1, how to recover after caesarean section
1. Reasonable diet, strengthen nutrition
First of all, pay attention to a reasonable diet: after caesarean section, pay attention to the main points of eating less and more meals. You can eat several meals at a time, but don't eat too much at a time; Chew slowly, give the stomach a reaction time, and gradually reduce the stomach capacity. Don't eat too much greasy food at night, which is easy to accumulate fat, but you should ensure adequate nutrition supply, especially for lactating mothers, and pay more attention to postpartum nutrition and restore your body scientifically. Protein and fatty foods should be taken in moderation every day after delivery. Drink two cups of skim milk every morning and evening, eat vegetables rich in fiber and foods rich in vitamin C to increase the permeability of cell membrane and the metabolic function of skin.
2. Adhere to regular aerobic exercise.
How to do strenuous exercise to lose weight immediately after delivery is likely to affect the recovery of uterus, cause bleeding, and seriously damage the surgical wound or vulva incision during childbirth again. Party A's weight gain is a slow process, and there is no need to do strenuous or strenuous exercise. Generally speaking, abdominal muscle contraction, sit-ups and other exercises can be started as early as 0/4 days after delivery. If you like aerobic dance's mother, you have to wait six weeks to start over. In short, postpartum exercise must be persistent to be effective.
3. Drink plenty of water and drink water correctly
Drink more warm water. Because drinking warm water can improve the body's basal metabolic rate, consume fat, improve physical fitness and skin, and improve immunity. Drink a large glass of cold boiled water first every morning, but don't drink it all at once. Cold water can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and make internal organs work. In the morning, it is very important to get rid of the garbage in the body. Soon after delivery, you will often be troubled by constipation. You may wish to add a little salt to your drinking water. Correct drinking habits will speed up your "belly plan".
4. Breastfeeding
In order to produce milk, mother's body will consume fat tissue stored during pregnancy bit by bit. It takes 2092 ~ 3347.2 Joules (500 ~ 800 calories) to produce milk every day. After one month, it will consume 62,760 ~10416 joules (15,000 ~ 24,000 calories) more than the mother who does not breastfeed, and it will be converted into fat. Therefore, many medical studies have proved that breastfeeding mothers can recover as soon as possible and reduce the incidence of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Therefore, postpartum breastfeeding can not only promote the recovery of uterus, but also help the recovery of body shape, and breastfeeding is of great benefit to the growth and development of newborns. Isn't it "kill three birds with one stone"?
5. Get enough sleep and stay optimistic
Poor sleep is harmful to thin belly after caesarean section. Lack of sleep can easily lead to toxin stagnation. If it is excluded from milk, it will do considerable harm to the baby, so it is not enough to take. In addition, the accumulation of toxins will affect the metabolism of fat and hinder weight loss. Postpartum mood is also very important, don't always look preoccupied, be cheerful. Postpartum is a period when all organs of the body are changing from the old balance to the new balance. It takes about 42 days to return to the pre-pregnancy level and to a healthy and normal non-pregnancy state. At this time, mom should have confidence, which will help her recover.
6. Use abdominal belt and exercise in time.
Pregnant mommy may wish to use abdominal belt after delivery, which can not only help the recovery of figure, but also prevent visceral sagging and skin relaxation and eliminate stretch marks. It should be noted that it is best to consult a doctor before use, because not every pregnant woman is suitable for use.
In addition, although pregnant women should avoid labor, they should also exercise moderately to eliminate the fat in the waist and buttocks and restore elasticity. Generally speaking, abdominal muscle contraction, sit-ups and other exercises can be started as early as 0/4 days after delivery. If you like aerobic dance's mother, you have to wait six weeks to start over. In short, postpartum exercise should be persistent and the effect will be surprisingly good.
2. Precautions for caesarean section recovery
After caesarean section, the body becomes very weak, and at this time, it needs special adequate nutrition. Recovery after caesarean section is a long-term process, and it can't be recovered immediately in a day or two. Therefore, the absorption of nutrients should not be too urgent. After caesarean section, the following minefields were found:
1. Drink a lot of soup too early
After delivery, it is inevitable that the family will stew some nutritious soups for the parturient, such as crucian carp soup, pig's trotters soup and sparerib soup. I think this can supplement nutrition, promote the early recovery of the body, make more milk secretion, and let the baby get enough breast milk.
