You can't sleep lying down after giving birth.

Pregnant women will experience symptoms of insufficient qi and blood after giving birth. At this time, they are relatively weak, and coupled with the wounds after giving birth, sleeping posture is very important. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for pregnant women to sleep lying down after giving birth, because it is not easy to secrete milk when sleeping lying down. Moreover, sleeping on her side after giving birth can help to reposition the slightly posterior uterus caused by delivery, and it can also reduce the infection of the wound. Of course, you can't lie on your side all the time. You can lie flat occasionally, but be careful not to do so for too long.

Women will have slight wounds on the perineum after a normal delivery.

In some cases, an episiotomy may be necessary, leaving an incision. If a postpartum woman chooses to sleep on her back in bed, the uterus may move backwards, and the mother will feel soreness in the waist and may also have symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea.

It is best to sleep on your side after a normal birth, regardless of whether it is left or right, and the main thing is not to put pressure on the side with the wound. It is best not to sleep on your back, because the bone joints become larger after giving birth, making the pelvis larger than before. Lying on your side will prevent the bone joints from cracking, and it is easier for the pelvis to return to normal. However, if you want to breastfeed your child yourself, do not press on your breasts when lying on your side.

You can lie prone two weeks after a caesarean section.

Once or twice a day, about a quarter of an hour each time. It is best for women who have undergone cesarean section to sleep on their side, with an angle of about twenty to thirty degrees between their body and the bed. It is best for the mother to put something like a blanket behind her to avoid straining the wound when moving. At the same time, women who undergo cesarean section are advised to lie half-lying down so that the blood accumulated in the uterine tibia will flow to the posterior fornix and prevent it from flowing into the abdominal cavity.

If you sleep on your back after giving birth, the overweight uterus will move backward.

Because the ligaments supporting the uterus are soft and weak and do not have enough tension, the uterus cannot be pulled back. If this continues for a long time, the uterus will not move backwards, resulting in a retroverted uterus. Experts emphasize that although a retroverted uterus may seem harmless, it is actually very harmful. Mild cases generally have no symptoms, but severe cases can cause pelvic bleeding, back pain, etc.
