Postpartum care of ten misconceptions

First, \"ill wind\"
Many people think that women are afraid of wind, think wind is \"postpartum wind\" (refers to puerperal fever), the chief culprit. Would be closed premises, head hanging curtains, maternal wrapped the head and legs tied, to prevent air attacks, nature wind of what crime? In fact, in the cause of puerperal fever is hidden in the maternal genital pathogenic bacteria, originating from sterilized strict antenatal checks, or maternal attention puerperal health. In fact, if poor indoor environment, air, easy to make maternal, infant suffering from respiratory tract infection; closed in the summer, wrapped head tied legs, also cause maternal heat stroke, it is not desirable.


Second, \"the night out of bed, the better\"
Many people think that maternal Weak more nourishing, let the long-term static horizontal, eat meals are end-to-bed, which do more harm than good. Activities not get up because of longer postpartum, easily occur already at a high State of coagulation of maternal venous thrombosis of lower extremities. At the same time, postpartum pelvic muscle at the bottom of a lack of exercise, are not able to support the uterus, rectum, and bladder, easily lead to uterine prolapse, rectal or cystocele. Early out of bed after delivery activities will not only benefit of lower extremity blood flow fast and Lochia discharge, also can get exercise abdominal muscles, contraction of early resumption of the original, so as to protect the uterus, rectum, and bladder and other organs. In General, a period of 24 hours is by sitting up in bed, the third day will be out of bed to walk.


Third, \"not a shampoo bath\"
Many places, especially rural, has a habit of maternity after the full moon to a shampoo and bath. This is not desirable. As to the age for women during childbirth, postpartum and often sweating, and hang-over continuous discharges and lactation, the body easier than most people are dirty, more vulnerable to pathogen intrusion. Therefore, postpartum should also pay attention to personal hygiene. Often shampoo bath, but note that the use of showers, not washing bath. Summer, should use warm water washing once a day.


Four, \"should avoid certain food\"
Many places have let women avoid certain food habits, such as beef and mutton, fish and shrimp and other smelling of fish or mutton are not allowed to eat. Postpartum need adequate and abundant nutrients, primary non-staple food should be diversified, eat only one or two cannot meet the needs of the maternal body, is not conducive to secretion of the mammary gland.


Five, \"\" light dishes, the better \"
Many places do not allow women to eat salt, food salt is also not a bit-and-drop, this is not right. Due to the sweating after childbirth, breast secretion strong, maternal body likely to lack of water and sodium salts; therefore, postpartum should not eat less salt, but should not eat too much salt.


Six, \"not brush my teeth\"
Many women in confinement do not brush your teeth, which is also wrong. In fact, the women than the average person should pay attention to oral hygiene. Due to maternal eating more often, food particles leave the surface of the teeth, and teeth, there are more opportunities for, and oral infection is one of the sources of puerperal infection. Therefore, a day early and late to postpartum brush teeth, to rinse your mouth after every meal.


Seven, \"soup than meat nutrition\"
After the puerperal should often have some chicken soup and sparerib soup, fish soup and Trotter soup, in the interest of lactation, but also to eat meat. Meat is much more abundant than the soup of nutrition, the kind of \"soup more nutritious than meat\" is not science.


Eight, \"eat the egg, the more the better\"
Egg nutrition rich and easy to digest, for maternal eating, but not to eat, the more the better. There are many maternal ten or twenty a day, not only can not absorb, will also affect other types of food intake.


Ninth, \"after a period of 24 hours open milk\"
Started only after a period of 24 hours in some areas to neonatal nursing habits, think open milk as early as well. On the contrary, opening milk as soon as possible. By baby sucking nipples can promote the secretion of breast milk, and it helps uterine contractions, uterine reverted as soon as possible. At the same time, early neonatal and early detection are nutrient-rich milk, can be described as \"three\".


Ten, \"full moon to restore sexual life\"
Because people are accustomed to full recovery of the full moon as the maternal body standards. Therefore, some of the first full moon on the restoration of a husband and wife living, it is done too early. Because labor is on endometrium and vaginal wall caused by the loss in 4 weeks is not completely healed. Experts believe that postpartum 6-8 weeks of recovery is the safety of life.
