Many people like to compare older generation women with young women today, especially when it comes to having children and confinement. We can often hear people say that the older generation of women are not as "pretentious" as they are now after giving birth, and there are even sayings that they work in the field not long after giving birth.
In this regard, young women now seem to be very squeamish, not only to do 42 days of large confinement, only two months of small confinement. In such a comparison, many people's opinions may come out.

Case: "7 days is almost the same" Bao Mom was suspected of sitting in confinement for a long time, and after half a year, the man became a laughingstock
Ms. Ding is far married, in the second year of marriage with her husband gave birth to a baby, because of the relationship between the far marriage, plus Ms. Ding's mother also has to take care of the family's life at home, so there is no way to take care of the confinement, and Ms. Ding's mother-in-law saw that Ms. Ding gave birth to a daughter, and did not care too much, often said that she still had business to talk about, and went out.
After giving birth, the saddest thing is probably that there is no one to take care of the confinement, Ms. Ding originally discussed with her husband whether she can find a sister-in-law, but the husband said, "But it is to have a child, a week or so will recover almost, it will not take so long, then you can do other things, but also ask the sister-in-law to do, waste money." ”
Ms. Ding was suddenly confused when she heard a week, even the short one-month confinement period was suspected of being long by her husband, in her husband's eyes, how easy it was to have a child! Ms. Ding feels more and more ridiculous and sad, during the confinement period, the mother-in-law makes meals more casually, Ms. Ding sometimes orders good ingredients through takeaway, cooks soup and drinks by herself, and the mother-in-law sees that it is also easy to save, and naturally does not care.
Six months later, Ms. Ding's mother-in-law was diagnosed with uterine fibroids and had to be removed for surgery. After the mother-in-law finished the operation, she also needed someone to take care of her, at which time the husband asked Ms. Ding to take care of it. Ms. Ding said, "At most, I will recover in a week, I will only cook some home cooking, and I have a daughter to take care of, and I can't smoke." At this time, Ms. Ding's husband seemed to be like five thunderbolts, but he could not put down his face, and directly quarreled with Ms. Ding, and finally Ms. Ding took her daughter back to her mother's house.
In real life, there are actually some men like this, and some mothers' experiences in the confinement period are even worse than this, but the mothers do not complain.
Men have not experienced childbirth, do not understand how much childbirth is harmful to women's bodies, so in the eyes of this part of men, the seven-day confinement period may be too long. Thinking that the child is just "pounced" and born, there is no pain in the process, and the mother's body will not suffer any damage, but I don't know that the mother has suffered too many invisible grievances in this process.
Why do women confinement after giving birth? Men should take a look
First of all, the most basic is to restore physical strength, perhaps many men's understanding only stays in this aspect, thinking that after a woman has a child, the most consumed is physical strength. We have to admit that it is true that women consume a lot of physical strength during childbirth, resulting in extreme weakness in the body, so it takes a long time to recover.
But this is definitely not the only reason, postpartum women's immunity, resistance and other systems are in an extremely weak state, in this case, mothers are easy to be targeted by bacteria and viruses, if you do not pay attention to all aspects of the details, there may be infection, especially the reproductive parts, resulting in the impact of the second pregnancy, or leave some fertility sequelae.
In addition, after giving birth, women will also have greater changes in hormone levels in the body, thereby stimulating maternal emotions. If there is no long-term recuperation, women are prone to physical and mental exhaustion, especially postpartum depression. If you don't pay attention to it, when the situation is serious, you may even have the idea of taking a light life.
Of course, there is another reason that is very important, that is, the organs and reproductive parts of the body need a long recovery period, because during pregnancy, pregnant mothers' lungs, stomach, bladder, etc. are affected by the enlargement of the uterus, and it takes a certain amount of time to recover after childbirth. After childbirth, the woman's genital area may be torn, ligament elastic changes, etc., which cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
Therefore, I hope that everyone has more tolerance for maternity, do not take the past women to give birth to how to make excuses, you know, in the past many women are because of the postpartum did not get a good rest, resulting in the impact of the second half of life confinement disease, sequelae, etc., if you give them the opportunity to choose, they will also have such good living conditions now, they will not take their own bodies to risk.
