Confinement is very important for physical recovery. As you can imagine, when a uterus changes from the size of a fist to a baby weighing more than 6 or 7 kg, all the organs in the abdominal cavity will be pushed up, the rectus abdominis and pubis will be separated, the muscle function in the basin will be affected, and the hormone level of the whole body will also change. Of course, there is also a surge in weight during pregnancy and a loss of shape after childbirth. After the baby is born, these internal and external changes of the body take time to return to normal level. Not all people, all changes can be fully recovered within 42 days of confinement, and some people may need longer time to repair some changes.
Confinement is very important for psychological adjustment. The transition from a woman or girl's identity to a mother's identity takes time to adapt. It is normal to feel nervous, anxious, confused, depressed and depressed for a short time, which can be relieved by adjustment during the second month.
Whether confinement is done well is directly related to the happiness of the rest of my life, such as postpartum constipation, postpartum anemia, postpartum insomnia, postpartum lochia, postpartum urinary incontinence, postpartum urinary retention, postpartum wrist pain, postpartum edema, postpartum breast pain, postpartum heel pain, postpartum waist pain, etc. Psychological postpartum depression, these diseases will affect Ma Bao's daily life to varying degrees. As long as we pay attention to the disease and do a good job in prevention and treatment, it is not terrible.
Conclusion: No matter from all months, we must do it and do it well! We must abandon the unreasonable practice of traditional confinement and scientific confinement!
The so-called confinement actually refers to the puerperium of about 42 days after delivery, and it takes such a long time for the mother to restore her body to the pre-pregnancy level.
What are the precautions during confinement?
1. Don't touch cold water.
Maternal women are weak after delivery and are very prone to catch a cold. If contact with cold water easily causes joint pain, wash your face and brush your teeth with hot water to avoid catching cold.
2. Avoid eating cold food.
You can't eat cold food in the month, and your spleen and stomach are weak. It is not suitable for digestion after eating.
3. Breastfeed your mother and pay attention to preventing mastitis.
Be sure to milk frequently and squeeze out the milk that children can't eat, so as not to cause milk siltation and mastitis.
3. Pay attention to cleanliness.
Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, it will consume a lot of energy of the parturient, and it is easy to be weak and night sweats after delivery. Pay attention to cleaning and change clothes in time.
Keep warm and don't get caught in the wind.
Wear long-sleeved clothes, cotton socks, and pay attention to wearing a moon hat or headscarf on your hair to avoid future headaches.
5. Pay attention to rest and keep happy.
Many women are greatly stimulated physically and mentally after giving birth to their children. They have to take care of their babies in the second month and feed them in about 2 hours. Therefore, they must learn to solve mental stress, communicate with their families as much as possible, and try to involve their husbands in the process of taking care of their babies to avoid postpartum depression.
Confinement is equivalent to reshaping women's physical condition, so special attention should be paid not to get sick.
That's my answer, I hope I can help you!
Hello, I'm Ma Jing, and I'm glad to answer your question.
Pregnant mothers often hear people around them say that confinement is more difficult than pregnancy. There will be questions: why sit on the moon? Foreign women don't need confinement after giving birth to a baby. In fact, confinement is very important for women.
Why do you want to sit on the moon? The so-called "confinement" is actually to let the mother gradually return to the pre-pregnancy state in a period of time after delivery. Because it is usually 30 days, which is exactly one month, it is also called "confinement".
From a medical point of view, the recovery time of postpartum uterus is about 6 weeks, which is 42 days, so some people sit for 42 days. However, whether it is 30 days or 42 days, it is to let pregnant women have a better rest and promote physical recovery.
1, promoting the physical recovery of lying-in women.
① Recovery of female reproductive organs: After a woman is pregnant, the hormone level will rise sharply. With the growth of the fetus, various organs of the body will also undergo great changes, especially important organs such as uterus and ovary.
However, within a period of time after the baby is born, with the sharp drop in hormone levels, women's physical functions will gradually return to the pre-pregnancy state, such as uterine involution.
(2) Recovery of wounds left over during delivery: Both natural delivery and caesarean section will cause different degrees of damage to women's bodies, such as tearing and lateral incision wounds that may occur during natural delivery, and wounds left over during caesarean section, which also need to be gradually recovered after delivery.
