Precautions for postpartum women

After a cesarean section, a woman's body is at its weakest, so postpartum care and various precautions are particularly important at this time. She needs to lie flat for 6 hours after the operation, and then she can simply take in some liquid food. Special attention should be paid to the choice of clothing, living environment, living habits, diet, etc. Only in this way can she recover quickly.

1. Condition Analysis

Hello, I am happy to answer your question. Since the cesarean section operation causes great trauma to the body, it is recommended that you rest for a period of time and increase some nutrition in your diet to ensure the body's needs and milk secretion. You can take a shower and wash your hair ten days after the operation, but be sure to use warm water and don't wash for too long. To prevent colds.

Condition analysis: Caesarean section causes wounds, and the intra-abdominal pressure suddenly decreases after delivery, causing the abdominal muscles to relax and the intestinal peristalsis to slow down, which makes constipation prone. The dietary arrangements should be different from those for natural delivery. The mother can drink some boiled water 12 hours after the operation to stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and can only eat after the gas is discharged. When she first starts eating, she should choose liquid food, and then gradually move on to soft food and solid food.

2. Precautions after cesarean section

After a cesarean section, there are several things to note: 1. Lie flat on your back for six hours after the operation. After six hours, you can raise your head, use a pillow, and sit in a semi-recumbent position. 2. Although you cannot get out of bed right after the operation, you should turn over more often in bed and exercise appropriately to avoid venous thrombosis. 3. Six hours after cesarean section, you can eat liquid food and get out of bed as soon as possible to facilitate the recovery of gastrointestinal function and prevent intestinal adhesion, intestinal obstruction and venous thrombosis. 4. After the gas is discharged after the operation, you can eat a semi-liquid diet, eat small meals frequently, and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, and difficult to digest foods. 5. Pay attention to vital signs, abdominal incision, uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding and other changes in the condition.

Pay attention to the following points after a caesarean section, and you will recover quickly, which is good for you and your baby: relax, ask for help, take medicine regularly, drink plenty of water, wear large underwear, pay attention to hygiene, protect the wound, observe lochia, move in time, do not carry any weight, do not drive, use contraception after delivery, and pay attention to diet. It usually takes one month for lochia to clear up, but sometimes it clears up earlier, in 20 days or more. If the wound is fine, you can wash your hair and take a bath after 10 days.
