I felt uterine contraction pain at home that afternoon when I was 40.2 years old. It was very mild, every ten minutes to every five minutes. At this time, I had been having regular contractions for almost 5 hours, but the pain was less than usual. My aunt was in a little pain because she didn't see any redness and her water didn't break. In order not to go to the hospital and be rushed back, I kept enduring it, but my husband still couldn't bear it and said that he should go to the hospital. Even if he didn't open the finger and have a look, he would be relieved. I went to a maternal and child emergency department at around 9pm. The doctor said I would need to be hospitalized for a fingertip test. He also said that my cervix was in good condition and I should be able to give birth tomorrow morning.

As soon as I entered the ward (you must choose a single ward, the attitude of the nurses and the environment are really good), I felt severe pain not long after. Every contraction made me cry out in pain, and the doctor called I don't want to scream, I can't control myself at all, I keep exerting myself. At this time, the internal examination only opened one finger, and I immediately said that it would be painless because I was about to die. The nurse said that it would be painless to open the wound to two fingers. I said that I would have to do it, but the nurse said that there was no doctor to do it for you in the middle of the night. I persisted in pain for another half an hour, and the internal examination was almost two fingers in length, but there were still 5 people queuing in front of the painless anesthetist and we had to wait. ? At this time, I would like to thank my family for immediately finding someone to send me to the delivery room and jumping in line to give me a painless injection. From hell to heaven immediately. After the pain-free injection, it really didn’t hurt at all. It was already 2 o’clock in the middle of the night. I slept happily until 6 o’clock in the morning. The internal examination still showed two fingers. The doctor said that my cervix was swollen and I used too much force when opening the fingers in the early stage. , the amniotic water also broke at this time, and I was told that oxytocin could not be administered if I waited any longer. I still felt no pain at this time, and I was still taking selfies and videos with my family in the delivery room.

Am I still too stupid and naive? At 9 o'clock, the internal examination was still two fingers. The doctor said that I would be given oxytocin to finish giving birth today. Unexpectedly, when the oxytocin was administered, I was in so much pain that I couldn't take care of myself at all. The pain effect has no effect at all. The feeling of incontinence. At this time, the internal examination is still 2 fingers, but I have a fever! 38.6 The cervix is ??swollen and inflamed, and the baby’s head is already very low, which may affect the baby. The doctor asked me whether I should insist on vaginal delivery or planation? I immediately said: Go, go, go, go! immediately! In this way, I started to prepare for the caesarean section. I felt the whole process of caesarean section. There was no pain, but a strong pulling sensation. I could feel the knife cutting my body. It was the most uncomfortable and painful thing. The pain was so painful that one person pressed my stomach and another person took the baby out. The stomach suddenly felt empty, and I heard the baby's cry.

The doctor said it was a boy and he held him over to confirm. Then there were stitches. The most uncomfortable thing after a caesarean section is the pressure on your belly, contractions, and getting out of bed the next day. But I think it is nothing compared to the pain of a normal birth. It’s just a big loss of energy. If you need to recover well, I will write about my experience in giving birth. Go here. Here are some things to note during confinement:

1. Insist on fluid replenishment to prevent blood condensation to form thrombosis

Pregnant women consume more, eat less, and their blood is concentrated. In addition, blood is hypercoagulable during pregnancy. It is easy to form thrombus, induce pulmonary embolism, and lead to sudden death. Therefore, intravenous fluids are often given within three days after surgery to replenish water and correct dehydration. Six hours after surgery, you can eat liquid foods such as stewed eggs, egg drop soup, lotus root starch, etc. You can eat porridge, crucian carp soup and other semi-liquid foods on the second day after surgery. Regarding urination: Generally, the urinary catheter is pulled out after 24 hours. After the urinary catheter is pulled out, you need to drink some water, but don’t drink too much. When the bladder feels some, you need to urinate. In addition, you will feel a little when you urinate for the first time, because the urethra is inserted into the urethra and taken out, which will cause some discomfort. The first time, you must endure it with gritted teeth. From now on, you should drink more water and flush the urethra. effect. Generally, the indwelling urinary catheter can be removed after the rehydration is completed on the second day after the operation. Urination should be done in a timely manner 3 to 4 hours after removal. If you can't urinate while lying in bed, you should get up and go to the toilet. If that doesn't work, tell your doctor until you can urinate unobstructed.

