Today I want to talk to you about the "confinement" that is, the repair of the puerperium period. Now many mothers have a stronger awareness of postpartum repair, and there are more and more information, and some pregnant mothers around me are often confused by this "knowledge".
In fact, the most concerned about here is the recovery of the puerperium period, at this stage of the mother's body functions are relatively weak, so whether it is the mother-in-law or the mother may tell you not to get cold, can not wash your hair and bathe, and even require you to lie for a long time to rest... Otherwise, falling into the "confinement disease" is a lifelong thing.
In fact, the above precautions can not be said to be wrong, because in the age of their children are limited by many objective conditions, such concepts and practices are necessary, but the living conditions of most families have changed greatly, so our concept of "confinement" can also keep pace with the times, with a better and more scientific way to repair the puerperium period.
So, how should the puerperium period be repaired? After the baby and placenta are delivered, the repair can begin in the fourth stage of labour. However, the repair of different parts and the opening time are also different.
The first respiratory repair can begin in the fourth stage of labour. As the baby grows during pregnancy, our breathing patterns change, and if we don't repair it in time after childbirth, the abdomen will persist in size 5-6 months of pregnancy and it will be difficult to repair.
Pelvic repair begins on the 3rd day after vaginal delivery, the 7th day after caesarean section, laxin during pregnancy will lead to postpartum pelvic position changes and pelvic space increase, postpartum need to open the repair in time, effective prevention and relief of pain, and our muscles are attached to the pelvis, if the pelvis is not repaired in time, the effect of muscle exercises behind is not good.
In fact, everyone may have some bone position problems before pregnancy, such as: neck curvature disappears or reverse arch, lumbar curvature abnormalities, scoliosis, etc., taking advantage of the increase in laxin concentration, is an excellent period for adjustment. So pelvic repair is the foundation for other repairs.
Visceral repair begins 10 days after delivery, when the uterus returns to the pelvic cavity. During childbirth, as the baby is delivered, our internal organs also move rapidly, and the abdominal wall behind the organs needs to be reset first to return to the position.
We also need to repair the abdominal wall from the inside out. First do the homeostasis and length repair of the abdominal muscles, and then do the reduction and tightening of the fascia from the abdomen to the back.
After the lochia is significantly reduced in the postpartum two weeks, you can start pelvic floor muscle exercises, the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy will generally move down 2cm, and the postpartum needs to be reset upwards first, and then do firming training after the end of lochia.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the load training that exceeds the weight of the baby should not be done during the puerperium period.
