After ten months of hard work, the new mother finally welcomes the birth of her little one. New mothers think that after giving birth they are liberated and can relax and rest, but in fact they are not. The 24 hours after the birth of a child is the prime time when accidents and illnesses are most likely to occur. In order that new mothers can recover faster and better, on the first day after giving birth, women must pay attention to their six things. 1, observe the amount of postpartum bleeding According to statistics, about 6% of our mothers have postpartum bleeding due to excessive amniotic fluid, huge babies, placenta praevia, and prolonged labor. For example, weak contraction of the uterus, laceration of the soft birth canal, placenta, fetal membrane residue and other conditions may cause new mothers after delivery can not stop bleeding. Under normal circumstances, a new mother will still bleed a lot about an hour after delivery, which is the residual blood, mucus and other tissues that have not been drained from the uterus. Of course, the bleeding will gradually decrease and the color will change from dark red at the beginning, to pink and finally to brown. This period of postpartum bleeding will last for about 40 days. In the first day after delivery, the new mother should do is to observe whether the amount of bleeding has been reduced, and then prepare some disposable shorts and maternity sanitary napkins, and change them regularly every day to keep them clean. 2, buy time to rest Giving birth is not an easy task, not only mentally suffer from the pull, even physically is also an extreme. The whole process of childbirth will almost always exhaust your new mom’s physical strength, so the most important thing on the first day is to rest to ensure physical recovery. The first thing some pregnant moms do after giving birth is to tweet, send messages, and call friends and family to report the news, and I can only say that these new moms are great! It is important to remind new moms that they should rest before they start breastfeeding their babies. When you start breastfeeding your baby, you will have to nurse about every 3-4 hours, and at the same time you will have to change the baby’s diaper, and when the child cries, the mother will have even less time to sleep, so the mother should get time to rest. 3, as soon as possible to nurse a small baby For the implementation of breastfeeding baby, as soon as possible to nurse, not only for the baby, but also for the new mother later breastfeeding work. When a new mother first breastfeeds her baby, her brain will send signals to increase the secretion of milk, forming a neural reflex to increase the secretion of milk, and the mother-to-be will not need to face the embarrassment of having milk without water. This time, the new mother should eat more food to increase the secretion of milk, such as peanuts in pork feet, fish soup. In addition, new mothers will have a small amount of sticky, slightly yellow milk on the first day after giving birth, which is colostrum. Colostrum contains a lot of antibodies, thus protecting the baby from bacteria, so the baby should be fed colostrum as much as possible to reduce the occurrence of newborn diseases. This is irreplaceable by all milk powder. 4, early urination is more beneficial Whether it is a normal birth or a caesarean section, the first time after delivery toileting will be a very difficult process. Some new moms have difficulty urinating because of bladder injuries or anesthetics during delivery, and some are worried about the stitched wounds, so they don’t even have the idea of going to the bathroom. New moms should know that to avoid complications such as urinary tract infections, they need to urinate within 8 hours after delivery, while bowel movements usually occur several days after delivery. New moms can choose to squat to urinate, so that urine will not pass through the wound site; if urine does not come out, you can open the faucet, or let warm water gently flow through the urethral opening to help relax and stimulate urination; wash the urethral opening with warm water after urination. 5, eat quickly to replenish physical energy Many new moms report that they have no appetite at all after childbirth. But in fact, your weak body is in desperate need of nutrition at this time. Even if you don’t eat anything, you should at least drink some water, otherwise there is a high risk of postpartum dehydration. At the first meal, it is advisable for the new mother to have plenty of carbohydrates, while proteins can quickly repair the body, fresh fruits and vegetables can facilitate diuresis and laxatives, and abundant iron and vitamin C, which helps iron absorption, can help the body recover the blood lost during birth. In addition, when breastfeeding a baby, the bones will lose a lot of calcium, so timely calcium supplementation is also necessary. Some elderly people believe that new mothers cannot take a bath for a month after giving birth, but this view has been outdated for a long time. The new mom is weak after giving birth and needs to ensure the cleanliness of her body to prevent various infections. For example, new mothers sweat a lot after giving birth, even more when they sleep and wake up, and sometimes they can soak their underwear. This time, the new mother should change underwear and bed sheets, the whole room to ventilate, if not let fresh air into the room, the mother in the air dirty room will increase the chances of respiratory infection.
