Wen |Tao's mother
Miao Miao is a relatively open-minded person, and she has her own unique views on many things. She has been working since she became pregnant last year, and she still insists on fitness, and she says she is determined not to sit confinement. However, after the birth of the child, she still did not beat her mother and mother-in-law and sat for 30 days. Regarding confinement, there have always been many taboos, but some taboos are unreasonable, and it is easy for pregnant women to fall ill after believing. Therefore, throughout the month, the mother has several bottom lines to keep, otherwise the sins of dozens of days will be in vain.
1. Confinement is bedridden?
Many people simply understand confinement as "the whole confinement is sitting or lying down, unable to move", which is actually a misunderstanding. Whether it is a vaginal birth or a caesarean section, doctors encourage women to go to the ground as soon as possible. This can help the mother to discharge lochia, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and also help with postpartum recovery. On the contrary, if the mother does not move in the ground throughout the month, the blood circulation of the body is not smooth, and the recovery after childbirth is relatively slow.
2. Can't wash my hair during the month?
I believe that most places will have such a statement, and the elderly in the family will carry out strict control in this regard. The reason for the existence of such a statement is mainly that the previous conditions were more difficult, and after washing hair and bathing, they could not keep warm in time, and they were prone to colds and left confinement disease. However, the current conditions are better, in the month, the mother is more able to sweat, if personal hygiene can not be guaranteed, it is very tolerant to breed bacteria, affecting postpartum recovery. And if pregnant women do not take a bath for a long time, it will affect their mood, and it is easy to be irritable and depressed.
3. Can't brush my teeth during confinement?
Many people say that women "have a child and lose a tooth", thinking that they cannot brush their teeth during the month. In fact, oral hygiene should be maintained at all times, and it is also possible to brush your teeth during the month. When pregnant, pregnant women are prone to hyperemia, edema and bleeding of their gums. If you do not pay attention to oral hygiene during the month, it is easy to increase the bacteria in the mouth, and the sugars in the food will be fermented, acid-producing, and eventually lead to tooth decalcification, or the formation of caries.
4. Should I drink more brown sugar during the month?
Most people believe that brown sugar is warm, has the effect of beneficial qi, and food reduction. Therefore, many family members will let pregnant women drink brown sugar water, and even when relatives and friends go to visit the mother, they will send maternal brown sugar. In fact, brown sugar has the function of activating blood, if the mother drinks too much brown sugar water, it will increase the bleeding of the mother. Therefore, drinking brown sugar water in the month should be moderate, but can not drink for thirty days.
5. Can't see the wind during the month?
We have the impression that the mothers in the confinement should be wrapped in thick clothes, hats, and thick socks. And all day long is closed doors and windows, can not see the wind. In fact, this practice is inappropriate, the mother is indeed not able to withstand the wind and cold, but it can still maintain indoor air circulation. Only by breathing fresh air can the mother recover better. If you blindly "cover" it, it is easy to suffer heat stroke, or even lose your life.
Tao Mama said: No matter what foreigners do after giving birth, for Chinese women, confinement still has a certain reason. But during the confinement, pregnant women should also adhere to the scientific confinement, do not blindly believe the words of the elderly at home, some of which are likely to hurt your health. Have you done the above things during the month?
