1, correct confinement
1, "Have a good confinement, or you will regret it when you get old!" In China, almost every pregnant woman will hear similar exhortations from her elders. On the morning of May 4th, Princess Kate of England appeared in public with her baby in her arms less than 10 hours after giving birth to a little princess in London. The temperature in London that day was only 10 degrees Celsius, and the newborn princess came out barefoot and wearing high heels! "Wang Hao is too fierce" "Princess Kate personally demonstrated that women don't need confinement?" Women have had a heated discussion about this.
In fact, it's not the first time that Princess Kate doesn't have a confinement-the day after giving birth to Prince George, she also met the media outdoors in short sleeves. In the eyes of China people who have always stressed the importance of "confinement", it is wrong for Kate to blow and stand outside like this, and she will definitely get sick in the future.
The tradition of confinement has a long history in China, and pregnant women in China have always accepted the concept that "you must take care of yourself or you will fall behind". However, women in western countries often have no tradition of confinement, which makes people wonder: Is there such a big difference between Chinese and western women's physique? Postpartum confinement, is it really necessary for health or out of date?
This "spice girl" started exercising one week after giving birth, while this China actress is still in labor.
The appearance of Princess Kate after childbirth made women relive the old saying of confinement, but many western women did. For example, Victoria, the wife of spice girl Beckham, went to the gym to do a lot of exercise less than a week after giving birth to Romeo, and almost completely recovered her slim figure seven weeks after giving birth to Romeo.
Relatively speaking, China actresses are still very traditional, and confinement after childbirth is a compulsory course for them. Hawick Lau once generously shared his wife Yang Mi's maintenance secret, that is, sit well during confinement. "My wife can recover so quickly because she listened to her elders and made the details that should be paid attention to during confinement." Actresses such as Big S, Little S and Christine will choose to receive professional confinement services at the confinement center. Xiao S once revealed that although his monthly meal list contains the goal of rapid slimming, he also pays great attention to ensuring healthy recovery. She doesn't eat fruit for two weeks after delivery, so as not to consume too much water and affect her weight. Secondly, the daily menu follows the principle of eating less and eating more meals, and matching the thickness. Fish Leong exposed her confinement in Weibo, saying that "1 1 day didn't wash her hair", and the moon meal was stewed pig's trotters with soybeans.
So, do women still need confinement after childbirth? Some netizens think that we should change the confinement custom of women who wrap their heads, don't go out, don't take a shower and don't blow their hair after childbirth, and learn from Wang Hao's good example. However, more netizens think that women in China should stick to confinement. "I think women in China should try to be confined. After all, there will be moon disease. One side of the soil and water will support one side, and the eating habits and geographical environment of foreigners are different from ours. " "confinement is actually a good conditioning process, and women must be kind to themselves. "There are still many netizens who suggest that even if you are confined to the moon, you should change your mind and treat this matter with a scientific attitude." It is necessary to have a good rest after delivery, which is conducive to physical recovery, but you should advocate scientific confinement. "
The concept of confinement has its origin, and new mothers can exercise properly 6 hours after delivery.
Li Yingtao, director of obstetrics and chief physician of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, said: "The formation of the concept of confinement is related. In the past, the living conditions, material conditions and environment of China people were not very good, the water quality and ventilation conditions at home were not ideal, and the parturient was in a period of low resistance, so the main purpose of confinement was to prevent puerperal infections, including respiratory tract, digestive tract, urinary tract, reproductive tract and wound site. In addition, pregnant women are required to wrap tightly during confinement to prevent respiratory infections, pay attention to diet, and brush their teeth and wash their faces after water is boiled and precipitated, all for better hygiene. "
Western women don't need confinement. Director Li Yingtao believes that the living conditions of western women are relatively good, and the external environment, including water quality and air quality, can meet the standards. In China, it may not be necessary for them to pay attention to the details of confinement. She said that Princess Kate is very young, so she must pay great attention to health care during pregnancy, and because she gave birth naturally, she doesn't need special care.
