Guidelines for 24-hour postpartum care
01 Observation in the delivery room, breastfeeding
After delivery, the mother needs to observe in the delivery room for 2 hours, and the obstetric nurse will help the mother master the correct breastfeeding position, so that the baby can absorb breast milk as soon as possible.
On the first day after giving birth, the mother will secrete a small amount of yellowish milk, which is what we often call "golden colostrum". These milks are rich in antibodies that protect newborns from bacterial aggression and are irreplaceable by formula feeding.
Breastfeeding can also stimulate maternal lactation, produce more oxytocin, prolactin, help uterine contraction, and slow down postpartum haemorrhage.
Therefore, new mothers should make good use of this golden period to breastfeed as the top. Let the baby: early contact, early sucking.
02 Monitor body temperature and pay attention to the amount of bleeding
Within 2 hours after childbirth, it is an important node for observing and treating postpartum hemorrhage. Generally speaking, if the amount of bleeding reaches 400 ml within 2 hours, it will be judged as postpartum hemorrhage and require intervention and treatment.
The mother's body temperature will rise slightly within 24 hours after giving birth, which may be associated with stress response and excessive fatigue during childbirth, and most of them will not exceed 38 ° C.
It is necessary to remind the mother that the fever in the puerperium may be closely related to infection and milk accumulation, and if the mother has fever or chills, she should inform the doctor in time.
Fu Aijia warmly reminds: Indoor attention should be paid to maintaining proper ventilation, do not cover the face, cover the face too tightly, but will be self-defeating, not conducive to postpartum recovery.
03 Recuperation during childbirth and supplement nutrition
After giving birth, the mother needs to ensure adequate recuperation and recommends bed rest.
In addition, it is also necessary to supplement nutrition in time, the first day after childbirth can eat, specifically according to the appetite of baoma, the stomach at this time is relatively weak, eat some easy to digest, easy to absorb, high nutrient density of food.
04 Urinate in time and keep the perineum clean
After childbirth, the mother should urinate as soon as possible to prevent the problem of urinary retention.
Generally speaking, within 2 hours of returning to the recuperation room after giving birth, you need to get out of bed and urinate. If there is difficulty urinating, you can drink more warm boiled water and apply a hot water bottle to the bladder area to promote urine discharge.
If there is a side incision wound, the wound can be cleaned by showering, paying attention to the fact that the water temperature should not be too high; after going to the toilet, it is also necessary to wash the perineum to prevent infection.
05 It is not advisable to lie down for a long time, get out of bed appropriately and walk around
Normal birth mother, 6-8 hours after childbirth, can get out of bed to move activities.
At this time, the body is still relatively weak, and it is best to have someone to support it to prevent falling. Don't stand for too long.
Caesarean section of the mother
01 Fasting and water for 6 hours after childbirth
Caesarean section surgery can affect gastrointestinal motility and easily produce flatulence. Fasting for 6 hours after childbirth can reduce intestinal flatulence.
After 6 hours, liquid foods such as porridge water and noodle soup can be eaten to promote exhaustion.
12 hours after giving birth, semi-liquid foods such as egg soup, porridge, noodles, etc. can be eaten.
02 Postpartum colostrum competition gold
Bao Mom can not eat things, but the baby's nutrition is still enough Oh ~ with the breastfeeding of normal birth a reason, as soon as possible to feed the baby milk, but also to help uterine contraction, promote postpartum repair of it ~
In addition, the mother does not have to worry about the anesthetics used in caesarean sections will affect the baby through breastfeeding. The anesthetics used in this process are basically not involved in blood circulation, and the amount of access to breast milk is negligible. So you can feed with confidence.
03 Do not get out of bed, turn over more
The mother who had a cesarean section could only get out of bed and walk around 24 hours after giving birth.
The wound has not healed so quickly, and it is recommended that the mother stay in bed after childbirth. The use of lateral and semi-recumbent positions, with a pillow or quilt behind the back, relieves the pain caused by wound pulling, promotes the discharge of postpartum lochia, and also helps restore intestinal function.
When breastfeeding, moms can choose positions that are comfortable for themselves and the baby, such as rugby and lying on their sides. If you are worried about touching the wound, you can put a pillow between the wound and the baby to relieve the discomfort.
04 Pay attention to urination, perineum clean
Whether it is a vaginal birth or a caesarean section, it is necessary to pay attention to timely urination.
Unlike vaginal births, caesarean sections require the placement of a urinary catheter and the removal of the catheter 24 hours after surgery.
After going to the toilet, Bao Ma should pay attention to cleaning the perineum to prevent infection. Wounds in the abdomen are also recommended not to be touched casually.
The journey to babybirth is long and arduous, and postpartum care is particularly important. Fathers should be more considerate of the difficulties of mothers and take good care of postpartum mothers
I wish every mom a smooth recovery period after childbirth.