2. Turn over more often and exercise as early as possible after delivery

Due to the stimulation of the intestines caused by caesarean section and the influence of anesthetics, mothers will have varying degrees of intestinal flatulence after delivery. You will feel bloated.

If you do more turning movements, the peristalsis function of paralyzed intestinal muscles will recover faster, and the gas in the intestines will be discharged as soon as possible, which can relieve abdominal distension. After the postoperative sensation is restored, you should perform physical exercises. After 24 hours, you should practice turning over, sitting up, and getting out of bed to exercise slowly. If conditions permit, you should also take a walk. Exercise can promote blood circulation and make wound healing faster. It can also strengthen gastrointestinal motility, expel gas as early as possible, and prevent intestinal adhesion and thrombosis that may cause embolism in other parts of the body.

3. Avoid wound infection. Because the wound during cesarean section is relatively large, special care must be taken in postpartum care. Don't think that the wound will basically recover after you leave the hospital. The superficial skin wound may have healed, but it will take five or six weeks to fully recover.

1. You should turn over frequently after surgery: Anesthetic drugs can inhibit intestinal peristalsis and cause varying degrees of flatulence, resulting in abdominal distension. Therefore, it is advisable to do more turning movements after childbirth. 2. It is not advisable to lie on your back: The pain of uterine contraction is most sensitive when you are lying on your back, and it is also easy for lochia to be difficult to discharge. However, if you adopt a semi-recumbent position and turn over frequently, it will promote the discharge of lochia and prevent lochia stasis from accumulating in the uterus. Infection caused in the cavity affects uterine reset and is also beneficial to the healing of uterine incision. 3. Get out of bed as soon as possible: Walking on the ground can not only promote blood circulation and make wounds heal faster, but also avoid some postoperative problems and help prevent complications such as blood clots. 24 hours after the operation, mommy can get out of bed and move slowly, gradually increasing the amount of activity. 4. Pay attention to urination: drink more water and urinate once every 3 to 4 hours. Reduce the risk of urinary tract bacterial infection and constipation caused by keeping the urinary catheter for too long. 5. Keep the private parts and abdominal incision clean: Within 2 weeks after the operation, avoid getting the abdominal incision wet. Wipe bathing should be used to clean the whole body. Bathing in the bath must be prohibited before the lochia is removed.

6. Avoid exerting force on the abdomen: before coughing, laughing, or getting out of bed, fix the wound with your hands and a corset. When getting out of bed, lie on your side first, use your hands to support your body when getting up, and avoid sitting up directly with your abdominal strength. Postpartum cough and vomiting should be treated promptly to avoid increased abdominal pressure and wound tension, and pressure should be applied on both sides of the wound to prevent sutures from breaking and the wound from dehiscing. Two reminders to help with the recovery of cesarean section wounds: keep the body clean, change underwear frequently, bathe frequently, pay special attention to perineal cleanliness, wash at least once in the morning and evening every day, and replace sanitary napkins in time.

4. Postpartum diet

Excessive nutrition or "large supplementation" will only cause weight gain. Too many supplements will not only be unable to bear the mother's body, but will also cause fat accumulation. , which will have an impact on wound recovery. Pay attention to nutrition and diversify your diet after delivery. 1. You should fast within 6 hours after the operation. If the mother feels dry in the mouth and cannot drink water, she can use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to wipe the chapped lips. 2. Eat liquid food 6 hours after surgery. After gastrointestinal function recovers, you can drink egg soup, rice soup, radish soup, vegetable soup, etc. Avoid milk, soy milk, large amounts of sucrose and other flatulent foods.

