What to do if your uterus is enlarged after childbirth

An enlarged uterus after childbirth may sometimes be caused by high blood sugar during pregnancy, but this is certainly not always the reason.

In fact, normal women may have a slightly enlarged uterus after giving birth. There is no need to worry about this phenomenon, as it can be improved through proper massage and lifestyle adjustments.

Women with an enlarged uterus after childbirth can lie flat on the bed, press their abdomen with both hands, and slowly push down to the lower abdomen. 20-30 minutes a day. Then eat more hawthorn and other foods that can promote uterine contraction. Also, you need to rest more. If you don’t rest enough, it will be difficult for your uterus to contract well. And as long as your physical condition allows, you should start exercising as soon as possible after delivery, at least once a day. However, it might be better to do it several times a day, for shorter periods of time, such as 5 minutes each time. You can do prone exercises in the first few days, which will help the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy position.

Friends with an enlarged uterus after childbirth can also do abdominal muscle exercises, such as lying flat on the bed, bending your knees, and placing your hands on your abdomen.

Be careful not to bend your knees or arch your back.
