How long does it take to recover after giving birth?

Pregnant mothers are very weak after giving birth and need to rest for a period of time. During the rest process, we must pay attention to replenishing the nutrients needed by our body to help us better improve our physical fitness. It is also very good to do some physical exercise every day. Let me briefly describe how long it takes to recover after giving birth.

Generally speaking, it takes about 40-60 days for the functional structure of the body's organs to return to pre-pregnancy levels, and the recovery of each organ is different. The recovery of the uterus is quite obvious. A short time after delivery, the uterus shrinks to the level of the umbilicus with the uterine fundus. It will drop 1-2 cm every day thereafter. About 10 days after delivery, the uterus shrinks back into the pelvic cavity, and the uterine body can no longer be felt in the abdomen. You can return to your pre-pregnancy state 6-8 weeks after delivery. It also takes a certain amount of time for the endometrium, that is, the detachment surface between the uterus and the placenta, to recover. After the placenta is delivered, the detachment surface immediately shrinks to 50% of its original area. With the discharge of lochia and the proliferation of new endometrium, the complete repair of the placenta attachment part will be completed in about 6 weeks after delivery. The cervix relaxes like a cuff after delivery, and returns to normal 4 weeks after delivery. But the foreign invaders are oblate in shape. If the vaginal wall and pelvic floor muscles are damaged or torn during childbirth, they can only recover slowly after delivery, about 3 weeks, but generally cannot recover completely. Therefore, some women's pelvic floor tissue and vaginal wall cannot recover, resulting in relaxation of the pelvic floor tissue and vaginal wall. This can cause uterine prolapse, vaginal wall bulging, and perineal wounds that take 4-5 days to heal, leaving only a general scar after delivery. The breasts develop rapidly after delivery. In the first 2-3 days, the breasts swell and a small amount of colostrum appears. 4 days after delivery, a large amount of milk is secreted, which lasts throughout the lactation period, and the ovarian ovulation function is restored. It takes about 10 weeks for those who are not breastfeeding and 4-6 months for those who are breastfeeding. Therefore, you should pay attention to contraception after giving birth. In addition, the cardiovascular, respiratory and urinary systems can return to normal within 2-3 weeks after delivery. In order to promote the recovery of the body, you must pay attention to rest within 40-60 days after delivery.

How long does it take to recover after childbirth? This needs to be determined by each of our physical fitness. If we help our mothers to supplement nutrition reasonably, we can achieve a quick recovery effect. We should eat more meat, eggs, milk and other foods on a daily basis, which are rich in protein. Protein is the trace basis of human life activities.