3. After the intestinal gas is cleared, you can eat thin, soft, and rotten semi-liquid food 4 to 5 times a day to ensure adequate nutrition. 4. Rice can be eaten after defecation. Pay attention to a light diet, and pay attention to supplementing high-quality protein, various vitamins and minerals every day. 5. Increase protein food within one week after delivery to promote wound healing as soon as possible. 6. Eat more crude fiber foods, and eat more vitamin-rich foods such as fruits, eggs, lean meats, and meat skins, which can improve the metabolic function of the epidermis, which is beneficial to wound repair and prevents scar itching.

5. Breastfeeding after caesarean section Many women believe that the anesthetics used during caesarean section resection and suture surgery will affect their milk supply, so they will wait a few days before starting to breastfeed after giving birth to their baby. In fact, this approach is wrong, because half an hour after the baby is born is the time when the baby's sucking ability is strongest, and it is also the best time for the baby to suck milk, and colostrum contains the richest immunoglobulins. Mothers who have had a cesarean section can let their babies suck milk within half an hour without worrying too much about the anesthetic used in the sutures to affect their milk supply. The anesthetic used during cesarean section will not affect the breasts, and the dosage will not reach a level that affects breast milk.

By the time the mother woke up, the anesthetic had almost been metabolized. Therefore, you can breastfeed immediately after a cesarean section within half an hour. And the intravenous drip after cesarean section has no effect on breast milk. Mothers who have a caesarean section face two major problems. One is that the wound from their delivery has not healed and they have to take care of the wound. The other is that they have to breastfeed. How can mothers who have had a caesarean section do these two things well? 1. Mothers who have had a caesarean section should choose to feed while lying on their side or in a football-like holding position to prevent the baby's body from pressing on the surgical incision.

2. If a mother who has had a caesarean section wants to sit and breastfeed, it is best to sit in a straight-backed armchair instead of a hospital bed. This is good for the abdominal muscles. Remember to place a few pillows around you to support your baby's body, and at the same time protect your own wounds to avoid lacerations. 3. When the nurse teaches you the correct posture for breastfeeding, your father must learn beside you, because after discharge, it is inconvenient for you to bend your body to see if the baby is latching correctly. If not, the father needs to press the baby's chin and turn his lips. . 4. Pain will affect milk secretion and even inhibit milk secretion. Medications used to treat pain after a caesarean section are generally safe, rarely pass into breast milk, and can be used by moms. 5. Mothers who have had a caesarean section should breastfeed more frequently. Mothers who have had a caesarean section will secrete breast milk later than mothers who have had a vaginal delivery. Frequent feeding will allow milk to be secreted faster to meet the baby's needs. 6. Mothers who have had a caesarean section cannot breastfeed for one or two days after delivery due to some reasons. It is best to use a cup or finger with a syringe to feed the baby formula milk. Never use a bottle, which can easily cause nipple confusion.

6. Postpartum bathing. How long to take a bath after a caesarean section depends on the mother’s wound and physical recovery. Taking a bath is mainly to avoid infection due to water on the incision. Generally, new mothers can take a bath 15 days after a caesarean section. If they recover well, You can take a shower after a few weeks, and just put a waterproof band-aid on the incision to prevent it from getting wet.

1. Bathing method: Patients who have had a caesarean section should wait until their physical strength has recovered and the wound has healed before taking a shower. Generally, they can take a shower first. 2. Room temperature and water temperature: Pay attention to "protect against cold in winter, heatstroke in summer, and wind in spring and autumn." It’s 36-38 degrees in winter and about 37 degrees in summer. Don't be greedy for coolness in summer, and don't be too hot in winter. 3. You should not sweat profusely when taking a bath. You should dry your body and hair in time after taking a bath. It is best to wrap your hair in a dry towel. Even if you feel hot all over your body after bathing, you should not be exposed to air vents or turn on the air conditioner. 4. If your hair is not dry after taking a bath, do not braid it or sleep with wet hair. 5. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after being hungry or full. If you feel hungry after taking a shower, eat something.

