How do you know if you have done your confinement well?

After giving birth, the body of a pregnant woman suffers great damage. Therefore, it is necessary to take good care of herself and restore her health during the confinement period. There are many taboos for mothers during the confinement period, all of which are to avoid the occurrence of confinement diseases. The incidence of postpartum diseases is very high and generally difficult to cure. So, how does a mother know whether she has done a good job in confinement?

How do you know if you have done your confinement well?

How do you judge whether you have had a good confinement period? In fact, it is very simple. If these situations occur during the confinement period, it may be a signal that the mother is too overworked and needs to rest in time.

1. Susceptible to colds

Pregnant women’s physical condition is generally weaker after giving birth, and their resistance will also drop significantly. If you often catch colds or have headaches during the confinement period, you need to pay special attention to it, as this is a sign of physical weakness and you need to rest in time.

In particular, some pregnant mothers will feel increased sweating, and even drinking hot soup will cause them to sweat profusely. At this time, pregnant mothers should not worry too much to avoid damaging their bodies.

2. Blood stasis cannot be completely discharged

Expectant mothers will have a few weeks of recuperation after giving birth. The blood stasis will be discharged from the body during this period. If you experience persistent blood stasis and lochia, it may be because you did not take good care of yourself during the confinement period.

3. Body pain

Many mothers have to take care of their babies during the confinement period. Maintaining a posture for too long will cause muscle soreness. If the damage is serious, it will not disappear even after the confinement period and will accompany the woman throughout her life.

What should you pay attention to during confinement?

You must stay in bed to rest after giving birth, especially if you had a caesarean section. You need to stay in bed for at least a month and ensure adequate sleep so that your body can recover as soon as possible. Because babies often need to be fed and will wake up many times at night, you must take time to rest and ensure adequate sleep. Of course, you should also do some appropriate activities, such as getting out of bed and walking around, which will help the wound heal.

Bed rest is necessary, and after giving birth, the baby will cry all day long, and the mother needs to feed the baby and change diapers many times at night, so there is very little sleep time. At this time, the mother must seize every opportunity to rest and sleep well and get enough rest, because there is still a long way to go in the future, and she needs to take care of the baby by herself, and there may be little help from others.

Postpartum diseases are difficult to cure, so during the confinement period, mothers should pay attention to taking care of their bodies, otherwise the damage caused may accompany them for a lifetime. If you suffer from postpartum sickness, you can sweat by yourself or go to a confinement center when you are one month old. Sweating can help discharge blood stasis and recover from postpartum sickness, but you must pay attention to keeping warm after sweating.
