3. Get out of bed as soon as possible after giving birth. Be careful not to squat hard within a few days after the stitches are removed. When defecating, you should first retract the perineum and buttocks before sitting on the toilet to prevent the perineum wound from cracking. When sitting, the center of gravity of the body should be tilted to the right to prevent the wound from being stressed and causing the wound skin to separate. Avoid falling or excessive external rotation of the thigh roots to cause the wound to crack again. It is not advisable to be hospitalized on the day the stitches are removed, because wound cracking often occurs on the day of surgery.

5. Don’t lift anything: During the confinement period, don’t lift anything, don’t do energy-consuming housework or exercise.
