Restoration after childbirth
The postpartum period lasts about 8 weeks. How faster come back after childbirth. Restrictions in sex. How to establish an intestine
Postpartum obstetrician-gynecologists call the period of the final involution of organs and systems, t.E. Their reverse development. The fruit in the mother’s womb pushed and dismissed the internal organs, and immediately after childbirth, the woman’s body begins to come back.
There are different approaches to the definition, how many internal organs are restored after delivery. From the point of view of gynecology, it takes about 8 weeks.
Fit organs and uterus
The first day after the generation of the uterus is quickly reduced in size and in mass. A week later, the body becomes twice as smaller, and after 6-8 weeks it returns to the former weight and size.
To the uterus faster recovered, the action of the hormone oxytocin is required, which is produced during breastfeeding kid. If a woman does not breastfeed, a doctor can assign oxytocin in injections.
Help and simple massage of the uterus. You can do it yourself. To do this, lying on the back to relax the stomach, then grope your fingers on the stomach just below the navel top of the uterus. Gently and shallow stroking, you need to move it up, moving towards the center of the abdomen.
Postpartum allocations and menstruation
Blood selection after childbirth (Lochi) lasts the entire postpartum period – about 6 weeks. So far, the uterus has not been reduced, in it can easily get pathogenic bacteria, therefore thorough genital hygiene is very important. You can use special postpartum gaskets that are perfectly coping with abundant discharge. Gaskets are better to change frequently, every 2 hours.
Menstruation is restored after a month and a half, provided that the mother refused to breastfeeding. Nursing women can expect monthly after six months. Gradually, the menstrual cycle is adjusted and is less painful than childbirth.
Resume sexual relations
Hormonal system and mammary glands intensively work the entire period of lactation.
At the same time, sex, cardiovascular and blood system gradually come to normal.
The vagina returns to its usual state and size 1.5-2 months after delivery. The floor system is restored, and a woman can resume sexual relationships. The full restoration of the body after childbirth requires women constant during this period of contraception.
For the next pregnancy and childbirth, the body will be completely ready only in two years.
We establish the work of the bladder and intestines
The tone of the bladder in the first few days after the birth is reduced, so virtually not felt urge to urination. At the same time, if it is overflowing, it will negatively affect the normal cutting of the uterus and postpartum cleansing. To avoid problems and help the body to establish the work of the bladder, you need to visit the toilet every two or three hours, even if the urges are not.
The disorder of the intestinal work after the birth is due to the fact that the entire period of pregnancy its walls were composed by the developing fruit. After the birth of the intestinal wall expands, and the pelvis muscles have not yet become strong enough for his support.
To solve this problem, it suffices to take some simple recommendations:
Take a warm shower and grow by a towel;- make a light intestinal massage clockwise;
- drink enough liquid per day.
It must be remembered about a diet containing a lot of fiber: apples, zucchini, pumpkin, carrots will help to gently purify the intestines.
After childbirth, the woman must closely monitor well-being, and when making sure to measure the temperature.
The first symptom of most postpartum complications – high temperature.
