Why are you confinement? Great changes have taken place in the body of pregnant women during pregnancy, such as enlargement of uterus, enlargement of abdomen, compression of lumbar vertebrae and so on. There are also some mothers who will have rectus abdominis separation and abdominal pelvic muscle relaxation. Six weeks after delivery is the puerperal period, which is the best period to recover the functions of various organs of the body. You need to have a good rest and recover your body.
Confinement is a custom that has been circulating for thousands of years. Although there were many bad habits in the past, such as not washing your hair and brushing your teeth, it is reasonable to exist. As a man who has sat on the moon twice, it is very necessary to sit on the moon well.
Lazy mother has a deep understanding of moon disease. When she gave birth to Dabao, she was confined in summer and the weather was super hot. At that time, she often wore half-sleeved clothes and shorts. Moreover, I don't have the experience of taking a baby, and I often have a bad rest, so I often have low back pain after delivery, and my hands and feet often feel very cold, cold to my bones.
Finally accumulated a little experience. Before Bauer is born, I'm going to sit for a month to let my body recover. Who knew that Bauer was a high-demand baby? Although lazy mother had a caesarean section, she could only take care of him with Bao Dad. As a result, three months after delivery, lazy mother found low back pain, heel pain, numbness in her hands, weakness and swelling pain. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn't hold my fist with both hands.
Many friends around me have back pain and hand pain more or less because they can't sit still, which shows how important it is to sit still!
Pay attention to 10 when you are in confinement. 1. Don't push too hard and don't lift heavy objects.
Postpartum weakness, some organs have not recovered to their original positions, such as the uterus. If the force is too strong, it will easily lead to uterine prolapse.
Many new mothers will want to ask, what is a heavy object?
Lazy mother's answer is: everything heavier than a newborn is heavier!
Therefore, it is best for new mothers to take the weight of newborns as the standard and not to exceed this weight.
Even if it is a newborn, the new mother should not hold it for a long time, just hold it when nursing, so that the body can recover better.
2. Don't sit for a long time
Many women need to take care of their babies after childbirth, such as breastfeeding, but sitting for a long time is easy to cause low back pain. Be sure to pay attention to it and don't sit for a long time.
If you need to feed your baby, it is best to use a more comfortable posture, then put a head pillow on your waist to reduce the stress on your waist, or you can lie on your side to feed your baby.
3. Don't stand for too long
When a woman stands up, the pressure on her body will be concentrated on her feet, which will easily cause heel pain after a long time. If the new mother doesn't want this to happen, it's best to change her posture frequently, lying, sitting or standing, but not for a long time.
When standing, you must pay attention to the uniform exertion of your feet, and don't focus on one foot alone to avoid excessive loss.
Don't bend over often, let alone for a long time.
Low back pain is the most common condition for lying-in women, especially for mothers who often need to bend over in the second month.
Due to the special circumstances of the parturient, the puerperium was originally used for recovery. If the waist is not well protected at this time, the problem of low back pain is more likely to fall.
During confinement, the new mother had better use her waist as little as possible, change diapers, help her baby get dressed, and give her baby to someone else to do.
If others can't help, you can choose to use a highly suitable diaper table to reduce the chance of bending over.
5. Don't catch cold
The parturient who just gave birth to a baby is very weak and her resistance drops. If they catch a cold, they will easily get sick, and the cold and moisture will also invade their bodies and affect their health.
Therefore, it is recommended that new mothers:
① Keep warm at ordinary times, and try to put on a gown, trousers, socks and hat.
② If the air conditioner is turned on, it is best to add a windshield at the air outlet of the air conditioner, so as not to let the cold air blow directly to the body.
③ Dry your body and get dressed as soon as possible after each bath.
Eat less cold food, such as watermelon and pear.
⑤ Don't eat frozen food and try not to touch cold water.
Maybe the young new mother will think it is too nervous, but it is not. It is very necessary to protect yourself. A friend just sat in the middle of confinement, and the baby's grandmother said that there was something at home and left her mother directly. As Bao's father is not at home, friends have to take care of the baby by themselves, washing vegetables, cooking and washing clothes every day? Now my friend is very afraid of the cold. As long as the weather is a little colder, she will feel that her whole hands are cold and her knees are cold, so she regrets it very much now.
6. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene
Many postpartum women have wounds (caesarean section wounds, perineal lateral incision or perineal tear), and many women will discharge lochia. So pay more attention to cleaning to avoid wound infection.
Besides, I feel uncomfortable with my dirty body. Therefore, pregnant women should also do personal hygiene. Now, unlike before, you can't brush your teeth and wash your face, like washing your hair and taking a bath, as long as you recover your strength.
7. Prevent constipation
Postpartum gastrointestinal function is poor, and influenced by diet, many women will have constipation.
Anyone who has tried constipation will know how uncomfortable constipation is, and because of constipation, it is necessary to use force when defecating, which may lead to secondary dehiscence of the wound and seriously affect recovery.
Maternal women can eat more foods rich in dietary fiber to prevent constipation and avoid these situations.
8. Pay attention to your diet
Generally speaking, postpartum is a tonic. Indeed, the maternal body is weak and of course needs to eat more.
There are even some mothers who constantly force themselves to eat more because of lack of breast milk, which leads to serious overweight.
What lazy mother wants to say is that you don't have to eat or drink after childbirth, just eat well. Even if you are breastfeeding, if you often feel hungry, then eat less and eat more meals, pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, but don't be too greasy.
9. Appropriate exercise
The mother of caesarean section should get out of bed and walk in time within 24 hours after delivery.
Mothers who give birth naturally can get out of bed and walk around within a few hours after delivery.
Although you need more rest in the month, rest doesn't mean lying in bed all the time. At an appropriate time, new mothers also need to exercise their muscles and do some exercise indoors.
Generally, you can exercise properly two weeks after delivery. Of course, the most important thing is to follow your own physical needs and exercise under the premise of physical conditions, so as not to be tired.
10. Stay happy
The hormone levels in women who have just given birth to babies change greatly, and some mothers will be affected by these hormone levels, leading to depression, depression and anger.
Moreover, the maternal mood is too low or angry, which will also affect the secretion of milk, resulting in less rations for the baby.
So no matter what, the new mother should take good care of herself and make herself happy.
Generally speaking, during the second month, new mothers must love themselves and try to be lazy to make their bodies recover faster. Go to the hospital for examination 42 days after delivery to see the physical recovery. If postpartum rehabilitation is necessary, please don't be stingy, but they must do it in the hospital.