Early lactation is suitable for gradually increasing the amount of soup after delivery 1 week to meet the baby's increasing appetite. Even after 1 week, you should not drink soup indefinitely. The correct way is not to cause breast pain.
2. Give pregnant women thick soup
The thick soup here refers to the soup with high fat content, such as pig's foot soup and fat chicken soup. Some people think that this soup is nutritious and has the most nourishing effect. As we all know, maternal intake of too much high-fat food will increase the fat content in milk, and this high-fat milk can not let the baby absorb nutrition well, and it is easy for the baby to have diarrhea. At the same time, maternal intake of too much high fat is easy to cause obesity, and it is difficult to recover as soon as possible.
3. Drink brown sugar water for too long
Some people think that postpartum women are badly hurt, and eating more brown sugar can nourish the body. Although brown sugar has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, invigorating spleen and warming stomach, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it can help pregnant women to supplement carbohydrates and blood, promote lochia discharge, and is conducive to uterine reset, but just because brown sugar has so many benefits, it cannot be considered that eating more is better.
Drinking too much brown sugar water will not only damage pregnant women's teeth, but also lead to excessive sweating, weakness and even heatstroke if pregnant women drink too much in summer. In addition, drinking too much brown sugar will increase the blood volume in lochia, so that the parturient will continue to lose blood, but it will cause anemia. The time for puerpera to drink brown sugar water after delivery is 7- 10 days.
4. Eat advanced supplements before caesarean section.
As soon as some parturients heard that they were going to have a caesarean section, they began to eat high-grade tonics such as Korean ginseng, American ginseng and fish food before operation, thinking that this would make their bodies recover faster so as not to hurt their vitality. However, ginsenoside contained in ginseng tonic has cardiotonic and exciting effects. If it is abused before operation, it is difficult to cooperate with doctors during operation, and the incision is easy to ooze blood, which not only affects normal operation, but also affects postpartum rest. Fish is rich in organic acid EPA, which can inhibit platelet aggregation and is not conducive to postoperative hemostasis and wound healing. Caesarean section is a minor operation, which will not do much harm to the body, and there is no need to abuse advanced supplements.
5. Eat flatulence food after caesarean section
Some women just finished caesarean section, and their families began to provide milk, sugar, soybeans, soy milk, starch and other foods in large quantities. These foods will promote intestinal gas production after eating, which will cause abdominal distension in women. Caesarean section will stimulate intestinal muscles, which will lead to inhibition of intestinal function, slow intestinal peristalsis and gas accumulation in intestinal cavity, which will easily lead to postoperative abdominal distension. Therefore, excessive consumption of these foods after surgery will aggravate abdominal distension and is not conducive to wound healing.
Don't give these flatulent foods to pregnant women. After 6 hours, eat some exhaust food, such as radish soup, to enhance intestinal peristalsis and promote exhaust. After 24 hours of gastrointestinal function recovery, eat liquid food 1 day, such as egg soup and rice soup. When the parturient is exhausted, the diet can be changed from liquid to semi-liquid, and it is advisable to eat nutritious and digestible foods, such as egg soup, rotten porridge, noodles and wonton. And then gradually return to normal according to the maternal physique.
6. Drink tea in the month.
Although tea is also a good drink, it is not suitable for pregnant women in the second month to drink tea water. Puerpera's postpartum physical exertion is large, and their body is deficient in both qi and blood. Therefore, they should pay attention to replenishing blood, keep a good sleep and recover their physical strength as soon as possible. Tea contains tannic acid, which can combine with iron in food, affect the absorption of iron in intestine and promote maternal anemia. Moreover, the stronger the tea, the higher the tannic acid content, and the greater the influence on iron absorption in the intestine.
Fresh fruit juice and clear soup are good drinks for pregnant women, which are rich in vitamins and minerals and can promote the recovery of pregnant women, especially in summer.