7. Postpartum belly management Many mothers believe that the belly will recover naturally after delivery. If you think so, you are wrong. After giving birth, the belly becomes empty all of a sudden, uterine ptosis will occur, the belly will look bulging, and the buttocks will look bigger. It is a very important time to use the opportunity of childbirth to adjust the body shape at this time, so many people will use restraints and suits during this period to achieve the purpose of adjusting the body shape!

My friend recommended it to me. After buying this suit, the first thing I felt when wearing it was that it didn't tighten. I could hold on even if it didn't tighten, and my big belly was tucked away when I put it on. If your big belly is often tightened after childbirth, it will gradually become smaller and the skin will become firmer. I have put away my excess flesh, and the most important thing is to keep wearing it! Another good thing about it is that it doesn’t curl up. I used to have so much fat in my belly that my belly wouldn’t get knotty when I sit there. I can just stand and sit wherever I want. This is what I prefer. Now after wearing it for a period of time, my stomach is almost flat, I have lost 15 pounds, and my figure is almost back to before!

8. It is not advisable to settle in the house too early. After the marriage, the new mother needs to be confined for one month. During this period, the new mother cannot have sexual relations with her husband. Because new mothers will have symptoms of lochia after delivery and are relatively weak, if they have sex rashly, it will only aggravate the condition, lead to increased postoperative wounds, and cause endometritis, vaginitis, etc. Mothers who had a caesarean section are advised to wait 3 months after delivery before having intercourse. The reason is that the wound has not healed completely and needs to wait until it heals, otherwise the wound may bleed easily.

Let me summarize a few points based on my own experience. I hope it can help mothers passing by.

1. Proper walking can indeed help the body recover. At that time, I was always afraid that the wound would collapse. I basically didn’t get out of bed for a month. After a month, I felt that my calf muscles were about to atrophy.

2. It is best to lie down when feeding a child, so as not to be tired. The position of the incision is very awkward, so be careful with the child's feet.

3. The fat you feel after a caesarean section is basically edema. After the edema disappears, you will lose some weight. Reasonable food with more soup, more vegetables, less staple food, plus breastfeeding will naturally make you lose weight.

4. Regardless of whether it is normal or caesarean, it is best not to squat during the postpartum period and for a long time. It is not conducive to recovery and may cause organ sagging. Do not wear tight waist underwear. , causing great pressure on the abdominal cavity.

5. Insist on anal contraction exercises, compound breathing, and restore the rectus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles.

6. Don’t wait for the wind, and rather hold on for a longer time, because the bone seams are not completely closed during delivery, so as to prevent the root of the disease from being burned in the future

7. Don’t lift heavy objects. , try to hold the baby as little as possible

Now that I have thought of all the above, I hope it helps

Precautions for postpartum confinement after caesarean section:

1. Return to the ward after the operation, Lie on your back for 6 hours with your head turned to one side. Although the nurses in these hospitals will tell you, this must be followed. I lay there for 2 hours. I was really sad. I couldn't lie flat without a pillow. I felt like my head was low and my feet were high. I wanted to raise my head, but I had to ask my husband to shake the bed higher, and I immediately vomited. After vomiting, I had no strength at all and fell asleep in a daze.

2. Never drink soup that contains milk after ventilation, please remember. Breast augmentation lasts about 72 hours during the menstrual period. If you eat a lot of soup that induces lactation, you will feel guilty. Breast augmentation is more painful than giving birth.

Share your experience of blood and tears. The most important first thing is to maintain a happy mood and don't take things personally that you don't like or dislike. It will be good for you and your baby. Moreover, this is not only necessary during the confinement period, but also in the next few months, otherwise it will seriously affect the quality of feeding and thus affect the growth of the baby.

Having just given birth to a baby, the mother’s hormones are still very strong. It is easy for me to see everything that is unpleasant to my eyes, and I feel uncomfortable hearing every word that others say. Anyway, that’s how I am. Whether it's the mother-in-law, the mother, the confinement nanny, or the husband, everyone can find fault with them. Maybe it's because they care too much about the baby, and they always feel that others don't take good care of them. The only consequence of thinking this way is that you feel depressed, which may lead to lactation blockage or postpartum depression.

