6300 words long, there are rumors, there are methods, it is worth collecting!
There is a rumor on the Internet that "you will grow old directly after giving birth 1 1 year". Is it true?/You don't say.
This statement really exists!
In biology, telomere is the real factor that determines a person's youth or aging, but it is directly related to people's life span and has nothing to do with skin care.
Expert research found that:
ZEM Science Network has also published similar scientific news, saying that among women aged 22-44, childbearing can obviously shorten telomeres and accelerate aging by about 1 1 year (not to say that women are older in appearance 1 1 year)!
Combined with the above, it is not difficult to see that having children and psychological pressure will accelerate people's aging, and after having children, women will have increased psychological pressure because of various problems in raising children! Isn't this worse, "double kill"
Don't worry about seeing this! There are other research data to hit the face! Studies have shown that having children may make people younger!
Study 1:
A foreign research data shows that mothers who have 2-4 children age the slowest (as a second-born mother, my eyes light up)! Women who give birth to more than five or 1 and women who don't give birth will age faster!
The specific reason is unknown, but it can only be speculated that women who have too many children are more likely to be obese, and obesity will cause a series of health problems; Women who have only one child or not have one child, except for personal choice, are mostly due to physical reasons, that is to say, poor health.
But this is a foreign study. Most of us have only one child in our country, which is our own choice, so the conclusion of emm ... seems to be of little reference significance to us.
Study 2:
A Swedish study with a population sample of 6.5438+0.4 million proves that childbearing can increase the average life expectancy of women by 654.38+0 years. Especially over 60 years old, women who have given birth can live another 24.6 years, and those who have no children can only live 654.38+08.4 years. This gap is relatively large.
As for the reason, the researchers speculate that it is probably because the elderly with children are happier in their later years, and their lifestyles and eating habits have become healthier in the process of raising children.
Study 3:
The demographic data analysis of anthropologists at the University of South Florida in the United States and a demographic data study in the Netherlands in 2009 all reached a similar conclusion: the stronger the fertility of women, the longer their life expectancy!
Study 4:
A study by Simon Fraser University in Canada shows that mothers who have more children have longer chromosome ends, so they are not prone to aging (previous studies have found that shortening chromosome ends is related to human aging).
Is the female friend who has given birth to a child suddenly relieved after reading these?
However, no matter what various scientific or social studies say, we have to admit that having children will cause a series of changes in women's bodies, and some parts will really be more prone to aging!
Next, I will come with you and give you advice to help you achieve postpartum reversal and keep your body young!
After giving birth to a baby, the first challenge faced by mothers is to want to be pregnant for 4 months! Usually caesarean section is more obvious than natural delivery. When Dabao and Bauer were born, they either wore loose clothes or corsets when they went out, and once worried about when their stomachs would return to normal.
In fact, this situation is medically called "rectus abdominis separation".
Only a mother with a big belly is actually lucky, because the serious separation of rectus abdominis will cause women to get out of bed after delivery, and even the internal organs may shift and sag, which will oppress the bladder and lead to urinary incontinence.
How do I know if my rectus abdominis is separated?
In fact, you can know whether your rectus abdominis separation is serious by simple self-test. According to the research progress of maternal rectus abdominis separation, the self-test method is as follows:
Normal: within 2 fingers (including 2 fingers)
Need improvement: 2 3 fingers
Need to see a doctor: 3 fingers or more.
If the distance between the muscles on both sides exceeds 3 fingers, the rectus abdominis is is severely separated, which may cause hernia (the small intestine protrudes from the abdominal wall), so you need to see a doctor in time!
How to improve the separation of rectus abdominis?
First of all, don't do strenuous exercise such as belly rolling and sit-ups, which will only aggravate the separation of rectus abdominis!
In fact, what we need to do is simple! It's abdominal breathing! The abdomen bulges when inhaling and sinks when exhaling.
