Pregnancy and childbirth are significant events in life, but their impact on women's physiology and psychology cannot be ignored. Postpartum recovery is particularly important. If not taken care of properly, it will leave behind sequelae, and by then it will be too late to regret. So how to take care of vaginal delivery?
Firstly, it is important for postpartum women to adjust their mentality and have a positive mindset. During the postpartum period, family members should communicate more with the mother and understand her thoughts. The mother has just given birth to a baby and her hormones are still unstable, which may cause significant emotional fluctuations. Family members should understand more. Husband should try to share more household chores and help take care of the baby with his wife as much as possible. At the same time, postpartum women should also engage in outdoor activities such as taking walks, breathing fresh air, exercising cardiovascular function, and promoting body metabolism.
The puerpera should also keep the wound clean and dry: within 3 days after the operation, the hospital will take perfect cleaning measures and use disinfection lotion to clean the vulva. If a lateral incision is used, the vulva needs to be cleaned with water or lotion every day. Pregnant women should use safe hygiene products and replace them in a timely manner to keep them dry.
Choose side sleeping: When a pregnant woman sleeps in bed, it is best to lie on the side without perineal wounds. Mothers must remember not to lift heavy objects or engage in any physical labor or exercise within one month after giving birth. Premature and excessive physical activity can cause damage to pelvic floor tissues and even lead to uterine prolapse in old age.
