Why do some people sit for 30 days and some people sit for 42 days? In fact, in the past, what women did was a 30-day confinement. For this reason, I also asked my mother, and she said that she was always sitting for 30 days, and there was no such thing as 42 days. Even if you want to sit for 42 days, I am afraid it will be difficult under the original conditions. So, sometimes, it is the big environment that determines how many days you should be confined. For example, in the previous war years, there may not be a month of sitting.
Now that the conditions are good, the knowledge of maternal care is very popular and easy for everyone to obtain. It takes six weeks to fully recover all parts of the body after delivery, and even eight weeks if there are complications. Slowly, everyone will have this awareness. It takes 42 days to calculate confinement. And now they all go back to the hospital 42 days after delivery to check their health and check their recovery.
What's the difference between a woman who only sits for 30 days and a woman who sits for 42 days? My sister and I were both delivered by caesarean section. My sister's confinement is 30 days, mine is 42 days. Let me tell the difference.
1, psychologically, I will pay special attention to whether I can wash cold water. After sitting for 30 days, my sister will still avoid it. After all, there are only 30 days before the full moon. For example, people often say, "She has just given birth and is still weak, so she should be banned." After sitting for 42 days, I washed cold water without thinking. Is after I sat for 42 days. I don't have to think about anything. I should wash it.
2. Physical. If you are older and have complications, you need more time to recover after delivery. If you sit for 30 days and then do all kinds of housework, it will definitely affect your health. Although my sister seems to be fine for 30 days, because after all, she is young, and our mother who just gave birth to a month is still very caring. For lying-in women, the only difference is that they can come out and walk around, because they have been in their rooms all the time when they are confined, and they cannot go anywhere.
But if you sit for 42 days, you can get more recovery. When I first started confinement, my father thought that I could confinement in 30 days and wanted to abort as soon as possible, but I insisted on sitting for 42 days and rested for another two weeks. It is good to sit for a few more days at this time.
Therefore, as soon as mom is out of the month, some people think that you should leave it alone and do whatever you want.
If you don't sit for 42 days, what are the irreversible consequences? "Irreversible" sounds a bit scary. It means it can never be reversed. Irreversible or not, if you don't sit for 42 days, it will still have an impact on your health. Like the uterus, the recovery time is 6 weeks, just 42 days. Doing manual labor too early will definitely have an impact. For example, some women still have lochia after 42 days, indicating that the uterus has yet to recover. If you are busy in less than 42 days, it may lead to vaginal bleeding, which will delay the recovery of the uterus. (with photos: postpartum uterus and pelvis recovery schedule)
In addition, if you don't do it well during the confinement period, there may be the following three bad consequences:
1, migraine. If the mother stays up all night with her child during confinement, she may have a headache. I had a headache once when I was pregnant. It was really painful. Very upset, afraid of having a headache after giving birth. So I pay special attention to rest as much as possible during confinement. I haven't had a headache so far.
2, low back and leg pain. Many people say that sitting badly will cause backache and leg pain. During my confinement, that is, the first 13 day of confinement, my feet were wet by the rain. I went to the hospital to pick up my daughter Blu-ray (jaundice). It was cloudy when I went, and I forgot to change my shoes for a while. As a result, it began to rain when I came back. There is a slope in front of the hospital, and the rain flows down the slope, so I don't care so much. Because you are wearing moon shoes, you can imagine what it feels like to step in the rain. When I got home, I quickly burned Jiang Shui to soak my feet. Fortunately, so far, leg pain has not had terrible consequences.
3. My eyes hurt. Some people say, don't look at your mobile phone and shed tears during the second month, otherwise it will be easy to leave a moon disease. I watched it for a month, and it didn't seem to affect me. In fact, this also benefits from my regular schedule during pregnancy. When you are pregnant, you go to bed around 9- 10 every night and get up at 7-7:30 the next day. The pregnancy time is more regular. So after giving birth, my eyes used to have filtering bleb conjunctivitis, but they got better later. So we still need to have a solid foundation. If you haven't laid a good foundation before, you should have a proper rest. When you have a good rest, your resistance will be good.
In short, due to the existence of individual differences, no matter how many days the parturient has done it, as long as it is not done well in the second month, there will always be such problems in the body. Therefore, for the sake of maternal health, family members should take care of it, both physically and psychologically.
Because the mother is good, it will be good for the child!
Confinement literally means sitting for a month, which is 30 days. Old people used to sit for 30 days, but there was no such thing as 42 days. With the development of the times, intellectual women have entered the childbearing age and come into contact with more and more knowledge, so everyone knows a new time, that is, confinement for 42 days. So on this issue, there will be some disputes between the old and the young.
