Can I go out and walk during confinement?

Getting pregnant and having a baby is a big event in life, but for women, not only do they have to go through the painful process of childbirth, but they also have to follow the customs of confinement. It's okay to do it in winter, but it's really painful in summer. You can't use air conditioning or fans, and the most fatal thing is that you can't take a bath all the time. It's really painful. If you endure the 15 days and still can't hold it anymore, can you go out during the confinement period?

Can I go out during the 15 days of confinement?

Generally speaking, confinement takes one month. Of course, different people have different physical constitutions and postpartum recovery conditions, so the time required for confinement is not exactly the same. Some people recover very well within half a month after giving birth and can go out. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest. Whether to get out of bed for exercise should be decided based on personal circumstances. If vaginal bleeding is severe, it is not recommended to go out for exercise too early.

How to repair the confinement period

The most important thing after giving birth is to rest. The first half month after giving birth is the time when the uterus contracts most rapidly. If you stand up or walk frequently, the gravity will cause the uterus and internal organs to contract poorly, resulting in "visceral prolapse", which may be the root cause of all gynecological diseases. Therefore, within half a month after giving birth, you must get 8 to 10 hours of quiet sleep every day.

Postpartum confinement should be based on the body's recovery status. The first stage (1 to 7 days after delivery) is dominated by metabolism and detoxification. You can eat sesame oil pork liver, stewed fish soup, Shenghua soup, red bean soup, glutinous rice porridge, etc.; the second stage (8 to 14 days after delivery) is focused on contracting the pelvis and uterus. You can eat salad oil kidney, seasonal vegetables, soybean and coix seed rice, etc.; the third stage (15 days after delivery to the end of confinement) is when you start to really nourish the body with food. You can eat sesame oil chicken, peanut pork feet, vegetables, fruits, etc. What should be reminded most is that a major criterion for adjusting physical fitness through food supplements is "gentle hot supplements". According to Chinese medicine, "cool tonics should be used before delivery, and hot tonics should be used after giving birth." This actually refers to gentle hot tonics rather than strong tonics. For example, authentic black sesame oil baked in warm fire cakes and fried ginger are both mild and warm foods that pregnant women can choose.

If you want to adjust your body shape, confinement after childbirth is a very important opportunity. More importantly, during the confinement period, you must pay attention to avoiding "prolapse of internal organs", which may be the root cause of all "women's diseases" and "decrepitude". Therefore, you must wear a belly band frequently at this time. The belly band can tighten the abdomen and prevent the internal organs from sagging. The material of the abdominal band should preferably be inelastic, breathable and breathable. Generally, most abdominal belts on the market are made of tight and loose materials, which cannot support the internal organs. If the material is not breathable, it is easy to cause abdominal rash, and even cause dampness and coldness in the abdomen.

For pregnant women, although confinement is very important, if it is absolutely necessary, they do not have to go out at all, especially for modern women. There are many working ladies who have to go out to work halfway through the confinement period. They can go out with proper protection methods, but women should still protect themselves well. Since you are given an opportunity to enjoy life, you should not waste it if you can.