As for the wound, I am quite sensitive to pain. I didn’t dare to look at the wound for several days after I got home because it felt like a big patch. After a few days, I mustered up the courage to take a look and found that it was not as scary as I thought. The wound will hurt during breastfeeding, which is a normal phenomenon of uterine contraction. Just disinfect the wound according to the doctor's instructions.

Regarding lochia, the time to eliminate lochia is uncertain. I still had it when I was more than 70 days after delivery. I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that after 80 days, a small amount is considered normal. If the amount is large, a color ultrasound examination is required. .

Regarding food, during the confinement period, everything is done for the sake of feeding the baby. It may be due to my personal constitution. I dare not drink soup that is too oily. Fish soup is particularly good at releasing milk. I am afraid of milk blockage, so I only drink one or two. Back. Ordinary rice soup, vegetable soup, and drinking water can produce milk. This varies from person to person.

Regarding washing your hair and bathing, you are particularly prone to sweating after giving birth. For several days, you would almost go to bed covered in sweat and your hair would be soaked. If you are afraid of catching a cold and insist on not washing your hair or taking a shower, there is actually no problem. Just dry it in time and avoid catching a cold.

Regarding babysitting, during the confinement period, I saw that the baby was cute and wanted to be hugged. As a result, I hugged the baby whenever she cried. I did not develop good habits for the baby and was very tired. In fact, it is not necessary. The baby is in the confinement period. The main thing here is eating and sleeping.

In short, the main thing during confinement is to rest, avoid fatigue, play less mobile phones, sleep more, eat more, and be happy to recover well.

Nine taboos and four tips you should know after caesarean section! Not only will you recover faster, but you will also suffer less! I worked hard to control my weight and exercise throughout my pregnancy for a natural delivery. As a result, the amniotic fluid broke and the fetus suffered from intrauterine hypoxia and I had to have a caesarean section. Fortunately, the baby was healthy and the suffering was worth it. I will share my precautions for caesarean section and postpartum confinement. !

My experience: I was very active on the first day after the autopsy. I was so hungry that I was so fast that I was in a panic. At that time, I had an analgesic pump and the incision didn’t hurt.

As a result, the urinary catheter was removed the next day, and I had to move out of bed to avoid adhesions. As a result, it hurt so much that I couldn't get out of bed, and I couldn't bear to hold in my urine anymore. I gritted my teeth and used the bedpan, which was much better. It took a lot of effort to get up. After finally standing up, I felt like my internal organs were falling out. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. I started to doubt my life. Taking a step forward felt like I was stepping on the tip of a needle. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I lay back down again. It was much better after I got out of bed after half a day.

On the third day, the pain was unbearable and I cried all day long. Finally, I was given analgesia and I was able to get out of bed and move around. Still not allowed to eat, I feel hungry.

On the fourth day, I could basically bear it. I could get out of bed, walk, eat, and drink rice porridge. Was discharged from hospital on the fifth day.

I had endless lochia. After delivery, the medical staff should take turns pressing my belly to remove the lochia. But at that time, only my family members were the ones to help me. Their movements were irregular and they were afraid of pain and did not dare to exert force. The uterine contractions were not good and the lochia was discharged for 100 days. . At that time, I didn’t know the importance of belly massage. After giving birth, I would have professionals massage my belly vigorously every day!

During confinement, my mother-in-law washed my wounds with warm water every day. Later, I felt embarrassed and secretly washed my wounds with warm water from the shower. As a result, I got infected and had to go to the hospital in the winter more than ten days after delivery.

Don’t play too much on your mobile phone. I got neuralgia in my wrist from playing too much, and my myopia also got a lot worse.

The sutured beauty sutures are not absorbed and must be removed. For personal physical problems, just pay a little attention when rinsing.

To treat lactation blockage, don’t go to a private doctor. Go to a breast department, which is not only professional but can also be reimbursed. There is no need to eliminate residual milk, it is just a commercial gimmick.

