Many young mothers may choose cesarean section instead of natural birth. Although we all know that natural birth is better for the future physical development of the child, many people will still choose based on physical conditions and personal qualities. My advice to everyone here is that safety is the most important. Let’s take a look at how long the contractions will last after a cesarean section! How long do contractions last after a cesarean section? Normally, after a caesarean section, the upper and lower uterus will return to their normal size after four weeks. After the embryo is expelled, the uterus will shrink immediately. If you apply pressure on the abdomen, you can feel a hard and spherical uterine body. Its highest point is at the same level as the belly button. After that, the height of the fundus of the uterus will decrease by 1-2 cm every day. About 10-14 days after giving birth, the uterus will shrink and descend into the small pelvic cavity. Some pregnant women become very soft due to cervical hematoma and edema after giving birth. The cervical wall is too thin and wrinkled like a sleeve. It will take 7 days to restore to its original shape. After 7-10 days the internal os of the cervix will close. It is not until about 4 weeks after giving birth that the uterus is further squeezed and shaped, and the blood clots are continuously discharged. The volume of the uterus will gradually decrease and slowly recover. How to promote the repair of uterus after cesarean section 1. Start breastfeeding after giving birth Breastfeeding the baby will reflexively induce uterine contractions through the baby's sucking stimulation, thereby promoting uterine recovery. And it is very beneficial to the growth and development of babies. 2. Get out of bed and move around as soon as possible After giving birth, if physical conditions permit, pregnant women should be able to sit up after fatigue is eliminated, and get out of bed to move around the next day. This is beneficial to the recovery of physiological functions and energy, and helps the uterus recover and discharge postpartum lochia. When resting in bed, try to lie on your left or right side, avoid lying flat on your back, and prevent the uterus from tilting backwards. If the uterus has already tilted backwards, you should do the knee-chest position to correct it. From the above, have you already simply understood the answer to how long uterine contractions will last after a cesarean section? Having a baby is a very difficult process for women, which naturally includes the mid- and late-stage conditioning and care of the child. We must be responsible for the child, an act of being responsible for ourselves, and restoring to the original appearance is the right choice. |
