Women who have just given birth are weak and need a period of rest, mainly bed rest. Some mothers said that they obviously feel that their health is not as good as before, and their physical strength has also dropped a lot. They want to find some ways to help their bodies recover. So, what are the ways and means of postpartum recovery?

Some methods and means of postpartum recovery

1. Breastfeed in time. Be sure to breast-feed your baby within one or two hours after delivery, which is very important for your mother. It can promote the contraction of the uterus, promote the recovery of your mother's body, and have many benefits for your baby.

2. Be sure to urinate in time six hours after delivery. It is very important to urinate in time after delivery, otherwise the bladder ghost will oppress the uterus, causing uterine bleeding, even massive bleeding, or urinary retention.

3. Be sure to monitor the body temperature in time within 24 hours after delivery. If the body temperature rises, you must find out the reason for it. The temperature rise may be caused by poor milk discharge, puerperal fever or other reasons, so we must take countermeasures in time.

4. Timely supplement nutrition after delivery. Postpartum women must eat more nutritious things in time, and it is very important to eat more vegetables and fruits, which is very necessary for postpartum recovery.

5. Be sure to exercise more after delivery. Postpartum women should not always lie down, not always in bed, but should exercise moderately to restore their bodies to their original state as soon as possible. But when exercising, we must pay attention to moderation, not excessive.

How does postpartum uterus recover?

The uterus plays a very important role in women's pregnancy and childbirth. After delivery, the maternal body is very weak, and it takes some time for the internal organs affected by pregnancy to fully recover, especially the female uterus, which needs good postpartum care to better help the uterus recover. Below, let's see what the parturient can do to help the postpartum uterus recover.

1, stimulating nipple can also help uterine contraction. Therefore, it is advisable to let the baby breast-feed as soon as possible after delivery. As long as the baby sucks, the uterus will contract, and the baby will suck frequently, and this reflex stimulation will accelerate the recovery of the uterus. Mothers who are not breastfeeding can also massage their breasts or apply hot compress to stimulate their nipples.

2, postpartum, doctors often tell mothers to urinate as soon as possible, usually 4 hours after delivery. Because in the process of delivery, the bladder is compressed, the mucosa is congested, the muscle tension is decreased, and the perineal wound is painful. If you are not used to urinating in bed posture, it is easy to have urinary retention, which will make the bladder swell and hinder uterine contraction, leading to postpartum hemorrhage or cystitis.

3, puerperal period should avoid long-term lying position. 6-8 hours after delivery, the lying-in woman can sit up after fatigue is eliminated, and get out of bed the next day to facilitate the recovery of physical function and strength, and help the uterus recover and discharge lochia. If the uterus has been bent backward, it should be corrected by knee-chest position.