③ Recovery of other "sequelae" of pregnancy: For example, after pregnancy, many women will have hyperglycemia, hypertension, edema, constipation and obesity. And postpartum prolapse and urinary leakage may occur, which need to be gradually recovered by some means.
2. Role change and psychological adaptation after giving birth to children.
With the birth of the baby, women began to formally enter the role of "mother". Many young women, especially new mothers, often find it difficult to adapt. One moment they were parents' treasures, and in a blink of an eye, they already had their own treasures.
This change of identity also needs to bear the responsibilities and obligations brought about by the change of role. In the past, there may be people looking after you everywhere. After the baby is born, he has to start the life of "taking care of the baby", and he is still a little baby who can do nothing but cry.
Whether it is eating, drinking, sleeping or educating, you will encounter countless problems in the process of "growing up" and need your mother to solve them. The psychology in front of "difficulties" can be imagined.
This powerful "psychological construction" needs to be done well in the second month, and it is also through the running-in period of the second month that it gradually becomes a "real mother" from "mother identity".
After entering the dog days, how to scientifically confinement? It entered the dog days from yesterday, that is, it entered the hottest time of the year. If pregnant mothers catch up with these 40 days of confinement, it will be very painful to sit unscientific.
1, don't be blind, and don't be blind and greedy.
Many families take care of confinement by the elderly, and many elderly people's views on confinement are "keeping confinement". They must never see the wind. They must wear hats, socks and long-sleeved clothes to cover their whole bodies. ...
What should I do if I am confined in the dog days? It is easy to cover up heatstroke.
During confinement, avoid the cold properly, for example, don't touch cold water too much, and don't blow cool air directly, especially after sweating.
However, in such a hot day, we should also pay attention to proper cooling and proper dressing, so we don't have to wrap it so tightly. Wear a hat or long sleeves, depending on your feelings, it is appropriate to be comfortable.
In addition, you must turn on the air conditioner in hot weather, as long as you pay attention to the following points: don't blow directly at people, adjust the temperature properly, open the window every day for ventilation, and pay attention to indoor humidification. Then you can turn on the air conditioner, but don't be so hot. As a result, adults and children get prickly heat, and heatstroke and dehydration are not worth the candle.
2. Take more rest and don't be too tired.
The purpose of confinement is to give pregnant women a better rest, so during confinement, new mothers must rest more and don't work too early, especially heavy housework and lifting heavy objects.
Don't hold the baby too much, it's hard to get rid of the habit of holding the baby. If you stick to your mother every day, the new mother is prone to tenosynovitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis and other discomfort.
Postpartum weakness, coupled with frequent breastfeeding and poor rest of new mothers, will make them feel more tired, so new mothers must take the time to sleep and rest instead of brushing their mobile phones.
3. Don't eat indiscriminately.
When it is hot, I always want to eat something cold, especially in the dog days. I've been thinking about ice cream many times since the first grade. However, forget the mother who is confinement and forget these "cold foods".
Although sweating frequently every day after delivery, new mothers are advised to "eat hot meals" and "drink more soup" every day, especially those that help promote breast milk secretion, such as chicken soup, fish soup, sparerib soup and pig's foot soup. And don't be too greasy when cooking soup, in case of blocking milk and preventing new mothers from eating too fat the next month.
The principle of diet follows the principle of "diversified food and balanced nutrition", and then try to have a light, digestible, high-protein, low-salt and low-fat diet.
4, pay attention to the health of the month, to prevent infection.
Entering the hottest month of the year, the temperature is the highest, and high temperature is easy to breed bacteria, which is another challenge for new mothers with postpartum wounds. If they don't pay attention to hygiene and nursing, they are easily infected.
So postpartum 1-2 weeks, you can wash your hair and take a bath according to your physical condition, and wipe your body with warm water every day before you can wash. Also pay attention to disinfect the wound every day; Before the lochia is not clean, change sanitary napkins frequently and don't always cover your private parts; There are also sheets and quilts that are often changed, clothes are often changed, and so on.
Don't be angry, keep a good mood.
"Good postpartum mood" is the most important thing. The change of status and role, all kinds of discomfort, out of shape, poor rest, and a lot of parenting problems every day are nothing. The most terrible thing is "not being understood".
