Caesarean section should cut the abdominal wall and uterus and take out the fetus. If you want to choose caesarean section before delivery, the doctor will generally inform the expectant mother of the time and precautions of the operation. In addition to cleaning the body, especially the vulva, rest more, and don't drink water or eat before the operation.

Caesarean section should be performed on an empty stomach. Caesarean section requires anesthesia and catheter insertion. Many expectant mothers will vomit after anesthesia, causing problems such as abdominal aspiration, lung and respiratory inhalation, which increases the difficulty of doctors' surgery.

Some people will also ask this question. If it is a caesarean section, the expectant mother must have eaten before giving birth. When the expectant mother encounters dystocia and has to switch to caesarean section, as long as it can save the lives of the expectant mother and the fetus, she will not be so worried. In order to avoid some problems caused by vomiting of expectant mothers, we can also directly intubate expectant mothers into their stomachs, or solve the problem of eating before caesarean section through anesthesia.

First, what not to do before and after caesarean section

1, you can't eat or drink water during the operation, so it's not appropriate to take ginseng supplements.

The ingredients contained in ginseng have cardiotonic and exciting effects, which will excite the brain of expectant mothers and affect their smooth operation. Moreover, it will prolong the bleeding time of the expectant mother's wound and hinder the wound healing;

2. It is not advisable to eat too much after operation.

During caesarean section, the intestine is stimulated. Eating too much will increase the burden on the intestine, which will not only cause constipation, but also increase gas production and abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to rehabilitation.

3. It is not advisable to eat foods that produce more gas after operation.

Foods that produce a lot of gas are easy to produce a lot of gas in the intestines, causing bloating; Such as soybeans and bean products.

Second, matters needing attention in caesarean section

I had an emergency caesarean section. Even if I don't make an appointment for caesarean section, the nurses and doctors will ask you when to eat, when to drink and what you ate that day. The nurse was relieved to hear that I didn't eat from noon to 7 pm and didn't drink water after 3 pm.

Usually for planned caesarean section, doctors or nurses will tell pregnant mothers not to eat anything, including boiled water and drinks, within 8 hours before the operation.

So why don't you eat and drink 8 hours before caesarean section?

① Avoid vomiting during operation.

Most caesarean sections use local anesthesia, although a small number require general anesthesia. If there is no fasting, vomiting may occur during the operation under local anesthesia, leading to airway obstruction or aspiration pneumonia or even suffocation.

② The doctor's vision is blocked.

If you drink water within 8 hours before caesarean section, the urine in the maternal bladder will be more, and the whole bladder will be filled like an inflated balloon. The doctor's vision will be affected during the operation, which may affect the progress of the operation, especially in an emergency. That's why the nurse relaxed as soon as she heard that I didn't drink much water.

In addition to fasting before operation, pregnant mothers who have not exhausted within 6 hours after operation cannot eat or drink water. After exhausting, pregnant women can drink water soaked in dried tangerine peel or boiled radish water for 5 years to promote exhaust. Liquid food is the main food within three days after operation, and it is not suitable to drink milk without milk.

If you are the chief doctor who made an appointment for caesarean section, the doctor will tell you not to eat or drink water eight hours before the appointment time, but some women who went for caesarean section naturally ate it, because you don't know when they were born, and they may have signs of labor just after eating. However, when they went to caesarean section naturally, it might be because the pregnant mother had weak contractions and the uterus opened too slowly. After the trial delivery, the elderly women have no physical strength for a day, and there is still a fetal head. It is difficult to pass, there is more bleeding, or lack of oxygen, and it is necessary to quickly transfer to caesarean section. If the pregnant mother has just eaten enough, caesarean section is more difficult.

Do not eat for 8 hours before caesarean section.

First, in the process of caesarean section, we need to move the intestines of our pregnant mother. If there is something in it, it will easily stick to the peritoneum. If a pregnant mother eats something, it is easy to get flatulence. After flatulence, it is easy to stick to the stomach and uterus, and accidents are easy to occur during the operation.

Second, because our gastrointestinal function almost stops working after caesarean section anesthesia, if there is something in the intestine, it is easy to cause vomiting, so during the operation, the movement of the pregnant mother's body will directly affect the fetus and may be accidentally injured. Such a thing should be prevented.

Third, if you drink water, your bladder will be full. Even once before surgery, there will still be urine, which will affect the doctor's vision and operation. For some emergencies, time is life.

This is a kind of prevention of accidents in hospitals, and nip in the bud is the real reason for preventing accidents. Therefore, pregnant mothers must follow the doctor's advice and wait until we have exhausted our breath. At this time, our gastrointestinal function has begun to recover.

