Why do I sweat and feel cold on my back during confinement?

During the confinement period, the back is always cold. This is a phenomenon that many postpartum women often find. Sometimes it is normal because the process of pregnancy and childbirth consumes more physical energy of women, causing physical weakness, which will cause this symptom. Therefore, we should pay attention to scientific nutritional conditioning and eat more foods that help to replenish qi and blood.

1. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for mothers to sweat a lot after giving birth. During pregnancy, the mother's blood circulation will increase, hormone levels will rise, and metabolism will speed up, causing a large amount of water and sodium to be retained to adapt to the mother's condition after pregnancy. After giving birth, excess water needs to be discharged from the body, which will cause excessive sweating. After sweating, you will feel a cold sensation when you cool down. You need to wipe it off and change clothes in time to prevent colds.

2. Usually women will feel a little weak after giving birth. At the same time, because a large amount of water is retained in the body during pregnancy (this is also the cause of edema during pregnancy), this part of water needs to be discharged after delivery. Sweating and frequent urination are the body's instinctive reactions to achieve this goal. As long as you don't have other discomfort symptoms such as dizziness, you are not weak and there is no need to worry about it. Of course, in order to provide your baby with nutritious milk, you still need to eat more high-protein foods such as fruits, milk, fish, eggs, etc.

3. Before delivery, pregnant women are responsible for providing the nutrients needed for the growth and development of the fetus, and various systems of the mother will undergo a series of adaptive changes. Uterine muscle cells hypertrophy, proliferate, and become longer, increasing the burden on the heart and lungs. During pregnancy, the kidneys also slightly enlarge, the ureters thicken, muscle tone decreases, and peristalsis weakens. Other parts such as intestinal endocrine system, skin, bones, joints, ligaments, etc. will also undergo corresponding changes. After the fetus is delivered, the mother's organs will return to their pre-birth state.

4. The wounds on the uterus, perineum, and vagina will heal, the uterus will shrink, the diaphragm will drop, the heart will recover, and the relaxed skin, joints, and ligaments will return to normal. Whether these shapes, positions and functions can be restored depends on the nursing care of the mother during the confinement period. If the care is done properly, the recovery will be faster and there will be no aftereffects; if you are not careful and the care is not appropriate, the recovery will be slower.
