Followed by the moon meal, two pieces of bread, a piece of cheese, a sausage, a piece of jam, a piece of butter, a piece of tomato, and optionally juice and coffee every morning. Not every time, brother. Is the juice cold? Every lunch is a meal with dessert, and dessert is often the kind that needs refrigeration. Dinner is almost the same as breakfast, with a box of yogurt, still cold and cold. I told the nurses that I wanted to drink water, so they brought me mineral water and told me that pregnant women can only drink ordinary mineral water, not sparkling mineral water. It's getting cold! When I said I wanted something hot, they asked me whether I wanted coffee or tea. I said I want to drink boiled water! They looked at me doubtfully, and I agreed without adding anything! They said, isn't there mineral water here? I am dizzy, can you understand my mood! ? Finally, I said ok, I want tea! There is a kind of milk tea. I drink two pots in the hospital every day!
Let's talk about postpartum recovery. On the third day of caesarean section, the hospital rehabilitation staff came to the ward every day to tell me what exercise to do now and how to recover. I said my back hurts and my neck hurts. She also brought me a large piece of heated black mud and let me lie on it. Finally a comfortable sleep! After sleeping for a few days, my husband said I snored! I said my arm hurts and she massaged me!
I live in a family room, that is, a room with two beds, and my husband and I share a bed, so that my husband can take care of me and my baby at night. The nurse will come to this room several times in the evening to see me and the baby. Every time I go to bed lightly and get up early, it makes me feel at ease. Midwives come to the hospital to see my baby and me every day, and also teach my husband to change diapers, wipe his body and change clothes. So at first, my husband changed diapers much more skillfully than I did.
I stayed in the hospital for four or five days and said I could go home. The thread has not been removed yet. I said that on the seventh day, the midwife would come home to help me remove the stitches.
Seven days after operation, I should give an injection on my thigh every day, saying it is to prevent coagulation. In the next two days, I'm going to take the needle home and make it myself. At night, my husband and I look at my thighs. They hesitated who would make the needle, and they could not make it for half an hour with the ink on the needle in their hands. It's really stressful without needles.
When the baby was three weeks old, I went to the hospital and had various examinations in gynecology. Because lochia disappeared soon, I found a blood clot in the uterus, so I took oxytocin three times and almost had a curettage operation! So I went out early, and I pushed the baby out for a walk before the full moon. The midwife said the baby would be out in two weeks.
I feel that although the month here is 6-8 weeks, the mothers are very casual! The midwife only said don't drink or smoke, and help yourself with the rest. Too casual!
But at present, I feel everything is fine! No one in China is confined to her confinement as in China. They look free and easy, and they take a shower casually.
According to the general statement, it is best for pregnant women not to go out during confinement, because they are afraid of seeing the wind. A little carelessness will also cause fatal harm to the body, and in severe cases, they will fall ill. However, with the gradual development of society, many young women no longer pay attention to the fact that they can't go out next month, and many will go out next month. As long as you wear thick clothes and wrap them tightly, you will generally not get sick. But for elderly women, it is better to try not to go out in the second month, otherwise the loss will outweigh the gain. Take myself as an example. Although I didn't go out the next month, I was still sick because my family often opened the window. I suggest being cautious.
It should be difficult to get out. After giving birth, the mother is like a doll that has been dismantled and reorganized. If the hair dryer is cold, she will often have joint discomfort and headache. Therefore, I still stay at home quietly during confinement. Get well. At that time, my second treasure was doing a reexamination of neonatal genetic diseases. Twenty days later, I had no choice but to take him to the hospital. Because it is not very close to the hospital, you should follow the breast-feeding. Fortunately, it is summer now, but I dare not wear short sleeves for fear of catching the wind.
In the eyes of the older generation, Confucius is simply a time bomb on a woman's body. If you are not careful, it will detonate, and the moon disease caused by the explosion is even more terrible. It will definitely follow you all your life and torment you every day. Therefore, in their minds, there are many taboos about February talks, such as not touching, not doing, not eating or drinking. In the old society, there was really no difference between confinement and imprisonment.
