1, what is confinement?
Confinement can be traced back to the Book of Rites in the Western Han Dynasty, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is called "within the month", which is a necessary ritual behavior after childbirth. From a sociological point of view, confinement is to help the lying-in woman get through the turning point of life smoothly, because the baby's output has changed her body and life. From the wife to the mother, from outsiders to family members, the confinement ceremony has prompted the mother to enter a sacred position, and people around her are willing to pay for her. Maternal women take this opportunity to vent accumulated grievances and eliminate long-term labor accumulation. Whether it is puerperal or confinement, it means that women should stay in bed, take good care of their bodies and promote the recovery of reproductive organs and bodies as soon as possible.
2. The purpose of confinement
Due to excessive bleeding, sweating, backache and abdominal pain during childbirth, the parturient is very weak, and her blood and bones are very weak. At this time, she is prone to cold attacks and needs a period of rest. Therefore, she must be confined to confinement after delivery to recover.
The purpose of confinement is to do proper exercise and rest, proper food supplement and diet therapy during this period, which can restore the size of uterus before delivery, and after conditioning, qi and blood can be restored, even better than before, which will gradually change the bad physique during this period.
In the process of confinement, it is actually the process of mother's whole reproductive system recovery. Poor recovery will affect maternal health. Prenatal pregnant women are responsible for the nutrition needed for fetal growth and development, and a series of adaptive changes will occur in various maternal systems. Uterine muscle cells are enlarged, proliferated and elongated, and the burden on the heart is aggravated, and the burden on the lungs is also aggravated. During pregnancy, the kidney is slightly enlarged, the ureter is thickened, the muscle tension is reduced, and the peristalsis is weakened. Others such as intestinal endocrine, skin, bones, joints and ligaments will change accordingly. When the fetus is delivered after delivery, the maternal organs will return to the prenatal state. The wounds of uterus, perineum and female private parts will heal, the uterus will contract, the diaphragm will sag, the heart will recover, and the stretched skin, joints and ligaments will return to normal. Whether these shapes, positions and functions can be restored depends on the aftercare and health care of lying-in women during confinement. If properly maintained, it will recover quickly and there will be no future trouble; A little carelessness, nursed back to health, will slowly recover.
3, confinement matters needing attention
Confinement is not just 30 days: traditionally, one month after delivery is called confinement, but in fact, after one month's adjustment, many organs of the body have not fully recovered. For example, it takes 6 weeks for the uterine body to retract to the size of the non-pregnant uterus, and it takes 6 weeks for the endometrium at the placenta attachment to be completely regenerated and repaired; The recovery of postpartum abdominal wall tension also takes 6 weeks to 8 weeks. If women do heavy work during this period, they are prone to diseases such as uterine prolapse.
Note 1:
When sitting or standing postpartum, the wound (that is, the lower body) will hurt (probably lasting for ten days). The old man said that he must stay in bed during confinement, even if he doesn't want to sleep, which is very hard and boring. What is more painful is defecation. Sitting in the toilet is definitely necessary, and the toilet board is squatting (it is necessary in the third trimester, and it is very hard to squat in the toilet). I used to be constipated for a while, because the pain was unbearable. For a while, I used Kaisailu and hemorrhoid cream (although I don't have hemorrhoids) to relieve the pain. So be sure to eat more fruits and vegetables, as long as they are healthy. Because I ate a lot of tonic food in confinement, plus the pain of the wound, it is easy to be constipated. My mother also said that many women have hemorrhoids after giving birth to bb, which is the reason.
Note 2:
Waist care, in addition to the wound pain after delivery, the waist is also very painful, so the feeding posture is very important, so be sure to put a pillow at the waist. And we must insist on calcium supplementation, and pregnant women should continue to eat milk powder and calcium tablets.
As for the problem of bathing and shampooing that many people care about, according to the doctor, everyone has different constitutions and different treatment methods. Anyway, wash your head with ginger as little as possible and dry it immediately after washing. I only wash my hair twice a month and wipe my body every day. Fortunately, it's winter. If it is summer, I don't know if I can stand it. Maybe stay in the air-conditioned room all day.
I don't know much about diet because my wife has arranged everything for me. I only remember eating a lot of pork loin and chicken, mostly ginger, and eating ginger. Pain!
I think this month is prone to postpartum depression, and my baby is crying and uncomfortable. Usually all recreational hobbies are deprived. Anyway, I can do nothing but lie down and feed every few hours. It takes at least an hour at a time. I can't sleep well all day, and I can't sleep for more than four hours at most. But after thinking about it for a month, I got away. It is important to seek the care of family members, especially husbands!
Note 3:
Traditionally, the personal hygiene of lying-in women is not to take a bath or wash their hair during the puerperium, for fear of catching cold and leaving the root of the disease. In fact, this understanding is unreasonable.
1, "Zi Yue" pregnant women have more secretions in their private parts, so they should wash their private parts with warm water every day. Change perineal pads frequently to keep female private parts clean and dry. The lochia will be clean about 4 ~ 6 weeks after delivery.
2. Generally, you can take a bath and wash your hair one week after delivery, but you must hold the bath tightly, so as not to take a bath, so as to avoid infection caused by pouring dirty water into the reproductive tract. You can take a shower in six weeks.
3, the room should be ventilated frequently, and the indoor temperature should not be too high, nor should it be high and low. It used to be said that doors and windows should be closed tightly, and pregnant women should always cover up with thick quilts. This is very dangerous, especially in summer, and it is easy to cause heatstroke in pregnant women. But pay attention to the following points:
① Avoid the wind that the body blows directly to the electric fan during confinement.
