What to expect on your first postpartum period

Menstruation is menstruation, and the things you need to pay attention to when you have your first period after giving birth include resting properly, paying attention to personal hygiene, adjusting your diet, and observing the vaginal bleeding.
1. Proper rest: When you have your first period after giving birth, you should pay attention to rest, avoid late nights, hard work and strenuous exercise, and also pay attention to keeping warm to avoid catching cold.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene: pay extra attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, keep the vulva clean, change underwear and sanitary products, and prohibit sexual intercourse.
3. Adjust your diet: During menstruation, you should increase your diet and eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins.
4. Observe the situation of vaginal bleeding: when menstruation resumes after delivery, due to the unstable hormone levels in the body, the amount of menstruation may increase or decrease, which generally does not require special treatment. The amount of menstruation may return to normal after 2-3 more periods.
