In fact, confinement is the first 30 days of puerperium, usually 42 days, that is, if the doctor asks us to check postpartum recovery, it is usually 42 days.

The puerperium is a period of adjustment and rehabilitation of mother, reproductive organs and physiology after the delivery of fetal placenta.

During this period, lying-in women should mainly rest in bed, recuperate their bodies and promote the recovery of various organs and systems, especially reproductive organs as soon as possible.

In order to give birth to a baby, the reproductive organs and most of the body shapes of pregnant women have undergone great changes. It takes 42 days to get back to the pre-pregnancy speech.

This is why people in China need confinement from ancient times to the present.

Why foreigners don't need confinement?

1. Foreigners have different constitutions. They mainly eat fish and meat. Chinese medicine says that fish makes a fire and meat produces phlegm. Their constitutions are hot and humid. In order to dispel these foul gases, their skin texture is very different from that of us orientals. Their joints are loose, and there are more opportunities for dispelling cold, so they are not very afraid of cold evil. People in China mainly rely on fibrous food, such as whole grains and vegetables, while people in China have thin joints and are afraid of cold.

2. The diet structure of westerners determines that their diet contains a lot of calcium and protein, which will not be lost after delivery, so there is no need to go to confinement alone after delivery. Foreigners drink cold drinks after giving birth and take a cold bath after giving birth. A friend went to America and gave birth to three children. He was not used to yelling.

However, due to the differences in diet structure and physique, Chinese women will be physically exhausted after delivery, so we should use confinement to restore health in the shortest time.

However, experts believe that the data show that many western women are more likely to suffer from various gynecological diseases after entering middle age than Chinese women, which shows that the rest and maintenance of postpartum recovery are closely related to women's health throughout their lives.

I wish you all the best after delivery! Raise a healthy baby! If you think so, please give Gege a compliment!