This is the first step in the separation and repair of rectus abdominis after delivery. It is recommended that every mother practice this action first!
After 1 finger-to 1 finger-half, we will carry out the following abdominal movements training: 3 movements before going to bed! Very simple, just follow the picture!
Action 1: Stretch back muscles.
Efficacy: Stretch bilateral back muscles, exercise abdominal muscles and reduce waist and abdominal fat.
Action essentials:
Action 2: lift your hips and abdomen.
Efficacy: Tighten the muscles of buttocks and waist and abdomen, prevent sagging buttocks and tighten the lower abdomen.
Action essentials:
Action 3: Relax.
After doing the above two actions, my mother will feel a little sore in her abdomen and a little tight in her back, so I need to do the following relaxation actions to relax my muscles after exercise, relax my body and mind and promote better sleep!
Action essentials:
The above three actions, which are helpful to repair the separation of rectus abdominis after delivery, come from the parenting program "Please Mom" in anhui tv and are explained by professional doctors. Although the action is simple, it is not easy to keep doing it every day. Mothers should work harder for their health!
Urinary incontinence, frequent urination without urinary tract infection, nocturia, urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, vaginal wall swelling, frigidity, lumbago, sciatica and other pain, fecal incontinence, constipation and other postpartum symptoms. It is caused by "pelvic floor muscle relaxation"!
I had a brief urinary incontinence after giving birth, even the star was no exception. Ella (a member of SHE) bravely shared her previous embarrassing experience:
What is pelvic floor muscle relaxation?
The bone of the pelvis is a basin, but the bottom is hollow and covered with muscles. These muscles are pelvic floor muscles. In other words, pelvic floor muscle refers to the muscle group that closes the pelvic floor. It is like a net bag, which tightly nets the urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum and other organs, thus maintaining these organs to play their respective functions in normal positions. If the elasticity of this net becomes loose, that is, the pelvic floor muscles are slack and the muscle strength is insufficient, these trapped organs will be out of their original positions, and they will have dysfunction and cannot work normally.
During pregnancy, the weight of the uterus gradually increases, and the position of the uterus in the pelvic floor and abdominal cavity gradually becomes vertical, so that more force directly presses against the pelvic floor. After the uterus is oppressed during pregnancy and a huge labor force, the nerves, muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor are compressed, stretched or torn, which will cause the pelvic floor muscles to relax and the muscle strength to decrease, which will lead to urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
Therefore, if the damaged pelvic floor muscles are not rehabilitated in time after delivery, there will be various sequelae. However, if systematic training is carried out in time and scientifically, the function of pelvic floor muscles can be restored to a great extent, surgery can be avoided and the impact on life can be reduced.
How to improve pelvic floor muscles after delivery?
To improve pelvic floor muscles, it is necessary to exercise pelvic floor muscles, so as to enhance muscle strength and restore muscle contraction. In medicine, this kind of pelvic floor muscle movement is called Kegel movement.
Kegel exercise can be done at home, and the operation is not difficult. Let me give you a brief introduction:
As long as you master the essentials, Kegel exercise is not limited to lying flat, but can be easily carried out during breastfeeding, standing on weekdays and sleeping, with emphasis on persistence. In addition, what is introduced here is only the basic version of training, as well as the advanced version-kaigl muscle stretching exercise. You can search online for related video tutorials and detailed illustrations.
After giving birth to a baby, low back pain is believed to be the experience of many mothers! After giving birth to Bauer, my back pain was obvious. You can only lie flat at night. If I lie on my side for a while, my waist won't hold up and it will hurt.
First of all, let's start a rumor! Many people mistakenly think that a shot of anesthetic (such as painless injection or caesarean section) will cause back pain, but it won't!
Because the anesthesia needle is injected at the waist, many people can easily associate "postpartum low back pain" with "waist injection". Lumbar puncture does cause temporary dull pain at the puncture site after delivery, but this pain will gradually disappear within 2 weeks after delivery. The low back pain for several months or even years after delivery is related to the compression of the lumbar spine during pregnancy and the injury during childbirth.
