Can I wear short sleeves 30 days after delivery?
Many mothers think that once the 30-day sentence is over, they will be free.
Can it really be like this? Modern medicine believes that after the delivery of the fetus and placenta, the maternal body (especially the reproductive organs such as uterus) and psychology need a period of adjustment and recovery, which generally takes 6 ~ 8 weeks, that is, 42 ~ 56 days. This period is called "puerperium". In other words, a month's time is not enough for the body to fully recover.
Traditionally, the so-called "confinement" only emphasizes the importance of the first 30 days of puerperium. If you just rest for a month and start eating, drinking and having fun, or engage in high-intensity work, you may really suffer from diseases such as uterine prolapse.
Where a longer recovery time is required.
"Obstetrics and Gynecology" stipulates that the puerperal period refers to the period from the delivery of placenta to the recovery of various organs (except mammary glands) to the pre-pregnancy state (including morphology and function), which is generally defined as 6 weeks (42 days). However, if there are special circumstances during pregnancy and delivery, such as serious complications during pregnancy and major rescue during delivery, it is necessary to extend the month according to the situation.
How to scientifically confinement after childbirth
It takes a period of time for the puerperal body to fully recover, so confinement is necessary, but the key lies in how to scientifically confinement. So, what should women do if they want to have a scientific confinement?
1, pay attention to rest
Rest is the most important thing in confinement. Be sure to rest at home after delivery, pay attention to sleep, don't make yourself too tired, but also be careful not to lie in bed for a month. Usually on the second day after the baby is born, the mother will walk around and exercise, which is helpful for postpartum recovery.
2. Pay attention to the recovery of the uterus.
Pay attention to the recovery of uterus after delivery and observe the color change of lochia. Under normal circumstances, lochia should turn from red to white, the amount should be gradually reduced, and the smell should be changed from bloody to non-existent. Generally, lochia will be discharged after one month. If lochia is unclean or abnormal, you should see a doctor in time. Remember to go to the hospital for postpartum check-up 6-8 weeks after delivery.
3. Stay happy.
Postpartum women are mentally fragile due to physiological changes, and with the increase of stress, postpartum depression may occur. Therefore, we must maintain a happy atmosphere at home, especially the husband should be more considerate of his wife and give spiritual and life support.
Do you still use pelvic girdle 36 days after delivery?
Within 42 days after delivery, female hormones did not decrease, and the pelvis still had good plasticity. Therefore, applying appropriate external force to the pelvis within 42 days after delivery can effectively help the pelvis return to the prenatal state. In other words, unlike the recovery state of women's abdomen, the pelvis can only recover effectively during the second month. The recovery of female postpartum pelvis is more important than the recovery of abdominal muscles. Choosing a professional and high-quality pelvic correction belt for postpartum mothers has played an excellent role in postpartum pelvic recovery, body shape correction and gynecological disease prevention. Generally, smart postpartum mothers will not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, as long as they feel good about themselves, they can start using pelvic correction belts 2 or 3 days after delivery. Pelvic belt is different from ordinary abdominal belt, which is used in a lower position, and its function is to moderately exert inward pressure on the pelvis to promote its recovery as soon as possible.
