Introduction.
Pregnant women must go through a long process after giving birth, and during this period they must do a good job of keeping warm. Although with the advancement of science and technology, people have questioned some traditional "confinement" Xi customs, but some places still need to be "covered" to avoid physical problems caused by cold. This article will detail the four important areas to look out for in the postpartum period and explain their importance.
Head: The baby's mother will wear a "pink" headdress.
During the month after giving birth, the head is the most susceptible to colds. Because the mother's constitution is weak and the resistance is poor, it is easy to cause headache and dysmenorrhea after confinement. So, it's important to protect your head. If there is heating in the room, you can do without a hat, which will cause sweating and cold. In outdoor or low temperature situations, it is necessary to bring a hat.
In addition, proper brain massage can also accelerate blood circulation and metabolism in the brain, which is helpful for hair growth and scalp health. You can also apply some soothing head and face on the head to relieve tension, help you fall asleep, and achieve a relaxation effect.
Neck and shoulders: more attention should be paid to warmth.
The neck and shoulders are also a place to avoid colds. Although it is not easy to detect immediately, it can cause symptoms such as frozen shoulder and shoulder and neck pain as you age. Therefore, women must pay attention to rest more after giving birth, and pay attention to covering their necks, and do not let themselves be exposed to a cold environment for a long time. When you're at home, wear comfortable dressing gowns and keep your body warm. When resting, don't sit in one position for a long time, especially when playing with your mobile phone, you must adjust your body in time to avoid too much pressure on your neck and shoulders.
In addition to this, it is important to ensure good body posture as well as good sitting posture, which is also very important for the neck and shoulders. In particular, primiparous mothers spend a lot of time breastfeeding, and if the body position is not right, it is likely to cause neck and shoulder discomfort. Therefore, during breastfeeding, it is necessary to choose a comfortable position, choose appropriate pillows and soft cushions to reduce the pressure on your baby.
Waist: Pay attention to the health care of the waist.
In today's society, low back pain in adolescents is getting worse and worse. Sitting for long periods of time and lack of exercise can cause low back pain. Women must pay attention to the protection of their waist after giving birth. In addition, symptoms such as backache may occur, which has a great impact on recovery and normal life.
First, don't stay in one position for too long and exercise as much as possible. You can do some waist exercises, such as waist circles, waist extensions, etc. In addition, it is also a good idea to wear some waist insulation equipment. A belt or a warm compress on the waist can achieve a certain effect.
On this basis, with a reasonable diet and appropriate exercise, it can help to recover from low back pain. After giving birth, you can do more pelvic floor muscle exercises, abdominal contractions and other exercises to help the mother recover.
Feet: Start with your feet and keep them warm.
As the saying goes, "cold begins with the feet", and the warmth of the feet is a key to the whole body. During childbirth, wear socks as much as possible and do not go barefoot. Soaking your feet in warm water every day can not only reduce fatigue and invigorate your spirits, but also have a certain thermal insulation effect on your body. Chinese herbs or essential oils can be added to the boiling water, which can play a better role.
In addition, a proper foot massage is also good. Massage on several acupuncture points on the feet can speed up the blood flow of the human body and reduce the soreness and tiredness of the feet. You can use the massage on your feet to relieve pressure and at the same time promote blood flow in your feet.
Brief summary. Since mothers are highly susceptible to external factors during childbirth, they should pay special attention to these four parts during childbirth to avoid physical discomfort or disease. Be extra careful with your head, neck, shoulders, waist, and feet to avoid catching a cold.
Everyone's physique is different, so the time of confinement is also different. However, in any case, we still have to learn from traditional thinking and have an active means of defense to ensure our physical health. As long as we take good care of these key parts, we can better meet the challenges of the future.
Postpartum recovery is a difficult process, but it's worth it. After understanding the rationality of certain Xi practices, we will better understand and respect the legacy of our elders. Only by taking the initiative and taking care of you can we get through this special time safely and ensure the health of you and your baby. Therefore, let's keep these four places in mind, and during this period, carry out scientific "confinement" to take care of ourselves and lay a good foundation for future health.
