What are the things you need to do after giving birth to a cesarean section?

Many women choose to give birth by cesarean section. Of course, some women choose to give birth by cesarean section out of necessity, and some women are afraid of pain. However, they also need to pay attention to the confinement period after giving birth by cesarean section. It does not mean that they do not need to pay attention to these matters during confinement period after giving birth by cesarean section. So let us learn about how to take care of the confinement period after giving birth by cesarean section:

As the saying goes: a ball of fire before delivery and a block of ice after delivery. After delivery, the hormone level in the new mother's body drops greatly, and the delivery of the newborn and placenta causes the mother's constitution to change from internal heat to cold. Their physiological changes determine that the dietary adjustments in the first week after delivery should focus on "excretion".

1. Food should be soft, tasty, easy to digest and absorb. Many new mothers will have loose teeth after giving birth. On the one hand, hard food is not good for teeth, and on the other hand, it is not conducive to digestion and absorption. Therefore, the rice of new mothers should be cooked softer and they should eat less fried or hard shelled food.

2. It is advisable to eat raw, cold and hard food. New mothers have weak constitutions and poor resistance after delivery, which can easily lead to digestive tract diseases such as gastroenteritis. In the first week after delivery, try not to eat cold fruits such as watermelon and pear.

3. Avoid greasy tastes and go for refreshing ones

4. Special reminder: Too greasy food can cause nausea. If mothers consume too much fat, their breast milk may become oily and cause diarrhea in their babies.

5. By the second week of confinement, the mother's wounds had basically healed. After last week's careful conditioning, your appetite should have improved significantly. At this time, you can start eating more blood-enriching foods to regulate your qi and blood. Apples, pears, and bananas can relieve constipation symptoms and are rich in iron. Animal offal is even richer in various vitamins, making them perfect vitamin supplements and blood tonics.

6. You can get out of bed and move around 48 hours after the operation, or 24 hours depending on your physical condition. For confinement, you can take a bath about ten days after the operation. Before that, you can use water to wash. You can only take a bath after the wound is healed, for fear that water will cause inflammation. Other matters are similar to those for natural birth, and there is nothing special to pay attention to.

7. As for the confinement method for those who have had a caesarean section, in principle, it is similar to that for those who have had a natural birth, except that it needs to be slightly strengthened. Generally, those who have had a natural birth need to have a confinement period of 30 days, while those who have had a caesarean section need 40 days. Also, an anesthetic injection must be given before the operation, because the injection of the anesthetic needle will make the body cells dormant and difficult to revive, and the effect of the anesthetic will also travel through the body, causing many side effects after delivery, such as: flatulence, constipation, loss of appetite, insomnia, hair loss, etc. Therefore, those who have had a caesarean section can drink "Liver Nourishing Soup" to regulate and resolve.

People who give birth by caesarean section must pay attention to these matters. They need to pay attention to them after giving birth. Confinement is a very important thing for women. If you do not pay attention to these matters during confinement, you will leave yourself with some bad sequelae and diseases in your future life.
