It is said that a woman has a baby like walking in the gate of hell. Many mothers say, I think having a baby is definitely the most painful when giving birth, but who knows that after giving birth, it is the beginning of all kinds of pain. Taking care of the baby day and night, all kinds of inner anxiety that cannot be released, and all kinds of unexpected embarrassment caused by the failure of postpartum body to repair in time (the belly is still like a few months pregnant after giving birth, and leaks urine after sneezing, etc.), all of which make many mothers very upset.
Some time ago, many mothers talked to me about postpartum repair. Postpartum repair has been no longer a secret in recent years. Some information about postpartum repair can be received on various websites or confinement centers. However, many mothers also reported that the statements of each repair center are different, and some mothers even spent money, but they didn't seem to find any major improvements in the end.
Many old fans know that my second child is in the confinement center and is also a benefit of postpartum repair. I have to say that postpartum recovery is really a science. If both the economy and conditions allow, there will definitely be a professional organization to assist you, which will be safer and more effective. If you are repairing at home, it is best to do it under the guidance of professionals. Let’s talk about the order in which postpartum repair should be followed!
1. Psychological repair
Is this ignored by many people? It is indeed very critical! After the mother experienced painful delivery, the estrogen suddenly dropped and her body was tired. She just switched roles to take care of the baby, and her time spent on herself was greatly reduced. In addition, there are also reasons why some psychological disorders cannot be resolved in time. New mothers often feel wronged and even cry because of the dissatisfaction of trivial matters. These discomforts occur within one week of delivery and can recover on their own, but some may develop postpartum depression . Therefore, it is very important for the family to give the new mother enough understanding, care, considerate and care, especially for the husband to make more efforts during this period, to create an environment for the wife to be in a happy mood and adapt to the recovery of his wife's body, and to successfully pass the puerperal period, which is also the happiness of the whole family.
At the same time, the psychological adjustment of mothers after giving birth is also extremely critical. When you encounter unhappy things, you can find more friends or mothers from some mother groups to share and communicate, and you will be much more relaxed and enlightened.
2. Pelvic floor muscle repair
First of all, we need to understand pelvic floor muscle is not a muscle, but is like a net, controlling our bladder . The urethra, bladder, uterus and other devices are tightly hung by this "net" to maintain a normal position in order to exercise its functions. Therefore, the pelvic floor muscle is very important, because once this net becomes loose, many organ functions of the mother's body will be affected. Whether it is , , or cesarean section, it will make the pelvic floor muscles looser, and the older you are, the more obvious it will be. If the pelvic floor muscles are loose, it will have a lot of impact on the body. Just like the sneeze I mentioned above, it may urinary incontinence , and it may also cause various gynecological diseases.
PS: The pelvic floor muscle and the pelvis have a mutual promotion effect and can be repaired at the same time.
3. Pelvic repair
According to statistics, nearly half of the married and children in my country have pelvic floor dysfunction to varying degrees. After ten months of pregnancy, the pelvis will change to varying degrees. Since 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, the body of pregnant mothers will begin to secrete a large amount of relaxin, so our joint ligaments begin to change. As the baby enters the pelvis and gives birth, the changes in the pelvis will be even greater. This will cause obvious changes in the body after giving birth: low back pain, widening hips, protruding lower abdomen, bigger and flat buttocks, distorted figure, and mother's buttocks. Therefore, postpartum pelvic repair is also a repair that needs to be paid attention to.
If the mother does not repair her pelvis in time and goes to exercise, she may become more and more "miscuous".Because the individual's way of exerting force is still the way of exerting force that he has been used to for more than ten or twenty years, and the pelvis changes greatly after giving birth, and exercising according to the previous way of exercising force will cause harm, so don't blindly exercising force yourself. It is best to exercise with professional guidance. If you have professional evaluation, you don’t need to consider doing this repair if you have a score of 80 or above.
4. rectus abdominal muscle repair
When pregnancy, especially in the late stage of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will expand and extend the abdominal wall, and the rectus abdominal muscles on both sides will separate from the midline of the abdomen - that is, the position of white line to both sides. Under normal circumstances, the abdominal wall will gradually recover after delivery, and the rectus abdominal muscle will move closer to the midline. Usually, it will return to its original position in half a year to one year. The rectus abdominal muscle still cannot return to its original position after delivery is called Postpartum rectus abdominal muscle isolation .
Self-test method for rectus abdominal separation
1. Lying flat on the bed, bent your legs to expose your abdomen;
2. Use force on the abdomen, hold your breath, and slowly lift your head and shoulders off the bed.
3. Press your fingers downwards a area above the navel, and you can feel the abdominal muscles on both sides squeezing your fingers in the middle. At this time, you can use your fingers to measure the width of the muscles on both sides.
Of course, after professional examination and evaluation, if the rectus abdominal separation is within 2 fingers, you don’t need to do this repair project.
Seeing this, many mothers think that rectus abdomen repair is just a simple exercise of sitting ups, crunches and other abdominal shaping. Isn’t this the case with many online video tutorials? Remember! Moms must pay attention to postpartum rehabilitation training does not mean physical exercise! If you start abdominal shaping exercises (curls, sit-ups, planks ) before the rectus abdominal muscle is completely closed, it is easy to aggravate rectus abdominal muscle separation! Friendly reminder, it is important to master the correct postpartum recovery method!
Finally, let’s give you a brief summary:
1. Repair order: psychological repair, body repair, pelvic floor muscle repair & pelvic repair, and then rectus abdomen repair.
2. The pelvic and pelvic floor repair can be performed simultaneously after delivery, and the two have a positive effect of mutual promotion.
3. Careful care should be given to rectus abdomen repair and abdominal shaping. It is not too late to do it after the pelvic floor muscle strength is ≥3.
. Do you all know about the sharing today? Here, I still want to say something about the postpartum body repair project: You may hear a lot of very fantasy and expensive. In addition to the three mentioned in the article (pelvic floor muscle repair/pelvic repair/rectomy abdominal muscle repair), there is no need to spend these in vain money like sweating in full moon and meridian clearance. Of course, if you say that I think it is useful to do these projects, and if conditions permit, and you are willing to do so, then that's not right! Everyone is welcome to leave more messages and communicate!
