1. Uterine recovery: After delivery, it takes some time for the uterus to recover to the size before pregnancy. This process usually takes 6-8 weeks. During this period, the new mother may have vaginal bleeding (lochia), which is normal. If the lochia is large, dark in color, smelly or accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, it may be a sign of infection and you need to seek medical attention in time.
2. Wound recovery: If cesarean section or perineum incision is performed, attention should be paid to wound recovery. Keep the wound clean and dry to avoid infection. If the wound is red, swollen, painful, suppurative or has other abnormal symptoms, you need to seek medical attention in time.
3. Mastitis: Symptoms such as breast pain, lump and fever during lactation may be manifestations of mastitis. It is necessary to empty the breast in time, keep the breast clean, and use antibiotics if necessary.
4. Psychological adjustment: postpartum new mothers may have symptoms of postpartum depression, such as persistent depression, loss of interest in the baby, changes in sleep and appetite. If you have these symptoms, you need to seek the help of a professional psychological counselor in time.
5. Nutritional supplement: The new mother's body needs a lot of nutrition after delivery to restore physical strength and ensure the quality of breast milk. To ensure a balanced diet, eat more vegetables, fruits, high-protein foods and whole grains to ensure adequate water intake.
6. Physical exercise: With the permission of the doctor, appropriate physical activity can help the body recover and prevent the formation of blood clots. But be careful not to overwork, so as not to affect wound healing and physical recovery.
The above are some health problems that need to be paid attention to after delivery, and I hope it will help you. If you have any questions or discomfort, you must seek medical advice promptly.
