You can eat pig's feet and ginger after caesarean section, do you know?

With the increasing maturity of cesarean section technology, cesarean section has become the first choice for all women giving birth. Many women will use this method to give birth to relieve pain. However, there are many taboos after cesarean section. So, can women after cesarean section eat pig's trotters with ginger? Let’s find out.

Ginger is warm in nature, so increasing or decreasing calories can prevent postpartum coldness. Vinegar can promote partial calcium absorption. Guangdong people are accustomed to eating ginger and vinegar to nourish their bodies after giving birth. However, there are some precautions when eating ginger vinegar. If you eat it incorrectly, it can harm your body. It is generally believed that it should be started 12 days after delivery. In fact, eating ginger and vinegar after delivery can induce lochia. Pig's trotters and eggs contain protein, vitamins, and calcium. Therefore, mothers who like to eat pork trotters with ginger and vinegar after delivery can eat it once their appetite is improved, but not too much, for fear that the greasy feeling will cause a change in appetite; if the lochia flows smoothly, they should stop eating it after a week, otherwise the lochia will continue. When the lochia is almost gone, which is usually 3 weeks after delivery, it is time for you to take supplementary food and you can eat ginger vinegar again. If you are not a person who likes to eat pork trotters with ginger (because you are afraid of heat), it is best to eat a small amount after the lochia is clean to replenish your body. Only with knowledge can you have a good confinement period.

Dietary considerations after cesarean section:

1. Do not eat or drink within 6 hours after surgery.

2. If gas has not been discharged within 6 hours after the operation, you can drink warm water to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. You can eat after the gas is discharged. Do not eat normal food during the period of gas discharge, such as boiled eggs, fried vegetables, meat, rice, etc. Do not eat sweets, including chocolate, brown sugar water, sweet juice and milk, so as not to cause abdominal distension.

3. You can eat any food after the gas is discharged, but you should follow the principle of eating liquid or semi-liquid food first, and then gradually move on to soft food and solid food. In order to promote milk secretion and reduce postpartum constipation, mothers should drink more soup and juice while eating, and eat more vegetables and fruits, which will help with postpartum care and recovery.

The mother should also follow the following principles:

1. Do not eat too much after surgery. During cesarean section, the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated and its normal function is suppressed, which can easily cause constipation, prolonged delivery, and increased abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to recovery.

2. It is not advisable to eat too much fish after surgery. According to research, fish food contains an organic acid substance that inhibits platelet aggregation and hinders postoperative wound healing.

3. After surgery, you should avoid eating foods that produce a lot of gas. Foods that produce a lot of gas include soybeans, soy products, sweet potatoes, etc. They are easily fermented in the abdomen after eating, producing a large amount of gas in the intestines and causing fermentation.