7. wet nurse eats chocolate
Some pregnant women who like chocolate often eat this kind of food after giving birth. Studies have shown that if a mother who breastfeeds her newborn eats too much chocolate, it will have a bad influence on the growth and development of the baby. Because theobromine contained in chocolate can enter breast milk, be absorbed by infants through breastfeeding and accumulate in the body. Over time, theobromine will damage the baby's nervous system and heart, relax muscles and increase urine output, leading to indigestion, unstable sleep and frequent crying. It is ok to taste it occasionally during lactation, but it should not be eaten often.
8. Go on a diet to lose weight immediately after giving birth.
Some women gain a lot of weight after giving birth, which is very different from that before pregnancy. In order to regain her slim figure, she began to go on a diet after her child was born. This practice not only harms pregnant women's own health, but also is not conducive to the recovery of the body, and can not guarantee adequate nutrition for the baby. Most of the weight gained by pregnant women is fat and water. If they breastfeed their children, they may not gain enough fat and need to use the original stored fat in their bodies.
Postpartum diet should not be used to lose weight, especially during lactation. If you are overweight, you can take proper fitness exercise under the guidance of professionals. In diet, eating more vegetables is good for losing weight.
9. Eat hard, salty and cold food.
Postpartum women are weak and have little activity. Eating hard food is easy to cause indigestion. Salty food contains more salt, which is easy to cause water and sodium to stay in the maternal body, causing edema; During confinement in summer, most parturients like to eat cold food, such as ice cream, iced drinks, cold vegetables, etc. But eating these foods too early after delivery will not only affect teeth and digestive function, but also easily damage the spleen and stomach, which is not conducive to lochia discharge; In addition, the gastrointestinal function of pregnant women is weak, and overeating will affect the appetite and the function of digesting food.
Avoid cold and salty food, but don't avoid salt. Postpartum sweating and micturition increase, and the loss of salt in the body increases, so it is necessary to take a proper amount of salt. The next month is suitable for eating less and more meals, 5-6 times a day.
10. Take pilose antler after delivery.
Pilose antler has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, benefiting essence and nourishing blood, and has a good effect on gynecological yang deficiency such as infertility due to palace cold. Therefore, many people think that taking pilose antler after delivery will help the maternal body recover as soon as possible. However, postpartum women are prone to yin deficiency, insufficient yin and blood, and excessive yang. If you take pilose antler, the yang will be stronger and the yin will be worse, which will lead to irregular bleeding symptoms of female private parts such as irregular menstruation.
So we say that although we are weak, if we make up for it, the opposite effect will appear. As a professional postpartum recovery organization, Xili Postpartum Health Club has been able to control women's health and postpartum recovery, and its suggestions are also very necessary for everyone to pay attention to.
1 1. How long will it take to recover after caesarean section?
Many women can't wait for their stomachs to return to their pre-pregnancy state immediately after giving birth, but it will take some time for the postpartum uterus to get old. Just after giving birth, the uterus weighs about 1.0kg, which is equivalent to the size of 20 weeks of pregnancy, so pregnant mothers can still feel a slight bulge after giving birth. But in general, the uterus can basically recover about 6 weeks after delivery.
There is a very important reference for the recovery of uterus, and that is lochia. Under normal circumstances, within 3-4 days after giving birth, there will be more lochia and bright red color. 5- 10 days after delivery, the color of lochia will gradually fade, the total amount of blood contained will gradually decrease, and the cervical mucus and exudate in female private parts will increase. To postpartum 10- 14 days, therefore, if lochia is still bloody and rich, accompanied by fishy smell, sometimes carrion or fetal membranes can even be seen, indicating that uterine involution is not good, you should go to the hospital in time to find a specialist.
Recovery after caesarean section means that women often need some recovery and maintenance because they are too weak after caesarean section. This recovery and maintenance is called postpartum recovery. The main aspects of postpartum recovery include the nursing of cell vitality factors in postpartum women's private parts, postpartum physical recovery, postpartum uterine recovery and postpartum psychological recovery. Women must pay attention to the balance of nutritious diet during recovery.
3. How to recover after caesarean section?
Within 6 hours after caesarean section
1, prone position: the mother who returns to the ward after operation needs to tilt her head to one side and lie flat. The reason for lying flat is that epidural anesthesia is mostly used for caesarean section, and lying flat after operation can prevent headache; At the same time, the supine head is biased to one side, which can also prevent the inhalation of vomit.