She asked her mother again, and her mother also said, "It used to be 30 days. Thirty days is good enough. Some of them worked alone before leaving. No one helped you with your children and help you with your work before! "
My sister realized that it used to be like this, and now it has been popular for 42 days, which is a bit tangled. I would advise her to sit for 42 days, because it is scientifically based. Without this knowledge before, we can't be irresponsible to ourselves now, and some consequences are irreversible.
We call it confinement in folk and puerperium in medicine, which means 6 weeks after delivery, 7 days a week, a total of 42 days. Physiologically speaking, after giving birth to a child, the recovery period of the uterus is 6-8 weeks, so confinement for 42 days is from the perspective of uterine recovery.
After leaving the hospital, you will receive a doctor's advice and tell you to check again after 42 days. It is precisely because of this time that the physical examination is meaningful. At this time, most of the lying-in women's uterus recovered well, and the prenatal examination could be passed at one time. After 30 days, many pregnant women's uterus has not recovered, and going to check will also increase the psychological burden of pregnant women.
Therefore, confinement for 42 days is conducive to the recovery of the uterus, and you will not get sick in the future. This is an irreversible change.
Many parturients are not physically strong enough for 30 days, and they walk breathlessly and sweat easily. In this case, if you end your confinement early, start to engage in manual labor, start to reduce nutrition, start to contact cold, spicy and exciting things, and start to contact cold water, it will do harm to your health.
Therefore, we should continue to postpone confinement for only 42 days, follow the rules of confinement, supplement more nutrition, get better rest and recover better physical strength, so as not to prolong the recovery time of the body.
Generally speaking, lochia will be completely discharged within 30 days, but if you don't pay attention to nursing, it will stimulate the uterus and lead to delayed lochia discharge. I remember when I was confined for more than 30 days for the first time, because I felt that there was nothing serious, I ate a little preserved fruit, suddenly discharged a lot of lochia, accompanied by faint abdominal pain, which was very uncomfortable.
The body can be born for one month with these performances, and the situation of each parturient will be somewhat different. Some recovered in 30 days, and some recovered in 42 days or even two months. Therefore, on the basis of time, we must look at the performance of the body to decide whether we can give birth for a month.
After pregnancy, the biggest physical change is the uterus. If the uterus recovers well, it means that other organs of the body have recovered well, so we can determine whether we can have children according to the recovery of the uterus. Many mothers are not sure whether the uterus will return to normal, so they can ask a doctor for help. The doctor will locate the uterus by pressing the stomach. General community health doctors will come to the door regularly and ask her for help to confirm.
If you feel stronger, you will walk in high spirits and you will stop sweating. You will do everything with ease and won't feel tired. This shows that the body has recovered well, so don't be careful.
In short, confinement is an important stage in a woman's life. Doing it badly will ruin your life. In a responsible attitude, we should pay attention to the time and feelings of confinement!
There will be a difference between 30 and 42 days. As for what causes it, there are many reasons. I will share what I know with you.
First of all, historical factors
According to my mother, their generation is basically 30 days. Because their life was a big problem in those days, there was no such thing as being locked up for 42 days. Even after confinement for 30 days, I was still chanting "poor physique and melodramatic" by the elderly at home.
When I was pregnant with my sister, there was really no food at home. I borrowed a bag of flour from my grandmother, so after I recovered a little, I went to work in the fields.
Now that living conditions are good, people pay great attention to health problems, and confinement always takes a long time for fear of leaving any sequelae. I also ate well during confinement. The best thing my mother eats in confinement is "red dates", but I don't see anything fishy. I found "fish, ribs, chicken", all kinds of soups, vegetables and fruits.
Second, physical factors.
I am the second child in my family, and my sister is eight years older than me. My mother gave birth to me, which hurt my vitality, so I was confined for a long time, about 38 days. When my mother gave birth to me, she was 3 1 year old, which was relatively old, so her health was not as good as before, and it would take longer to recover.
Third, do husbands and old people care?
If your husband loves you dearly, the old man can understand and care. After confinement for 30 days, he will ask you carefully if there is any abnormality in your body and if you can work hard. I was pregnant for 30 days, but I still felt a little tired. My husband made me do it for 42 days, making me worry about nothing. I still miss it after I was born.
Therefore, 30 days or 42 days a month mainly depends on Ma Bao's physical recovery, family conditions and care for her husband and the elderly. Don't stick to time. Those ten days were not bad.
Let's talk about some misunderstandings of Yuezi! The living conditions of the older generation are poor, and they are afraid of bone problems, so they can't work in the future, and they should be cautious during the confinement. But with the improvement of living conditions, some places are really unnecessary.