Then you can eat some liquid food, but you must remember not to eat beans, which will produce gas. Just caesarean section, flatulence will directly affect the recovery of pregnant mothers. Don't get out of bed so fast, it can't compare with natural delivery. After all, you are cutting a knife.

After caesarean section, pregnant mothers must supplement nutrition in time to make the wound heal faster. To protect the wound from being wet by water, you must exercise a little before getting out of bed, and don't involve the wound, so the recovery time will be longer.

If it is summer, you must not let sweat flow to the wound. At this time, the pregnant mother can't stand it, and it is not conducive to recovery, so the weather is too hot, so turn on the air conditioner properly.

Stay in a good mood. Pregnant mothers must not be angry. Anger will make a sound with the stomach, which will lead to a heavy abdomen. Not conducive to the recovery of the wound. Family members must eat and drink Lazar for pregnant mothers. Pregnant mothers are prone to postpartum depression and need family care.

Why didn't you eat and drink water 8 hours before caesarean section?

As we all know, you can't eat anything, including water, eight hours before caesarean section. There is a reason for the hospital to offer such conditions. Please let me analyze it for you.

Reasons for fasting 8 hours before caesarean section.

First, if you eat before caesarean section, it will increase the risk of surgery.

When the puerpera eats before caesarean section, the puerpera's stomach is in a state of fullness and flatulence. Surgery in this state is likely to damage the intestine. If it is accidental injury, it is necessary to add surgery to repair the intestine, which will increase the risk of surgery and affect the slow recovery of the wound after operation.

Second, if you eat before caesarean section, it will affect the anesthetic effect.

Cesarean section needs anesthesia. If the parturient eats before operation, it is easy for the parturient to vomit or even misunderstand during anesthesia. Because the contents of the stomach are strongly acidic, if the food eaten is not digested in time, it will become vomit. Once inhaled by mistake, it may cause suffocation and pose a threat to the life safety of pregnant women.

So under normal circumstances, you can't eat before caesarean section. However, if there is an emergency, exceptions will be made and special circumstances will be handled.

When is the best time for caesarean section?

39 weeks of pregnancy is the best time for cesarean section.

Because, at this time, all the organs of the baby are basically mature, and it is already a full-term baby.

If you have a caesarean section too early, it may be that the baby has not yet matured. After all, the expected delivery date is only a rough estimate.

If it's too late, caesarean section doesn't make much sense. Usually babies wait until they have given birth.

What should I pay attention to after caesarean section?

Reasons for fasting:

Because the intestines need to be moved during the operation, if there is something in the intestines, it may stick between them and the peritoneum, and in more serious cases, intestinal obstruction will occur, so an empty stomach is really needed within eight hours.

Reasons for water ban:

Because the operating room needs anesthesia, there may be a complication of anesthesia, that is, vomiting and reflux, so if there is something in the stomach, even water can easily let these things flow into the trachea, causing tracheal blockage, and the consequences are very serious.

I'm glad to answer your question. I wish you and your baby good health regardless of delivery by caesarean section.

Don't eat after dinner the day before caesarean section, and don't drink water 6-8 hours before operation to avoid vomiting and aspiration during anesthesia. Pay attention to keep healthy before operation, and it is best not to suffer from fever diseases such as respiratory tract infection. Blood group test is needed before caesarean section, which is beneficial to the timely rescue of surgery and hemorrhagic shock.

Catheterization is needed before caesarean section. In the first 2-3 hours of the operating room, the nurse will disinfect the perineum of the pregnant mother, and insert a thin sterile catheter from the urethra into the bladder to extract urine. Fix the catheter on the surgical gown with adhesive tape, and connect a urine bag at the end.

You can't drink water or eat immediately after caesarean section. You must wait until the parturient exhausts before drinking water or eating. If you drink water immediately after caesarean section, it is very likely to cause maternal discomfort and affect wound recovery.

After caesarean section, if you are thirsty, you can wet the lips of the parturient with a cotton swab, which can not only quench your thirst, but also control the water consumption.

I gave birth naturally. It is said that caesarean section can't eat. I think I probably don't want to increase the burden on my stomach, because the uterus is under my intestines, and I have to take out my intestines to be a child. If I eat something and don't digest it in time, there will be problems during the operation.

Cesarean section generally requires fasting for more than eight hours to avoid nausea and vomiting caused by anesthesia and suffocation caused by inhalation of trachea. If you want to have a caesarean section, you can't eat or drink in the early hours of 12. Be prepared in advance, prepare what the baby and the parturient need, and be sure to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables these days to keep the stool unobstructed.
