Signs of ovulation in women after normal delivery

The thing that pregnant women are most concerned about during the confinement period is diet. What they can eat and what they cannot eat are all things that need to be paid attention to. The elders in the family have always advised mothers not to eat vegetables and fruits, but to eat more nourishing and healthy foods so that the body can heal faster. So, what is the best thing for women to eat after giving birth?

Eggs: Eggs are high in protein and iron, and contain many other nutrients. They are easily digested and utilized by the body without obvious "stomach stagnation" phenomenon. They are very beneficial for the body recovery and lactation of pregnant women. It is advisable to eat 2 per day. Eating too many eggs will not be fully digested and absorbed by the body, and it will also increase the burden on the kidneys.

.Old brown sugar: The copper content in old brown sugar is 1 to 3 times higher than that of white sugar. Women lose too much blood after giving birth. Eating more brown sugar can promote the growth of blood cells and has the effect of producing blood. Brown sugar is warm in nature and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is especially suitable for the pathological characteristics of postpartum weakness and blood stasis, and can promote the discharge of blood stasis and the recovery of the uterus.

Vegetables and fruits: Fresh vegetables and fruits are bright and delicious, rich in vitamins and minerals, can stimulate appetite, and also have the effect of promoting digestion and promoting metabolism.

Millet porridge: Rice porridge or millet soup contains not only a variety of nutrients, but also contains cellulose and more water, which is beneficial to digestion and defecation. It is also more suitable for mothers who have poor appetite after giving birth, and it puts less strain on the digestive system.

How long does it take for a woman to ovulate after giving birth naturally?

From the time the fetus and embryo are delivered, the pregnant woman's uterus and various systems and organs of the body gradually recover to the state ready for pregnancy, and ovulation and menstruation also resume.

The recovery of ovulation after childbirth is related to whether the pregnant woman is breastfeeding and the length of breastfeeding. For pregnant women who have given birth but have not breastfed, very few ovulate within four weeks after giving birth. About 10%-15% ovulate within 6 weeks after giving birth, and 30% ovulate within 3 months after giving birth. The ovulation period of breastfeeding women recovers later, more than 4-6 months after giving birth, but there are also some who ovulate 6 weeks after giving birth. In addition, the age and obesity of pregnant women may also have a certain impact. Japanese national materials show that for pregnant women over 34 years old and obese, the time of the first ovulation in the confinement period tends to be delayed.

The time of resumption of menstruation after childbirth is related to whether the pregnant woman is breastfeeding. For those who do not breastfeed after giving birth, their menstrual periods can generally be restored 6-8 weeks after giving birth. The first 1-2 periods are mostly anovulatory periods, which return to ovulatory periods after 3 months. The percentage of menstrual recovery in breastfeeding women gradually increases with time, reaching 70% by 9 months after giving birth. Generally, for those who resume menstruation too late, their first menstrual period often coincides with ovulation, so breastfeeding women may become pregnant before their menstrual period resumes.
