How to stimulate uterine contraction after delivery
In order to promote the rapid recovery of uterus, if lochia is found to increase, the first thing to do is to reduce the amount of activity, don't engage in manual labor prematurely, especially don't lift heavy objects, don't stand for a long time, and don't squat for a long time. These actions are easy to cause postpartum uterine prolapse. If the uterine contraction is not good, it is the most natural way to massage the bottom of the uterus in the early postpartum period to stimulate the contraction of uterine muscles. In addition, letting the baby eat breast milk as soon as possible can also stimulate uterine contraction. The physiological reflex caused by frequent sucking can also accelerate the recovery of uterus. For new mothers who don't breastfeed, the same effect can be achieved through breast massage or hot compress.
Many mothers can feel obvious uterine contraction pain when breastfeeding after delivery. This is because the baby's sucking action stimulates the secretion of oxytocin. It will hurt a little at this time, but oxytocin can help the uterus contract, so try to breastfeed after delivery. Then, postpartum should pay attention to keep the pudendal hygiene and strengthen the uterus to keep warm. Be sure not to touch cold things and have more rest.
In this case, on the one hand, drugs can be used, on the other hand, massage can be carried out to help the uterus recover and insist on breastfeeding. After delivery, great changes have taken place in the anatomy and physiology of various maternal systems, and the body's resistance has also been greatly reduced. Especially after the placenta comes out, there is a huge wound on the inner wall of the uterus, which is very prone to infection. Therefore, pregnant women must strengthen disease prevention and health care. The uterine fundus may adhere to the abdominal wall, and the recovery is limited. On the second day after delivery, the fundus of the uterus is flat and the horizontal finger drops every day. If it is still above the navel, it is recommended that you take Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis orally and inject oxytocin every day if necessary. If necessary, go to the hospital to review the B-ultrasound.
What are the precautions for uterine contraction?
In general, uterine contraction may lead to premature delivery, which is more dangerous. There are many factors that cause uterine contraction, such as fetal hypoxia, overwork, and painless activities. It is suggested to pay attention to bed rest and oxygen inhalation observation. If necessary, drugs should be used to protect the fetus. The uterus is an organ mainly composed of muscles, and uterine contraction is muscle contraction. With the increase of pregnancy weeks, the uterus becomes larger, the fetal weight increases, the amniotic fluid increases, and the tension on the uterine muscles gradually increases, which will lead to uterine contraction.
Generally speaking, in addition to giving drugs to promote uterine contraction after delivery, the most common way is to induce uterine contraction through uterine massage. After the fetus is delivered, the nursing staff will immediately help mommy massage the uterus to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. Usually, postpartum mommy is very tired. From 2 hours after delivery to 1 day, the nursing staff will guide the maternal nursing staff to stimulate the uterus and maintain uterine contraction through correct uterine massage. Clinically, the most common mistake of uterine massage is to only press the abdomen without massaging the uterus, so the first step of uterine massage is to find out the position of the uterus first. The postpartum uterus is located below the navel. You can obviously touch the uterus like a ball by pressing your stomach. Massage technique is not necessarily. The main principle is to stimulate muscle contraction through external force. As long as the uterus is hard, it means that the muscles are contracting.
