Women have strict requirements for their body shape, and they all want to have a perfect figure. However, after pregnancy, their body shape is inevitably distorted, which not only endangers women's mental health, but also affects family harmony. Especially for mothers who give birth naturally, it is an undeniable fact that their pelvic bones will become larger. So, how long does it take for the pelvic bones to become wider during vaginal delivery to recover?
During pregnancy, due to the continuous enlargement of the uterus and the influence of hormones in the body, the pelvic ligaments will separate, causing the pelvic bone to widen. It will recover approximately 3-6 months after vaginal delivery. If the fetal enlargement causes severe widening, it cannot be restored on its own and requires professional postpartum rehabilitation exercises to recover, which may take 6-12 months.
Many novice mothers will learn from their predecessors' methods for pelvic recovery. During confinement, using a corset can have a certain corrective effect. The corset should be worn half an hour after meals and should not exceed 8 hours per day. Choose a suitable mattress that is moderately soft and hard, neither too hard nor too soft, otherwise pelvic tilt may occur. You can choose to sleep on your side to reduce pelvic pressure.
You can also do some exercise to promote pelvic bone recovery. Pelvic exercises: The parturient is in a semi squat position, with legs slightly bent forward and feet separated by 60 centimeters, with both hands crossed over the waist. Start inhaling while pushing the pelvis forward, exhale to restore the pelvis to its original position, and try to move the hips back as much as possible. Repeat this practice 10 times a day, depending on your physical condition, and do more exercises.
