When caring for a woman who has undergone a cesarean section, keep these in mind!

Everyone knows that after a cesarean section, the degree of damage to the body is actually greater than that of a natural birth, so the mother needs to be well cared for after delivery, and the wound must be kept in case of inflammation or infection. Family members of mothers who undergo caesarean section need to take good care of the mother, such as wound care, diet adjustment, preventing cold, etc., so that the body can recover faster.

Caesarean section maternity care

After giving birth, in addition to the joy of being a mother, new mothers should also pay attention to the maintenance of their bodies after childbirth, especially new mothers who have a caesarean section. Caesarean section is different from ordinary delivery, and more attention needs to be paid to nursing. Scientific nursing can make the body recover faster. So how should mothers who have a caesarean section be cared for?

1. After a cesarean section, the mother will lose a lot of energy and her body will still be relatively weak. Therefore, when she is pushed back to the ward, she should try to rest as much as possible and recuperate. After a good rest and when she feels better, she should sit up and move around moderately, because this can help blood circulation in the lower limbs. Lying down for a long time may affect blood circulation in the lower limbs and easily cause inflammation.

2. In terms of wound care, wipe off sweat in time to keep the wound dry and clean. Do not tear the wound if it is hardened, and do not scratch the wound.

3. In terms of diet, do not eat within 6 hours after cesarean section. Secondly, after 6 hours, the mother can choose to eat liquid food, such as thin rice porridge, fish soup, etc., but be careful not to eat foods that are easy to cause gas, such as soybeans and other soy products.

4. Mothers will sweat a lot after giving birth. They should wipe it dry with a dry towel and change their clothes frequently if they are wet to prevent cold.

How to do recovery exercises after cesarean section

After giving birth, many new mothers are anxious to regain their figure as soon as possible, but the recovery process cannot be rushed, otherwise it will be counterproductive, especially for mothers who have had a caesarean section. If they exercise before the wound has healed, it will tear the wound and cause wound infection.
