How to take care of the baby after caesarean section

After ten months of difficult pregnancy, mothers finally got their favorite products, but the next thing they had to deal with was the issue of how to take care of themselves during the confinement period. Many of them are first-time mothers and have no experience in this matter. The older generation's confinement methods seem to be very different from the ideas of young people. How to take care of the baby during the confinement period has become a difficult issue for pregnant women's families, especially for pregnant women who choose to have a caesarean section. So, how should women who have given birth to women take care of themselves during the confinement period? Actually see the detailed explanation.

1. Whether you have a caesarean section or a natural birth, one thing you must do during the confinement period is to pay attention to self-cultivation. Within six weeks after giving birth, you should avoid lifting objects or doing strenuous work, and housework should also be avoided. Relatives must not let pregnant women get too tired. They also need to share the task of caring for the newborn together, and try to allow the pregnant woman to rest for more than 40 days to allow her body to recover better. Good nutrition can also help prevent uterine prolapse after childbirth and restore the uterus as soon as possible.

2. Pregnant women who have undergone cesarean section should avoid touching water as much as possible before the wound heals, and do not wash their hair or take a bath in a hurry to prevent wound infection. It is best to consider washing your hair and bathing two weeks after giving birth, and mainly scrubbing. During the confinement period, pregnant women will continue to discharge postpartum lochia. In order to keep it clean, you can wash the vulva with warm water every day to maintain the comfort and comfort of the private parts.

3. During the confinement period, be careful not to use a hair dryer, especially facing the air outlet. You can choose to wear a confinement hat. The bones and muscles of women who have just given birth have not yet recovered, and their blood is very weak at this time. If they dry their hair, it is easy to cause symptoms such as colds, rheumatism, and joint pain. However, if the temperature is relatively hot during the confinement period, you can use the air conditioner moderately. Just be careful not to let the wind from the air conditioner directly blow on pregnant women. It is also best for pregnant women to wear sports pants and long-sleeved tops to avoid catching cold.

4. It is strictly forbidden to have sex during the confinement period, because the wound in the uterus has not yet healed. If you have sex at this time, it is very easy to cause confinement infection and chronic gynecological diseases.

5. Try to avoid going out during the confinement period. If you must go out, try to wait until two weeks after giving birth when the abdominal wound has healed.

6. You cannot stay in bed for a long time. If you lie down all the time and lack of exercise, it may cause maternal constipation, leg vein thrombosis, urinary incontinence and other symptoms, and it is not conducive to postpartum recovery. Therefore, many doctors require pregnant women who have undergone cesarean section to walk on the third day after the operation, which is also very helpful for the body's recovery after giving birth.

Confinement is a difficult period that pregnant women and their families must face together, but as long as they understand the relevant knowledge, they can go through this period together well. In addition to these common problems, relatives of pregnant women should pay more attention to the mental health of pregnant women to prevent postpartum depression, and pay attention to communication. In addition, a good diet is also beneficial for pregnant women to recover as soon as possible.
