What are the causes of postpartum anemia?

Some mothers may experience symptoms of anemia during childbirth, which will have a great impact on your postpartum breastfeeding, so we recommend that mothers should pay more attention to their physical conditioning. Postpartum anemia may be caused by the lack of iron during pregnancy, or it may be caused by heavy bleeding due to the degree of delivery. Mothers should eat more nutritious foods to regulate their body during the confinement period.

Excessive blood loss during childbirth can easily cause anemia in new mothers. Severe anemia can affect the new mother's physical recovery and the nutritional health of the baby. The occurrence of postpartum anemia is closely related to the physical condition of the new mother and excessive postpartum bleeding. Severe anemia in new mothers will affect their own recovery and be detrimental to the baby’s breastfeeding, so new mothers should detect and prevent the disease early.

There are generally two reasons for postpartum anemia: one is that there are symptoms of anemia during pregnancy, but they are not improved in time, and the varying degrees of blood loss after delivery aggravate the anemia; the other is that all blood indicators of the pregnant woman during pregnancy are very normal, and postpartum anemia is caused by excessive bleeding during delivery.

Postpartum anemia can cause general fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased resistance. In severe cases, it can also cause symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations, and may cause many complications. Therefore, once anemia is diagnosed, it should be treated promptly.

When a new mother develops anemia after childbirth, her own nutrition cannot be replenished and her body is weak, which can cause insufficient milk secretion. At the same time, the iron content of breast milk decreases, affecting the baby's absorption of nutrients. Generally, for new mothers with severe anemia, breastfeeding often causes their babies to be malnourished and have a decreased resistance, which in turn causes diarrhea and infectious diseases in their babies, affecting their physical and intellectual development and being particularly detrimental to their health.

We all know that every mother is very great. It is not easy for her to bring us into this world, and she may face anemia and lack of sleep after giving birth. I hope you can help mothers relieve stress during this period, and give mothers more foods that are beneficial to milk secretion during breastfeeding.
