Is it good to drink more water during confinement?

After giving birth, all organs and systems of the mother's body need to recover, and the baby's diet must also be met, so the mother's diet needs special attention at this time. And if you want the mother to recover quickly, you must pay attention to scientific confinement. We usually pay attention to drinking eight glasses of water every day, and drinking water often is not harmful to the body. So, for pregnant women with special physical conditions, do they also need to drink more water?

A woman who has just given birth has more water in her body than usual. If she drinks more water at this time, it will inevitably affect the excretion of water that needs to be excreted. For mothers who have undergone cesarean section, they may need to drink an appropriate amount of water because they need to take some medications. This is appropriate to drink, but do not drink a large amount of water at one time. It is best to drink it in appropriate amounts in several times.

Mothers can drink more water in the later period of confinement, because the excess water in the body has basically been discharged at this time. And water is also needed in the later period, because the water level has returned to normal at this time. Postpartum intestinal dysfunction and dry stools can be relieved by drinking water, and breastfeeding requires the baby to drink more to provide enough milk. Therefore, after the body's water content returns to normal in the later stage of confinement, you should drink more water, and it should be warm water, not cold water. When drinking more water, try to drink brown sugar water, because at this time, brown sugar water is needed to expel lochia from the body. For expelling lochia, brown sugar water has always been the most effective method. Brown sugar is an unpurified sugar and contains more "impurities". The so-called "impurities" contain a large amount of iron, calcium, manganese, zinc and other trace elements and riboflavin, carotene and other substances that are not found in white sugar. They are the basic raw materials for synthesizing hemoglobin and are very necessary nutrients for these postpartum women.

It can be seen from this that mothers must pay attention to scientific confinement. Things that seem to be no problem at other times may pose major hidden dangers to mothers. After giving birth, mothers must be careful not to drink too much water or soup. Generally, they can only drink more soup in the second week after giving birth.