2. Placement of sandbags in the abdomen: Sometimes the nurse will place sandbags in the abdomen of the parturient to reduce bleeding from the abdominal wound.
3, timely breastfeeding: when the baby is hungry, the wet nurse will hold him to the mother, and the mother must feed this most precious colostrum to the baby. This is an unforgettable experience, for the baby and for myself. The baby's sucking can also promote uterine contraction, reduce uterine bleeding and make the wound recover as soon as possible.
4, fasting: fasting within 6 hours after surgery. This is because the operation is easy to stimulate the intestine, so that the intestinal function is inhibited, the intestinal peristalsis slows down, and gas accumulates in the intestinal cavity. So there will be abdominal distension after operation. In order to reduce flatulence, don't eat for the time being.
The first day after delivery (6 hours later)
1. prone position: the lying-in woman can pillow after lying on her back for 6 hours after delivery. At this time, it is best to lie on your side, and you can put a quilt or blanket on your back to make your body form an angle of 20 ~ 30 degrees with the bed, which can reduce the vibration and pulling pain to the wound during physical activities and make you feel more comfortable.
2, the way to relieve pain: after the anesthetic has passed, most women will feel pain in the abdominal wound. At this time, doctors can prescribe some prescription drugs, and analgesic pump can also be used to relieve the pain.
3, eat as soon as possible: 6 hours after caesarean section, you can drink some exhaust soup, such as radish soup, to enhance intestinal peristalsis, promote exhaust, reduce bloating, but also supplement the body's water. However, some foods that are easy to ferment and produce more gas, such as sugar, soybeans, soybean milk, starch, etc., should be eaten less or not to prevent abdominal distension.
4. Exercise as soon as possible: At this time, special attention should be paid to keeping warm and keeping all kinds of pipes unblocked; Change sanitary napkins frequently and keep them clean; The sandbags in the abdomen need to be placed for 8 hours; /kloc-After 0/2 hours, the lying-in woman can change her position, turn over and move her legs with the help of her family or nurses. After your consciousness is restored after the operation, you should do sports. After 24 hours, you should practice turning over and sitting up, getting out of bed and moving slowly. If conditions permit, you should also go for a walk. Exercise can promote blood circulation, make the wound heal faster, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, exhaust as soon as possible, and prevent intestinal adhesion and thrombosis from causing embolism in other parts.
The first week after delivery
1, drink plenty of water: within three to five days after delivery, my mother is still very weak. The wound is still very painful, and the young mother will feel constipation and swelling, which is caused by anesthesia, so it is very necessary to drink more water. It is best to use hot tea and water not lower than indoor temperature, which can promote intestinal peristalsis.
2, timely defecation: after caesarean section, due to pain, the abdomen does not dare to use force, urine and urine can not be discharged in time, easy to cause urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, we should follow the normal routine, get into the habit and urinate in time.
3, diet: when the maternal exhaust, the diet can be changed from liquid to semi-liquid, food should be nutritious and easy to digest. You can choose egg soup, rotten porridge, noodles and so on. And then gradually return to normal according to the maternal physique. Don't rush to drink some greasy milk soup at this stage, such as chicken soup and broth.
Within two months after delivery
1, don't burden: now the baby is everything in the hands of young mothers. At this time, don't mention anything heavier than the baby, and as the baby gains weight day by day, the mother's strength is gradually increasing. Try taking the stairs about two months after delivery. It's enough to go up and down one floor a day, even at first, it's less than this amount of exercise
2. Don't drive by yourself: Don't drive by yourself for two or three weeks before delivery. Stepping on the clutch, brake and accelerator is still difficult for new mothers at this time, and they may not respond quickly in case of emergency.
