What is considered as blowing during confinement?

Many women will hear their elders nagging about not being exposed to wind during the confinement period after giving birth. What does it mean to be exposed to wind during the confinement period? When a woman is exposed to wind during the confinement period, it means that the cold wind blows on her body. As long as the cold wind is not blown on the body, it is fine, because women are weaker after giving birth. If the cold wind blows on the body, it will directly blow into the bones and cause damage to the body.

1. What will happen if the pregnant woman is exposed to the wind?

New mothers are weak and being exposed to the wind may cause a cold. After giving birth, the muscles and bones of new mothers are relaxed. If the cold wind blows on their bones, they may have muscle pain in the future. It is recommended that mothers wear long clothes and long pants during the confinement period, and if the floor is cold when getting out of bed, it is best to put on a pair of socks. If it is summer, choose thin long-sleeved clothing. If it is hot and stuffy in summer, you can let the electric fan blow against the wall to circulate the indoor air. As long as the cold wind does not blow directly, the room should still maintain proper air circulation. During the confinement period, new mothers with poor immunity are advised not to go out to avoid catching a cold.

Chinese medicine practitioners pointed out that today's living environment is different from before. In the past, people might have to walk to go out, and they lacked warm clothes. Now, people have cars to travel with, and the air-conditioning equipment in the cars is complete, so there is no need to worry about being afraid of being blown by the wind. Moreover, if medical treatment is delayed during the confinement period, it will be more disadvantageous to the mother. As for the concern about getting a headache in the future after being blown by the wind when going out, it is actually unnecessary. In addition to not being taboo about going out, there is no need to wrap your body tightly. This will make it easier for you to be blown by the wind after sweating, which can really cause problems. In fact, just dress appropriately according to the temperature.
