Why is there less lochia in the second child?

Many women who have been mothers should know that after giving birth, the residue in the uterus will be discharged. The odorless residue discharged by the mother after giving birth indicates that the body is recovering. How much lochia is discharged after childbirth is related to the mother's physical recovery and physical fitness. Is it good for a second-time mother to have less lochia?

Why do people choose natural birth for their second child to have less lochia after childbirth?

In fact, there is no need to worry about having less lochia after giving birth to a second child, because the amount of lochia and the length of time vary greatly from person to person. The rate at which the uterus repairs is closely related to physical condition. People with weak physique may take up to 6 weeks, while people with good physique will generally be clean in two to three weeks. Under normal circumstances, the lochia will be cleared 4-6 weeks after giving birth. However, if it continues to drip after this period of time, it is called "unclean lochia". If not treated promptly, it may affect the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman and cause other diseases. What affects the time of postpartum lochia discharge is not the number of births, but your delivery method and your physical condition when you give birth to two babies. Since cesarean section is an immediate surgical delivery, during the operation, some doctors will clean the pregnant woman's uterus and remove some blood clots, embryos, fetal membranes, etc. in the uterus. Therefore, the lochia of some mothers who have a caesarean section will be discharged in about half a month.

The lochia conditions of mothers who give birth to their second child are different regardless of whether they choose natural birth or cesarean section. The lochia conditions of mothers who give birth to their second child are different from those of mothers who give birth to their second child through natural birth and cesarean section. For mothers who choose natural birth, under normal circumstances, the lochia will be completely discharged 4-6 weeks after giving birth. In the first few days after giving birth, the amount of lochia is relatively large and the color is bright red, so it is called red lochia, also known as stubborn lochia, which generally lasts for 3-7 days; after 3-5 days, the amount of blood contained is less and the lochia becomes dark red, which is called pulpy lochia; 10-14 days after giving birth, the lochia is milky white or light yellow, which is called white lochia. Normal postpartum lochia has a fishy smell, but it is not smelly.

How long does it take for the stomach to ache after a second child is normal?

The confinement period after choosing a normal delivery is six weeks. During this period, the uterine contractions need to restore to the pre-natal state, so there will be abdominal pain during the contractions. Generally, the contractions last for more than ten days. If the uterine contractions continue to cause pain more than 15 days after giving birth, it is considered that the uterine contractions are not good, and you need to go to the doctor for examination. Common problems after the second child is delivered normally: 1. Pregnant women are most likely to have postpartum bleeding within two hours after giving birth, so pregnant women still need to be observed in the delivery room after giving birth. After two hours of observation in the delivery room, the pregnant woman and the child will go to the maternity and infant area, and the pregnant woman herself will be observed again. Due to the lack of uterine contractions at this time, postpartum hemorrhage may also occur. 2. Change your attitude and rest. The whole process of delivery consumes the energy of pregnant women. The most important thing on the first day is to rest to ensure the recovery of energy. Nowadays, many mothers and babies live in the same room. The baby is with the mother, and she needs to be fed about every 3-4 hours and change diapers. Once the baby cries and makes a fuss, the mother will have no time to sleep. Mothers who have just given birth should change their attitude to rest.
