Is confinement disease so scary?

Is confinement disease so scary?

When I saw this question, I remembered some people I saw on some platforms asking why foreigners don’t have to confinement, but Chinese people do? Let's put it this way, I don't know whether foreigners can take confinement period, but if we don't do confinement period, it will be really troublesome.

Confinement is actually the puerperium period, because women’s bodies are relatively weak after giving birth. Taking a good rest during this period can help the body recover faster, including uterine recovery. The puerperium period is generally six weeks, which is 42 days. , and our confinement period usually only lasts for 30 days. We often hear people talking about confinement disease, so what is confinement disease? The so-called confinement disease is actually the various discomforts that women suffer during postpartum period because they are not "repaired", such as low back pain, headaches, etc. Back to our topic, is confinement disease so scary?

Observe the situation of women around you. If you suffer from confinement syndrome during confinement, it would be really scary.

Relative A: Because the baby’s father has to go to work, he took care of the baby by himself for 12 days after delivery, including washing, cooking, and bathing the baby. allow.

Friend B: She gave birth to twins. She had no appetite at all after delivery and could not eat anything. However, the baby got sick during the confinement period, and she had to take the baby to see a doctor, which took more than half a month. Now I see that my friend is walking lightly, his appetite is still not good at all, he can last a whole day with just a few mouthfuls of food, his complexion is also yellow, he has seen many doctors, and he is still recuperating.

Telling me about myself, I suffered from headaches during my first confinement period. I couldn’t blow the wind on my head, and it hurt whenever I blew it. I paid more attention when my second child was in confinement. I did a better job of keeping warm and my headaches were gone. But the baby is difficult to carry, and I have to hold it a lot, so I have a lot of problems with it. My hands are sore and numb. My hands will swell and hurt until I wake up in the middle of the night. When I get up in the morning, I can’t make a fist with my hands, and I can’t use chopsticks to eat completely. Finish a meal (use a spoon instead). When the baby is older, you can't pick it up with your wrists at all. You have to wrap the baby with two hands to pick it up. Anyway, it feels like one pair of hands is useless.

I believe there are many mothers who have this experience, because they did not recover well after giving birth and suffered from all kinds of pain. On the contrary, those who hire a confinement nanny or live in a confinement center really sleep well and eat well during confinement, and have nothing to worry about after delivery.

So, no matter whether it is a postpartum disease or not, it is actually caused by being tired and catching a cold during the confinement period.

During pregnancy, you already have to put in a lot of effort physically and mentally to provide food and drink for the fetus and ensure its nutrition. Postpartum is the time when the problem is the weakest, and you need time to recuperate. If you can't take a good rest at this time, how can you recover well? Therefore, it is very reasonable to say that the face will be radiant after sitting in confinement. So what should you pay attention to during confinement?

As someone who has experienced this, Lazy Mom feels that mothers should really pay more attention during the confinement period and try their best to recover their bodies. After all, raising a baby is a big plan and it is not completed after confinement. , there will still be a long period of time that requires mother's efforts, and taking good care of one's own body is fundamental.

The first point is to be lazy and rest more

After childbirth, the body is weak and the mother needs more rest. Taking care of the child is the most sleep-deprived, especially when her physical strength has not recovered. Lie down as much as possible, and just get up and walk from time to time. Don't stay in the same position for a long time, even if you are breastfeeding, otherwise you will easily suffer from back pain, hand pain, heel pain, etc.

As for the baby's other housework, you can try not to do it. Don't have the mentality of doing nothing by yourself. You must know that the baby in confinement needs to feed once every two hours. Breastfeeding cannot be replaced by others. It is hard enough.

Of course, if your physical strength can keep up, you can do appropriate activities indoors. This depends on your own needs.

Second point, pay attention to heat preservation

Think about the people in the past who wore thick cotton clothes and hats during confinement, and their whole bodies were wrapped tightly. Isn’t it very strange? ridiculous? Lazy Mom feels that although the method is a bit excessive, the direction is good.

During the confinement period, mothers must do a good job of keeping warm in all aspects. Whether washing their hair or bathing or on windy or rainy days, they must ensure that they do not catch cold. Do not wear wet clothes. It is best to wear long clothes and long trousers, and try not to expose your skin to the air.

Of course, the room does not need to be closed tightly, and the air needs to be exchanged appropriately, but care should be taken to prevent the entry of wind.

The third point is to learn to save strength

For mothers to learn to save strength, it does not mean that strength can really be retained and stored, but that mothers should not use force casually during confinement. , even when going to the toilet, you shouldn’t exert so much force. Because if the mother exerts too much force, it may cause the uterus to protrude, it may also cause the wound to dehiscence, or cause damage to a certain part.

Don’t lift heavy objects during the confinement period. Put aside water and other things first. In short, for mothers, anything heavier than the baby is called heavy objects, so just don’t mention it. .

The fourth point is to be kind to yourself in terms of diet

Although the body is relatively weak after childbirth, it is not advisable to take a lot of supplements. You should pay attention to your diet, but you cannot blindly eat clear soups with little water. Don't be too greasy (easy to block milk and gain weight), don't be too spicy (will change the quality of milk), try to be easy to digest and nutritious.

You should also eat more foods rich in dietary fiber to avoid constipation during the confinement period. In addition to the above, mothers should also maintain proper hygiene during confinement.

In general, confinement diseases are quite scary. Elderly people say that confinement diseases can only be cured during confinement, otherwise they will easily follow you throughout your life. During the confinement period, the mother should pay more attention to her body. Only after she has recovered can she continue to fight for her baby.
