Can I go shopping during the summer confinement period?

Confinement is something every pregnant woman must experience. If you recover well during this period, there will not be any problems. However, if problems occur during this period, it will still affect your daily life in the future. Therefore, you still need to pay attention to some things during the confinement period. So, can you go shopping during the confinement period? Of course not. To put it bluntly, confinement is a one-month process. You cannot go out and cannot be exposed to the wind. If you must go out, make sure to cover your face and avoid being exposed to the wind. But it is recommended that you do not go out.

Taboos during confinement

1. Let’s talk about food first. You can’t be unrestrained during the confinement period and eat whatever you want. But you must be careful and not eat cold or spicy food. Do not eat vegetables, fruits, or fresh fruits; do not take any Chinese medicine or dietary supplements on your own; do not eat any chocolate; do not smoke, and do not eat or drink freshly ground coffee or tea. All of the above are taboos. Pregnant women must eat according to a reasonable confinement diet to ensure recovery and get more adequate nutrition.

2. Don't use a hair dryer, and don't blow towards the air conditioner or cooling fan. Keep warm, wear a long-sleeved top, sports pants, a confinement cap, and socks. If the weather is hot, you can choose linen or cotton clothes. Pay attention to hygiene, take a bath frequently, and don't wash your hair frequently. If you need to wash, wipe it with a cotton towel immediately after washing, and don't use a hair dryer.

3. You cannot sit or stand for a long time during the confinement period, and you cannot do housework or do things that require a lot of exercise. You don't need to hold the baby in your arms all the time, as it will hurt your arms. Injuring your arms during the confinement period will cause postpartum cold, which means your arms will hurt in the later stages of the confinement period. And exercise should be done appropriately, and don't exercise excessively just to lose weight. The body is very weak during the confinement period. Even an unintentional movement, like twisting a towel, will cause pain in the finger joints afterwards. Therefore, you must not get tired during the confinement period and rest as much as possible.

Based on the above introduction, everyone knows whether you can go shopping during the confinement period. I think for the sake of your own health, you should be patient. After all, it is only a matter of more than a month. However, the impact is indeed a lifelong thing. You should have a good rest and recover well during the confinement period.
