The word "confinement" is called puerperium in medicine: it refers to a period of time from the delivery of placenta to the recovery of all organs except breast to near pre-pregnancy state, which is about 6 weeks. In "Confucius", all the systems of the whole body have changed obviously. So pay more attention to health care. According to the old habit, it is unscientific not to wash your hair, bathe, brush your teeth or cut your nails. Must change.
The period from birth to 28 days after birth is called neonatal period. This is the second development peak after the intrauterine development of the fetus, and it is also a transitional stage for the baby to gradually adapt to the life outside the uterus. At this time, children are changing every day and every week, some of which are normal physiological phenomena, while others are precursors of diseases. In view of the immature functions of newborn's organs and systems, the poor regulation function of the central nervous system, the inability to adapt to changes in the external environment, imperfect autoimmune function and low disease resistance. The only food at this stage is breast milk or milk. Newborns can easily get sick if they are not properly fed. Once the newborn gets sick, it should be treated in time, otherwise it will do great harm to the newborn's body. Therefore, careful nursing and comprehensive health care for newborns are also extremely important.
1, confinement in the hospital?
1, elegant and comfortable environment
The living environment of lying-in women should be quiet, comfortable and sunny. In the hospital, there will be full-time nursing staff responsible for regular indoor ventilation and observing indoor temperature and humidity, and using scientific methods to ensure that mothers and babies have enough fresh oxygen, instead of the traditional concept of "no light, no blowing".
2. Reasonable work and rest arrangements
There should be enough rest time after delivery, otherwise the mother will have anxiety, fatigue and depression, which will also affect the secretion of milk. Under normal circumstances, the hospital will let the mother and the baby share the same room, which is more humanized. However, if the baby affects the rest of the mother, the professional nurse will take the baby away, arrange scientific nursing, ensure that the mother can sleep 10 hours a day, guide the scientific sleeping posture, and promote the recovery of the mother's uterus.
3. Expert dietary guidance
Due to the large physical exertion during delivery and the relaxation of abdominal muscles, the gastrointestinal peristalsis ability after delivery is weak. Therefore, we should eat some light, digestible and nutritious food in the first few days after delivery. There are professional nutritionists in the hospital, who are fully responsible for the monthly diet and nutrition of pregnant women. Scientifically match fruits and vegetables, supplement vitamins needed by human body, and guide lactating women how to supplement calcium-containing foods or calcium agents. In addition, nutritionists will also guide pregnant women to eat a balanced diet, scientifically restore their body and weight during confinement, and be a beautiful mother of a healthy baby.
4. Pay attention to postpartum exercise
The traditional confinement will not easily let the parturient walk or even get out of bed. Actually, this is unscientific. Normal parturient can go to bed and toilet 12 hours after delivery. You can move freely after 24 hours after delivery, but you should avoid standing, squatting or doing heavy work for a long time to prevent uterine prolapse.
At this time, professional medical staff are needed as guidance, which can not only ensure the health of pregnant women, but also contribute to the recovery of the body.
5. Keep it clean and hygienic.
Maternal personal hygiene is very important. The sanitary patch and perineal pad used should be disinfected and sterilized.
Take a bath frequently, change your underwear frequently and keep your skin clean and dry. If there is a perineal incision and the wound has not been cleared, the vulva should be scrubbed once a day. Rinse your mouth after meals, brush your teeth on time and pay attention to oral hygiene.
6, postpartum recovery check
The purpose of postpartum reexamination is to observe whether the lying-in woman's body returns to normal, and receive health education and contraceptive guidance, usually in 6-8 weeks after delivery. Because of confinement in the hospital, doctors and nurses can observe the health status of mother and baby at any time and systematically assess the basic health status of the body. Once the mother and baby have any abnormal health signs, they can be found and treated early.
2. What are the new moons in the hospital?
Gynecologists and pediatricians make rounds every day, which can find hidden dangers of maternal and child diseases in time and provide medical care consultation. Every morning, the nursing staff will take blood pressure, temperature, lochia and uterine recovery for the parturient.
Nurses will also guide pregnant women in the correct breastfeeding posture and methods, help them change diapers for their babies, and often communicate with pregnant women. Effectively avoid emotional irritability during confinement and postpartum depression.
Provide professional neonatal care services during the second month. Nurses will explain the knowledge of newborn care, feeding, early education, disease prevention and postpartum rehabilitation to new mothers. For example, when children should supplement calcium, when to add cod liver oil, and how to deal with hiccups after milk, nurses will always remind and guide them.
Expert advice:
According to experts, due to different habits and constitutions, some western countries are not very particular about women's confinement. In Southeast Asia, such as South Korea, Taiwan Province Province and other places, postpartum health care centers and moon-accompanying centers have been set up to serve the confinement. Oriental women are delicate. Postpartum body resistance decreased, uterine bleeding, placental abruption with wounds, bacteria easy to invade, self-recovery is very important. Moreover, the hormone level changes greatly during pregnancy and postpartum, which will cause maternal emotional instability and need to be adjusted wholeheartedly. Newborn children are undergoing new changes every day, and physiological and pathological phenomena are difficult to distinguish. With the care and guidance of medical staff, young mothers' concerns about these problems can be alleviated.
Give your mother warm care.
There are many unscientific aspects in the traditional confinement, such as requiring the parturient to eat several eggs a day. The hospital has formulated different measures for pregnant women and newborns. Maternal weight loss, baby weight gain. The food given by the hospital to pregnant women is nutritious and easy to breastfeed. Start morning care after breakfast. In the afternoon, instruct the parturient to do postpartum health exercises. Give lectures once a week to explain the knowledge of newborn care, feeding, early education, disease prevention, postpartum rehabilitation and so on, so as to help pregnant women adapt to their new role as soon as possible.
Give the baby health protection.
For postpartum newborns, the hospital is equipped with corresponding equipment and professional neonatal chief physician. Mainly in the form of one-to-one service, specialist nurses are responsible for guiding education, early suction and early lactation. Babies should eat breast milk within 30 minutes after birth, which is beneficial to the secretion of breast milk. Effective infant health care measures should be taken to promote maternal and infant health and reduce maternal and infant complications. After the fifth week after delivery, you can gradually take the baby outside to breathe fresh air, let the baby wear less first, and then take it outdoors when the baby gets used to it.