A survey of 20 12 in Britain showed that the probability of low back pain was compared between those who chose painless delivery and those who chose normal delivery. The results showed that low back pain had nothing to do with labor analgesia. Even if there is no painless delivery, there is a 40% possibility of chronic postpartum low back pain.
If you pay attention to protect your waist after delivery, generally speaking, low back pain will gradually disappear about half a year after delivery, but if it persists, you need to go to the orthopedics department of your mother's hospital for an examination.
What behaviors will aggravate low back pain after childbirth?
1. Holding the baby: Mothers often unconsciously hold their stomachs when holding their children, which will save labor. I took photos and found that I was pregnant when I was holding my baby. Then I tried to pay attention to the posture when holding the baby.
2. Holding the baby in one hand: working in one hand, holding the baby in one hand, or holding the baby in one hand, this scene is not uncommon for mothers!
3. Bend down to help the baby walk: When the baby is learning to walk, many mothers will bend down all the way to protect the baby. It is conceivable that this kind of action hurts the waist.
The above actions will damage the lumbar spine for a long time, and will also lead to pelvic deflection and deformation!
How to save your old waist?
First of all, learn to use tools! 0~3 months old baby, the bones are still soft, and the spine is "C"-shaped. At this stage, the mother holds the baby with a backpack, which is not only suitable for the baby's spinal development, but also liberates her hands! For the baby who can sit for more than 5 months, the mother's reasonable use of waist stool can reduce the pressure on the waist. However, it is important to choose a waist stool with wide shoulder straps and belts, and the stool is inclined at about 30 degrees, so as to truly disperse the weight and reduce the burden on the mother.
Secondly, when the baby learns to walk, the mother should not bend over and carry the baby! In fact, the baby's toddler is a natural process and does not need the "help" training of parents. A mother carrying her baby not only damages her waist, but also is bad for her baby. Children are easy to get used to walking on tiptoe, which affects the development of legs and feet and may also cause dislocation of children's arms. The correct approach should be that the mother kneels down four or five steps in front of the baby and encourages the baby to come to the mother's side actively; When the baby just learns to toddler, the mother should also squat down to protect the baby and avoid bending over frequently.
Improper holding of the baby will also lead to pain and swelling of the mother's hand, which will gradually lose strength and may cause stenosing tenosynovitis of the styloid process of the radius!
Holding the baby for a long time, sucking milk with a manual breast pump, etc. It is easy to cause inflammation of the wrist tendon and redness near the wrist. Not only can you not hold your baby, but you can't even do basic movements such as pulling and hugging, which affects your normal life.
How to judge that you have tenosynovitis?
Hold your thumb in the palm of your hand, make a fist with four fingers around your thumb, and press your wrist down to the maximum. If the tendon has obvious pain, that is, the position of the red dot in the picture, be careful that it is tenosynovitis; The more you press down, the more obvious the pain is, indicating that the situation is more serious and needs attention.
How to relieve tenosynovitis?
1. Hot compress: Promote the metabolism and blood circulation of the wound through hot compress, massage and infrared radiation. , swelling and pain relief.
2. Use electric breast pump: Don't continue to use inefficient and laborious manual breast pump!
3. Hold the baby correctly and do less work: As mentioned above, hold the baby with a backpack or waist stool and try to let other family members hold the baby. During her illness, her mother did less housework, carried less heavy objects and had more rest.
4. Take painkillers: When you feel very painful and unbearable, you should take ibuprofen to relieve the pain. It is also safe for lactating mothers to take ibuprofen! If the situation is serious, you need to go to the hospital for treatment!
Due to lack of sleep for a long time, mothers have to wake up several times at night to take care of their babies. Mothers have serious dark circles, bad complexion and poor skin, and even lead to various emotional problems: depression, irritability, anxiety and irritability.
