How to eat before and after childbirth?

  The family will try to give maternal nutrition, fearing that nutrition can not keep up with the suffering of the mother and baby. However, it is not uncommon to see cases where too much supplementation has caused problems. After the birth of fatty liver, gallstones, gout, no prenatal problems but one by one out of the run.  After the birth of the month to make up too much to make up a “nutritional disease” Case 1: two months after birth or pot belly under the supervision of the mother-in-law, 32-year-old new mother Yu Lan from the day after the birth of a child, every day have to eat a sesame oil chicken. For two months in a row, almost 60 chickens were eaten. Yu Lan found that her weight not only did not drop, but also grew a few pounds, and her body still looked like she was pregnant. When walking with her husband in the neighborhood, she was asked by others “concerned”: soon to be born, right? The company was embarrassed. When you go to the hospital for a checkup, Yu Lan found that he had a fatty liver and gallstones!  Case 2: The milk is also supplemented with gout Xiao Qin’s milk has not been very good after childbirth, in order to let the baby eat enough nutritious milk, Xiao Qin almost every day a big bowl of squid chicken stew. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. Six months later, Xiao Qin vaguely felt that her whole body joints often feel pain, a little better during the daytime activities, but at night it was like pins and needles, and had to constantly turn over. The doctor, after diagnosing Xiao Qin’s symptoms, told her she had postpartum gout.  Excess nutrition keeps weight off for a long time, and for maternity, supplementation is needed. “But there are still many people who have the misconception that they must take a big tonic during the month, believing that this way the mother can get her body well and have abundant milk.” Professor Jin Xianchun, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Xinqiao Hospital of the Third Military Medical University, said that some mothers not only eat large fish and meat every day, but even five or six eggs.  Professor Jin Xianchun said that the maternal activity after childbirth itself is less, the gastrointestinal function slowed down, the body’s metabolism is slower. If you eat a lot of tonic immediately after giving birth, the maternal fat before the month itself is absorbed quickly, eat too much nutrition will be more fat, and the body is weak maternal and not subject to tonic, but lead to a large number of metabolic products accumulate in the body, causing metabolic dysfunction.  Generally speaking, after the birth of a child, the fastest weight loss is the first three months. If this period, maternal weight, body shape is still maintained at the level of pregnancy, indicating excess nutrition, need to adjust the diet in a timely manner.  Single supplementation aggravates the body’s burden Professor Jin Xianchun said that the reason why fatty liver, gallstones and gout appear after childbirth is related to too much single food supplementation. “The caloric intake of oil and sesame chicken is many times higher than the normal diet, and with less maternal exercise, calories accumulate faster and weight easily rises. And the occurrence of gout is related to high uric acid, a large intake of purine-containing seafood, the body metabolism and not in time, over time gout came.”  In fact, the monthly nutrition is enough, can be judged from the milk. If the milk is sufficient, it proves that the nutrition is sufficient. If there is not enough milk, it is necessary to make up some warm soup to promote milk secretion under the premise of balanced nutrition. Professor Jin Xianchun suggests that mothers can choose pig’s feet soup, soybean and seaweed soup, carp soup, lactating pigeon soup, etc. You can also add some angelica, astragalus and cinnamon. The main focus is on drinking soup, which is more easily absorbed. Professor Jin Xianchun reminded: “Some mothers seldom eat vegetables, which is not right. A variety of vegetables should be eaten every day after childbirth, which can strengthen resistance and prevent constipation.”  Professor Jin Xianchun said that during the breastfeeding period, fatty liver and gout will be relieved as long as the diet is adjusted and the weight is reduced through exercise. If the gout condition is serious, it can be treated by Chinese medicine to avoid further development.
