Can I watch TV and play with my phone during confinement?

I often hear people say that you can’t do this or that during the confinement period. Is there any scientific evidence to support this? Pregnant women often feel bored during the confinement period. Babies sleep most of the time except for breastfeeding, so new mothers feel tired for a few days. Therefore, watching TV series and using mobile phones can help to pass the time. But is it okay to watch TV series and use mobile phones during the confinement period?

Generally speaking, it is not suitable to watch TV series or use mobile phones in the first 10 days after giving birth, because during that period, the macula of pregnant mothers' eyes will be in a state of edema, and it is necessary to wait until the edema of the macula is gradually restored before watching TV series or using mobile phones. Moreover, this type of edema is not divided by natural delivery or caesarean section. If you overuse your eyes, it will affect your future vision. After 10 days when the swelling has subsided, you can watch TV properly, but you must keep the TV at a distance of 2 meters and maintain sufficient light in the environment where you watch TV. After watching a TV show for about 15 minutes, shift your vision for a while and walk moderately.

During the confinement period, if you look at or play with your phone, you will always maintain a certain posture, which will have a negative impact on the mother's waist, back, and wrists. Especially looking at the phone, not only will it affect your eyesight, but it will also make your neck and wrists tired. Therefore, for the sake of their own health, pregnant mothers should play less or no mobile phones during the confinement period.
