Postpartum uterine recovery

For expectant mothers, their bodies are relatively weak after giving birth, so it is very important to take good care of their bodies after giving birth in daily life. Of course, the recovery of the uterus is very important, although we cannot see the existence of the uterus. However, pregnant women can feel the contraction of the uterus after it expands after delivery, so they must pay attention to their health during this period to promote the recovery of the uterus.

Even if the body is very weak after childbirth, many mothers will still walk appropriately to circulate the blood in the body. This can effectively activate the blood circulation, replenish the physical recovery of pregnant women after childbirth, and also help the recovery of the uterus. You must pay more attention to these key points in daily life.

Uterine recovery

Experts explain that the uterus that expands due to pregnancy will return to its original state within 4-6 weeks after delivery. Therefore, if you want the uterus to recover quickly and well, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

It is important to urinate promptly after delivery to prevent the bladder from becoming over-inflated or often in an inflated state.

Prolonged lying position should be avoided during the postpartum period. 6 to 8 hours after delivery, the mother can sit up after the fatigue is eliminated. On the next day, she can get out of bed and walk around. This is beneficial to the recovery of the body's physiological functions and physical strength, thereby helping the uterus to recover and expel lochia. Also, when resting in bed, try to lie on your left side and avoid lying on your back to prevent the uterus from tilting backwards. If the uterus is already tilted retroverted, it can be corrected by lying on the knees and chest.

Breastfeeding should be continued after delivery, because breastfeeding is not only beneficial to the baby's growth and development, but the baby's sucking stimulation will reflexively cause uterine contraction, thereby promoting uterine recovery.

Finally, you must pay attention to genital hygiene. Postpartum women must pay special attention to genital hygiene to avoid causing genital tract inflammation and further affecting the recovery of the uterus.
