Postpartum recovery of the first fetus
When I was pregnant with Dabao, I began to pay attention to the related issues of postpartum recovery. At that time, there were not many private education courses on postpartum recovery in the market, so after comparing several schemes (mainly the cases of some stars, such as Xiao S and Li XiaoLu's books), I chose to be self-reliant-tie my abdomen with gauze.
I was dumbfounded to say the requirements of this kind of gauze, such as how many centimeters wide and how many meters long, pure cotton, single layer and double layer, and it is best to choose medical gauze and the like. Then the winding method is also frustrating, especially for a mother who is still in hot water for a month-lying flat, raising her hips, and then spirally winding double-layer gauze from the root of her thigh to the upper body, and returning it every half turn until her navel; Then wrap a single layer of gauze from the navel position and wrap it to the lower edge of the breast in the same way. I don't know how many people can understand this expression. Anyway, I still don't understand how I insisted on the end of maternity leave. I have to pack three or four times a day. I want to relax before eating, wrap it after eating, and relax before going to bed. I also need to prepare two sets of small change. You can imagine how many black lines were on my face when my mother and I took a shower and dried up!
What about the effect? I compared myself with my mother who didn't wear a belt around me. Within half a year, my body recovered faster than them, at least when I went out with a belt on, I didn't have such a big belly. But after half a year, everyone has entered the end of postpartum recovery, and basically there is not much difference. As long as it is not postpartum overeating, almost no one's abdomen is so obvious.
The doctor will check the recovery of rectus abdominis when checking the postpartum recovery. The recovery degree of my rectus abdominis is no different from that of other patients who don't need to wear it.
Postpartum recovery of second child
Before I got pregnant with Bauer, I enrolled in a yoga instructor's training class and was exposed to the related contents of postpartum recovery training from India. My yoga teacher also checked the recovery of rectus abdominis about two years after delivery, and there was still a finger and a half separation. But because I missed the best recovery training time, the teacher asked me to carry out rectus abdominis recovery training within six months after giving birth to Bauer.
This postpartum did not use a complicated abdominal belt, but replaced it with a simple one. Three months after delivery, I signed up for a post-natal recovery course, which is really expensive! But the effect is also quite immediate. After the second class, the separation of rectus abdominis has been tightened from the first four fingers to two and a half fingers. After ten classes, the upper abdomen and lower abdomen have recovered to within half a finger, and the middle position is within one finger, which is quite good for those who have not recovered after childbirth.
Finally, summarize the experience:
1, the effect of abdominal band is not as magical as advertised. I used a long gauze strip to wrap it twice, which can be said to be in strict accordance with the requirements of publicity. I have done some research on this behavior, including searching literature to find its basis and source. In fact, after delivery in the hospital, the doctor will also fix the abdomen for the mother, with the aim of fixing the uterus after delivery. Because the ligament that fixes the uterus in the human body is stretched for too long during pregnancy, it can't recover its elasticity quickly after delivery. At this time, fixing the uterus with external force will promote the recovery of the uterus. At the same time, it can fix the internal organs that are over-squeezed during pregnancy, help them return to their original positions as soon as possible, and avoid sagging and displacement due to the release of abdominal space.
However, this only helps the internal organs to recover. It is useless to imagine that the tied waist is thinner than before pregnancy, and it will not "tie" the excess fat to other places. Then the recovery of rectus abdominis has little effect. Many mothers think that if they are tied tightly, they will recover better and have a thinner waist. In fact, not only can not achieve the effect, but it will lead to poor blood circulation, affect the involution of uterus, and even cause venous thrombosis.
Therefore, the use of abdominal belt is effective, but it is not so magical. Let's just say that it will be more comfortable for mom to get out of bed and walk. It should also be emphasized that when you tie it, just stick it on your body, and don't tie it tightly, so as not to block blood circulation. (Search for videos by yourself for specific operations. )
2, eat less and eat more meals, eat digestible food. Can effectively prevent food from staying in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, leading to the feeling of sagging stomach and paunchy belly.
3. Find a more reliable postpartum recovery personal education. But don't pay too much for class at one time. The most important thing is to learn two essentials. One is to tighten the pelvic floor muscles, and the other is to learn to tighten the rectus abdominis with 3D breathing. The feeling of these two movements must be found right and practiced frequently. Even if you don't have personal training, you can practice all kinds of yoga or postpartum recovery actions by yourself, but before all the action exercises begin, please remember to contract the pelvic floor muscles first, then tighten the rectus abdominis, and then do other exercises. Otherwise, it will aggravate the relaxation of pelvic floor muscles and the separation of rectus abdominis when doing a lot of abdominal exercises or actions that require abdominal force.
I hope my summary is helpful to you. If you find it useful, remember to reward me with a little praise!
