What myths should scientific confinement break? First, break the myth of confinement after childbirth 1. Do you want to drink biochemical soup next month?
Lochiorrhea comes from pregnant tissue and placenta. Maternal women drink biochemical soup to clean up lochia. However, the more lochia, the better. Clinically, more than 70% of parturients who don't drink biochemical soup can discharge lochia smoothly. On the contrary, there are women who drink biochemical soup. The lochia should have ended, but it began to bleed again.
Therefore, from the perspective of obstetrics and gynecology, women are advised not to drink biochemical soup. If they still want to drink, they'd better give a diagnosis and prescribe a suitable prescription for Chinese medicine.
2. Do you want to take more supplements next month?
Eating a little nutrition has little to do with keeping fit. Although some nutrients will be converted into milk, too much nutrition will turn into fat and accumulate on the mother's body, which will bring a burden to her body. In particular, most modern people are usually not short of nutrition, so it is more practical to avoid fatigue if they feel weak during confinement. The more supplements you eat, the better.
3, confinement fast slimming?
Many female stars who gave birth to children returned to the stage shortly after confinement, and soon recovered their original figure, which made many women envious and wanted to lose weight while confinement. However, this is actually not a wise choice, because fast slimming is nothing more than eating less and reducing nutrition, which will affect the quality of breast milk and is not good for pregnant women.
4. Don't move in bed.
Although it is suggested that pregnant women should not be too tired when they are confined, it does not mean that they should stay in bed all the time. If they stay in bed for a long time, they will lose up to 3% of their muscle strength every day, which is quite impressive. In the long run, the muscles of pregnant women will lose strength. Therefore, pregnant women still need to do some simple exercises, such as walking for half an hour every day. In addition to maintaining muscle strength, it can also help reduce calories and promote gastrointestinal motility. Dr. Zhang Zhiyuan from China Health Network

Second, the principle of confinement diet 1, the amount of food should not be too much.
Excessive postpartum diet is not good for postpartum recovery. If the expectant mother has a lot of milk, the food intake can be slightly increased compared with pregnancy; If your milk is just enough for your baby, it can be the same as during pregnancy; If you have no milk or are not going to breastfeed, you can eat as much as if you were not pregnant.
2. Food should be diversified.
Postpartum diet is exquisite, but it should not be taboo. The richer the variety of food, the more balanced and comprehensive the nutrition. In addition to identifying unhealthy foods and foods that may be allergic after eating, the varieties of vegetarian dishes should also be diversified as much as possible.
3. Adequate water in the diet
The secretion of milk is one of the reasons for the increase of postpartum water demand of new mothers. In addition, most parturients sweat more, and the water on the body surface volatilizes more than usual. Therefore, the water in the maternal diet can be a little more, such as drinking more soup, milk, porridge and so on.

Second, the key points of home care for confinement 1, be careful to keep warm and cold.
With the change of climate and living environment temperature and humidity, the clothes worn by pregnant women and the electrical equipment used indoors should be adjusted appropriately. The indoor temperature is about 25 ~ 26℃ and the humidity is about 50% ~ 60%. Wear long sleeves, trousers and socks to avoid catching cold or catching cold, or being attacked by wind, cold and moisture.
2. Combine work and rest.
Moderate labor and rest are very helpful to the discharge of lochia, the recovery of bones and muscles and the recovery of the body. In the early postpartum period, when the parturient feels weak, dizzy and tired, she must stay in bed for more than half an hour, and when her physical strength gradually recovers, the time can be slightly longer.
3. Clean frequently
Hair and body should be washed frequently and kept clean to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation. In ancient times, because of poor environment, poor living conditions and no electrical equipment, the regulations were strict, so modern people don't have to work so hard. Wash your hair with warm water of about 40℃, and dry your hair with a dry towel in time after washing your hair.
Step 4 use an abdominal belt
In recent years, the use of abdomen band after delivery is favored by postpartum mothers, and the choice is good. Postpartum relaxation of abdominal muscles and maintaining the physiological recovery of the body are really helpful, which has a good effect on the rapid recovery of postpartum uterus and birth canal, promotes the discharge of lochia and reduces the blood stasis. Is one of the more optimistic obstetricians at present.
