There are two well-known ways to give birth after ten months of pregnancy: natural vaginal delivery and cesarean section. After a cesarean section, there are also many precautions to be taken. The gastrointestinal motility function has not fully recovered after childbirth, so the food intake may appear slightly picky. What is good to eat and what should not be eaten?
Can I eat bananas after a cesarean section
1. Bananas can be eaten, as they contain a large amount of fiber and iron, which have the function of promoting bowel movements and nourishing blood. Mothers often prefer to rest in bed, have poor gastrointestinal motility, and often experience constipation.
2. In addition, there is a lot of postpartum blood loss, which requires blood supplementation. Iron is one of the main raw materials for hematopoiesis, so mothers who eat more bananas can prevent postpartum constipation and anemia. Pregnant women consume more iron, and there is also more iron in their milk and sweat, which can help prevent infant anemia to some extent.
Dietary precautions after cesarean section
1. Fasting and water deprivation within 6 hours after surgery.
2. If there is no exhaust for 6 hours after surgery, you can eat warm water to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. Only after exhaust can you eat. Do not consume common foods such as boiled eggs, stir fried dishes, meat chunks, rice, etc. during the period of no exhaust. Do not consume sweet foods such as chocolate, brown sugar water, sweet fruit juice, and milk to avoid bloating.
3. After exhaust, you can eat any food, but you should follow the advanced liquid and semi liquid foods, and gradually move towards soft and solid foods. In order to promote milk secretion and reduce postpartum constipation, postpartum women should also drink more soup and juice, eat more vegetables and fruits, take care of themselves after childbirth, and recover after childbirth.
Cesarean section, as a type of surgery, also carries the associated risks of the procedure. So after a cesarean section, mothers should pay more attention to their physical condition. If any abnormalities are found, they should promptly report to the attending doctor and follow the doctor's instructions. They should get out of bed and move around appropriately, slowly adjust their physical condition, and recover as soon as possible.
