What are the side effects of holding a baby during confinement?

Many maternal and child experts have told young female friends that if you are not adequately prepared, you should never get pregnant. Once you become pregnant, you must be mentally prepared for anything you may encounter in raising a child in the future. In fact, this sentence makes a lot of sense. Many women often hold their babies to comfort them during the confinement period because their babies love to cry. So will holding babies frequently during the confinement period leave any sequelae?

Back pain

During pregnancy, due to the increased abdominal pressure and the great force on the waist, you will often feel back pain, but don't think that you will be completely relieved after giving birth.

In fact, if the uterus does not contract well, or if there is a lack of calcium, fatigue, bending over to hold the baby for reasons such as changing diapers, and standing or sitting for long periods of time when doing housework, the back pain after delivery is often more severe and is likely to accompany you for life. In severe cases, it can also lead to a series of lumbar spine diseases.

Cold hands and feet

During the special physiological period of pregnancy and childbirth, the sudden changes in hormones in the body affect the nervous system, resulting in reduced blood flow and poor vasoconstriction, making the body weak and causing cold hands and feet. In addition, the same problems may also occur due to maintaining the same posture for a long time while taking care of children and doing housework, which can lead to poor blood circulation in the extremities.

It is worth noting that many women after childbirth find themselves always inexplicably afraid of cold, and it often starts with cold hands and feet.

Postpartum depression

Reports show that the incidence of postpartum depression is about 20%, but the actual data is much higher than this, the only difference is the severity. With the increasing pressure of modern life, the incidence of this disease is also increasing year by year.

A woman who is optimistic and cheerful before giving birth may change her expression in a minute after giving birth, showing symptoms of sadness, crying in pain, irritability, and anger. In severe cases, she may even have thoughts of suicide or hurting others, like a time bomb.

Breast changes

If you are a breastfeeding mother, you will be surprised to find that your breasts change drastically before and after giving birth. Originally considered as a representative part of a woman's sexual characteristics, after giving birth, it only becomes a food warehouse for the child! If you cannot breastfeed or suck milk in time, it is easy to cause milk blockage, followed by a high fever, and develop into painful mastitis!

During the baby's teething period, he or she may bite the nipple at any time, which may cause mild pain or even bleeding. When you finish breastfeeding, you find that your breasts have shrunk significantly, and it seems that they are only used to distinguish between the front and the back, and they are drooping!