What mom can do is actually two things:
I made this video about how to do emotional conditioning and how to relieve postpartum fatigue. If you are interested, you can poke the link to watch:
Angry and anxious? Want to cry? Feeling that you don't love children? Mom, you may be really sick!
Mothers all suffer from postpartum hair loss. Looking at a lot of falling hair and hairlines on both sides of the forehead, I feel very distressed. ......
Why is it easy to lose hair after childbirth?
1. Hormone level decreased.
In fact, under normal circumstances, we lose and grow hair every day. There is a balanced relationship between them. However, the increase of estrogen during pregnancy leads to long-term elongation of the head and reduced shedding. However, after giving birth to the baby, because the estrogen level dropped sharply to the pre-pregnancy level, this batch of hair fell off and new hair did not grow out immediately, so it was "green and yellow", resulting in postpartum hair loss.
2. Nutrition has not kept up.
Hair growth needs adequate nutrition, such as protein, iron, vitamins, calcium and zinc. Mother is in a relatively weak state after delivery, and her body is in a relatively weak state. In addition, breastfeeding will also bring consumption, so it is easy to lack nutrition supply and cause hair loss.
3. Work and rest are chaotic and emotional.
After giving birth, mothers should have a good rest for a period of time, often stay up late, often wake up at night, overwork, emotional anxiety and tension, which will affect their health and hair growth and metabolism.
4. Do not pay attention to scalp cleaning
In some places, there is still a bad habit of "not washing your hair for a month". Not washing your hair is definitely not conducive to scalp maintenance, which in turn affects hair growth. After having children, mothers don't have enough time to wash their hair and care for their scalp, which is not conducive to hair regeneration.
Generally speaking, postpartum alopecia is only temporary, not pathological alopecia. In a few months, new hair will grow! Usually, you must pay attention to washing your hair frequently, thoroughly cleaning the scalp and foam every time, and do a good job in scalp care!
Finally, it is easy to be mistaken for a problem caused by breastfeeding: sagging breasts! There must be a rumor here: the culprit of ptosis is not breastfeeding! Not breast-feeding! Not breast-feeding!
The three major factors leading to thoracic ptosis are: weight change, gravity and pregnancy, which have nothing to do with breastfeeding.
How to improve thoracic ptosis?
According to Dr. Laila's suggestion, in order to improve the chest shape, we should train our chest muscles.
The first step is to choose the appropriate fitness underwear.
A good sports bra, the first thing to do is to be able to lock the chest to ensure that the chest does not shake and is not oppressed during exercise. Generally, the product label of sports bra will indicate support. If you do strenuous exercise, such as running, aerobics, playing ball, etc. You need to buy a more supportive sports bra.
The second step is to strengthen the exercise of the middle chest and lower chest muscles.
The muscles in the middle chest and lower chest are close to the nipple line, and proper exercise will make the chest quite warped. The easiest way to exercise is to do push-ups. If you can't do standard push-ups, you can reduce the difficulty and do knee push-ups and upward inclined push-ups.
In addition, mothers should also control their weight reasonably after delivery, because excessive increase or decrease of weight will also cause the relaxation of breast ligaments, so it is also important to maintain the stability of weight.
Although there will be a series of changes in postpartum women's bodies, some places will indeed accelerate aging and even appear lesions, but as long as we actively respond, these problems will always be solved! What mom needs is to keep an optimistic and positive attitude!
Anything great in the world comes at a price. "Having children" is a great thing, and it must be a sacrifice. I hope mothers can face the reality bravely. Having children won't make us old, but make us thoroughly remould.
After having children, we still have a long way to go in life, and there is still a lot of time to make ourselves better, both externally and internally! So don't be afraid to have children, and don't be afraid to get old! After becoming a mother, we bring our own "maternal love" aura, and there are also children's purest love for their mothers. We have gained far more than we have lost!