Actually, it is not. Whether you can go out after confinement depends on the recovery of women's body and the weather at that time. It goes without saying that windy or cold weather is not suitable for going out. If you recover well and the weather is warm, you can go out for some air. Exercise properly at ordinary times, such as walking as follows, stretching slightly, etc. You need some rest for a week or two after delivery, but you need some activities afterwards, which is conducive to the recovery of your body.
In addition, there is no need to inherit the tradition of not brushing your teeth, washing your hair and taking a bath for a whole month. After all, what age is it now? Just wash your hair and blow dry with a hair dryer. In fact, for the so-called "tradition", we need some wisdom to inherit it, and we should get rid of its dross and take its essence. For example, the elderly ask not to sit too much in the next month, which is easy to fall into the problem of low back pain. Because the maternal body in the month is still relatively fragile, sitting for too long is really harmful to the waist.
There is no need to blindly follow the tradition of the older generation asking for confinement, but there is no need to completely deny it. Good advice can still be adopted. Whether to go out in the next month is not the most important thing. The key is to protect yourself so that you can become a strong mother.

Such as endocrine diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, gynecological benign diseases such as hysteromyoma, pelvic floor diseases such as urinary leakage and uterine prolapse.
There is a custom among the elders of the older generation in rural hometown, no matter they are old or young, they are not allowed to go back and forth. If people know, no matter what the relationship is, they will be scolded and bring bad luck to others.
If you don't go out to other people's homes, there is no problem at all. The wind blowing in summer is a breeze that has no effect on the body. Staying indoors all the time is boring, and you can't watch TV often. You can only watch it for a while, or you will hurt your eyes. Both our children were born in summer. In the second half of the month, NianLia can sit outside for a while at night, which is similar to the temperature in the indoor air-conditioned room and acceptable to the body.
Don't think about going out for the recovery of your body when the wind is strong in winter. Have a nice month in your room. Remember not to touch cold water and watch TV for a long time. In order not to bring hidden dangers to the body, we must have self-control and think of something happy. Even if you don't go out for a month, it will pass quickly.
Why don't westerners need confinement after childbirth?
In fact, these questions are some simple maternal common sense.
Let's first understand the differences between China and the West.
the west
In western families, there is no habit of drinking hot water, and they will drink cold water as usual after delivery. In terms of diet, westerners think that the diet is the same as usual except drinking more water during lactation. For the postpartum perineal wound, the doctor will advise the parturient to use an ice pack for cold compress within 12 hours to stop bleeding and relieve pain.
And westerners don't do the month is divided into two aspects:
I. Physical differences
Westerners have thick joints and love fitness. In their spare time, they will go to the gym to exercise almost continuously, so they are in good health.
Two. Dietary and nutritional differences
Westerners mainly eat cheese food, ham and olive oil introduced to China in recent years, which is quite different from the eating habits of China people.
High protein intake in diet and physical exercise within the system make westerners better than China people.
Chinese (profile)
China people pay attention to health preservation, and "confinement" is handed down from the older generation, which makes sense, but some problems are no longer suitable for today's society. In recent years, everyone gradually began to get rid of criticism and learned that westerners can take a bath and wash their hair when they are confined to the moon.
1. Physical differences
China people are petite and have tight joints. Only during childbirth will the joints open. At this time, if the cold enters the joint, when the joint is closed, the cold will exist in the joint and cause disease.
Because of their busy work and habits, women in China seldom go to the gym, which leads to poor physical fitness and even some vulnerability.
Two. prescribe a diet
People in China pay attention to health preservation. During breastfeeding, they should have plenty of soup, eggs, vegetables, fruits and other balanced nutrition. Few meals are meat products.
Many of our pregnant women suffer from heatstroke because of the criticism of the older generation. In fact, some of them are no longer applicable, so we should break away from learning from the west. For example:
Postpartum bathing is 10 days after delivery, and the temperature at home is suitable. In fact, you can take a shower (you can't take a shower), but family conditions or physical conditions do not allow you to scrub for 6 weeks after delivery.
