How long after giving birth can I have a baby?

If a new mother who has just given birth wants to have another baby, the most basic requirement is to restore her body to a healthy state. Generally speaking it takes two years, but if you are in good health, the time can be advanced. So the problem is to keep yourself healthy so that you won’t be in a situation that makes you anxious. Of course, the best way is to give birth naturally, which will be beneficial to your health and will also be of great benefit to postpartum regeneration. Next, I will introduce to you how long it will take to have another child after giving birth.

If you want to get pregnant again after a caesarean section, you need to wait two years. Because the incision on the uterine wall after cesarean section does not heal well in the short term. In premature pregnancy, the uterus continues to grow due to the development of the fetus, and the uterine wall becomes thinner, especially the surgical incision is made of connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars can easily rupture in late pregnancy or during delivery, causing massive abdominal bleeding and even life-threatening. Therefore, it is safer to get pregnant again two years after the operation.

Before deciding to have a child, both husband and wife should pay attention to their bodies and maintain good health, such as eating more nutritious foods, exercising appropriately, etc. The husband should be more caring and considerate of his wife and pay more attention to the emotional coordination of the couple. In addition, tobacco, drugs, X-rays, and alcohol can cause harm to pregnancy and even affect the IQ of offspring. Both husband and wife should avoid contact before conception, especially the husband should quit smoking and drinking.

1. Adjust your lifestyle

Expectant fathers and mothers should first quit smoking and drinking.

Alcohol is toxic to the male reproductive system and can cause sperm abnormalities. Expectant mothers who like to drink coffee should limit the amount to one cup a day. As for beverages such as cola, it is best to completely eliminate them from the diet and replace them with fresh fruit or vegetable juice. In addition, expectant fathers are advised not to grow a beard, even the beard above and below the lips, because the beard will absorb dust and pollutants in the air, enter the body through breathing, affect the internal environment of "sperm production", and may also be easily transmitted to his wife by various pathogens when kissing her.

2. Comprehensive physical examination

Doing a physical examination before pregnancy and assessing your own health status is the most basic action to maintain women's reproductive health and raise a healthy baby. You can go to the "Family Planning Department" or Gynecology Department of the hospital, explain your purpose to the doctor, and ask them to guide you to do the corresponding examinations. If any disease is discovered, treatment should be sought as soon as possible to prevent the medication from having adverse effects on future pregnancy.

3. Take body temperature and test semen

Basal body temperature is the body temperature of a woman when she wakes up in the morning and has not yet moved. The body temperature is relatively low during the period from menstruation to before ovulation. When ovulation begins, body temperature rises sharply and mucus secretion increases, indicating that it is a good time to conceive. Recording for several consecutive months can detect the stability of ovulation. In addition, let the husband go to the hospital and collect a semen sample with the help of a doctor to analyze the number, mobility and vitality of sperm to determine whether there are sufficient high-quality sperm.

If you want to have a baby after giving birth, you must adopt a healthy time and method. For women who have had a caesarean section, the time will definitely be delayed compared to those who have had a natural birth. Because it takes a long time for the body to recover after a caesarean section. If you want to have a child, don’t be in a hurry. Only by taking good care of your body can you give birth to a healthy and lovely baby.
