Around us, we can often see some women, who have two or three children, and the age difference between the children is only about one year old, which means that this part of the women are pregnant again not long after giving birth to their first child.
Although this situation is more common, but in fact, the risk behind this is greater than imagined, but many times because many people do not know, so they "default" no risk, do not know, this cognition is wrong.
Case: The first menstrual period after childbirth has not yet recovered, and after two months of pregnancy, the mother's explanation silenced the doctor
After my friend Xiao Chen gave birth, I and other friends went to visit her together. At that time, her whole person's appearance was not bad, and it can be seen that the confinement period is still comfortable. Then a month later, when we visited her again, we found that her face was not very good, and she was still vomiting from time to time, and one of the friends speculated whether she was pregnant again.
Xiao Chen directly denied it, and said that his menstrual period has not yet recovered, how can he get pregnant. But my friend still suggested that she go to the doctor, and immediately I went to see the doctor with her, and what people didn't expect was that the test results showed that Xiao Chen was pregnant again, and it was only more than two months after giving birth, and she was pregnant again, which made Xiao Chen unbelievable.
Xiao Chen asked the doctor, "My menstruation has not yet recovered, how can I get pregnant?" Is there an error in the check results? Through Xiao Chen's inquiry, the doctor knew what was going on, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You misunderstood, when ovulation after childbirth and menstrual recovery time are not directly related, even if menstruation has not been restored, ovulation function may be restored, if contraception is not done at this time, the possibility of pregnancy is still very large." ”
A doctor's explanation made Xiao Chen not know how to be good, but after a detailed examination, it was found that Xiao Chen's confinement period recovered quite well, and as long as the pregnancy work was done in a short period of time, it should be no problem.
01 When will postpartum ovulation function be restored?
I believe that in the inherent cognition of many mothers, they will feel that postpartum ovulation will only recover when the menstrual period comes. In fact, this perception is wrong, because there is no direct connection between the two, and there may be a menstrual period, but the ovulation period has not yet recovered, and there may be a situation where ovulation recovers not long after ovulation.
Therefore, a single factor cannot be used to determine when postpartum ovulation function will resume. Usually, the recovery of postpartum ovarian function is related to factors such as lactation, maternal age, physical condition, endocrine conditions, etc. In general, ovulation can be restored between 1 month and 3 months after childbirth, and there will be great differences based on individual maternal differences, some women may resume ovulation earlier, and some women may recover later in the ovulation period.
02 Which women recover late in ovulation?
Women who have a habit of breastfeeding
Medical clinical studies have found that if the mother has a breastfeeding habit after childbirth and insists on breastfeeding, then this part of the postpartum ovulation time will be relatively delayed, and it will also cause some women to postpone for a longer time and some women to delay for a shorter time because of the impact of individual differences.
Recommendation: It is best to insist on breastfeeding, because the ovulation period recovers later, which is more conducive to the health of the ovaries of the mother, after all, the number of eggs that women can release in their lifetime is limited, and if they are excreted later, then they will age later than other women.
Advanced maternal age
If the mother is older, then after giving birth, the recovery of the ovulation period will be later, mainly because this part of the mother's physical function is weaker, so the recovery of ovarian function will be slower, which also leads to the recovery of ovulation function later.
Obese women
If the mother is too obese, then the stability of their own endocrine system and hormone system is poor, which will directly affect the recovery of the mother's ovarian system function, resulting in delayed ovulation. For this part of the mother, it does not mean that the later the ovulation period is postponed, the better, because it is likely to imply that the physical health is bright red, especially the reproductive system, if more than a year has not resumed ovulation, then this part of the mother should go to the hospital in time to check, if there is a problem to be solved in time.
Here we should also remind mothers that during the postpartum confinement period, we must maintain physical and mental happiness, and pay more attention to all aspects of life such as diet, sleep, and exercise. What needs to be more concerned is that even if there is a plan to re-conceive, in the short term, we must be prepared for contraception, the best interval between normal births is more than one year, caesarean section is best spaced for more than two years, do not hold the idea of giving birth to a child early, and completing the task of taking a baby early, after all, uterine health also needs to be considered, otherwise if there is a problem with short-term re-pregnancy, it may not only threaten the health of the mother and the fetus, but also directly deprive the second and third children of the qualifications in the later stage.