In China, postpartum tonic is very necessary, because the postpartum body is very weak, and strengthening nutrition can effectively accelerate the recovery of the body. It is not unreasonable for China to pay attention to health preservation. According to the survey, gynecological diseases in the west are obviously higher than those in China.
Therefore, China people should treat postpartum confinement correctly, and don't blindly learn from westerners. As can be seen from the doctor's advice, China people still have to confinement.
It is recommended to go out two weeks after delivery and keep warm according to the weather changes. It is advisable to take a walk when going out, not for too long, but for half an hour.
Rest as much as possible during confinement. I haven't done well in confinement, and I'm a little uncomfortable now.
The baby is jaundice, and the mother-in-law doesn't care! My mother and I took the baby to the hospital! Go out three times a month! The first time, I was discharged four days later and went to the hospital to have my stitches taken out! The second jaundice and bloating! The third jaundice and bloating were not cured, so I changed hospitals and prescribed medicine. Both mother-in-law and husband are empty! Not reliable! My mother brought the moon, too! Give up breastfeeding for half a month. Dad, help me with the baby! Now the baby is two and a half years old, and the mother-in-law hasn't brought it for a day? Grandma picked it up and made it! She had hysteromyoma surgery years ago! We went to see her once! Then the other day I complained that we were not filial! Enough! He also said that he would rest for four months after the operation! You can't walk fast now! Ha ha ha, I just ha ha! No stitches after giving birth! Your mother took care of it! It's all fucking unreliable
Actually, I can go out. I went out the next month and went to the hospital to deliver water every day. But you can wrap yourself up when you go out, and there will be no problem without blowing air conditioning. And now the traffic is convenient, and it is more convenient to go out with a car. It is still recommended to exercise moderately in the second month, not to be too tired, and do whatever you can after the puerperium.
I think it's better not to go out if I have nothing to do. Although we pay attention to scientific confinement now, there are not as many taboos as the older generation. We can't eat this or do that, but we are still responsible for our health. If you fall into the root of the disease, you will feel uncomfortable in the future.
If you must go out, wrap yourself tightly to avoid the wind. In the next month, the maternal body is still weak and needs more bed rest to recover faster. If it is windy, it may cause headaches and other lunar diseases in the future. In the second month, my aunt often stood at the window to blow because she didn't pay attention. There was nothing wrong with me when I was young, but I began to have headaches when I was older, and I often ate gastrodia elata. So whether to go out depends on the actual situation.
I seem to have written an article about confinement before, but I am too lazy to turn it over. Let's talk about this topic briefly again.
The confinement usually refers to more than one month after delivery, which is the recovery time of the maternal body. The traditional confinement is also to achieve this goal.
Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards, people have a deeper understanding of life, body and science, and people begin to question some habits in traditional confinement. For example, the traditional idea is that pregnant women can't brush their teeth in confinement. As we all know, pregnant women are weak after giving birth to their children, and they have to breastfeed their children, so they usually eat a lot of nutritious meals or supplements, and they are not limited to three meals a day. In this case, if you don't brush your teeth for more than forty days, your teeth will really break.
Then, we also need to treat rationally and dialectically the question of whether the parturient can go out in the second month. In particular, everyone's physical condition is different, so we can't generalize here. During the second month, especially a few days after giving birth to the baby, the maternal body suffered great damage and was very weak. At this time, it is necessary to stay in bed and let your body recover slowly. Of course, the speed of recovery is directly related to the physical quality of the individual. If the pregnant woman feels that her body has recovered well and she has the strength to get out of bed and walk around, she can get out of bed and walk around. Appropriate activities are also helpful to her physical recovery. If the weather is comfortable, you can go out. Of course, when you go out, be careful not to blow too much and not to expose yourself to the sun. You should do what you can according to your physical condition.
Lying blindly and staying at home may not have much good effect on the recovery of the body.
