Of course, first of all, I have to explain that some of the knowledge that the old man said about confinement is out of date, so I can't believe it all and need to learn again!
I didn't pay much attention to confinement before Including the elders who told me to take good care of me in the next month, other treasure moms said it was best not to do anything in the next month. I didn't take it seriously.
Confinement? Bad habits! I'm in excellent health. What am I afraid of?
Who is that foreigner? Not everyone is alive!
After giving birth to the baby? Hey ... I regret not having a good confinement.
1. What is Moon Disease?
There seems to be no clear statement at present. In the second month, I basically didn't have a good rest, and I felt uncomfortable when I fell down, for example, my back ached when I couldn't stand up for a while/for example, I was particularly tired/for example, I was more afraid of the cold than before, and my legs hurt when I was cold.
Basically, it is a chronic disease caused by birth injury and baby fatigue.
Some people, their own hardware: good physical foundation, family software: there are nannies or elders to take care of the baby, so they won't worry too much. It doesn't matter whether the recovery is good or not.
And some people, or their own foundation is also general, the body's resistance to torture is not very strong. I personally take my child to change diapers and wash clothes several times a day, and I have to hold my child for half an hour. Even after confinement, it is inevitable to be exhausted. If you say confinement is a bad habit, you won't let her recover. You are so heartless!
Second, why is it confinement? Why not sit in Zhou Zi this season?
Well, it's not necessarily confinement. You will find that people with better conditions will sit for two months now, including why many monthly center packages are not only 30 days, but 42 days.
Because this is not called confinement in medicine, it is called "puerperium": it refers to a period of time for the mother's body, reproductive organs and psychology to adjust and recover after the delivery of the fetus and placenta, which takes 6 8 weeks, that is, 42 56 days. During this period, lying-in women should rest mainly, especially stay in bed within 0/5 days after delivery, take good care of their bodies and promote the recovery of various organs, especially reproductive organs.
All operations have a recovery period of wound culture. After more than 9 months of physical changes and a delivery, it is difficult for women to understand that it takes a month to cultivate themselves.
It can be seen that confinement is not a bad habit, on the contrary, it is necessary.
Third, girls, please abandon your prejudices and have a good confinement.
If you think clearly about the purpose of confinement, you will know that confinement is not imprisonment, but a vacation for the body, a proper rest time to restore the tired body. Please take good care of yourself when you are in confinement. After all, you have another baby in your family, and this lovely baby will depend on you for a long time after confinement: breastfeeding/sleeping/early family education/doing nothing but sticking to your mother, etc ... will make you very tired. Although I am happy, I will have plenty of time to tire you in the future!
In this month when everyone has reached the knowledge of * * *, let Ma Bao have a good training, have a good rest, restrain his love for the newborn, and try to get his family to coax the baby to change diapers and so on. You are responsible for the occasional Doby children and the main rest!
Fourth, confinement should keep pace with the times, don't hide!
In the past, limited by material conditions, many places used to cover the moon, and even some women were sick.
Now the material conditions are much better than before, and naturally there is no need for rigid confinement as in the hard years before. In the past, it may be a helpless insurance measure not to wash your hair and bathe for a month. Now, you can wash comfortably with the heating on, blow dry your hair, and continue your confinement. As for whether the room can be ventilated, of course, it should be ventilated. Fresh air is more beneficial to mothers and babies.
Wait, there are many such details. Before confinement, you might as well learn more knowledge, listen carefully to the knowledge of pregnant women's schools in hospitals, confinement scientifically, and take care of yourself!
I am a second-born mother. Let me talk about my experience.
1. Don't wash your hair for a month.
When I had my first child, I was still very confused, and many things followed the rules. The old man said that you can't wash your hair in confinement, or you will get a headache when you are old. At that time, I still insisted on washing my hair for a month according to the advice of the old man. Fortunately, the first child was in winter, and my scalp itched for a few days, but my head was still oily. (the second child is in autumn. After having the first child, the second child has no rules. Wash once a week for the first two weeks, and then every three or two days. )
Personal opinion: You should wash your hair properly. Substances such as oil secreted by scalp are easy to breed bacteria. The baby is still young and has been with his mother. A clean environment is good for your baby and good for yourself. At least, he is happy. However, you must keep warm during washing and bathing, and don't let yourself catch cold. It is recommended to wash with ginger, dry it after washing, and dry it with a hair dryer.
2. About the abdominal belt
I didn't use a tummy belt when I gave birth to my first child. It may be that I didn't eat well during confinement (weak spleen and stomach function, special reasons at home). I am thin, so I don't have much meat, my figure is slim, and the lochia is discharged on time. The second child specially bought a tummy tuck, and naturally began to use it about a week after returning home. It may also be this reason (or other reasons) that lochia is not discharged on time. After inspection, it was found that there was residue in it, which needed a minor operation to take out. Therefore, abdominal straps are not recommended. All the advertisements that help to discharge lochia are beautiful, and the use effect varies from person to person.
If the month is not good, you can feel uncomfortable without waiting until you are old.
Every time the topic of confinement is mentioned, a group of people will come over and earnestly say: We must confine our confinement according to tradition, don't try to be brave, don't wait until the root of the disease falls, and even take out our own confinement "presentation", which makes expectant mothers full of curiosity about confinement. But foreign women didn't have a confinement. Is confinement really useful for women in China? Let's see what everyone has said!
First, I didn't listen to the old man and fell ill in the second month.
Gaga: I didn't believe in any moon sickness when I was in the second month. My mother-in-law quarreled with me and left. I take care of the children alone and am busy washing. It's raining on a cloudy day, and my joints ache. I regret not having a month.
Tiantian Ma: I punched in the second month, and now my knee always hurts. I think Chinese and foreign women have different constitutions, so they must sit well in the second month. It is reasonable for the old people to say that they can't catch cold in the wind after giving birth.
Lele's mother: I often sit in the second month, and now my back hurts. I can't sit while breastfeeding!
Youyou: My first child didn't sit well. When I was born, my back ached badly and I stood like a needle. After sitting for more than 40 days after giving birth to a second child, my waist didn't hurt, and even my previous headache was much better. Anyway, the penis doesn't hurt anymore. . The occasional headache before is gone. Anyway, confinement is better than no confinement.
Ding Ding Ma: I caught a cold in my right calf when I was confinement. Now I can clearly feel the cold in my calves and bones. I wear pants all year round.
Second, I have made all kinds of taboos, and my body is still good.
Cocoa mom: Take a shower and wash your hair in the hospital the next day after giving birth. My mother also said that it would hurt my fingers if I couldn't lift heavy objects, and I didn't care. I took care of everything in the bucket. There is nothing wrong with it now.
Haohao's mother: It was summer when I was born. I washed my hair after confinement for three days. I wear slippers every day. It's all right now. It doesn't hurt anywhere. I wonder if people's constitutions are different?
Good boy doesn't cry: My baby born in winter broke all taboos and went out to play in less than a week after confinement. Now he is in good health. What moon sickness is actually a lack of exercise!
From a medical point of view, women's postpartum physiology and psychology have undergone tremendous changes, and it takes some time to recuperate, which is the traditional "confinement", which is very important for postpartum recovery.
However, many traditions of the older generation of confinement, such as not taking a bath, washing your hair, and not going to the ground, are all wrong concepts, but it does make scientific sense not to catch a cold or cry. New mothers should learn to confinement scientifically!
