What to do if you are uncomfortable after pregnancy

After pregnancy, many people will experience nausea and vomiting and other symptoms of early pregnancy, which will be more comfortable after early pregnancy, but many people will still have one kind of discomfort or another. Nausea and vomiting: mainly occurs in early pregnancy, most people will get better after 3-4 months, but a few people will have nausea and vomiting until the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Most people do not need special treatment, but they should eat small meals and a light diet. If the vomiting is severe, you can try to drink thicker ginger soup, or X-mouth cola (please note, not X-factor cola), this remedy will work for some people. If the vomiting is quite severe, you will need to be hospitalized. Some people do not have nausea and vomiting after pregnancy, but their tastes will become very strange and they will have a strong desire to definitely eat something strange. As long as these strange and weird things do not affect her health when she eats them, let’s satisfy her. Edema: When you enter the middle and late stages of pregnancy, many people will have swollen hands or feet. Some people do not have obvious edema, but when they wake up in the morning, they will find that their fingers are swollen and uncomfortable and cannot be bent. This is mostly caused by hidden edema. Move your fingers more and they will be fine after a while. For mothers-to-be with obvious edema, in addition to elevating the feet with pillows at night, you can also try to drink diuretic winter melon soup and light soy milk according to Chinese medicine, which can sometimes be useful. Insomnia: After pregnancy, many mothers-to-be suffer from insomnia and are unable to sleep, which is painful but there is really no good solution. It is generally not recommended to take sleeping pills. You can try soaking your feet in hot water before bed, drinking milk, or using some herbs to help you sleep. This kind of insomnia is often temporary, and will be fine after the birth of a child. Even if you can’t recover automatically, your baby will cure your insomnia, because TA is like a little alarm clock that wakes you up every 3-4 hours to drink milk, then you will fall asleep after feeding the baby, and some people even fall asleep while feeding. Rash, eczema: This is what Chinese medicine calls “fetal qi”, sometimes accompanied by itching, you go to the dermatologist, the TA will mostly give you a stove glycerin lotion, refused to give you hormonal creams or oral medication. In fact, if the eczema is serious, you can apply a small amount of topical cream containing low concentration of glucocorticoids, which will not affect the fetus. Wrist pain: mainly tendon sheath or nerve compression pain caused by occult edema, there is no good treatment during pregnancy, most of them will be fine after delivery, a few people who continue to have pain can look for Chinese medicine. Abdominal discomfort: “some pain here, some pain there”. It’s okay, most of them are caused by the enlargement of the uterus pulling on the peritoneal ligament. If it is progressively worse, or if the pain is clearly localized in the same place, further detailed examination by a doctor is needed. Low back pain: After pregnancy, the level of estrogen and progesterone increases significantly, which can lead to laxity of ligaments in certain areas and sometimes small displacement or misalignment of joints, resulting in low back pain or other joint pain. Also, an enlarged uterus can increase the strain on the ligaments in the lower back, causing discomfort. The solution is to do some appropriate stretching of the lumbar region or joints, and appropriate local massage will also help. Leg cramps: Part of the reason is calcium deficiency, and part of the reason is poor blood flow. Pay attention to the intake of adequate amounts of calcium after the middle of pregnancy, moderate exercise and local massage will also be of some help. Frequent urination: Especially in the evening, you often have to get up at night. It is mainly caused by the enlarged uterus pressing forward on the bladder after entering the middle of pregnancy, but it will be better when the uterus increases upward mainly in the late stage. Vaginal discharge: normal pregnancy performance, if accompanied by obvious itching, odor, or beanbag-like leucorrhea, further examination is needed. After pregnancy, the vaginal environment changes under the effect of estrogen and progesterone, and vaginal fungal infections can easily occur. For those with obvious symptoms, they can be treated with class B antifungal drugs. Fast heartbeat, chest tightness, dizziness: After entering the middle and late stages of pregnancy, more blood flow is perfused into the uterus and the mother-to-be is prone to hypotension syndrome, often related to body position. There is also a tendency to develop hypoglycemia. It is important to note that: you should not fast for too long; take your time when changing positions, not too fast; do not stay too long in places with poor air circulation. To sum up: 1, it is normal to be uncomfortable when you are pregnant, few people are uncomfortable before they are pregnant and become comfortable after they are pregnant, this chance is smaller than the probability of winning the lottery. 2, this discomfort is a normal “abnormal”, most do not need drug treatment. If treatment is needed, Chinese herbal medicine is the main reason, because these problems after pregnancy are mainly “symptoms”, not “diseases”. The treatment of the “disease” is the specialty of Chinese herbal medicine, but there is nothing good about western medicine. 3, if the symptoms worsen during pregnancy, affecting normal work and life, you need to see the appropriate specialist.