First, don't get wet, don't take a shower, and don't brush your teeth.
Postpartum doctors have also told us to pay attention to personal hygiene. When the indoor temperature is suitable, you can gently wipe your body with warm water and brush your teeth. Of course, cold water should never be touched.
Second, don't get out of bed.
Some precious mothers are very weak after giving birth and think lying in bed is the best way. In fact, early exercise is very beneficial to lochia discharge, uterine recovery and prevention of embolism. Just pay attention to what you can do.
Third, make up for it
Trotters, crucian carp, chicken soup, etc. Old people are convinced that it is really helpful to "send milk", but too much milk accumulates in the breast at the beginning of delivery, which leads to poor discharge, breeding bacteria and easily leading to breast diseases.
So I opened the number of contractions and began to record. Slowly, the pain was shortened to ten minutes. At this time, it is already two o'clock in the morning. At this time, it is not just pain. When the pain started, I shook it to relieve it. At four o'clock in the morning, it feels almost the same. So I just arrived at the hospital with my bag and went to the hospital for a B-ultrasound, blood drawing and urine test. These are small things. Internal examination is the scariest thing. I opened my finger after checking, and my heart was quite broken. However, the next pain is even more terrible. It hurts every two or three minutes for about a minute. I can't lie down in pain every time. I can't help crying. Although I know it's no use crying, I really can't help crying.
The pain lasted until after six o'clock in the morning, and I began to lose my mind. I told my husband I couldn't do it. I really can't do it. I want to have a laparotomy, because I planned to give birth naturally or painlessly at first. My husband knew that I couldn't stand the pain, so he told the midwife that I was going to have a caesarean section. The midwife said that I was small and had pelvic pain, so I started to sign various names and went into the operating room. I still have contractions on the operating table.
I said to wait until I was in pain. He said yes. After the anesthetic was finished, the doctor asked me if I wanted a cross section or a vertical section. I asked if the cross section was good soon. He smiled and said it was all the same. I said, let's do it horizontally [laughs] and then the operation will begin. I don't feel anything. I didn't know it had been cut until the baby's fetal head was pressed high. The baby has been out for more than ten minutes, the doctor said.
Out of the delivery room, the parents-in-law saw the baby happy from ear to ear, but the mother-in-law was very kind. She treats me like her own daughter, and everything in the month is done by her mother-in-law. I really appreciate her! In fact, the family is happy. This feeling is particularly good, and life is still complete. I ate a lot in the second month because I was afraid of not enough milk. Although I have gained a lot of weight, my baby is fine and full of fat!
After confinement, I have to go to the hospital for a series of gynecological examinations. When the doctor examined me, he said, why is my stomach still so big? Have you ever had abdominal surgery? I also do abdominal surgery, but I only use restraint bands. It was useless because I was too tight and stuffy to feed at first. The doctor smiled and said what age it is now. Who is still using the restraint belt now? Now everyone wears a corset.
Later, after being recommended by the doctor, I was dubious. First, I tried the condom. After wearing it for more than 20 days, it actually dropped to 13kg, which surprised me. Later, I went to condom and changed into two sets. I don't want to sleep for the next three months. I really lost weight in three months, and lost more than 30 kilograms in three or four months. I was particularly confident when I went out.
What is the difference between confinement for 30 days and confinement for 42 days?
1, the uterus recovered well. After a woman is pregnant, the uterus will continue to expand with the growth of the fetus until the baby gives birth. In this process, the uterus will increase to about 500 times before pregnancy. After the baby is born, the uterus is slowly contracting and recovering. Among them, the recovery of uterine body takes 6 weeks (that is, about 42 days) to recover to the pre-pregnancy size; It also takes 42 days to completely regenerate and repair the endometrium at the placenta attachment.
Especially for caesarean section mothers, it takes longer. If you can sit for 42 days, your uterus will recover better, and your mother will not fall behind easily in the future. If the lying-in woman starts strenuous activity after sitting for 30 days, the uterus has not completely contracted at this time, which may affect the recovery progress of the body. After 1 year, the physical quality of such pregnant women is obviously worse than that of those who have been sitting for 42 days. In severe cases, it may also cause uterine prolapse and even affect the second pregnancy.
2, the skin is better
During pregnancy, the endocrine and various systems in the mother's body have changed, coupled with the loss of a lot of essence and vitality when giving birth, resulting in deficiency of both qi and blood. If you only sit for 30 days, you may not get enough rest, still look weak, have a bad face, rough skin and love acne.
But if you rest for 42 days, you can recuperate and rest well during this time, and the endocrine system of the human body will return to normal. It seems that the whole person looks good and there will be no problem with the skin. 1 year later, it will be found that women who give birth after 42 days have better skin and physical quality than women who give birth after 30 days.
