After the baby is born, the task of the uterus is temporarily completed. It will slowly recover and recuperate, but the process of uterine recovery can not be completed in a day or two. When the baby was born, the uterus was still in the maternal stomach like a ball. People who don't know think the baby hasn't been born yet Therefore, women need confinement after childbirth, which is actually giving the uterus time to recover.
The recovery of uterus includes the recovery of uterine body, endometrium and cervix. How long will it take to recover? 1. Cervical orifice. When a woman gives birth, the cervix will open about 10 cm. After the baby is born, the cervix can't recover immediately, because it will be congested and edema during delivery, and it will take some time to recover. About a week after delivery, the cervix will slowly close, but it will take almost a month to really return to its original size, and the cervix will not open until the next menstruation.
2. Endometrium. After delivery, the tissue fragments in the uterus will be discharged together with lochia, and a new layer of endometrium will slowly grow again. This process takes about four weeks and one month.
3. Uterine body. After the baby is born, the uterine bottom begins to drop below the navel, and then drops 1-2 cm every day. The uterus can return to the pelvis about two weeks after delivery, but it will take four weeks to return to the pre-pregnancy state, that is, it will take six weeks for the uterus to return to the size of an egg.
What can be done to make the uterus recover better? 1. Drugs. In the hospital, oxytocin is generally used to stimulate uterine contraction, which is usually used for one day for mothers who give birth naturally and three days for mothers who have caesarean section. Some mothers can have good contractions without slapping. By the way, it hurts when you eat oxytocin, but for your own health, you should eat it when necessary.
2. Breastfeeding. In the process of breastfeeding, mother will secrete some oxytocin, which is oxytocin. Oxytocin can promote uterine contraction, which is the most natural way to stimulate uterine contraction. Every time breastfeeding, the uterus will contract strongly, and some mothers will feel severe pain, which is also a good way to help the uterus recover. Mothers don't need to worry too much. Some mothers don't feel pain when breastfeeding. Not every mother will feel pain when breastfeeding.
3. food. Some foods can promote uterine contraction. Ma Bao can eat them properly, which can help the uterus recover quickly. Many mothers like to drink some brown sugar water after delivery. Drinking brown sugar water can not only replenish blood, but also promote uterine contraction, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, help discharge lochia and make the uterus recover quickly. There are also some foods, such as hawthorn and coix seed, which can also promote uterine contraction. These foods are not suitable for pregnancy and can be eaten now, but hawthorn has the function of returning milk, so it should be taken in moderation.
In addition to the above, Ma Bao should rest more and exercise properly after delivery to avoid heavy work and make the uterus recover as soon as possible.
Many precious mothers are still pregnant after giving birth. Even after the uterus recovers, there is still a lot of fat, so it is really enough to spread it on the stomach. The good figure before pregnancy is so ruined. How to avoid paunchy? 1. Adjust your diet. The first key to losing weight is to keep your mouth shut and open your legs. The same is true if you don't want to be a pregnant woman after giving birth.
(1) within one week after delivery, Ma Bao's digestive function declined. When eating, try to eat only some digestible food. You should eat less and eat more. Don't eat too much at once, it will hurt your stomach, make your abdomen contract badly and make your body uncomfortable.
Eat more foods with high protein and fiber, and eat less spicy foods with high fat and high content, so as to avoid excessive fat and accumulation everywhere.
Even if you are breastfeeding after childbirth, you don't need to eat too much. As long as you eat and drink normally and eat enough nutrition, you will produce enough milk for your baby. Eating too much makes it easier to gain weight, exercise less after delivery, and fat prefers to be in the abdomen, and the stomach will only get bigger and bigger.
2. Exercise. Both breast-feeding and exercise consume energy, but exercise can make Ma Bao's muscles stronger and her skin more elastic. If she doesn't want to be pregnant, she should exercise more. You can usually take a walk or go for a brisk walk. The best exercise is sit-ups, which is the best way to exercise abdominal muscles.
3. massage. When it is not suitable for exercise shortly after delivery, Ma Bao can have abdominal massage once every morning and evening, and massage the abdomen clockwise 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Binding tape. Mothers who give birth naturally can use the binding tape the next day after delivery, and mothers who have caesarean section can use it one week later. The use of a binding belt can quickly restore the mother's internal organs and prevent her stomach from getting bigger. However, when using the binding tape, it must be noted that it should not be worn for more than eight hours every day, and it should not be used within one hour before and after meals or while sleeping. Also pay attention to tightness, it is too loose and the effect is not good. Too tight will affect breathing, just adjust it properly.
5. moxibustion. Abdominal moxibustion is also a method to reduce stomach. Lazy mother's cousin is an acupuncturist. Lazy mother asked him how to lose weight. If it is a needle, many people dare not, but it is more convenient to use moxibustion. Go to the drugstore to buy some moxa sticks, put them in a moxa stick box after burning, and then stick them on your abdomen with your carry-on bag without affecting your work. However, this method will not be immediate and will take a long time to implement. Be patient when you use it, it will smell of burning wormwood.
It is suggested that Ma Bao should drink plenty of water after delivery, whether it is to promote the recovery of uterus or go to the stomach, it will have a certain effect. Drinking more water can detoxify more, and for lactating mothers, it can also increase the amount of milk. I wish all Mabao people can restore their waistlines after childbirth.