If you have the same experience as me, remember to follow the following nine taboos and four tips so that you can recover quickly!

The first taboo is to refuse to press the belly

Pressing the belly is very painful and the lower body will bleed a lot, which helps the discharge of lochia

The second taboo is to blow the air

If the body is weak and the wind blows the cold, do not blow through the hall, but the room should be properly ventilated

Lying flat for a long time may cause bedsores on the buttocks

Four avoid eating too much

Because the wound is in the abdomen, be careful not to overeat and over-bloat, which will increase abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to wound healing, and you should not eat fish or seafood

Five avoidances that do not tighten the abdomen

Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, postpartum abdominal tightening is very important! It is recommended to choose an easy to put on and take off abdominal tightening belt, so that it is more convenient to go to the toilet, and can also be worn for sleeping and breastfeeding. Abdominal belts can not only help us restore our body shape, but also promote the elimination of lochia, lift the buttocks, tighten the hips, and prevent visceral sagging.

Six taboos: laughing, coughing, and vomiting

Pay special attention to this point. The wound on the belly is no different from the hands, feet, and limbs. Laughing, coughing, and vomiting will pull and cause tearing.

Seven taboos to avoid eating without flatulence after delivery

Do not drink tonic soup for one week after the operation, and the diet should be light and easy to digest

Eight taboos to avoid touching cold water

Whether you are washing your hands, face, or private parts on a daily basis, remember to use warm water.

Nine taboos: taking a bath without scabbing on the wound

Not only is it easy to get infected, but it is also easy to get postpartum syndrome.

One should lie on the side

Lying on the side can reduce the pain of the abdominal wound and also allow the uterine wound to recover faster. The best position after caesarean section is to lie on the side.

Second, it is advisable to move

Although there are wounds on the body, do not move still. Move your limbs appropriately, which can also promote gastrointestinal motility and expel gas as soon as possible, but be gentle!

Sanyi should defecate in time

Postpartum, you need to defecate in time, otherwise it will lead to constipation or urinary retention.

Four tips to prevent colds

Postpartum mothers are relatively weak, so they must keep warm after delivery.

1. Hemorrhoid cushion, a must-have for normal childbirth! I really rely on it in the first week or two when the wound is not healed

2. Nursing vest, not a bra, but similar to a camisole , you won’t catch a cold while breastfeeding in winter. When the weather warms up, it is better to use a nursing bra when the milk supply is stable. It has support and does not sag (it is uncomfortable to wear a nursing bra when breastfeeding is very frequent at the beginning)

Breast warmers and sterilizers, personally I don’t think they are big. practical. The fastest way to warm milk is to pour hot water into a large bowl and warm it over water. Glass bottles heat up quickly. Disinfect the health pot, throw it all in, use an egg steamer to separate the bottom, pour a little water, and set the hot pot setting for 3 minutes.

The silicone breast collector is efficient and time-saving. When pumping, it can collect the milk from the other side faster than using a breast pump! However, it is painful to suck, so don’t use it frequently.

My wife had a caesarean section. Compared with taking care of a vaginal delivery, a caesarean section mother does need some special care. So what are the precautions for taking care of a caesarean section mother? 1. The difference between caesarean section and natural delivery and confinement:

1. The length of time for wound recovery is different

Natural delivery is the least harmful method of delivery to the mother. After giving birth to the baby, You can walk on the ground the next day. My wife was discharged from the hospital one week after having a caesarean section.

2. Different care methods:

After caesarean section, coughing, sneezing and other actions may cause the mother to feel pain, and she is not allowed to take a bath after delivery, at least You can only shower after the wound has healed.

Natural delivery is relatively easy. Doctors will advise mothers to move more, and there are relatively fewer taboos during confinement.

