Caesarean section "pressed stomach", pain! But there are three major benefits:

1. It is conducive to uterine retraction

During pregnancy, the uterus will be enlarged little by little, and even after giving birth, it cannot immediately retract to its original size, and it takes a while to recover. Women who haven't had children think their bellies will retract all at once after childbirth, but they don't. Many women have a stomach that looks like they are pregnant for several months after giving birth, and they have to retract it a little bit.

Although it is very painful and guilty to press the mother's stomach at this time, it can stimulate the faster retraction of the uterus, which is conducive to the recovery of the uterus, which shows that this sin is not in vain. Especially for women who have a caesarean section, after giving birth to a child, the wound is prone to the problem of uterine contraction and weakness, and at this time, pressing the stomach can promote the retraction and recovery of the uterus.

2. Reduce the chance of complications

After giving birth, the mother has a certain chance of complications, such as postpartum haemorrhage, etc., and the behavior of the postpartum nurse according to the stomach can reduce the probability of complications to a certain extent.

3. How many times does it take to press the stomach after childbirth?

Although postpartum stomach pressure is beneficial, it is indeed very painful, so women will be more concerned about how many times it takes, and they can also have a hope.

In fact, how many times it takes to press the stomach after childbirth is related to the recovery of the body. Generally speaking, the cesarean section is about once an hour at the beginning, the first day takes about seven or eight times, and then a few days once or twice a day, and if the body recovers badly, such as lochia has not been clean, in this case, it is necessary to extend the time of stomach pressure.

After the woman gives birth, although the fetus has come out and the placenta has also come out, the uterus is not completely clean at this time, and there are still many "lochia" residues in it. If the lochia cannot be drained in time, it will affect the recovery of the maternal body and it is easier to fall into confinement disease, so it is necessary to press the stomach after childbirth. ”
