Confinement is a period that women in China must go through. Because pregnant women lose a lot of blood and exhaust a lot of physical energy during delivery, they cannot resume work immediately after childbirth, and it takes a period of confinement to resume normal life. The purpose of confinement is to avoid infection , Through recuperation, restore physical fitness and health.

Many people think that confinement is only a month, that is, 30 days, but in fact this is wrong. In rural areas before liberation, it was considered that the time of confinement was one month after childbirth. After a month of postpartum rest, all were recovered. Women had to participate in manual labor. Many elderly women suffered from uterine prolapse and other diseases. Mostly, it may be related to the lack of post-natal rest. After liberation, the party and government were very concerned about the health of women and children, and the state formulated the Maternal and Child Protection Law. The post-natal rest period for women is set at 56 days.

Medically speaking, confinement is called the puerperium in medical textbooks, and the normal postpartum repair is 42 days. Modern medical textbooks clearly stipulate that the puerperium period refers to the period of adjustment and recovery of the body, reproductive organs and psychological aspects of the fetus and placenta after delivery, and it takes 6 to 8 weeks, that is, 42 to 56 days. During the 6-8 week period of confinement, the parturient should take rest mainly, especially bed rest within 15 days after giving birth, adjust the body and promote the recovery of all organs of the whole body, especially the reproductive organs.

That is to say, when the parturient is self-healing after giving birth, she should rest for at least 15 days to recover her physical strength and adjust her body.

But the current confinement center offers 26 days, 35 days, 42 days, and 56 days respectively. Is the 26-day confinement enough? The confinement period also depends on the needs of the mother. It is possible for a young mother with good physical strength to be energetic after a week of giving birth.

From the actual recovery situation, as long as the post-natal care is appropriate, it is also possible to sit for only 30 days in confinement. As long as the mother sleeps well in 30 days, has no mental stress, has no problems with the baby, and the mother recovers well in body and mind, and also learns how to take the baby the basic way, in fact, 30 days of confinement is enough.

After being in hospital for 5 days, he went to confinement center for confinement after discharge, after 20 days of rest, diet, nursing, and postpartum recovery. It is not difficult to restore the prenatal figure and condition in about 30 days. Access to professional confinement care and care is the most important.

Youbao mother will choose 42 days, 56 days, this is the individual needs, it may be because the mother does not have scientific eating habits and exercise after returning home, the body recovery will be slower. Simply stay longer in the confinement center to ensure better care and better recovery.
