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. Wounds of uterus, perineum and vagina will heal, uterus will contract, diaphragm will droop, heart will recover, and loosened 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.
Moreover, "confinement" is an "eventful autumn" for pregnant women, and diseases that seriously threaten the health of pregnant women such as puerperal infection, mastitis, uterine prolapse and adnexitis may occur during this period.
At the same time, postpartum anxiety can not be corrected in time, which will further lead to mental illness.
Therefore, scientific confinement is a critical period for women's physical and mental health throughout their lives. During this period, the parturient must choose a suitable month club, or be accompanied and cared by family members and the new moon, and it is best to rest for one month or 42 days.
During the confinement period, the parturient should not do housework or work any more, which will do great harm to the health.
