How to sleep better after delivery?
Confinement is the most important thing for a woman to have a baby. The purpose of confinement is to enable the parturient to recuperate the imam's body so as to avoid getting sick in the future. During childbirth, the mother must eat nutritious food. Especially those who have caesarean section need to pay more attention to whether they are eating or sleeping, so how can they sleep better during confinement?
How to sleep better during confinement?
1, correct sleeping position after delivery: postpartum women will have slight perineal tear, and some will leave wounds due to lateral perineal incision. The correct sleeping position of the puerpera after delivery is to lie on the side to avoid pressing the side with the wound. Try to avoid lying on your back. When the baby is just born, the seam will crack, resulting in a wide pelvis. Lying on your side will prevent the seam from cracking and easily return to the previous level. But be careful when breastfeeding, and don't squeeze your breasts when lying on your side.
2. The correct sleeping position after caesarean section: For the parturient who has had caesarean section, the anesthetic effect disappears after the operation, and the parturient's wound is painful, while the supine position is the most sensitive to uterine contraction pain, so the lateral position should be adopted, and the quilt or blanket can be placed behind the back to reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the incision during physical activity.
How to nurse after confinement
1, the diet should be reasonable, comprehensive and nutritious. Lean meat, eggs, fish and other foods rich in protein should be eaten every day, and fruits and vegetables should also be eaten. The most important rice and pasta should be eaten at every meal. Don't refuse to eat these starchy foods just because you can lose weight after giving birth.
2. Get enough sleep and go to bed on time at 10 every night. The recovery period of the body is mostly when you sleep at night. Only by eating well and sleeping well can all organs of the body recover quickly.
3, walk around the house properly, walking will help the body's blood circulation, so that all parts of the body are in motion, will not be fixed in one position for a long time, and the recovery will be slow.
4, the mood should be relaxed, don't be too stressed. I feel that I can't take care of my baby, or I am worried that my baby won't have enough to eat. It is best for the baby during confinement. Basically, when I eat and sleep, it will cry when I am hungry, as long as I change diapers frequently. Only when the mood is relaxed will it help the recovery of the body.
Try not to do the work at home, especially the heavy work such as mopping the floor and holding the basin. After doing work, the body will be in a state of mild fatigue, which will not help the recovery of the body.
6. Try to stay in bed for most of the day, which will not only help the uterus, stomach and other internal organs to return to their original positions, but also help to care for the baby.
How to sleep better during confinement? There are some differences between caesarean section and natural delivery. Cesarean section must pay attention to the wound, lying flat can relieve the pain. Eat more eggs and lean meat during confinement, so that you can recover well, and you can recover better if you have a good rest every day.
What should I do if the postpartum uterus recovers badly?
The main action of uterine recovery is continuous contraction, which squeezes out the fetus from delivery and then squeezes out the placenta. The blood in the uterus is constantly discharged from the body, which is lochia. The uterus compresses the opening of blood vessels through continuous and powerful contraction, thus forming blood clots and stopping bleeding. If the uterus is further squeezed, blood clots will be continuously discharged, and the volume of the uterus will gradually shrink. What are the rapid recovery methods of postpartum uterus? Through the following three methods, the process of uterine involution can be accelerated.
1, urinate in time after delivery. Do not inflate the airbag or keep it inflated.
2, 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.
3, postpartum should be breast-fed. Because the baby's sucking stimulation will reflexively cause uterine contraction, thus promoting uterine recovery.
How to judge postpartum uterine recovery can generally be judged by observing the color of uterine bottom and lochia. The following are two external indicators for judging postpartum uterine recovery:
1. If the uterus recovers well, check the bottom of the newborn uterus, and you can touch it from the navel. You can't touch the uterus for about two weeks unless you have uterine fibroids.
2. The color of lochia ranges from bright red, dark red, dark black to reddish, and finally colorless.
In fact, most mothers' uterus is still contracting normally; But if you can still feel a lump in your lower abdomen, it may be contractions. However, it also depends on the reduction of lochia. Sometimes, the uterus does not shrink because it has hysteromyoma. These all need to go to the hospital for examination. If it is really a contraction, the main danger is that it will cause postpartum enlargement.
Postpartum uterine recovery usually occurs after 7- 10 days, and the internal cervix will be closed. As time goes on, the uterus will be further squeezed, the residual lochia will be continuously discharged, and the volume of the uterus will gradually shrink. Until about 4 weeks after delivery, the cervix will gradually return to normal size, and it will take longer for caesarean section mothers to recover their uterus after delivery. Generally speaking, postpartum uterine recovery takes 42 days.
The normal size of postpartum uterus is: 5.0-8.0cm long, 4.0-5.0cm wide and 2.0-3.0cm thick.
Bleeding, this is the place that really needs attention.
