Every mother will spend too much physical strength during childbirth, and confinement after childbirth is also a process of recuperation. Old people at home will inevitably tell their mothers about the experiences of people they have been to, such as lying still. So, how long are you going to lie in the confinement?
After giving birth, every woman should pay attention to the maintenance for the next month to avoid getting sick. But at the beginning of confinement, it is recommended to stay in bed for 24 hours. Generally, if you have a natural delivery, you can get out of bed and walk around after 24 hours if your body permits, which is also helpful for uterine recovery and lochia discharge. If it is laparotomy, stay in bed for three days as much as possible, which is beneficial to the recovery of the wound, and then get out of bed and walk around properly.
Doctors also don't recommend lying all the time during confinement. Whether it is a natural delivery or caesarean section, get out of bed as soon as possible to help lochia excrete and prevent venous embolism of lower limbs. The time to get up depends on the physical condition of the postpartum mother, as long as it is not too tired.
Postpartum, women who have been in bed rest, lochia outflow is not smooth, which will lead to slow recovery of uterus, lead to chronic inflammation of women, and even uterine prolapse. It is very unfavorable for postpartum mother's physical recovery.
