How long after giving birth can I travel?

Pregnant women may feel bored if they stay at home for a long time, and they may be eager to go on a trip after giving birth. But this is not a trip that you can just go on at a whim. You need to pay attention to traveling at a scientific and healthy time. Traveling after giving birth requires good time planning. Once your body recovers, you can go wherever you want. Because postpartum women need to pay more attention to their food, clothing, housing and transportation, they also need to be extra careful when traveling.

It takes 3 months for a normal birth and 6 months for a caesarean section, which is the time for the uterus to fully recover. If your journey was not very tiring, 42 days after delivery should be enough.

Precautions for postpartum women

1. After giving birth, you need to stay in bed for 14 days. Except for eating and going to the toilet, it is best to stay in bed for the rest of the time, which is conducive to wound recovery and uterine contraction.

(Still try to rest after 14 days, but avoid getting cold, otherwise it will leave a root cause for headaches and joint pain in the future)

2. Eat mutton liver soup and barley rice to clear the waste from the uterus

3. Avoid certain foods:

● Do not eat ginseng and leeks, otherwise milk will stop flowing

●Dietary taboos: Do not eat wolfberries. The only time in your life when you should not eat wolfberries is during the confinement period, because wolfberries can increase your vital energy, making you excited and restless, unable to rest peacefully.

●Be careful when bathing and washing your hair.

According to tradition, women are not allowed to take a bath or wash their hair during the confinement period. In fact, it is allowed to wash your hair and take a bath during the confinement period, but you cannot use yin and yang water (this refers to a mixture of hot and cold water that has not been boiled. Because the water is not boiled, it may contain bacteria. The capillaries of the mother's body are open during the confinement period, and bacteria can easily enter the mother's body and cause trouble). Instead, use boiled water (cooled to a suitable temperature) or alcohol heated in a water bath to take a bath or wash your hair.

● Do not eat raw, cold, sour, salt, and MSG because they are not easily metabolized and will increase the burden on the internal organs.

4. Try to hold your baby as little as possible during the confinement period, neither while sitting nor standing (since the joints are open during the confinement period, holding the baby will add burden to the joints and leave the root of future diseases)

5. If you are swollen during confinement, drink red bean porridge

Regarding the question of how long after giving birth you can travel, the above is a clear list. You must not be careless. Only if you have a healthy body can you have a happy trip. It is recommended that you take more walks with your family after meals. Relax yourself while taking a walk, keep a happy mood, and also pay more attention to your diet and avoid eating too spicy food. If you do these, I believe the trip you have been looking forward to will not be far away from you!
