1. Early postpartum activity

Getting up and moving around as soon as possible after a caesarean section can help with pelvic recovery and relieve pubic pain. Within 1 to 2 days after a caesarean section, the new mother must eat and go to the toilet in bed. If the mother is in good physical condition, some mothers can get out of bed and move around about 24 hours after the cesarean section. Getting out of bed and moving around as early as possible can also help intestinal peristalsis, relieve abdominal bloating, and prevent vascular embolism. You can get out of bed and move around every day afterwards. However, since the wound has not yet healed, you will feel uncomfortable in the first 2-3 days. You can use an abdominal belt to support the wound during activities to relieve pain.

2. Pelvic Exercise

Pelvic exercises should be performed at least two weeks after delivery. Pelvic exercises help the pelvis and its muscles recover. Mommy put her hands on the ground and knelt down. Lift one foot and stretch it back, feeling a stretch from your hip to your ankle. Alternate between left and right feet 5 times.

3. The mattress is moderately soft and hard

Many people don't realize the relationship between mattresses and recovery after a C-section. A mattress that is too soft will cause the mother's body to fall while sleeping, and the spine and pelvis will be under too much pressure and will not get rest; a bed that is too hard will compress the heavier pelvic area of ​​the human body and cause pelvic tilt. Therefore, an ideal bed should be moderately soft and hard. When we lie on our backs, the curve of our body should fit perfectly with the mattress, and the head, face, thorax, and pelvis should provide horizontal support for the spine.

4. Strengthen bone nutrition

The components of the pelvis are nothing more than protein, calcium and fiber. The stronger the bones, the more stable the pelvis will be and less prone to damage. Therefore, adding some foods that are beneficial to bones has become part of the list of foods for postpartum pelvic recovery. Calcium-fortified milk, AD calcium milk, fish, shrimp, oysters, egg yolks, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. are rich in calcium and trace elements such as selenium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. You may want to eat more of them. Of course, don't forget to get more sun exposure so that the ultraviolet rays in the sun can shine on the skin to form vitamin D, which can promote the body's absorption of calcium and strengthen bones.

5. Use a professional pelvic belt

The pelvic belt is not the postpartum abdominal belt we often talk about now, but a professional postpartum pelvic correction belt. The pelvic correction belt should be selected by an orthopedic surgeon after the pelvis is examined to determine the appropriate model and size. The pelvic correction belt is an effective measure for the rapid recovery of the pelvis. Currently, the most commonly used one is the diamond-shaped pelvic correction belt. It is invented by combining a diamond structure with ergonomic research, and can correct and restore the pelvis in the most scientific and maximal way. It is also relatively simple, convenient, safe and effective to use, and has a good effect on postpartum pelvic correction and recovery.
