Don't even think about washing your hair or taking a shower.

2. Brush your teeth. For people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, if they don’t brush their teeth in the morning and evening, they will feel uncomfortable all over. Because the gums are swollen during the confinement period, rubbing them back and forth with a toothbrush at this time will cause bleeding gums and even cause dental disease. Usually after a week, it is recommended to wash with warm water.

However, long-term walking is not allowed, because the mother's body is still relatively weak at this time and it is better to rest in bed.

However, mothers who have the conditions should not hug their children. If they hug their children for a long time, it will cause arm pain or even temporary paralysis.

6. Don’t eat too salty food. Because eating too salty food will increase the burden on the kidneys in the body, it will cause the mother's blood pressure to rise rapidly and may lead to high blood pressure. There is also the possibility of weaning. Therefore, it is best to eat light food during the confinement period, and then slowly return to a normal diet later.

Clothes that are too tight will make the blood flow throughout the body obstructed, which is not conducive to the discharge of lochia. It may even cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis. If you are a mother who is exclusively breastfeeding, it is best to bring nursing bras.

3. Reminder

Sexual intercourse is prohibited during the confinement period because the uterus has not yet repaired itself. Pay attention to ventilation in the house and don't close the doors and windows tightly. The stuffy atmosphere will make pregnant women feel uncomfortable and affect the quality of breast milk. Moreover, the reduction in oxygen makes it difficult for children to sleep comfortably.
