What should you pay attention to during cesarean section?

It is undoubtedly great for a mother to carry the baby for ten months before giving birth. There are not only natural births but also caesarean sections when giving birth. Just hearing the name sounds very scary. What kind of childbirth method is cesarean section? During this process, one can imagine how much pain the mother had to endure just to be able to exist. I wonder if you know some precautions about caesarean section. I have compiled some for you and hope they will be helpful to you.

One of the things to note when a cesarean section mother is in confinement: dietary taboos for mothers

Women who have undergone cesarean section need to have a good rest after the operation, especially with a reasonable and nutritious diet during the rest. However, women who have undergone cesarean section need to pay special attention to their diet, especially within one week after the operation. You cannot eat hard food in the first three days after the operation, and can only eat liquid food. What is liquid food? It is soup, light, non-greasy, and easily digestible food. You can choose rice porridge, millet porridge, green vegetables, egg custard, etc. as the main food, which is beneficial to the recovery of the mother's body functions.

In the first week after the operation, greasy foods such as chicken, chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, pork rib soup, etc. should not be eaten. This is not conducive to the mother's body absorption and is more likely to cause adverse effects such as wound bleeding and suppuration. Therefore, the first half of the month during the confinement period for mothers who have undergone cesarean section is mainly to eliminate blood stasis in the body, lochia in the vagina, and wound healing. In terms of diet, you can choose Siwu Decoction to help eliminate lochia in the body, and it can also promote the recovery of the uterus, help the mother's wounds heal as soon as possible, and recover her body as soon as possible.

During the second half of the month of confinement, mothers who have undergone cesarean section can eat nutritious staple foods, especially eggs, chicken soup, pork rib soup, pig's trotter soup, etc., which are relatively high in protein. Babies who are breastfed need to strengthen the reasonable combination of various nutrients in the body to meet the baby's physical development requirements. However, the editor would like to remind you that mothers who have undergone cesarean section can eat some fruits during the confinement period. Fruits like apples and bananas are of great help to the mother's physical recovery. Eating more packets of Siwu Decoction can better help the recovery of the uterus.

Many elderly people think that the only thing a woman can eat during the confinement period is chicken and chicken soup. This is an absolutely wrong idea. It will only lead to obesity in the mother, and in more serious cases, chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure will occur. For the sake of the mother's health, she must make rational use of the confinement period to excrete what needs to be excreted and supplement what needs to be supplemented.

The second thing to note for women who have undergone cesarean section during confinement: Physical conditioning needs to be reasonable

There are many unreasonable phenomena in the physical conditioning process of mothers who have undergone caesarean section, especially bed rest during delivery which can lead to pelvic deformity, limb edema and weakness, etc. Also, bad habits such as not being able to take a bath or wash hair for a month must be corrected. Mothers who have undergone cesarean section can take a bath during the confinement period, but they must take a shower and not a tub bath. This will lead to long-term accumulation of bacteria in the body, causing cross-infection of bacteria, and it is easy for the baby to develop various skin diseases.

A cesarean section is like an operation. It will leave a scar on the mother's belly after delivery. The confinement period will be much more painful than a natural birth. People who have undergone cesarean section need to prevent infection and should confine themselves under sterile conditions. All of this is for our mothers and babies to have a healthy living environment and a healthy body.
