How long can I take a shower after a normal delivery?

Female friends all hope that they can give birth naturally, so that the fetus in their belly can be delivered more healthily, and the fetus's own resistance will become better. However, after a natural birth and episiotomy, mothers should pay attention to their body's recovery and not rush to take a bath. They should wait until their bodies gradually recover before taking a bath. They should also eat less salty and sugary foods.

1. Eat more protein-rich foods, such as soybeans, etc.

2. Seafood, such as seaweed, kelp, etc., as well as nuts, are also very nutritious.

3. Control the amount of water and salt to avoid edema

4. Experts recommend that pregnant women choose foods with high nutritional value, such as animal offal, etc.

Precautions for walking in late pregnancy:

1. When going downstairs, hold the handrail to prevent your body from leaning forward to avoid falling.

2. When going upstairs, hold the handrail tightly and use the strength of your arms to reduce the burden on your body and legs.

3. When walking on a flat road, keep your head up, straighten your back, tighten your hips, maintain your whole body balance, and walk slowly.

4. When sitting, it is best to choose a chair with a straight back, and do not sit on a low chair. Keep your back straight, use the muscle strength of your legs to support your body while sitting on the chair, so that your back and buttocks can rest comfortably on the back of the chair, and then place your feet flat on the ground.

5. When squatting, do not bend over directly to avoid excessive force and causing damage to the back muscles.

6. If you want to pick up something from a high place, do not stand on tiptoe or stretch your arms, as this may cause you to accidentally fall. It is best to ask someone for help.

1. Natural childbirth is a physiological process. The fetus contracts rhythmically through the uterus, compressing and expanding the chest, which is beneficial to the activity of the lungs and the establishment of breathing after birth.

2. The compression of the fetal head by the birth canal during delivery stimulates the fetal central nervous system, which is also very beneficial for the establishment of neural movement after birth. Because they are free from the effects of anesthesia and surgery, mothers recover quickly after delivery and can take care of their babies as soon as possible.

3. During vaginal delivery, the contraction of the uterus and the resistance of the birth canal can also squeeze out the amniotic fluid in the fetal respiratory tract, which is not only beneficial for breathing after birth, but also can reduce aspiration pneumonia caused by wet lung and amniotic fluid inhalation.

Moreover, for expectant mothers, the damage is small and the bleeding is less. They can get out of bed and walk around on the day of delivery, and the recovery will be faster. It can also avoid postpartum complications such as infection that may be caused by intrauterine surgery.

Of course, not all women are suitable for natural childbirth. If the fetal position is abnormal or the pelvis is small, these can be detected in advance through B-ultrasound. Relative indications, such as post-term birth (late-term baby), macrosomia, temporary abnormal changes in fetal position, etc. Doctors will only recommend cesarean section to pregnant women with such obvious indications.