4. Precautions for recovery after caesarean section
Spontaneous urination as soon as possible
If women want to recover as soon as possible after delivery, they should pay attention to urinating as soon as possible after delivery. Generally, 24 hours after caesarean section, narcotic drugs will be too strong, and most women's bladder function will gradually recover. At this time, it is necessary to unplug the catheter as soon as possible to realize automatic urination as soon as possible to avoid causing urinary tract infection;
Reduce the use of painkillers
After caesarean section, many women will take the initiative to ask doctors to prescribe large doses of painkillers for fear of unbearable pain. In fact, excessive use of painkillers is unfavorable to the postpartum recovery of pregnant women, so it is necessary to minimize the use of painkillers;
Turn it over slowly
After caesarean section, women should pay attention to gradually turn over after the influence of anesthetic disappears, avoid flatulence and abdominal distension caused by lying flat for a long time, promote intestinal muscle peristalsis as soon as possible, and expel intestinal gas as soon as possible;
Observe lochia carefully
There will be a lot of female private parts secretions after delivery. But as time goes on, the number of lochia will decrease. The color should gradually change from bright red to pink, then yellow and white. Careful investigation of lochia is a necessary course for women who have caesarean section. If you find lochia abnormal, you should see a doctor immediately.
When lochia is discharged, it is best to take a semi-sitting and lying position, because activities will not be as convenient as before. When the pain can't continue to move, take a semi-sitting position. Half-sitting and lying position helps to eliminate lochia.
Walk more.
Women who have caesarean section recover slowly, and can't go to the fields in a short time compared with women who have given birth naturally, which often leads to abnormal discharge of postpartum lochia. Therefore, women who have caesarean section should pay attention to taking a semi-recumbent position. When they can go to the fields, they should go to the fields as soon as possible with the help of their families to avoid intestinal adhesion and thrombophlebitis.
Pay attention to cleanliness
Pay attention to the cleanliness of women's private parts and abdomen after delivery. Within 2 weeks after caesarean section, avoid the wound from getting wet, prohibit taking a bath, and pay attention to cleaning the vulva every day;
Prudent sex life
Within 3 months after caesarean section, we should have strict sexual life to avoid infection;
Replenish plenty of water.
Caesarean women should drink more water during confinement. This is not only to prevent constipation, but also conducive to breastfeeding;
Nursing wounds
Try not to make big moves after delivery. Even when coughing or laughing, hold down the wound with your hands or hold down your stomach with a pillow, and the pain will be relieved. In particular, we should take good care of the wound to prevent infection. If you find signs of fever, redness and swelling, you should seek medical attention immediately;
Wear loose clothes.
Mothers should choose a larger size underwear with straps or boxers.
Of course, there are still many matters needing attention in the recovery after caesarean section, such as paying attention to a reasonable diet, being cheerful and insisting on physical exercise, which should be highly valued by the parturient and must not be ignored, laying a hidden danger for the recovery after caesarean section and affecting health.
5. Postpartum dietary taboos
1, cold food may aggravate the situation of postpartum qi and blood deficiency: postpartum body qi and blood deficiency, you should eat more warm food. If you eat cold or cold food after delivery, it is not conducive to the enrichment of qi and blood.
2, cold drinks hurt teeth and stomach, postpartum women should not: such as ice cream, ice cream, cold drinks and so on. , is not conducive to the recovery of the digestive system, but also will bring adverse effects on maternal teeth.
3, spicy stimulation affects breastfeeding: eating spicy food, such as peppers, is easy to hurt body fluids, consume gas, damage blood, aggravate qi and blood weakness, easily lead to constipation, and it is not good for babies after entering milk. Irritating foods, such as strong tea and coffee alcohol, will affect sleep and gastrointestinal function, and it is not good for your baby.
4, satiety will affect digestive function: maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, satiety will hinder its digestive function. Eat less and more meals after delivery, and you can eat 5~6 times a day.
5, sour astringent food is not conducive to lochia discharge: pregnant women postpartum, blood stasis, it is not appropriate to eat sour astringent food, such as ebony, lotus seeds, persimmons, pumpkins and so on. , so as not to block blood circulation, which is not conducive to lochia discharge.
6, salty food will aggravate edema: salty food, such as pickled products, contains more salt, and sodium in salt will cause water retention, which can cause edema in severe cases.
7, excellent food is not conducive to digestion: maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, coupled with a small amount of exercise, hard, fried, fried and fatty food, is not conducive to maternal digestion and absorption, often leading to indigestion.