3. The recovery speed is different:

You can urinate 6 hours after natural delivery. You can walk on the ground the next day. Women who have had a caesarean section should eat more liquid food during confinement, and the food should be rich in nutrients. 2. Precautions for caesarean section and confinement:

1. Keep the incision of caesarean section dry and clean

2. Ensure that the private parts are dry and clean to avoid infection

3. Dress loosely. Pregnant women should choose a larger size of lace-up underwear or boxer underwear.

4. Can do moderate exercise. 6-8 weeks after surgery, you can start doing some moderate exercise activities, but you must get approval from your doctor before doing so.

5. Add plenty of water. Women who have had a caesarean section should drink plenty of water during confinement. This not only prevents constipation but also facilitates breastfeeding.

6. Relax your mind: After returning home from the hospital, don’t expect to return to normal immediately. After a caesarean section, it may take about 6 months for the body to fully recover. 3. Confinement recipes for caesarean section:

1. Appetizer-oriented first week after delivery: Say no to greasy food and have a refreshing taste

2. In the second week after delivery when blood replenishment is important: Eat more blood-enriching foods and supplement vitamins

3. Half a month after delivery when promoting lactation: Do not give up soup when it is a good time to promote lactation 4. Month of caesarean section How long should you sit in confinement:

Generally speaking, the recovery after caesarean section is relatively slow. It is better to stay in confinement for at least 45 days. You need to supplement your nutrition at ordinary times and the wound should not sweat. It is best to wait for 40 days. Start activities again later, which will help your body recover, especially if you can't do heavy work.

5. Can you wash your hair after caesarean section and confinement?

It is possible to wash your hair after caesarean section and confinement, but you should pay attention to the following points:

1. You can take a shower after a week. But no bathtub. Be careful not to get water on the wound.

2. The water temperature should be around 40-45, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the bathroom should not be too large to avoid catching a cold.

3. After bathing, dry your hair and body with a dry towel and keep warm.

Generally speaking, confinement after caesarean section is more troublesome than vaginal delivery. It is recommended to use scientific confinement. Don’t be too superstitious about some traditional confinement methods for the elderly, such as not letting the baby get wet at all and not letting it breathe. This is detrimental to the health of the mother and baby.

Based on my personal experience, you need to pay attention to the following points during the confinement period after a caesarean section:

①Recover lower body sensation

Because caesarean section requires anesthesia, Therefore, after coming out of the operating room, the mother's family members need to help the mother massage her legs, and the mother herself must also work hard to move her toes. Can speed up the metabolism of anesthetics.

② Start breastfeeding as soon as possible to prevent fever

Mothers need to pay attention to letting the baby suck the nipple as soon as possible and start breastfeeding early. Otherwise, breast swelling may cause fever, which may affect the healing of the laparotomy wound.

After my first caesarean section, I successfully started breastfeeding during the day on the third day. After my second baby’s caesarean section, I successfully started breastfeeding on the second day. Both times, I had a low fever due to breast enlargement. The doctor kept telling me to pay attention to my body temperature. If the fever exceeds 38 degrees, I may need to take medication.

In the middle of the night on the third day of my second pregnancy, I suddenly felt chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and my body temperature reached 38 degrees. The nurse on duty told me to sleep on my side, gave me oxygen, and asked my husband to help me with physical cooling first. Within ten minutes, I felt that my chest tightness had eased a lot. After about an hour, the temperature had dropped when I checked again.

③ Get up and walk around as soon as possible to promote intestinal peristalsis, exhaust and urination. You can eat bananas to moisturize your intestines.

④ Eat mainly light meals in the previous week. Then add nutrients. Like us, during the confinement period, we will be careful not to eat fishy food, such as shrimp, crab, beef, etc.

⑤ Pay attention to the hygiene of laparotomy wounds and private parts. The wound should be kept dry. Private parts need to be disinfected daily. Observe the amount of lochia.

⑥Be careful during the confinement period and get as much rest as possible. Get a good rest to promote wound healing.

During confinement, you should pay attention to rest, appropriate activities, regular and nutritious diet, and actively adjust your mentality.

Confinement is a common name among the people, and it is called the puerperium in medicine. It refers to the period from the delivery of the placenta to the recovery of the mother's body organs except the breast to a normal non-pregnant state. It is usually 42 days. . This period is a critical period for maternal physical and psychological recovery. The following should be noted.

