How long does it take to do yoga after caesarean section?

I didn't practice yoga until six months after caesarean section.

After you can practice, if you feel pain or any discomfort during the practice, then pause and have a rest. It still depends on the individual's physique.

Although the specific situation varies from person to person, we generally do not recommend new mothers to do more physical exercise in the first two months after delivery. Some women's pregnancy and delivery are more difficult and complicated, such as caesarean section, tearing or prolonged labor. Such women should give priority to rest. On the contrary, if pregnancy and childbirth are normal and there is no problem, you can start exercising early.

Contraindications of postpartum care

Avoid fatigue

The parturient may cause perineal laceration after delivery, and the best recovery method is to put your legs together and rest more. Modern doctors will also cut the perineum for the new mother first and then sew it up, so the new mother should also "sit on the moon" now. Although it doesn't mean that she is completely lying in bed, she should try to rest, don't climb the stairs and don't be overworked.

Avoid eating more monosodium glutamate

In order to prevent zinc deficiency in infants, pregnant women should avoid eating too much monosodium glutamate. Generally speaking, it is beneficial and harmless for adults to eat monosodium glutamate, but if the mother eats a high-protein diet while breastfeeding, it will be harmful to the baby, especially the baby within 12 weeks. Because sodium glutamate in monosodium glutamate will enter the baby through milk. Excessive sodium glutamate has a serious impact on the development of infants, especially those within 12 weeks. It can specifically combine with zinc in the baby's blood to produce glutamic acid that cannot be absorbed by the body, but zinc is excreted with urine, resulting in zinc deficiency in the baby. In this way, babies are not only prone to poor taste and anorexia, but also have adverse consequences such as mental retardation and growth retardation.

Avoid taking ginseng in a hurry

It is harmful to rush to use ginseng to supplement your body. However, the new mother who has just given birth has great energy and physical strength and needs to stay in bed. If she takes ginseng at this time, she will find it difficult to sleep because of excitement, which will affect her energy recovery.

How long can you lose weight after delivery?

Obstetricians and gynecologists believe that it is not suitable for new mothers to do weight loss exercise immediately after giving birth to their children. Doing some weight-loss exercise shortly after delivery may slow down the recovery of uterus and cause bleeding, while strenuous exercise will slow down the recovery of the new mother's surgical part or vulvar incision, because hormones in the body will change during pregnancy, softening connective tissue, and some joints are particularly vulnerable to injury in the weeks after delivery. The situation is even more dangerous if the new mother is delivered by caesarean section. Therefore, new mothers should choose the right time to do slimming exercise so as not to damage their health. Normal mothers can generally start postpartum slimming exercise 4-6 weeks after delivery, while mothers who have caesarean section can only do postpartum slimming exercise after 6-8 weeks after being diagnosed by doctors.
