Women's childbirth is like walking through hell. Therefore, after pregnant women give birth, they must recuperate themselves by confinement, but confinement actually has many stresses and taboos. Let's take a look at the taboos that women need to pay attention to
Avoid blowing and catching cold
You can't blow during confinement because postpartum Qi and blood are weak, muscles and bones are loose, and wind cold and dampness evil is easy to take advantage of the deficiency, causing colds, rheumatism, joint pain, diarrhea and other diseases. If the indoor temperature is too high, parturients can use the air conditioner appropriately. The room temperature is generally 25-28 ℃, but it should be noted that the air of the air conditioner can not directly blow to parturients. Maternity should wear long sleeved clothes and trousers, preferably a pair of thin socks. Pregnant women should not touch cold water during confinement to prevent cold or pain.
avoid cold and uncooked food
From a medical point of view, due to the labor consumption of a large amount of physical strength, the hormone level in the body decreases greatly after delivery. The delivery of newborns and placenta reduces the metabolism of pregnant women, and most of their physique ranges from internal heat to deficiency cold. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine advocates that postpartum should be warm, and too cold food should not be eaten more. Such as cold drinks, cold dishes, cold dishes, etc. the fruits and dishes taken out from the refrigerator should be warm before eating. Some cold fruits, such as watermelon and pear, should not be eaten more. For some people with weak spleen and stomach, they may cause diarrhea.
Avoid rooming
No rooming during confinement. If lochia is not clean or within 42 days after delivery, sexual life should be absolutely prohibited because the wound in the uterus has not been completely repaired. If you forget the 'martial law' for a moment of joy, it is easy to cause puerperal infection, and even chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and other adverse consequences.
Avoid spicy, warm and dry food
Avoid spicy, warm and dry food during confinement. Because this kind of food can help internal heat and increase the deficiency fire of pregnant women, there may be symptoms such as sore mouth, constipation or hemorrhoids, or aggravate the internal heat of infants through milk. Therefore, the diet should be light, especially within 5 ~ 7 days after delivery, soft rice and egg soup should be the main, and do not eat too greasy and spicy foods, such as special garlic, pepper, pepper, fennel Wine, leek and other spicy and warm dry food and spices.
Avoid tonic
Confinement avoid tonic. Tonic is not only easy to make pregnant women fat, but also harmful to the body. Don't rush to take tonic in the first two weeks after delivery, because if you don't master it well, it is easy to accumulate metabolic products in the maternal body, which is not conducive to the discharge of postpartum congestion and increase the probability of malignant transformation in the body. Longan, Astragalus membranaceus, ginseng, dangshen, angelica and other traditional Chinese medicines for tonifying blood and Qi can also be boiled into the soup, but it is best to wait until postpartum lochia is discharged or the color is no longer bright red before eating, otherwise it may cause blood circulation and increase postpartum hemorrhage, commonly known as tonifying injury.
Avoid rushing to drink milk accelerating soup
Many elders believe that drinking more soup can supplement the lost water in the maternal body and quickly increase the secretion of milk. But experts say that the premise of milk production is that all breast tubes are unblocked, and the secreted milk will not be blocked, causing breast swelling and pain. Experts suggest: don't rush to drink breast stimulating soup after delivery. First let the baby suck the mother's breast, let all the breast tubes be unblocked, and then carry out soup subsidies. Remember not to drink too much greasy Soup for the pregnant woman, which will continuously increase the fat content of the pregnant woman's body and have a certain impact on the baby.
Avoid long-term bed rest
If you stay in bed for a long time without * exercise, you will not only lose weight quickly, but also leave behind symptoms such as retention of urine, postpartum constipation, lower limb venous thrombosis, postpartum urinary incontinence, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine prolapse and so on. Mothers who give birth naturally can sit up within 24 hours after delivery and simply move their muscles and bones. Proper exercise is conducive to uterine involution and the discharge of postpartum lochia, and prevent rectus abdominis fissure and sexual organ prolapse. For the mothers of cesarean section, they can get out of bed to do slight activities on the third day after operation, gradually increase the amount of activities every day, and start postpartum gymnastics 7-10 days after delivery.
