Maternal mortality rate

Most pregnant women will feel anxious and afraid during pregnancy and childbirth, and are always worried about the safety of themselves and their fetuses. In fact, the maternal mortality rate is not very high. As long as the fetus and delivery are carried out scientifically, there will be no serious reactions. However, after giving birth, female friends should pay more attention to bed rest and turn over more often, so that the anesthetics can be metabolized faster.

Nursing method 1: You should turn over more often after surgery

Anesthetic drugs can inhibit intestinal motility and cause varying degrees of intestinal flatulence, thus causing abdominal distension. Therefore, it is advisable to do more turning movements after delivery to promote the early recovery of the paralyzed intestinal muscle peristalsis function and expel the gas in the intestine as soon as possible. 12 hours after the operation, you can drink some senna leaf water to help relieve abdominal distension.

Nursing Method 2: Pay attention to fitness exercises

About 10 days after cesarean section, if your body has recovered well, you can start fitness exercises. The method is: lying on your back, lift your legs alternately, first perpendicular to the body, then slowly put them down, do 5 times for each leg; lying on your back, place your arms naturally on both sides of the body, bend and lift your right leg, and bring your thigh as close to the abdomen as possible, and your heel as close to the buttocks as possible, alternate between left and right legs, do 5 times each; lying on your back, bend your knees, cross your arms and hug them in front of your chest, then slowly sit up into a semi-sitting position, and then return to a supine position; lying on your back, bend your knees, raise your arms and straighten them, and do sit-ups; lying prone, bend your legs toward your chest, keep your thighs perpendicular to the bed and lift your buttocks, and keep your chest close to the bed. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening, and gradually extend the time from 2-3 minutes to 10 minutes each time.

Nursing method three: semi-recumbent bed

The body of a mother who has undergone a cesarean section recovers more slowly and cannot get up and move around 24 hours after delivery like those who have had a vaginal birth. Therefore, those who have undergone cesarean section are prone to difficulty in expelling lochia. However, if they adopt a semi-recumbent position and turn over more often, it will help the lochia to be discharged, avoiding the lochia from accumulating in the uterine cavity and causing infection that affects the repositioning of the uterus. It will also help the healing of the uterine incision.

Nursing Method 4: Try to get out of bed and move around as early as possible

As long as your physical strength allows, you should get out of bed and move around as early as possible after giving birth, and gradually increase the amount of activity. This not only increases intestinal peristalsis and promotes uterine repositioning, but also avoids intestinal adhesion and thrombophlebitis.
