 12 noon, the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither "ante-" nor "post-".