Not being understood by her husband, the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is great, which will especially add to the new mother.
Excessive negative emotions are not only detrimental to the postpartum recovery of new mothers, but also to the persistence of breastfeeding.
Therefore, postpartum new mothers should try to be happy every day, keep a good mood, think less about useless things, communicate more when they are in trouble, and find ways to solve them when they are unhappy;
As the husband and family of the new mother, we should also understand and support her more, help her with housework, take care of the children, and even give her gifts, so that she can rest more and keep a good mood.
Write at the end:
Whether it is 30 days or 42 days, regardless of the length of the days, it is important to have a high cost performance, that is, in this limited number of days, the new mother can get enough rest, recover as soon as possible, get the love and care of her family, and the baby will grow well with the help of her family. This is the meaning of confinement.
Mom should also learn to love herself. Only by learning to love yourself first can you take better care of your baby.
This is the answer to this question. I hope I can help you. I wish you a good month and a speedy recovery.
Since the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, there has been a saying and practice of confinement. The so-called confinement is to have a good rest in the month after giving birth to the baby and let the organs in the body recover slowly. Therefore, confinement is also a custom handed down. But ancient confinement was not as comfortable as modern confinement. In the past, it was forbidden to wash your hair, brush your teeth, drink water and open the window. There are many taboos in the second month. Fortunately, confinement is no longer necessary.
It is often said that foreign women doesn't have a confinement, so why do people around us have to have a confinement? Confinement is the puerperal period, which is a good opportunity for all aspects of maternal health to recover. It usually takes six weeks, that is, 42 days, for the uterus and other organs of the maternal body to recover, so why not have a confinement?
Why do you want to sit on the moon? 1. Body organs need to be repaired. In fact, after pregnancy, some organs in pregnant mothers have undergone great changes. For example, the buttocks become bigger, the chest becomes bigger, and the pubic symphysis is separated, but the biggest change is the uterus. During pregnancy, the uterus is fully prepared, and the fetus is 20 times bigger, from a small egg to a watermelon. It takes time to recover after delivery. Of course, the most important thing is the recovery of the uterus, which includes the uterine body, endometrium and cervix. It takes about 42 days to wait for the uterus to fully recover. If the uterus does not recover well, it will definitely be harmful to women's health and even affect the birth of the next child. Others will gradually recover over time. The confinement is to give these organs time to recover.
2. Pelvic floor muscles need to be restored. Many mothers may think that the mother who gave birth through vagina caused pelvic floor muscle damage. Actually, it's not. During pregnancy, due to the weight of the fetus, pelvic floor muscles may be damaged to varying degrees, but some are light and heavy, some are light and some are light, and pregnant mothers cannot feel it. Even a mother who has a caesarean section may damage the pelvic floor muscles. The functions of pelvic floor muscles include controlling defecation and maintaining vaginal elasticity. If pelvic floor muscles are damaged, involuntary defecation, vaginal relaxation and uterine prolapse may occur. This is because in vivo, the pelvic floor muscle is located under the uterus, bladder and rectum, maintaining some functions of these organs. If the pelvic floor muscles are damaged, they can't stay up and maintain these functions, so constipation, uterine prolapse and urine leakage will occur. The best recovery time of pelvic floor muscle is within three months after delivery, especially during the second month. A good rest in the second month is very important for the recovery of pelvic floor muscles. After confinement, 42 days after delivery, the parturient should go to the hospital to check the pelvic floor muscles. If the recovery is not satisfactory, Ma Bao should do pelvic floor muscle repair.
3. Postpartum lochia is inconvenient to move. Whether it is caesarean section or natural delivery, there will be a lot of postpartum lochia. This is because after the baby is born, the uterine decidua begins to fall off and discharge, and there are also necrotic tissues and blood. All of them are discharged through the lower body. These are lochia. The amount of lochia is generally 500 to 1000ml for 2-4 weeks. If it was in ancient times, it was equivalent to menstruation for a month. It's really inconvenient to go out, so I can only sit at home for a month. Even now, it is inconvenient to go out with so many lochia discharged every day.
