Is it necessary to use a tummy belt after delivery?
Some appropriate functions must be used.
According to the physiological performance after delivery, the sooner you use it, the better. For example, using a professional functional abdomen band can be used two or three days after delivery, and caesarean section generally works best after seven days of wound healing. It is a double effect of abdominal belt and traditional Chinese medicine patch, which can quickly help loose abdominal muscles restore elasticity and prevent fat accumulation. If it is used for more than two months, it is best to choose the combination of reinforced abdominal belt.
1, the fetus and its affiliated tissues have some pressure in the maternal stomach. After delivery, the pressure in the stomach suddenly drops, blood rushes to the abdomen, and the blood volume decreases, which is prone to heart failure. Abdominal band artificially increases abdominal pressure to help new mothers make a smooth transition.
2, postpartum abdominal relaxation, coughing, turning over the abdomen is easy to vibrate, affecting wound healing, bringing pain, the new mother will instinctively reduce the amount of activity. When pregnant, the blood is in a hypercoagulable state, and new mothers are more prone to thrombosis than ordinary people. Therefore, appropriate exercise should be carried out after delivery to reduce the probability of thrombosis, and reduced activity means increased risk of thrombosis. Abdominal girdling can help to fix the abdomen, reduce the pain caused by exercise stimulation and promote postpartum recovery to some extent.
3, postpartum pelvic floor tissue is weak, abdominal girdling can help the recovery of pelvic floor function and prevent uterine prolapse. I want to focus on it here. In order to help the corset recover the pelvic floor function, the position of the frenum is very important, and the pelvis must be wrapped inside. Because many parturients misunderstand that waist binding is for abdomen, they all wrap the waist very thin and don't care about the pelvis at all, so the transmission of force is from the abdomen down, but it has the opposite effect.
Postpartum rectus abdominis is easy to separate, the abdomen is slack and the internal organs are drooping. The use of a tummy tuck helps to reduce sagging viscera, help to restore rectus abdominis and tighten the abdomen, but it is not necessary to start using the tummy tuck immediately after delivery. Using the tummy tuck too early is not conducive to the discharge of lochia and is easy to cause lochia. Moreover, the abdominal wound of cesarean section women is not completely healed, and premature use of abdominal belt may cause abdominal wound cracking. It is suggested that after the puerperal period, lochia is completely clean, the appearance of abdominal wound is normal, and there is no obvious pain after pressing, and then abdominal belt is used.
Postpartum abdomen generally ranges from 50 to 500 yuan. Because of the different materials and functions, the price varies greatly. If it is a pure cotton abdominal belt, it does not have any auxiliary function, and it is generally around 80- 100 yuan; If there is a Chinese medicine bag inside, it can promote uterine contraction, and the cost is about 300-500 yuan; If it is a chemical fiber abdominal belt, there is no auxiliary function, generally around 50-70 yuan. Because the shops, channels and brands purchased are different, the charges will not be the same.
Because the lying-in woman has more abdominal fat, swollen abdomen and flabby skin and muscles, the use of abdominal belt can relieve the flabby abdomen and make its appearance more beautiful. There is no obvious effect on postpartum uterine recovery and body recovery. Generally, the uterus can return to its normal position about two weeks after delivery. The recovery of body needs to be adjusted in postpartum diet and exercise, and more postpartum recovery exercise can be done.
How to dress with gauze after delivery
Abdominal band is mainly used to supplement muscle weakness and abdominal relaxation. Pay attention to the use of abdominal belt: not too tight, not too high, too tight and too high will affect breathing, can not be adhered to for a long time. The key to using abdominal band to help abdomen is the time of wearing, low intensity and long time, which is the same as the principle of losing weight. Use the abdominal belt reasonably, preferably when sleeping at night. Postpartum body shaping can also wear a pair of body shaping shoes with high front and low back. Because the soles of physical training shoes are high in the front and low in the back, the center of gravity of the body is forced to move back to the heel, and the posture becomes straight immediately. In this way, people's standing and walking in daily life have the significance of physical training, and physical training has become a part of life.
Since Xiao S said that gauze was used to pat the abdomen after delivery, the traditional elasticity almost withdrew from the historical stage, and gauze suddenly caught fire. A piece of ordinary gauze is made into a strip of several meters, and then the edge is locked, which greatly increases the value. In other words, I also use gauze abdomen belt after delivery. Other effects are unknown. At least my waist is warm and I won't catch cold. Every time I bandage and remove gauze, it is equivalent to an exercise.
1, prepare a roll of gauze and a safety pin first. Usually when you buy gauze, the seller will give you a pin. 2. Lie on your back, lie flat, raise your knees, put your feet flat on the bed, and the thighs above your knees should be at right angles to your abdomen as far as possible; Hips up, hips down 1 cushion. 3, hands on the lower abdomen, palms forward, massage to the heart and hold the internal organs. This action can help the sagging uterus return to its original position.
First, prepare a roll of gauze with a width of 10 cm and a length of about 3 meters, and a safety pin.
First of all, lying flat on the bed with a pillow at the waist and gently massaging your hands from your stomach to your heart for a few minutes can help the uterus recover.
Wrap the gauze around your stomach, and you must wrap it tightly in the first few laps ~
From the pubic bone to the navel, * * * 12 turns, the first 7 turns overlap and twist, and it should be obliquely folded once every 1 half turn.
Oblique folding is to turn the front side of the abdominal belt into the back side and then continue to tie it down. The oblique folding part is on both sides of the hip. After 5 laps, each lap is moved up by 2 cm, and it is spirally tied up.
Finally, after covering the navel, fix it with a safety pin and insert it into the head. Every time 12 laps are tied. If the abdominal circumference is large, three abdominal belts must be connected into two to use.
Although it is understandable that postpartum mothers are eager to let their babies drink breast milk, it does not mean that mothers should drink breast milk soup early. Eating breast milk soup or other feeding food too early will make the milk come out quickly and more, but the newborn can't eat so much, which is easy to cause waste and breast pain due to the blockage of the breast tube of the parturient. In addition, breast milk soup is generally greasy and difficult to digest. Just after giving birth to a baby, the mother is weak. Too greasy food will increase the burden on the stomach, which is not conducive to postpartum recovery.
Generally speaking, mothers who give birth naturally can drink prolactin soup on the third day after delivery, and mothers who have caesarean section should drink it seven days later. However, it also depends on personal physique: if the mother is healthy and has a lot of milk secretion, she can postpone the drinking time and reduce the amount of drinking; If the lying-in woman is in poor health and has little milk secretion, she can drink prolactin soup in advance.
