How long after giving birth can I do housework?

After giving birth, women's bodies suffer great damage and they need some time to recuperate. The effect will be better if they take nutritious food. However, many women are very family-oriented and usually take care of their children while doing housework. Faced with this situation, mothers need to understand how long after giving birth they can do housework to avoid hurting their bodies. The following will introduce how long after giving birth they can do housework.

For new mothers, any exercise will increase the secretion of "happy hormones" and effectively promote sleep. Walking is a good choice. During the exercise, new mothers can start with short walks, such as taking a walk to a place that is no more than 10 minutes away. Go shopping in the shops along the way. Mothers who have undergone cesarean section should pay attention to whether there is bleeding from the wound after taking a walk. If it's just a slight oozing of blood then don't worry, it's normal, but if it's excessive then stop walking and go to the doctor for a check-up.

Some mothers take care of their children themselves and do housework at the same time. It can be said that they devote themselves to the family. However, mothers must not be stubborn during the 42 days after delivery. This is closely related to our health. Especially for mothers who have undergone caesarean section, they cannot do housework for two to three months because the wound will rupture.

Some people use this sentence to describe women: a princess for one day, a queen for ten months, and an empress dowager for 30 days. This shows the status of women during the confinement period. Therefore, it is best for new mothers to let others do the housework within 42 days after delivery. Although doing housework does not seem to be heavy and can burn fat, new mothers need more rest after giving birth, especially learning to get as much sleep as possible after the baby falls asleep.

Therefore, mothers who give birth naturally can ask family members or cleaners to take care of the hygiene of the home during the confinement period. If you are a new mother who has delivered your baby by caesarean section, it is recommended that you let others do the housework within 2-3 months after delivery, especially do not use a vacuum cleaner because all the force points are concentrated on your abdomen.
