Caesarean section now does not require abdominal compression

Caesarean section is a method that women now choose when giving birth. Caesarean section is very simple and can avoid the heart-wrenching pain of natural childbirth. However, everything is not over after a caesarean section. It is more painful after a caesarean section. The pain of the wound is also very severe. Moreover, it is necessary to press the belly after a caesarean section. Now, do we no longer need to press the belly after a caesarean section?

No need to press the belly during caesarean section?

If the cesarean section operation goes smoothly, you need to press the stomach after the operation to expel the dirt in the stomach, and take good care of your body. Generally, you don't need to squeeze the abdomen hard to avoid soft tissue damage. If the fetus is difficult to take out, you still need to press the stomach.

If all indicators are normal and suitable for natural birth, natural birth is still the first choice. Natural birth can reduce the probability of suffocation and pneumonia in the baby. During natural delivery, the immune antibodies in the mother's body can be passed on to the baby, and the baby's resistance will be enhanced after birth. The advantages of natural childbirth include quick recovery, being able to get out of bed and walk around on the day of delivery, shorter hospital stay and lower costs. You can eat immediately after delivery and breastfeed.

After cesarean section, be sure to get out of bed and move around early, generally 2 days after the operation, which can effectively prevent tissue adhesion.

After a cesarean section, pressing the abdomen is beneficial. First, it can help the uterus contract quickly. Since a cesarean section requires opening the pelvic cavity, which destroys the environment of the uterus, it is easy to have uterine contractions. Artificial pressing can stimulate the uterus and speed up uterine contractions. In addition, pressing the uterus can promote the discharge of lochia. Due to poor uterine contraction after cesarean section, blood is easily accumulated in the pelvic cavity. Pressing the abdomen is actually pressing the fundus of the uterus. The purpose of pressing the fundus of the uterus is to eliminate the accumulated blood and promote the recovery of the uterus as soon as possible.

How long does it take for the belly to become flat after a caesarean section?

It is impossible for the belly to suddenly return to being flat after a caesarean section. Due to the location of the incision, some fat will inevitably appear on the lower abdomen. However, you will definitely lose some weight due to fatigue in the future. The time required for each person is different. Some may take a few months, while others may take one or two years.

Generally speaking, it takes two months for a pregnant woman who has just given birth to recover her health. Childbirth can cause a lot of harm to women, so they need to recover slowly. Generally speaking, after giving birth, in addition to actively conditioning the body, you also need to do moderate exercise, so that the belly will quickly become flat again. If you don't control your diet and take effective measures to help your belly recover, it will take a long time, and even fat will continue to accumulate on your belly.
