1, how to recuperate after delivery
Continue to supplement iron after delivery.
WHO has issued new guidelines for iron supplementation for postpartum women, suggesting that postpartum women should take iron orally for 6 ~ 12 months, alone or in combination with folic acid in areas where anemia during pregnancy is regarded as a public health problem.
Zhang Huixin, chief physician of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, believes that six weeks after delivery is the recovery period of iron loss during pregnancy and delivery. She said that postpartum anemia can cause long-term harm to mother and fetus. Maternal women who store less iron during delivery are prone to fatigue, cognitive changes and postpartum depression after delivery, and such bad emotional and cognitive changes of mothers may cause bad behavior and growth of offspring.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation should be carried out as soon as possible after delivery.
Professor Xie, director of general gynecology at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that both abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles will be damaged to varying degrees, whether in natural delivery or cesarean section. At the initial stage, it is manifested as female private parts leaking urine and relaxation, and later it gradually develops into a series of pelvic floor dysfunction diseases such as urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse and sexual dysfunction.
Long Tengfei, a general gynecologist at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that women should exercise pelvic floor muscles before pregnancy and puerperium to prevent pelvic floor dysfunction diseases such as postpartum stress urinary incontinence. 6 ~ 8 weeks after delivery, the pelvic floor function should basically return to normal. At this time, you should go to the hospital for a pelvic floor function evaluation. If you find abnormal pelvic floor function, don't worry too much. Long Tengfei reminded that one year after delivery is the best training time for body shape and pelvic floor function. Therefore, if you miss 42 days after delivery, you can still seize the golden period of pelvic floor recovery to do pelvic floor functional exercise within one year after delivery.
Avoid excessive physical labor.
Pengpeng, a gynecologist at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, believes that postpartum mothers should avoid excessive physical labor, otherwise it may cause and aggravate pelvic floor dysfunction. She pointed out that there are many organs in a woman's pelvic cavity, such as uterus, bladder, rectum and female private parts, which are supported by the surrounding ligaments and the muscles at the bottom of the pelvic cavity. If the pelvic floor muscles are damaged, these organs will shift, causing many problems such as urinary leakage and uterine prolapse.
Pengpeng said that if you don't pay attention to rest after delivery, lift heavy objects too early, do a lot of exercise, and do housework that needs to hold your breath too early, it will delay the recovery of pelvic floor muscles and even aggravate the injury.
Pay attention to postpartum review
Li Li, an obstetrician in central hospital of wuhan, believes that many women attach great importance to pre-pregnancy and pregnancy check-ups, but often ignore postpartum check-ups. In fact, postpartum examination can not only help new mothers find hidden dangers in time, but also prevent them before they happen, which is equally important to the baby's health. Li Li said that postpartum examination is generally carried out 42 days after delivery. At this time, the doctor will make a comprehensive assessment of the new mother's physical and psychological state, understand the recovery of the new mother after delivery, and give corresponding guidance.
Li Li pointed out that there are four main aspects in the postpartum review of new mothers. First, general physical examination, such as weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and so on. The second is specialist examination, such as whether lochia is clean, whether the uterus is restored to the pre-pregnancy state, the healing of perineal wound or abdominal incision, the recovery of cervical laceration or erosion, and the recovery of pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. The third is the situation of breastfeeding. Including whether the mother's milk is sufficient, whether the breasts are swollen, and whether breastfeeding is needed. The fourth is the psychological evaluation of the new mother. Many new mothers will feel "stressed", emotionally unstable and even prone to postpartum depression.
2, postpartum confinement taboo
First, fasting is cold and spicy. Postpartum deficiency cold and blood stasis, should be fasting cold, cold products. A cold is more harmful to the stomach. A cold is blood coagulation. If lochia can't stop, it will cause postpartum abdominal pain, physical pain and other diseases. Postpartum blood loss hurts body fluids, mostly due to yin deficiency and internal heat. Therefore, spicy and irritating foods such as onions, ginger, garlic and peppers should be avoided. If you eat spicy food, it is not only easy to cause constipation and hemorrhoids, but also may affect your baby's gastrointestinal function through milk.
Second, postpartum diet should not be supplemented. Like the birth of animals, human beings are ready for future production during pregnancy. Overnourished women are prone to obesity, leading to many diseases. Maternal obesity can also cause the increase of fat content in milk, which will eventually lead to obesity or diarrhea in infants.
Third, vegetables and fruits are indispensable. As for vegetables and fruits, the traditional idea is that they are "moist" and will hurt the body if eaten, but I don't know that fresh vegetables and fruits can not only supplement vitamin C and cellulose that meat and eggs lack, but also promote appetite, help digestion and defecation and prevent postpartum constipation.
Fourth, the diet of Chinese medicine should also be symptomatic, and it cannot be supplemented by itself. Experts believe that normal pregnant women do not need drug supplements, and they can use some traditional Chinese medicines for symptoms and cooperate with diet therapy. If there is a lack of milk, the king will not leave the line, the grass, the pig's trotters, the platycodon grandiflorum and so on. Can be used for menstruation, with milk; For postpartum abdominal pain and constipation, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Semen Persicae, Semen Juglandis, and yellow wine can be added as appropriate to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and moisten intestines to relieve constipation.
