Picture of uterus after normal delivery

Because when you choose natural delivery, the fetus will pass through the uterus and the vagina, which will cause damage to the uterus and lead to vaginal relaxation and other conditions. After a normal birth, it takes some time for the uterus to repair. If the uterus does not repair well, it will affect future pregnancies. How to restore the uterus after choosing natural childbirth?

How to restore the uterus after choosing natural childbirth?

After choosing a natural birth, pregnant women must have a reasonable and balanced diet and supplement nutrients to help the body recover. In addition to diet, pregnant women should also do appropriate aerobic exercise to lose weight, accelerate the body's metabolism, and also help the repair of the uterus. After giving birth, pregnant women can also effectively use a restraint belt to help the internal organs in the abdomen recover, but be careful not to use the restraint belt too tight or for too long.

It takes 6-8 weeks for the uterus to repair after a normal delivery. The condition and time of uterine repair vary from person to person. Some pregnant women recover faster, while others recover slower.

In addition, whether you choose a natural birth or a caesarean section, you must immediately remove the lochia during the period when the mother's lochia is discharged. For pregnant women who have had a natural delivery, episiotomy or laceration, or a caesarean section, the wound must be kept dry and clean to prevent infection, which is also conducive to the repair of the uterus. Pregnant women need to follow the doctor's instructions for basic follow-up after giving birth. Generally, B-ultrasound can be used to observe the condition of uterine repair 42 days after giving birth.

How long after a normal birth can I have sex?

It takes at least 8 weeks after a normal birth before you can have sex

Many mothers know that the uterus needs time to repair after a normal birth, and that sex is not allowed during this period. So how long does it usually take for the uterus to repair?

Medical clinical studies have shown that for pregnant women who choose natural childbirth, it takes about 6 weeks for the uterus to recover to its normal size. This is because during pregnancy, the pregnant woman's uterus gradually swells and enlarges as the fetus in the belly continues to grow. When the pregnant woman gives birth, her uterus is many times larger than before pregnancy. Therefore, its repair process is also relatively long. The uterine wall of a pregnant woman takes a longer time to repair, about 8 weeks. It can only recover after the ovaries are basically repaired, that is, after the first menstruation.

However, in fact, there is no mandatory requirement for how long you can have sex after a normal delivery. It mainly depends on the woman's physical condition. Some women with poor physical condition or poor postpartum recovery need to delay having sex for the sake of the mother's health, and the father needs to endure more time. For those who have recovered well after childbirth and are in good health, the time for sexual intercourse after normal delivery can be relatively earlier, but not earlier than 8 weeks after giving birth. Couples should never sow trouble for the sake of momentary pleasure.
