What is the difference between a small month and a big month?

The concept of confinement is very familiar to us. It generally refers to the period of recovery after childbirth. The short confinement period is caused by miscarriage or miscarriage. Therefore, there is a big difference between the short confinement period and the long confinement period. The long confinement period is a natural childbirth for women. During the confinement period, more attention needs to be paid to recuperation and milk production, while the short confinement period does not require milk production and has less rest time.

What is the difference between short confinement and long confinement?

The short confinement period refers to the period after a woman has undergone an abortion, and the long confinement period refers to the period after a woman has given birth. These two periods have some similarities, such as the need to rest in bed, pay attention to colds and winds, and avoid strenuous exercise.

1. Different concepts

First of all, the long confinement period is the one-month period of recuperation after a woman gives birth and a living fetus is born. The short confinement period is the period of time when a woman recuperates after an artificial abortion or a miscarriage, when no live fetus is born.

2. Different time

Women who take a long confinement month give birth to their babies after full-term pregnancy. The pregnancy lasts for a long time, so it takes at least one month for the body to recuperate and recover after delivery.

Women who are pregnant for a short period of time usually have a miscarriage or artificial abortion in the early or middle stages of pregnancy because they have fewer weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, the time for physical recovery after miscarriage is shorter, usually half a month or a month. Women who are pregnant for less than 3 months only need to rest for about two weeks to recover.

3. Different diet

Because the fetus is about to be delivered, you need to eat some lactation-inducing foods in moderation during the last month of confinement to ensure adequate milk supply for the baby, but you should also be careful not to start lactation too early.

What does Xiaoyuezi mean?

Xiaoyuezi

Although surgery for unexpected pregnancy is a relatively safe minor operation, the uterus, ovaries and other related organs also need to go through a repair process. If properly cared for, the physical condition can be restored to its original state. If you do not pay attention to conditioning, your health may go downhill, and in severe cases it may even lead to infertility in the future. After an unexpected pregnancy or abortion, you usually need to rest for half a month or a month. People call this period of time "small confinement month."

Undue harm

Improper care during the "postpartum period" can easily lead to diseases such as vaginitis, adnexitis, acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, cervicitis, cervical erosion, salpingitis, fallopian tube obstruction, and infertility.

How to care

1. Pay attention to proper rest after the operation. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days. Because after the artificial pregnancy operation, the endometrium is left with a wound, if you move too early, it may prolong the vaginal bleeding time. Generally, you should avoid physical labor and physical exercise within half a month.

2. Increase nutrition appropriately, because the operation will cause a small amount of bleeding and cause certain damage to the body, so you should promptly supplement with some foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products.

3. Observe the bleeding. During the unexpected pregnancy surgery, after the placenta is separated, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop in 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts too long, and is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should consider the possibility of infection or the presence of residues in the uterus, and seek medical treatment in time.

4. Adhere to good contraception. After the surgery for unexpected pregnancy, the ovaries will resume ovulation in about 1 month, and then menstruation will come. Therefore, as long as you resume your sexual life after artificial pregnancy surgery, you should further strengthen contraceptive measures and use appropriate contraceptive methods or sterilization measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent pregnancy again. If you are planning to use an IUD for contraception, you can have it inserted at the same time as the unexpected pregnancy surgery, because the success rate of IUD insertion is high, the shedding rate is low, and there are fewer side effects.
