With the advancement of medical technology, many mothers now choose cesarean section for delivery. This solves many difficult childbirth problems and reduces a lot of mothers' pain, so they don't have to endure the same pain as normal childbirth. However, cesarean section is not like normal childbirth, where the delivery wound heals quickly and takes only two to three days. However, the recovery from cesarean section is relatively slower, and during this recovery period, postpartum care is even more necessary. So, what should pregnant women with cesarean section eat?
Cesarean section is still quite different from normal delivery. Mothers who have had a caesarean section should wait until the gas is released, and they should not eat any food for about six hours before that. After this period of time, only liquid food can be eaten, with a preference for light food. It is best to eat some foods that can help to expel gas, in order to increase intestinal peristalsis and promote the elimination of gases from the body. This can also prevent the abdomen from becoming so bloated. It is also necessary to eat more foods such as legumes to promote excretion in the body and prevent bloating.
During this period, due to the relatively poor absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, it is advisable to eat as little and as many meals as possible, and the amount given per meal should not be too much, just in moderation. She can eat up to five meals a day at most. At the same time, related foods should be rich in nutrients and have sufficient moisture. In terms of diet, the main focus is on the above aspects, while the rest is more on the external environment. We need to maintain a relaxed mood and approach things with optimism.
