The uterus is the biggest organ that changes the mother's body during pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, the size of a female uterus is about 50 to 70 grams, which is a little smaller than our fists. The uterus during pregnancy and childbirth is basically as big as a basketball, and its volume will increase by 1000 times. Therefore, it is very necessary to repair the uterus after delivery. Under normal circumstances, postpartum uterine recovery takes about 42 days. The following actions can help mothers recover their uterus better.

First, abdominal massage

Abdominal massage can stimulate the contraction of the uterus, promote the blood circulation of our body, help the recovery of our uterus, and let lochia be eliminated from our body as soon as possible.

Mom lies flat on the bed, and Dad puts his hand in the middle of mom's lower abdomen, and gently massages his palm clockwise for about five minutes. It is best to feel local slight heat, 1-2 times a day.

Step 2: Stretch your legs.

Leg stretching can improve the strength of mother's abdomen and legs, and maintaining the strength of abdominal muscles is also conducive to the rapid reduction of uterus.

Mom kneels on her knees, keeps her back straight while keeping her palms close to the ground, straightens her right leg backwards and downwards, and leans her head back hard for about five seconds, and then exercises her left leg as described above, three times a day 10.

3. levator ani exercise

The levator ani exercise is beneficial to our local blood circulation, promotes the recovery of the pelvic floor muscles of the parturient, and can effectively prevent uterine prolapse.

Before training, mothers should try to empty urine, maintain the most comfortable posture, lie down, sit or stand, then quickly contract vagina and anus, feel the obvious sense of promotion, and keep the muscles of abdomen, buttocks and thighs relaxed. Contraction for one second each time, relaxation for two seconds, and training twice a day, each time 10 minutes or so.

Four. Contraction exercise

Contraction exercise can effectively prevent abnormal uterine position and help us to relieve backache.

Mother knelt down and then lay down. Keep your knees as wide as your body, keep your back straight and your chest close to the bed for about 2 minutes. Later, the time can be gradually extended to 10 minutes.

Finally, new mothers should avoid carrying heavy objects and holding their children for a long time during recovery, which will increase abdominal pressure and lead to the uterus not returning to the postpartum position in time, which will seriously cause uterine prolapse.
