Confinement is something that every mother needs to go through, but different people have different views on this matter. There are many people who have a certain misunderstanding of the Chinese confinement, and these people will be convinced. If you always look at things in this way, then instead of being good for your body, you will have a series of problems.
Xiao Liu just gave birth to the child, and this time was during the confinement. However, Xiao Liu feels that confinement is a very difficult thing, not only is the body particularly weak at this time, but also needs to lie in bed every day, which is simply too boring. Especially now that the weather is relatively hot, so Xiao Liu will often sweat, so Xiao Liu especially wants to go to the bathroom and take a good bath. But when he had such a thought, he was stopped by his mother-in-law.
I saw my mother-in-law say, "You can't get wet when you are confinement, are you not going to die?" When he heard his mother-in-law say such a sentence, Xiao Liu was also particularly afraid, so he listened to his mother-in-law's opinion and never took a bath. But every day he felt the sour smell on his body, and Xiao Liu also felt unbearable. However, for the sake of his own body, how could Xiao Liu disobey what her mother-in-law said? So Xiao Liu has been patient.
In fact, this is a very typical misunderstanding, there are many people have misunderstandings about confinement, especially these 4 kinds of misunderstandings make many people believe, in fact, we do not need to look at confinement in this way.
The misunderstanding of the Chinese-style confinement, these 4 misunderstandings are convincing
When a woman is pregnant, the hormones in the body will continue to change, and the most likely problem at this time is bleeding gums, edema, especially when brushing teeth. The reason for this situation is that pregnant women do not get enough nutrition at all, so the body is deficient in calcium, and many women also find that their teeth do become bad after giving birth.
Therefore, most people think that pregnant women are not able to brush their teeth, in fact, this idea is not correct, because pregnant women eat a lot of sugar and high-protein foods every day when confinement, if they often do not brush their teeth, then it is easy to form caries or periodontal disease problems. Therefore, when confinement, you must brush your teeth, make sure to brush your teeth twice a day, and brush your teeth with warm water, so that you can not irritate the gums.
There are also some elderly people who feel that women cannot get wet when they are confined, and only this idea is incorrect. Women are prone to sweating during confinement, and they also need to eliminate lochia, especially the feeling of sweating is very uncomfortable. So at this time women should take a good bath and then let themselves relax.
Of course, in the process of bathing, you must choose a shower, in addition to ensuring that the wound is dry, especially for women who have a caesarean section. Therefore, do not think that you cannot get wet when you sit in confinement, this idea must be wrong.
Others feel that women are not allowed to eat raw and cold things, such as raw and cold fruits and vegetables, while confinement. In fact, this idea is also incorrect, because fruits and vegetables have a large amount of dietary fiber, if you can eat it regularly, it can make the intestines unobstructed, and it can also promote bowel movements.
For women, this has great benefits for their own recovery, and fruits and vegetables themselves do not need to be heated. But there is one thing we also need to know, that is, never let women eat too cold things, which is not good.
In addition, there is also a misunderstanding, that is, some people feel that women should not be active during confinement and should go to proper rest. In fact, this idea is also incorrect, and the mother should get out of bed as soon as possible. Especially for those women who have a normal birth, they can carry out activities at their bedside on the second day, which can ensure the rapid recovery of their bodies.
If you lie in bed often, you will only make your blood in a state of hypercoagulability, which can easily increase the risk of thrombotic diseases. Of course, large exercise should not be done, those small exercise can still be done, such as walking or climbing stairs, this is a better way.
Therefore, pregnant women must not fall into these misunderstandings when confinement, because these practices do not help their own physical recovery. At this time, the mother should exercise more, and then eat more fruits and vegetables, do not always lie in bed, and then ensure that their mentality is optimistic, do not think about some insignificant things, then you can make the recovery better during confinement.