(1) Rest and activities. Mothers who have given birth naturally can get up and move around slightly within 6 to 12 hours after delivery. They can move around freely indoors on the second day after delivery. At the same time, try to avoid wind and cold and pay attention to keeping warm.

(2) Diet and nutrition. The mother can eat liquid food or a light semi-liquid diet 1 hour after delivery, and then can eat a normal diet. Food should be nutritious and contain sufficient calories.

For mothers who have started to have back pain, the best way is to start changing. I will teach you these life tips.

Correct breastfeeding method:

When sitting or standing, keep your body upright without leaning forward or backward. If you feel tired, you can lean on a pillow behind your waist.

Maintain correct breastfeeding posture

1. Lie down and do not move

After a cesarean section, when the anesthesia wears off, the wound will begin to hurt. At this time, many mothers will choose to lie on their backs, fearing that any movement will cause pain to the wound. In fact, mothers who have just undergone surgery should choose to lie on their sides, which can reduce the pain caused by the wound after surgery. In fact, doctors recommend that you get up and walk around 24 hours after a caesarean section. Be able to relax yourself.

2. Not having a bowel movement without turning over

Many postpartum women are reluctant to get up and walk around due to the pain in the wound as the anesthesia gradually wears off after the operation. As a result, they do not dare to get up and defecate. If they do not defecate for a long time, they may It will cause urine and feces to be retained in the mother's body. This can cause some health problems. Therefore, pregnant mothers must go to the toilet after giving birth and should not give up just because of pain.

3. Blowing cold wind

Many pregnant mothers give birth in summer, but the hot temperature always makes people feel suffocated. In addition, the baby is still young and cannot be groomed properly during the confinement period. My body is always sticky and I always want to turn on the air conditioner to cool down. Can I do whatever I want after my confinement? That's a big mistake. Depending on your physical fitness, you can only blow cold wind like a normal person until your body has fully recovered.

4. Physical work

It is said that it takes a hundred days to strain your muscles and bones, but giving birth to a child is no less than straining your muscles and bones. Moms, don’t be in a hurry to start working, especially manual labor. It should be done in moderation, and don’t do any particularly heavy work during the recovery period. It is easy to get confinement syndrome that will last a lifetime. Such as joint pain, back pain, etc.

Physical recovery is something that cannot be rushed. The degree of recovery varies depending on your own situation. Don't be rash after confinement. It's easy to make these mistakes. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it for your own good.

Congratulations on becoming a mother. Wish you peace and health. Cesarean section is also a minor operation. Traditional Chinese medicine says that caesarean section can easily lead to loss of vitality, resulting in poor facial complexion and yellowing of the skin in the later stages, affecting beauty.

Therefore, I personally feel that you need to pay attention to the following five points during caesarean section:

The first point: follow the doctor’s advice after delivery. After the prescribed fasting time, eat liquid food first, and you can drink A little radish soup to ventilate. Drink some brown sugar water appropriately to replenish blood and nourish the stomach. Generally speaking, eat a light diet, eat something easy to digest, and don’t eat cold things.

Second: Follow your doctor’s advice. Exercise appropriately to help the lochia in the body be discharged in time. Don't be afraid of pain. After all, it will help your body recover. Just get over it and you'll be fine.

Third: When it is inconvenient to hold the baby, just say it and ask your family to help take care of it. Don't be brave, otherwise the wound will collapse and the healing will be too slow.

Fourth: Get a good rest. Don't catch a cold. If you feel uncomfortable or abnormal, tell the doctor as soon as possible and the doctor will give you a comprehensive treatment plan.

Fifth: You are not allowed to have sex within 120 days. This is an iron rule and must not be broken.

At this moment, the uterus is still recovering itself, and having sex hastily can lead to serious infection, which can be life-threatening. Everyone must pay attention.

I wish all mothers in the world to be healthy and happy, and I wish all their babies to grow up strong.
