For thousands of years, our country's emphasis on confinement has not diminished, even in today's social progress, medical level developed today, the tradition of women to confinement after giving birth has always been very important, and in recent years, there have been many occupations about confinement care, such as confinement, confinement center, etc., which is enough to see that confinement is absolutely important and necessary for postpartum women.
And there are many taboos about confinement, but they have also changed from the previous traditional practice to a more scientific method, so that women can spend it more easily. But even so, there are still many people who are prejudiced against confinement and even reject confinement, on the grounds that foreigners do not confinement, so they think that confinement is simply unnecessary. But in fact, those who do not confinement to the body after the impact of the impact on the body is bound to have a profound experience, and it should be noted that the so-called non-confinement of foreigners, in fact, some postpartum maintenance methods they are also using.
The 23-year-old Xiao Bei has just been promoted to bao mom, and the arrival of a new life in the family should have been a very happy thing, but these days Xiao Bei and his family are always in trouble, the reason is on the issue of confinement.
Xiao Bei has long heard friends who have given birth around her say how painful confinement is, so she always has a certain shadow on confinement, and she has heard that foreigners do not need confinement and have not seen any "confinement disease", so she also put forward the idea of not confinement, but both mother-in-law and mother are strongly opposed, which leads to a lot of contradictions between them.
Later, a doctor friend came to visit her after hearing about it, and told Xiao Bei that the so-called foreigners do not confinement is just that people do not have "confinement", and some postpartum maintenance families also attach equal importance to it, and we are different from foreign living environments and living habits, and there is also a big disparity in physique, do not blindly follow suit. This remark made Xiao Bei finally compromise and enter the confinement period with peace of mind.
It is true that although foreigners do not have as many taboos as our country, they also attach equal importance to postpartum maintenance. Take the aspect of postpartum exercise, in the past, our confinement tradition was "not moving", and the postpartum hated not being able to lie in bed for the whole confinement, especially for women who had a caesarean section, which was actually very detrimental to the recovery of the mother, so now the postpartum doctor will quickly recommend that the mother get out of bed.
The United States is a country that respects exercise, and after giving birth, there will be doctors to guide them to get out of bed, and they have special rehabilitation centers to guide women in postpartum activities to help them recover better, so they are not free to move freely after childbirth, but also with the help of professionals to better carry out postpartum exercise.
In Germany, the maternal doctor after caesarean section will pull out their urinary tubes the next day to urge them to get out of bed, unlike us, they will also have doctors to take them to learn special restorative gymnastics, note that it is for women, in order to help women who have a caesarean section to recover better, but German postpartum women are more frequent and amplitude than our exercise.
And in the postpartum diet of our country is also very much restrictions, relatively compared to the Japanese can drink ice water after childbirth is more "hardcore", because our traditional confinement taboo is strictly forbidden to eat raw and cold food, but the difference is because we and the Japanese have very different eating habits, and Japanese women are not casually eating and drinking after childbirth, there are special medical staff or nutritionists to give pregnant women a reasonable diet.
Then there is the aspect of body cleaning, before the confinement did not wash their hair for a month without bathing, the whole person out of the confinement almost "steamed" off, and now confinement advocates that pregnant women pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain regular cleaning. Foreigners attach great importance to the aspect of postpartum cleaning, and they believe that not cleaning the body after childbirth will breed many bacteria, which will be more detrimental to the recovery of the body at that time. In fact, our philosophy has a lot of overlap with them, but the reason why we have more taboos than foreigners is that we have many differences in nature.
For example, in terms of diet, our country pays attention to eating cooked food, and has more favor for vegetarian food, but Western countries are mainly meat, and many times they will eat raw food, so their protein and calcium reserves are more abundant, and their physical fitness is better, which can be seen just by looking at the appearance.
The climate is also different, many foreigners have lived in a cold environment for a long time, and the body has adapted to this life, so cold wind and raw cold food do not infringe too much on their bodies, but we can't. In terms of sports, many foreigners have the habit of long-term exercise, and the national movement has made their physique very different from ours.
So don't be stubborn to compare with foreigners, they also have their own way of postpartum recovery, and the so-called one side of the water and soil to raise one person, we are born different, there is no need to be consistent in some things, especially the confinement, it is indeed too important for us Chinese women, or to abide by those taboos, in order to have a better life in the future.
