Some pregnant women abide by some traditional customs and dare not brush their teeth, comb their hair and take a bath for a few days after delivery, for fear of damaging their health, which is actually harmful to their health. Because women consume a lot of high protein every day after delivery, if they don't brush their teeth after meals, it will cause great stimulation to teeth and oral mucosa, which is most likely to cause oral inflammation and even loose teeth. In addition, after delivery, the metabolism in the body is vigorous, the parturient perspires more, the lower body produces lochia and milk overflow, which will make the skin dirty, affect the mood and easily breed bacteria.
The correct way: keep warm when washing normally, and start brushing your teeth the next day after delivery, if it is warm water in winter; Pay attention to the correct brushing posture. If it is a natural delivery, you can take a bath after delivery, and it is forbidden to take a bath. In addition, dry your body quickly after taking a shower, put on clothes in time, and blow dry immediately after washing your head. This is the first step in postpartum recovery.
Second, promote the discharge of lochia.
Puerperal women discharge menstrual-like liquids and secretions from the vagina, which are formed by the blood of the decidua and placenta peeling wounds in the uterus. It is the same as normal blood, so the less it flows, the better. Generally, the amount of blood discharged in the first three days after delivery is large (pure blood color), and it is basically white or yellowish white in a week or so, and it is discharged in about 2-3 weeks after delivery. The discharge of lochia marks the recovery of uterus, and whether there is any abnormality.
Correct practice: Pay attention to changing clothes and sanitary napkins frequently after delivery. If lochia is more, you can also take motherwort cream. If there is a blood clot or massive bleeding in lochia, or there is an odor, it means that the uterus is not recovering well and there may be infection. You should see a doctor as soon as possible. This is the second step in postpartum recovery.
Third, pay attention to urinating in time to prevent constipation.
Mommy needs to urinate in time after delivery, which is a major event in the postpartum recovery period. Once urinary retention occurs, bladder swelling may affect uterine contraction, which is not conducive to postpartum recovery. In addition, some women don't eat green vegetables, but only eat big fish and meat, which is also easy to cause constipation.
The correct way: if there is urine, it should be discharged, especially after 4-6 hours after delivery; Eat crude fiber food properly. If constipation occurs, do not abuse drugs. You can eat the traditional Chinese medicine Simo Decoction. This is the third step that postpartum recovery should pay attention to.
The fourth step is to prevent reproductive obesity.
Many pregnant women will become bloated after confinement, and it is difficult to recover in the future, so we should pay attention to it from confinement.
The correct way: exercise as soon as possible: as long as the body allows, the perineum will not rupture, and you can sit up to eat and drink water 12 hours after delivery, and get out of bed to change diapers 24 hours; You can do some slight housework on postpartum 10 day, but you should be careful not to squat for a long time and use too much force to avoid genital damage caused by increased abdominal pressure. In addition, it is best to have someone to accompany you when you get out of bed for the first time. This is the fourth step in postpartum recovery.
Fifth, the breast needs more care.
Breast is an important sex organ for women. In order to prevent postpartum breast ptosis and some breast diseases, we should pay attention to health care from postpartum.
The correct way: breastfeeding, don't wear a bra, wear a bra that is convenient for breastfeeding; If you can't finish eating the milk, you should empty it, taking no flatulence as the standard. This is the fifth step that postpartum recovery should pay attention to.
Step 6: Avoid sexual intercourse for 42 days after delivery.
The wound in the uterus and the recovery of the uterus need at least 42 days. Premature sexual relations may bring germs in and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.
The correct way: it is best to check that the reproductive organs have returned to normal before making love. In addition, not coming to menstruation does not mean not ovulating, and you should also pay attention to contraception during lactation. This is the sixth step that postpartum recovery should pay attention to.
Of course, the above six steps are only to help the new mother recover as soon as possible. Family care is also essential. Postpartum recovery and aftercare of new mothers are very important, not only related to the mother's own health, but also related to the baby's health. Therefore, new mothers should not be careless. We must do a good job in postpartum recovery and aftercare. Ok, we have finished what new mothers should pay attention to after childbirth, and what new mothers should pay attention to after childbirth. I hope everyone will pay more attention.