In the concept of China people, you should eat more and take more supplements in the second month. Director Li Yingtao said that this is because we emphasize that pregnant women should supplement adequate nutrition. "In addition to supplementing nutrition, we also emphasize breastfeeding. For example, I want to eat pig's trotters next month. Pig's trotters are rich in protein and calcium, which is a good nutritional supplement. Relatively speaking, the diet in western countries has always been high in protein, so there is not so much pressure. "
As for the spice girls going to the gym to exercise soon after giving birth, Director Li Yingtao said that doctors would also advise new mothers to exercise properly after giving birth. "It is absolutely not recommended that women stay in bed all the time. For example, six hours after delivery, it is better for recovery to ask the mother to exercise properly. In addition, after one week of production, women can increase their exercise through sit-ups, but the exercise of spice girls may be greater than we emphasize. "
Director Li Yingtao particularly emphasized that confinement should be divorced from old ideas. "According to the current conditions and environment, we advocate that women pay a little attention to rest according to the normal pace of life."
2, the new mother confinement three defenses
1. Prevent postpartum rheumatism. Zhang Chunyan, deputy director of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Oriental Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, women's postpartum loss of qi and blood is too great, which leads to a large loss of qi and blood, weakness of vital qi, cold and dampness and other exogenous pathogens. This is why Chinese medicine pays attention to "confinement". If you catch cold carelessly, you will be afraid of cold and joint pain for a long time after delivery. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies these symptoms as postpartum rheumatism.
Zhang Chunyan gave pregnant women a decoction for invigorating qi and nourishing blood, expelling wind and dispelling cold, and promoting blood circulation and dredging veins. In addition, she also stressed that foot bath therapy is a supplement for pregnant women to use at home. Chinese traditional medicines, such as 20g of aconite, 20g of cinnamon, 0g of notopterygium root15g, 0g of pubescent angelica root15g, 0g of asarum herb10g, 30g of mulberry twig, 20g of taxillus, 30g of Spatholobus suberectus, etc. Boil it into decoction, and then mix it with warm water at about 42℃ to soak your feet. Through the action of heat, the drug can enter the body well through the body surface and soak for about 20 minutes.
Postpartum rheumatism can be supplemented by eating soup and soaking feet. Zhang Chunyan pointed out that mutton is one of the best warm-up ingredients, and she recommended two ways to stew mutton soup. The first prescription: 30g of Codonopsis pilosula, 30g of Astragalus membranaceus and 25g of Angelica sinensis are washed, wrapped with clean gauze, and half a catty of mutton and 5-6 slices of ginger are put into the pot, and the mutton can be eaten after being cooked with water, which has the functions of invigorating qi and nourishing blood. Another prescription: mutton 1 kg, cooked aconite slices 30g, licorice 10g, angelica 10g, star anise, cinnamon and ginger, and water are added to stew cooked food with low fire, which has the effect of strengthening yang and dispelling cold.
2. Prevent your shoulders from catching cold when feeding. At night or in an air-conditioned room, it is easy for a new mother to catch cold on her shoulders when nursing her baby. In addition to maintaining indoor temperature and humidity, it is recommended to wear a coat when feeding and change the feeding posture from time to time. You can move your shoulders properly after feeding, because it takes almost half an hour to feed each time, and you always keep a posture, which is easy to cause neck and shoulder pain. You can also buy some special feeding clothes for your mother to wear when breastfeeding, which is convenient for breastfeeding and can prevent cold from invading your shoulder joint.
New mothers should not watch TV for more than half an hour. Watching TV in confinement can not only ease the mood of the parturient and keep a good mood, but also collect information and broaden their horizons, which will help the parturient to return to the workplace in the future. However, watching TV in confinement should pay attention to the time. We need to rest for more than half an hour to reduce the influence of electric radiation and sitting posture on the body when watching TV. Sedentary is not good for lying-in women's waist, and it is easy to have backache in the future.