4. Postpartum resistance decline needs rest. Pregnant mothers will be very weak when giving birth to their children. Mothers who give birth naturally may be torn or cut sideways, and continuous uterine contraction will consume a lot of physical strength of pregnant mothers. If it is a caesarean section, it will hurt more. Therefore, pregnant mothers have poor resistance in the second month and are prone to illness. In order to make the body recover as soon as possible, it is necessary for the parturient to confinement during confinement. Take good care of your body during confinement, keep warm, and don't let the disease invade when your body is most vulnerable. Therefore, pregnant mothers need to sit on the moon after childbirth, so that the body can recover as soon as possible.
What should I pay attention to in confinement? 1. Pay attention to cleaning. During confinement, women can wash their hair and take a bath, and choose the time according to their physical recovery. Because there are many lochia, you must change sanitary napkins frequently, keep your private parts fresh and clean, and pay attention to nursing wounds to prevent infection.
2. Keep warm to prevent catching cold. Postpartum resistance is poor and it is easy to get sick. Every time a woman washes her hair and takes a bath, she should dry her body, dry her hair and get dressed as soon as possible. Try to wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers at ordinary times, and don't expose your hands and feet to the air to avoid cold invasion. Although it is said to keep warm, we should also open the window to let the air convection. If it is winter, choose to open the window when the sun is bigger.
3. Pay attention to rest and use less force. The confinement was originally used for rest and conditioning, and the mother should try to rest. Don't do anything that requires force to prevent uterine prolapse and wound rupture. You can walk around indoors properly if your physical strength permits.
As for women in some western countries who don't need confinement, we can't compare with this. Everyone has different living environment, different eating habits, different manners and customs, different climate, and the most important thing is different physique, so there is no need to compare with others. In short, confinement is used to recuperate the body, so it is best to seize this golden time to let the body recover as soon as possible when confinement, and don't wait until later to regret it.
Puerperal period, commonly known as confinement. It is the time within forty-two days after delivery, and "confinement" is a key period to help the parturient successfully pass the physiological and psychological turning point in life. Its specific contents are as follows:
1. Physical recovery of pregnant women: pregnant women who have just given birth need rest, especially those who have given birth naturally. This period mainly refers to the uterus, ovaries and other reproductive organs.
During the confinement period, the parturient is taken care of by a special person, which is more conducive to physical recovery.
Taking care of newborns needs to be around the clock, and many mothers have not had enough sleep since the third trimester. Therefore, it is necessary to provide more rest time for pregnant women.
2. Psychological construction of motherhood: Most people don't have maternal love in generate like in TV series after giving birth to their children. Not the sex you want, not the smooth delivery you imagined, and so on. It will make the identity of the new mother inappropriate.
During confinement, it provides a lot of time for mother and child, so that new mothers don't have to worry about housework and will fall in love with their babies faster.
3. Neonatal care, the establishment of mother-child relationship.
Not all new mothers will take care of the newborn. In fact, new mothers will encounter all kinds of problems: delayed feeding time, baby can't suck milk, can't breastfeed smoothly, baby cries and so on …
Confinement provides a lot of time and space for new mothers and babies to adapt to each other and learn from each other.
If the delivery goes well, it is easy for the new mother and baby to establish a relationship. If the child is born prematurely or has other problems and needs to live in an incubator, or the mother has dystocia, it will increase the difficulty of establishing the mother-child relationship.
Lack of sleep is a big killer of postpartum depression! Mothers will take better care of their children if they rest more!
Therefore, Yuezi is not for women to play at home! Although I learned parenting knowledge in advance, I am still a novice in the face of children!
We often hear that foreigners don't have confinement after giving birth, but we have to have confinement after giving birth. Some friends think it is very strange. In fact, foreign women also need confinement, but strictly speaking, it is not 30 days. They call it the puerperium.
Whether it's confinement or puerperium, women who have just given birth need to face it. But why do you need confinement? The main reason is that women need to recover.
1. During the whole pregnancy, great changes have taken place in the maternal body structure, metabolic system and endocrine system. It takes some time for the child to recover after birth, especially in the uterus, which takes 6 to 8 weeks to recover.
2. After giving birth, a woman is very weak. At this time, the resistance drops, and you will get sick if you are not careful. Therefore, during confinement, the parturient needs rest and self-cultivation to prevent the invasion of cold and dampness, which is of great benefit to the recovery of the body in the future.
