Abstract: Oh my God, have a baby 11 years old!
What are postpartum mothers most afraid of?
I think there are many kinds of answers to this question.
For example, the baby is sick, the baby is crying, the baby is not eating well...
Another example is postpartum body shape, getting fat, getting old...
For the postpartum state, it is very hard to conceive and raise a baby, no mother can withdraw from the burden of childcare, and no mother can be as radiant as before pregnancy after childbirth!
These are normal postpartum changes, for these changes, others can give more understanding and encouragement, but must not question and ridicule.
Because sometimes a sneer can really make people's mood worse for a second!
On February 14, Hu Xing'er, who gave birth to her third child, posted a photo of her date with her husband, and in the photo, Hu Xing'er smiled and laughed, and she could feel that she was very happy across the screen.
Since getting married, Hu Xing'er has always been a happy wife, a competent mother, and also took care of her own career, and everything is fine.
But just after she posted the photo, some netizens complained: After giving birth, it is really a lot older, white hair, wrinkles, your husband is much younger!
Some people even said: This big mother's face really disappointed me!
Such comments are really too unfriendly to a mother of three.
Hu Xing'er, 42 years old this year, even if she does not have children, has some wrinkles and a few white hairs, which is a very normal thing.
Coupled with pregnancy and childbirth, no day and night of milk baby with baby, which mother can still shine!
The wanton judgment of the postpartum state is the greatest malice of society towards women!
Hu Xing'er is not the first mother to appear old after being approved for labor.
After Xie Na gave birth to her twin daughters, she was repeatedly criticized by the media for being old, and her face was loose and she lost her previous spirit...
Zhang Ziyi attended the event after the birth of the second child, as a result, several on-site photos in the whole field caused heated discussion, some people said: Zhang Ziyi's face collapsed after giving birth to the second child, there was no flesh on the face, the wrinkles were obvious, and the change was too big to recognize.
Some people even said: This face has 60, the original female star will be old after giving birth to a child!
After giving birth to her third child, Cai Shaofen was also complained about by netizens like a grandmother:
A while ago, Gao Yuanyuan paid for filming, and many people lamented that even the goddess had become old after childbirth, and even some people jumped out to worry about her husband Zhao Youting.
It's really not necessary!!!
Whether it is getting old, getting fat, or getting ugly after childbirth, no one is qualified to judge.
For postpartum mothers, they have to take good care of their babies and ensure that they have milk to feed their children, and just to do this well, they already need to pay all their energy.
Others can't encourage women to have children, and they have to take care of family careers, and they can't get fat or get old...
Mom is a woman, not a superman!
Having a baby will get old, which is a normal physiological phenomenon!
The impact of having a baby on the mother is not just about getting pregnant and unloading!
Pregnancy stupid, chest sagging, stretch marks, low back pain, hand pain, shoulder pain... These are all things that mothers really have to go through, but there is much more to having a baby than that.
A news item on the ZME Science Network reported a study by American scientists: Women after giving birth are about 11 years older than their peers at the cellular level, aging faster than smoking or obesity.
(Having children makes women age faster than smoking or obesity)
Scientists point out that having children will cause the body's genetic markers to also undergo aging changes.
The chromosomes that carry genetic material are like shoelaces, and the telomeres at the end of this "shoelace" are equivalent to plastic covers that protect the laces from falling apart.
In general, telomeres become shorter and shorter as we age and cells continue to divide. When telomeres are short enough for chromosomes to fail to replicate, cells enter the wind candle.
Therefore, the degree of aging in women is also marked by the length of telomeres.
A study published in the academic journal Human Reproduction found that after excluding factors such as age, race, education, smoking history, etc., women who had given birth to children had significantly shorter telomeres than women who had not given birth.
In people who have had children, researchers believe that the cells have aged at an accelerated rate of 11 years.
Also, the more children are born, the shorter the telomeres, and if 5 or more children are born, the telomeres are shorter than those with only 1-4 children.
However, some scientists believe that 11 years is a bit exaggerated, and the aging age caused by childbirth is only about 3 years.
Therefore, having a child will become old, it is a normal physiological phenomenon, it is something that cannot be changed, and no one can laugh at every mother!
Raising children is easier to make people old than having children!
Regarding postpartum aging, pregnant mothers once launched a topic on Weibo.
In just a few minutes, more than 300 moms voted, and 80 percent said they really felt like they were getting older after giving birth.
