Cesarean section refers to the incision of the uterus through the abdominal wall to take out the baby. Compared with normal delivery, caesarean section has undergone obvious changes in the maternal body: the uterus was injured, which affected the normal contraction of the uterus; Blood loss during operation reduces the content of oxytocin in blood, which affects the involution of uterus; Fasting after operation, less physical activity, delayed uterine entry and prolonged lochia duration; Intraoperative trauma, mental fatigue of parturient, insufficient prolactin secretion from pituitary gland, affecting normal milk secretion, etc. It can be seen that it is necessary to strengthen nursing after caesarean section to ensure the safety of mother and baby. 1, not suitable for recumbent position: after the operation, the anesthetic effect disappears, and the parturient's wound feels pain, while the pain of uterine contraction in recumbent position is sensitive, so you should take a lateral position, so that the body and bed form an angle of 20-30 degrees, and you can put a quilt or blanket behind your back to reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the incision when the body moves. 2. It is not advisable to lie still: after the postoperative recovery of consciousness, you should carry out physical activities. After 24 hours, you should practice turning over and sitting up, and get out of bed slowly, which can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, exhaust as soon as possible, and prevent intestinal adhesion and thrombosis from causing embolism in other parts. 3, should not be too full: during laparotomy, the intestine will inevitably be stimulated, the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract will be inhibited, and the intestinal peristalsis will be relatively slow. If you eat more, it will increase the 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 rehabilitation. Therefore, you should fast within 6 hours after operation, and then gradually increase your food intake. 4, eat less fish: According to research, fish contains an organic acid substance, which has the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation, which is not conducive to hemostasis after surgery and wound healing. 5, timely defecation: after caesarean section, due to pain, the abdomen does not dare to exert force, and the urine can not be excreted in time, which is easy to cause urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, the postpartum women should urinate and defecate in time according to their usual habits. 6, to prevent colds: colds and coughs can affect wound healing, and severe cough can even cause incision tearing. Pregnant women who have caught a cold should take medicine in time. In addition, make sure the abdominal incision and perineum are clean, don't scratch when itchy, and don't scrub with unclean items.
