Is confinement disease so terrible?
Seeing this question, I remembered that some people I saw on some platforms asked, why don't foreigners have to sit on confinement, but Chinese do they have to sit on confinement? To put it this way, I don't know if foreigners can sit in confinement, but if we don't confinement, it will be really troublesome.
Confinement is actually the puerperium period, because women are relatively weak after giving birth, during this period a good rest can make the body recover faster, including uterine recovery, etc., the puerperal period is generally six weeks, that is, 42 days, and our confinement is generally only 30 days. It is often said that people say confinement disease, so what is confinement disease? The so-called confinement disease is actually a variety of discomforts that women fall on during the confinement period after childbirth, such as low back pain, headaches, etc.
Back to our topic, is confinement disease so terrible?
Looking at the situation of the women around them, if you fall into confinement during the confinement period, it is really quite scary.
Relative A: Because Bao Dad has to go to work, take care of the baby by himself for 12 days after childbirth, wash and cook, help the baby bathe, all kinds of things are done by themselves, and now the weather changes and the hands and feet hurt, which is more accurate than the weather forecast.
Friend B: Born twins, postpartum appetite is not good at all, can not eat anything, but the baby is sick during the confinement period, but also have to take the baby to see a doctor, tossed for most of the month. Now see friends walking are light and fluttering, appetite is still not good at all, eat a few bites of food can withstand a day, the face is also relatively yellow, see a lot of doctors, still in recuperation.
Talk about myself, when a child is confined, I am left with a headache, and the head cannot blow the wind, as long as it is blown, it hurts. When the second child is confined, pay attention to a little, the warm work is still done better, and the headache is better. But the baby is not easy to bring, when holding more, so also held out of their own many problems, hand soreness, hand numbness, sleep until midnight hand will be swollen to wake up, get up in the morning hand can not shake the fist, can not use chopsticks to eat a meal completely (switch to a spoon). When the baby is older, you can't hold the baby up with your wrist at all, you have to use two hands to trap the baby to hold the baby up, anyway, it feels like a pair of hands are wasted.
I believe that there are many mothers who have such an experience, because they have not recovered well after childbirth, and it is really all kinds of pain. On the contrary, those who have invited a confinement sister-in-law or a confinement center are really sleeping and eating well during the confinement, and there is nothing to do after giving birth.
Therefore, without saying anything about confinement disease or confinement disease, in fact, they are tired and cold during the confinement period.
Originally, when pregnant, I already had to pay more physically and mentally, providing food and drink for the fetus and ensuring the nutrition of the fetus. After childbirth, it is the weakest time of the problem, just time to rest, if you can't rest well at this time, then how can you recover well. Therefore, it is very reasonable to say that the confinement is sitting radiant.
So what should I pay attention to when confinement?
As a person who has come over, the lazy mother feels that during the confinement period, the mother really needs to pay more attention to it, try to make her body recover well, after all, raising a baby is a big plan, not out of the confinement to complete, there is still a long time to need the mother's efforts, raising a good body is fundamental.
First, you can be lazy and rest more
Postpartum body weakness, pregnant women need more rest, with the child is the most lacking sleep, especially when their physical strength has not yet recovered, just try to lie down, from time to time in the middle of the walk can be, do not maintain the same posture for a long time Oh, even if breastfeeding do not do this, otherwise it is easy to have waist pain, hand pain, heel pain and so on.
As for the baby and other chores, you can try not to do it. Don't have the psychology of not doing anything, you know, the baby in the confinement has to eat milk once in two hours, breastfeeding, others can't replace it, it's hard enough.
Of course, if the physical strength can keep up, it is okay to be appropriately active indoors, according to your own needs.
Second, pay attention to heat preservation
Isn't it ridiculous to think of people in the past who sat in confinement, wore thick cotton coats and hats, and wrapped their whole bodies tightly? The lazy mother felt that although the method was a bit too much, the direction was good.
During the confinement period, pregnant women should do a good job in all aspects of heat preservation, whether it is shampooing and bathing or windy and rainy days, be sure to ensure that they will not get cold. Don't wear wet clothes, it's best to wear long clothes and pants, try not to expose your skin to the air.
Of course, the room can not be closed, but also properly exchange air, but pay attention to prevent thieves from entering.
Third, we must learn to stay strong
Pregnant women learn to retain strength, not that strength can really be stored, but during the confinement period, women should not use force casually, even if they go to the toilet. Because if the woman pushes too hard, it may cause the uterus to fall off, it may also cause the wound to crack, or it may cause damage to a certain part.
During the confinement period, do not mention heavy objects, carry water, take things, these are put aside, in short, for the mother, things heavier than the baby are called heavy objects, don't mention it.
Fourth, be good to yourself in your diet
Although the body is relatively weak after childbirth, it should not be supplemented, and the diet should be paid attention to, but it can not be blindly clear soup and water, not too greasy (easy to block milk and gain weight), not too spicy and irritating (will change the quality of milk), try to be easy to digest, nutritious.
Also eat more foods rich in dietary fiber to avoid constipation during confinement. In addition to the above, during confinement, the mother should also maintain the cleanliness and hygiene that should be maintained.
In general, confinement disease is still relatively terrible, and the elderly say that confinement disease can only be treated during confinement, otherwise it is easy to follow a lifetime. That during the confinement period, the mother should pay more attention to her body and recover well in order to continue the baby's battle of wits and courage.