Because I should have my last check-up at the due date. I stayed in bed for half an hour, because I was too excited to sleep, so I got up to take a shower and comb my hair. You can't catch cold after giving birth, and bathing is definitely not as enjoyable as it is now.
It was 5 o'clock, and then I went to wake my mother. She got up to prepare breakfast. At breakfast, the contractions began to be regular gradually. We all finished breakfast, packed our things quickly, drove to the hospital at half past six, and then registered to see a doctor. "I can see the baby's head, it will be born soon!" At that time, the internal examination said that the baby's head could be seen. It is estimated that the baby will be born soon, and it should be born in the afternoon. So he gave us a checklist and quickly went through the hospitalization procedures. I'm going to the inpatient department with the doctor's list. As a result, she stopped me, added two words "omen" to my list, and then smiled and explained: you don't look like you are going to have a baby.
Fortunately, I stayed up until three o'clock, and the middle nurse watched it twice for me and told me to wait. Later, I really couldn't stand it, and the feeling of impact in my body became more and more fierce, and I also had the feeling that the nurse said I wanted to defecate. She said that if I felt that way, I would have a baby soon. Finally gave birth. I was pushed into the delivery room. It should be less than 4 o'clock. When I was in the delivery room, the doctor always said that I was not strong enough. I thought at that time, sucking milk is really my strong point. I have never contributed all my strength so generously. This is the only time. ......
Because of lack of strength, the doctor gave me a side cut decisively. Although I don't want to, it's better than a tear. As a result, the wound was irregular, and it was difficult to sew later, which made it more painful. After anesthesia and lateral incision, I asked the doctor, can I work hard? She said yes. When I took a deep breath and prepared for another big effort, I felt something big slipped out of my body before it started. I feel miserable for one second, as if I were in hell, and relaxed for the next, as if I were in heaven.
This is my first time as a mother. I really don't understand a lot. No one does not love beauty! Speaking of pre-pregnancy, I have no experience at all. I prepare the baby's things every day. I didn't know what to prepare, so I bought something in the supermarket. I didn't buy anything else until I gave birth and saw a pile of loose meat on my stomach, only to know that I was in a hurry, but I didn't know what to do. I am bent on losing weight after the baby is weaned!
Later, when I went to the hospital for reexamination, the obstetrician recommended me a fat-burning, split-sleeve, which is also convenient for installation and breastfeeding, as well as a chest support and a pair. The effect of milk, many treasure mothers who come to give birth to her children, the sooner they cross, the better! It's too late to wait for the child to wean, even if I lose weight, my figure is not good-looking. I'm dying to wear it at once. After listening to the obstetrician's good advice, I asked the purchase address directly, and then I started a set of abdominal surgery. It felt so comfortable to wear at that time, but it didn't matter. Share it with everyone if you like it!
Personally, I feel much more comfortable than a tummy belt and more convenient than gauze. I didn't feel uncomfortable after wearing it for two or three days, and the price was cheap. I'm going to start another set, which is a good change. Even when I sleep at night, I wear it for more than half a month. My stomach has really changed and shrunk a lot. Even my husband said that your stomach is really much smaller. Don't mention how happy you were then. I have been wearing it for almost two months now, and I have fully recovered.
The difference between 30-day confinement and 42-day confinement
The uterus is recovering better.
After a woman is pregnant, the uterus will continue to expand with the growth of the fetus until the baby gives birth. In this process, the uterus will increase to about 500 times before pregnancy. After the baby is born, the uterus is slowly contracting and recovering. Among them, the recovery of uterine body takes 6 weeks (that is, about 42 days) to recover to the pre-pregnancy size; It also takes 42 days to completely regenerate and repair the endometrium at the placenta attachment. Especially for caesarean section mothers, it takes longer. If you can sit for 42 days, your uterus will recover better, and your mother will not fall behind easily in the future.
If the lying-in woman starts strenuous activity after sitting for 30 days, the uterus has not completely contracted at this time, which may affect the recovery progress of the body. After 1 year, the physical quality of such pregnant women is obviously worse than that of those who have been sitting for 42 days. In severe cases, it may also cause uterine prolapse and even affect the second pregnancy.
Under normal circumstances, the full moon in China lasts for 30 days, and the month can be given after 30 days. Generally speaking, the full moon in medicine refers to 42 days, which refers to the puerperium. Generally, you need to go to the hospital for reexamination after 42 days. It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the parturient and the newborn, evaluate the postpartum recovery state, and conduct a general physical examination of the newborn. Theoretically, there is no obvious difference between the two.