In terms of knowledge, there are also many mothers who sigh: it is not easy to get old when having children, and it will be only when you raise children!
Yes, having a child will become old, raising a child will be even worse, and the hard work of taking care of the baby and lack of sleep will be responsible for postpartum aging!
As the old saying goes: a woman's youth and beauty are all out of sleep.
But have the mothers ever calculated how long you haven't slept a whole night after the baby is born?
According to a British survey, a quarter of the more than 15,000 people surveyed had less than 5 hours of sleep a night.
A while before the pregnancy, I also solicited this question with my mothers, and some mothers said: I have not slept all night since I became pregnant.....
"Three years, and the quality of sleep is very poor, it is difficult to fall asleep, woken up by the baby crying, it is difficult to fall asleep."
Yes, many mothers have not slept a full night since the birth of their babies.
Night milk three times is the norm, if the baby night milk twice feel happy, and change diapers, the dark circles under the eyes are deepening, almost did not become a national protected animal panda.
But the baby in the first year of birth, because of poor resistance may be sick, encounter cold fever, vaccination, etc., a night to wake up 6, 7 times are less.
How many hours a night, coupled with waking up back and forth, being able to sleep for 2.3 hours at a time is a luxury for my mother.
And the effects of sleep deprivation on the skin are really devastating.
There was a study of sleep deprivation in the United States in which Sarah, 46, participated in the experiment.
For the first time, she slept 4 hours a night, and when she woke up she was very tired, which lasted for five days, and she began to forgetful and her skin was also very rough.
The second time, she slept 6 hours a night, she still didn't feel enough sleep, and the quality of the skin began to deteriorate, and the aesthetic dermatologist said that lack of sleep would lead to less release of growth hormone in the body, which made the skin cells repair slowly.
At the end of the experiment, Sarah's contrasting photos are released, hollow eyes, weak complexion, dull hair, waxy white skin... It really feels like an instant aging lot.
It is said that 8 hours of sleep a day is basic, but for mothers who take care of their babies, they are even 4 hours and 6 hours of sleep is difficult to guarantee, and it is basically impossible to sleep for 8 hours.
Every postpartum mother must love herself!
No mother can still retreat after experiencing the birth of a baby, and the youth is still the same!
But no matter how tired they are after childbirth, mothers should also remember to take good care of themselves, do not care too much about bad words from the outside world, and do not worry too much about the postpartum state.
The baby's healthy and healthy growth must be able to cure everything!
If you want to be in a better postpartum state, mothers can also take care of themselves in the following points.
1. Skin care should be done after pregnancy and childbirth
No skin care during pregnancy, three years old after childbirth! So whether it is pregnancy or postpartum, we must do a good job of skin care, no skin care will really make the skin state worse and older, skin care should be done in three steps:
Do a good job of cleaning. Wash your face with a cleanser at least once a day, using a soap-free cleanser. The soap base is too rough and not easy to remove oil, making it not suitable for facial skin.
Do a good job of daily moisturizing. It is important to do a good job of daily moisturizing, and the skin can drink a lot of water to have a good state.
Do a good job of sun protection. Pregnancy skin will be extremely sensitive, a little sun may be red, the best advice is to avoid the sun, if you want to go out, wear a good sunscreen and wear a sunhat, pay attention to, to avoid chemical sunscreen.
2. Exercise more
Gent exercise at least once a day to promote blood circulation and bring nutrients to the skin, and outbreaks of endorphins secreted during exercise will also make you feel happier and aid sleep.
3. Drink plenty of water
Drinking more water is the most effective beauty rule, water can deliver nutrition and moisture to the baby, but also help the mother to maintain body moisture and rinse the system, so that the skin tone remains clear and full, if there is morning sickness, drink less each time, add a little lemon is also OK.
4. Stay asleep
It may be difficult for new mothers to stay asleep, but try to let yourself take a nap as much as possible, and when the baby is older, the sleep problem will get better, and you can also let the family and husband share more.
5. Maintain a good mood
Don't be too anxious, relaxation is very important for skin care and body recovery, if there is a lot of pressure, try to do something you are interested in relaxing, listening to music, watching movies, dating girlfriends, etc., a good mood can have a good state.
The last thing to say is: giving birth to children will be old, raising children will be tired, while loving the baby, mothers must also love themselves well, I hope that all mothers can be gentle!
