How should a pregnant woman take care of herself?

It takes ten months of pregnancy to give birth to a living little life. Mothers consume a lot of physical strength and energy during childbirth. Their qi, blood, muscles and bones are very weak, and they pay a huge price both physically and mentally. Therefore, after childbirth, the baby must be carefully cared for both physically and mentally to avoid being attacked by diseases and to avoid developing illnesses that will cause suffering in old age. Now I will tell you how to take care of yourself after childbirth.

First of all, we need to tell those mothers who are in confinement or are preparing to do so that the idea of ​​not taking a bath or washing your hair during the confinement period is wrong. Because mothers have well-developed sweat glands and sweat easily during the confinement period, washing can achieve the effect of sterilization and avoid infection, and it is also beneficial to the mothers' psychological happiness. But be careful not to wash your hair too frequently.

When taking a bath, the mother can use water with a temperature of about 40 degrees, and it is best to add a cup of medicinal alcohol. Of course, you can also choose to add some medicinal alcohol for disinfection when washing your hair. After washing, dry your hair as soon as possible with a dry towel or hair dryer.

In terms of hygiene, mothers should also pay attention to cleaning the vulva every day, using warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Change underwear and panty liners frequently. No bathing allowed, showering is recommended.

Some people believe that "new mothers should not brush their teeth more often". In response to this view, experts point out that new mothers should brush their teeth once or twice a day during the confinement period. During the confinement period, mothers have to eat a lot of food every day, and these foods contain a lot of sugar and high-protein foods. If they do not brush their teeth, these foods will stay in the teeth for a long time, promoting the growth of bacteria and leading to tooth decalcification.

In addition, new mothers should also pay special attention to their diet. They should not choose food that is too cold and should eat more vegetables and fruits to help them digest and defecate. Drinking more soup can help mothers increase milk content and nutritional supplements.

The above are the conditioning methods for postpartum confinement. Confinement is an important stage for women after childbirth. Only if the confinement is done well can the body and mind be repaired. During the confinement period, mothers should not only pay attention to diet but also pay attention to adjusting their living habits. At the same time, we should also pay attention to hygiene in life to avoid the symptoms of some bacterial infections.
