So, what fruit should women eat?
1, banana: Banana contains a lot of cellulose and iron, which has the function of relaxing bowels and enriching blood. Mother loves to stay in bed, has poor gastrointestinal peristalsis and is often constipated. In addition, postpartum blood loss is more, and blood needs to be supplemented, and iron is one of the main raw materials for hematopoiesis, so eating more bananas can prevent postpartum constipation and postpartum anemia. Maternal intake of iron is more, and the iron in milk sweat is more, which is also helpful to prevent infant anemia.
2, oranges: oranges contain more vitamin C and calcium, vitamin C can enhance the elasticity and toughness of blood vessel walls and prevent bleeding. After giving birth to a child, the maternal endometrial wound is large and there is much bleeding. If you eat some oranges, you can prevent postpartum hemorrhage. Calcium is an important part of baby's bones and teeth. If the mother eats some oranges properly, she can provide calcium to the baby through her mother's milk, which can not only promote the growth of the baby's teeth and bones, but also prevent the baby from rickets. In addition, orange core and orange complex (white silk on petals of orange peel) can promote lactation. When the mammary duct of the lying-in woman is not unobstructed, it will not only cause hypogalactia, but also cause acute mastitis, which will affect the feeding of the baby. Eating oranges can avoid the above phenomenon.

Tips: Precautions after caesarean section
Not suitable for supine position: anesthesia disappears after operation, and the parturient feels wound pain, while the pain of uterine contraction in supine position is the most sensitive. Therefore, lateral position should be adopted, so that the body and the bed form an angle of 20-30 degrees, and the quilt or blanket should be put behind the back to reduce the auditory impact and pulling pain on the incision during physical activities.
It is not suitable to lie still: physical activity should be carried out after the recovery of consciousness after operation. After 24 hours, you should practice turning over and sitting up, getting out of bed and moving slowly. This can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, exhaust as soon as possible, and prevent intestinal adhesion and thrombosis from causing embolism in other parts.
Should not be too full: during laparotomy, the intestine is bound to be stimulated, the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract is inhibited, and the intestinal peristalsis is relatively slow. Eating too much will increase intestinal metabolites and prolong the retention time in the intestine, which will not only cause constipation, but also increase gas production and abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to physical recovery. Therefore, we should fast within 6 hours after operation, and then gradually increase our food intake.
Eat less fish: According to research, fish contains an organic acid substance, which can inhibit platelet aggregation and is not conducive to postoperative hemostasis and wound healing.
Timely defecation: after caesarean section, due to pain, the abdomen does not dare to exert force, and urine can not be excreted in time, which is easy to cause urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, postpartum women should urinate in time according to their usual habits.
Beware of colds: colds and coughs can affect wound healing, and severe coughing can even cause incision tearing. Pregnant women with colds should take medicine in time. In addition, to ensure the cleanliness of abdominal incision and perineum, do not scratch when itching, and do not scrub with unclean items.