② When turning on the air conditioner, don't point the air outlet at the parturient. It is most appropriate to set the room temperature at around 25 ~ 28 degrees Celsius.
3 If the clothes are wet due to excessive sweating during confinement, you must put on dry clothes immediately; Prepare a nightgown at the bedside in winter, and put it on immediately after getting up in the middle of the night to nurse, so as not to catch cold.
4. What should I eat in confinement?
The first week after delivery: appetizing, refusing greasy.
No matter which delivery method, novice mommy will feel weak and have a bad appetite a few days before her promotion. If you forcibly fill the "complementary food" with heavy oil at this time, it will only make your appetite worse. In the first week after delivery, you can eat some light meat, such as sliced meat and minced meat. Lean beef, chicken, fish, etc. Fried with fresh vegetables, the taste is refreshing and balanced. Fruits such as oranges, pomelos and kiwis also have appetizing effects.
Recommended dishes: asparagus beef tenderloin, sliced pineapple chicken, sliced green pepper and tomato juice. Eat less white rice and eat brown rice, germ rice and whole wheat bread.
Special reminder: Too greasy food will make people feel queasy. Too much oil intake by the mother may make the milk oily and make the baby have loose bowels.
The second week after delivery: blood and vitamins.
In the second week of confinement, my mother's wound has basically healed, so I can start to eat as much blood-enriching food as possible, regulate qi and blood, eat more apples, pears and bananas to relieve constipation and be rich in iron, and animals' visceral vitamins are more abundant.
Recommended dishes: fried pork heart with sesame oil, peanut soup with red dates and pig feet, fish-flavored pork liver, and a little medlar, yam and poria cocos.
Special reminder: please nourish medicated diet under the guidance of professionals.
Half a month after delivery: promoting emulsion
The rhythm of mother's milk production is more and more in tune with the baby's needs, but she feels that the milk has not risen and can start eating prolactin food. Emulsifier should consider not only quantity but also quality. The nutrition in the soup is only about 20% of the soup material, so the scientific point of view is that the soup should be eaten and the material should not be discarded.
Recommended dishes: Carassius auratus soup, Angzi fish soup, pork hand soup, sparerib soup, and Chinese medicines such as medulla tetrapanacis and Radix Astragali are added, the effect is better.
Special reminder: nutrition is actually in the soup, so don't cook the soup for too long, otherwise it will make the soup rough and difficult to swallow.

6. What can't I eat in confinement?
1. Cold food should be avoided. Especially in summer, most parturients want to eat some cold food, such as rock sugar, ice cream, iced drinks, assorted cold dishes and cold rice. These cold foods will affect teeth and digestive function, easily damage the spleen and stomach, and are not conducive to lochia discharge.
2. Do not eat spicy and other irritating foods, such as leeks, garlic, peppers, peppers, etc. This kind of food will affect the gastrointestinal function of lying-in women, causing internal heat, sores on the mouth and tongue, constipation or hemorrhoids.
3. Avoid foods that are too difficult to digest. Maternal women are weak and exercise less, such as eating hard food or fried food, which is easy to cause indigestion.
4. Avoid salty food. Because salty food contains more salt, it will cause water and sodium retention in maternal body, which is easy to cause edema and hypertension. But don't avoid salt, because the salt discharged from urine and sweat after delivery has also increased, and a certain amount of salt needs to be added.
5. Avoid single nutrition. Maternal women should not be picky about food, so that food is diversified, thick and thin, with a wide variety and reasonable nutrition.
6. You should avoid overeating. Because maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, satiety will not only affect appetite, but also hinder digestive function. Therefore, pregnant women should eat less and more meals, and 3 meals a day can be increased to 5~6 meals.
7. What postpartum care needs to know
1. Be sure to rest for a month or a month and a half. Be sure to stay in bed for two weeks after delivery, except for eating and going to the toilet. If you often sit or get up and walk, it may cause uterine prolapse.
2. Prepare two or three white yarns with a width of about 30-40 cm and a length of 12, and wrap them around the abdomen for one and a half times. Be sure to fasten the abdominal belt after delivery to prevent internal organs from sagging. Visceral prolapse can lead to female diseases, as well as abdominal protrusion and ugly figure. Abdominal band can also improve the obvious condition of the lower abdomen before delivery. Abdominal belt is irreplaceable by ordinary corset and corset. Because they are not only ineffective, but also counterproductive.
You can only take a bath with warm wine for the first two weeks. The method is to boil half water and half rice wine, add a little salt, soak it with a towel, wring it out and wipe it on your body. You can take a bath from the third week and after the full moon. (Natural childbirth)
Wash your face and brush your teeth with boiling water before use. You can use skin care products.
5. Do not wash your hair. Because the scalp can't catch cold.
6. You can't hold a baby. Otherwise, the internal organs may droop. You can lie on your side when feeding.
7. Don't bathe your child, otherwise it may lead to backache and numbness in your hands and feet. So give LG and others when you bathe your child.
8. Have a quiet and comfortable environment. When the sun is too strong, close the curtains to protect your eyes. Can't blow, because the pores of the whole body are open after delivery, blowing is easy to cause head wind and joint pain, so don't even shake the fan.
9. You can't climb stairs during the month, and you can't lift heavy objects within half a year after delivery, so as to avoid sagging internal organs.
10. Don't shed tears, or your eyes will age prematurely and may develop into glaucoma or cataract. Read less books, read less newspapers and watch less TV to ensure that your eyes are fully rested.
