Many pregnant mothers feel that giving birth to a child is too painful and horrible, and they would rather choose caesarean section, but they don't know that it is more painful after caesarean section. They have to lie flat with wounds, pull out catheters to defecate, move in the fields, turn over, disinfect and change medicines every day ... It's really not as easy as I thought.

Why is there a saying that "lie flat and go to the pillow" after cesarean section? What are the precautions? There are many things to pay attention to after cesarean section. The first is the requirement? "The parturient must go to bed for 6 hours"? Many family members don't understand why they are doing this. Is it comfortable for a woman to keep a posture for a long time? And don't let the pillow pillow, then tell me why.

1. What is the main reason for asking for "lying flat without pillow" after caesarean section?

① Relax the lumbar spine.

Because when doing caesarean section, what anesthesia method is mainly used? "Subdural anesthesia", at the request of the anesthesiologist, the lying-in woman leans sideways, arches her back as much as possible, and exposes the lumbar intervertebral space, which is convenient for the anesthesiologist to perform lumbar anesthesia.

During spinal anesthesia, puncturing the lumbar spine into the spinal canal will cause certain damage to the spinal cord of the parturient. After the operation, the parturient will take the posture of "taking off the pillow and lying flat", which can relax the lumbar spine and get some rest, which is helpful for the recovery of the body and the absorption of anesthetic.

2 let the body rest.

Cesarean section is a mode of delivery that consumes a lot of physical strength of parturient. Postpartum women are required to stay in a state of "lying flat without pillow", which is a complete rest state and can promote the recovery of physical strength.

③ Promote uterine recovery.

After cesarean section, it is more harmful to the uterus. From this perspective? It is recommended to "lie flat" and let the congestion in the uterus flow naturally; The state of "removing the pillow"? It can also relieve the tension and fatigue of lying-in women during the operation.

④ Avoid respiratory depression.

If the anesthetic is not fully absorbed during the operation, there is still anesthetic residue in the blood, and the parturient may have respiratory tract inhibition. Lie flat? Posture can fully open the respiratory tract, relieve symptoms and avoid respiratory depression and suffocation.

2. What should a woman do to "go to the pillow and lie flat"? ?

First of all, the parturient should be gently placed on the hospital bed, turned around the pillow below, and kept lying flat;

Then add sandbags to the parturient's abdomen to pressurize the wound, because the parturient's abdomen has undergone multiple layers of incision and suture during the operation, and the tension of the wound is very high. Using sandbags to pressurize and fix it can prevent the wound from cracking. At the same time, by pressing the abdomen, the congestion in the uterus is discharged as soon as possible, which promotes the recovery of the uterus.

3. In the process of "going to the pillow and lying flat", family members and parturients must pay attention to these points.

(1) Be absolutely flat. ?

In other words, don't put a pillow. Some family members will quietly put a pillow on the parturient for fear of discomfort, but it is very easy to be dangerous. If lying flat is really unbearable, you can communicate with the doctor and look up appropriately according to the doctor's advice.

② Family members should not communicate with the parturient too much, but should observe the parturient more and make relevant records.

In the process of taking off the pillow and lying flat, because the physical and mental state of the lying-in woman has not recovered, she is still very weak, so the family members should communicate with her as little as possible, let her rest as much as possible, carefully observe the changes of her complexion and mental state, and strictly record the urine volume and fluid input.

③ Family members should not move the parturient at will to avoid pulling the wound.

In the process of lying flat with the pillow removed, the parturient will be tired because of keeping a posture for a long time, but the family members should not move the parturient at will because of this, so as to avoid bleeding from the wound being pulled. You can gently massage your legs and waist to relieve discomfort.

4. In addition to "going to the pillow and lying flat", should you pay attention to these matters after caesarean section?

Compared with natural delivery, there are many aspects that need attention after caesarean section, which will be more painful. Besides lying on the pillow, there are other points to pay attention to.

① Four early principles:? Postpartum women must be allowed to exhaust early, go to the fields early, defecate early and turn over early to promote gastrointestinal recovery and uterine involution;

② The postpartum diet is mainly light:? On 1 day after delivery, you can drink some light radish water to promote exhaust, or you can eat a small amount of egg yolk to supplement protein; 2-3 days after delivery, you can eat fruits properly, but don't eat too cold or sweets, so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

5. Cesarean section discharged home to rest. Should mothers pay attention to these aspects?

Although cesarean section is very mature, it is also an operation after all, and postoperative self-cultivation is very important. Generally, you can leave the hospital after 5-7 days in hospital, so don't pay attention to it for a while after you go home.

① Pay more attention to bed rest and proper activities, and don't do strenuous activities, which will affect the recovery of the body and wounds;

2 avoid catching cold, cold water and direct blowing, which are not conducive to the recovery of postpartum body, and even leave "moon disease";

③ Pay more attention to diet during confinement:

The overall nutrition is balanced, protein is abundant, and fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten. Some time ago, it was reported that in a certain place in Guangdong, the baby had a cerebral hemorrhage because he didn't eat vegetables during confinement. Can you eat some properly? Diuretic swelling, promote lochia discharge of food, you can also arrange some foods that help promote milk secretion; It is not advisable to eat too greasy and fried food, and not to eat spicy and irritating food, so as not to increase the burden of gastrointestinal digestion and body metabolism; There are also some foods that affect breast milk secretion. For example, some mothers will return to milk after eating leeks, but there are individual differences. It is best to avoid eating, there is no luck. Pay attention to proper rest in April, don't hold the baby too early, don't hold the baby for too long at a time, don't sit for a long time, and stay in bed immediately if you feel unwell, such as backache.

⑤ Stay away from postpartum depression, family members should pay more attention to the mood and psychology of the parturient, and guide them in time if they find that the parturient has bad mood; When the new mother is in a bad mood, she should also communicate with her family and husband in time, or solve the bad mood in time by diverting attention.