Some people may not know what confinement means.
Confinement refers to rest for one month or more after delivery.
Confinement can be traced back to the Book of Rites in the Western Han Dynasty, which is called "within a month". It has a history of more than 2000 years, and it is an indispensable ritual behavior after childbirth. From the perspective of sociology and medicine, confinement is a key period to help parturient successfully pass the physiological and psychological turning point in life.
Compared with confinement, it is reasonable to look at it with a correct view of science and history. In the past, it was reasonable for China people to have confinement. It was hard to be a daughter-in-law before. Housework is very heavy. There is no washing machine, no air conditioner, no hot bath and no hair dryer. There were no contraceptive measures before, and children were born one after another, and the nutritional conditions were not good. Malnutrition diseases such as anemia and calcium deficiency are common in pregnant women.
Therefore, in the past, we should supplement nutrition during confinement, eat an old hen every day, replenish blood, whether we can take a bath and wash our hair (no hot water, no air conditioning), be afraid of the cold (wearing a headscarf and thick clothes), take more rest and exercise less, and don't eat cold food. I usually work hard, and finally I can have a good rest for a month and have a chance to supplement my nutrition. It is really necessary.
Pay attention to eggshell parenting and learn more about expert parenting dry goods. There should be no problem. Many countries in the world don't have the custom of having a confinement. China and South Korea have similar practices. The United States and other countries do not have the concept of confinement.
Many people may say that China people need confinement because of racial problems. According to friends, many second-generation immigrants in the United States basically don't have confinement like Americans.
Personally, I think a proper rest is necessary. After all, it costs a lot of money to have a baby, and it will take a few days to shoot the lochia in the body.
However, some bad habits should be properly changed, such as covering them in hot weather and not turning on the air conditioner. You can't wash your hair on a hot day. And can't get out of bed and walk (proper exercise is still beneficial)
We in China attach great importance to "confinement", and women usually "confinement" after giving birth to their babies under the care of their families. Then what is Confucius? Why do you want to "sit on the moon"?
"Zi Yue", the medical term is "puerperium", refers to a special period from the delivery of placenta to the recovery of organs (except breasts) to the pre-pregnancy state, which usually takes 6-8 weeks.
Why do women "sit on the moon" after giving birth? This is because women will have great physiological changes after childbirth: women will consume a lot of energy, energy and physical strength during childbirth, and they are prone to fatigue; In addition, there is a wound inside the uterus, which will lose a certain amount of blood during childbirth, bloody lochia will appear after childbirth, and blood will continue to be discharged in a short time; The vulva may also have a wound due to tearing during childbirth; The excretion function of women's skin in puerperium is also strong, and it is easy to sweat; After giving birth to a baby, women will also secrete milk because of hormonal changes and the need to feed the baby. Breastfeeding will also consume the mother's energy and nutrition.
Due to the above-mentioned physiological changes and energy loss, if adequate nutrition and rest are not supplemented in time after delivery, it will affect the recovery of postpartum women's physical strength and the normal physiological functions of various organs, and even have the danger of getting sick, and will also affect milk secretion, thus affecting the baby's growth and development. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to pay attention to postpartum confinement.

Confinement means that pregnant women spend a month or more after giving birth to rest. Confinement can be traced back to the Book of Rites in the Western Han Dynasty, which is called "within a month". It has a history of more than 2000 years, and it is an indispensable ritual behavior after childbirth. From the perspective of sociology and medicine, "confinement" is a key period to help parturient successfully pass the physiological and psychological turning point in life.
First of all, giving birth to a child consumes a lot of physical energy and needs recovery in all aspects. She is weak, easily tired and sweaty, and recovers her physical strength through rest.
The second uterus needs to be recovered because of pregnancy in October, and there are more postpartum lochia, which ensures that it can't catch cold and helps to discharge postpartum lochia. At the same time, it can't lift heavy objects to prevent the uterus from moving down.
Various parts of the third internal organs also need to be repaired. During pregnancy, due to the oppression of the baby, all parts are not in their original positions.
Fourth, with the arrival of new life, our life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Everyone has an adaptation period, and they can gradually adapt when someone takes care of the next month.
