Abdominal pain one week after childbirth

Generally speaking, women's physical fitness is very low after giving birth naturally. In this case, they need to take good care of their bodies to avoid any diseases during this period. However, many women will feel that their lower abdomen becomes particularly painful one week after giving birth naturally, so they should pay special attention to it and do further detailed examinations.

Overview

Many pregnant women still hope to give birth naturally, which is not only good for the baby, but also has great benefits for their own physical recovery. Here, experts tell you that if you want to give birth naturally, you need to pay attention to the following 5 aspects.

1. Aged between 24 and 28

Expectant mothers who are younger than this age group have underdeveloped tissues in various parts of their bodies, especially their pelvis, which has not yet been fully fixed and formed, which is not good for both the mother and the fetus. Older pregnant women who are older than this age have hardened pelvic joints that are difficult to expand, and their uterine contraction and vaginal stretch are also poor, so that delivery time is prolonged and dystocia is prone to occur. This is also the reason why many older pregnant women choose cesarean section.

2. Proper nutrition during pregnancy and control weight

During pregnancy, expectant mothers pay great attention to dietary nutrition. If they do not pay attention to controlling their weight, excessive nutritional supplements and excessive fat intake will cause the fetus in the womb to grow too large and will not be able to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, and they will have to rely on surgery.

3. Exercise more

Appropriate exercise is not only beneficial for controlling weight during pregnancy, but also helps with natural delivery. It can shorten the delivery process and reduce the chance of dystocia. Expectant mothers who exercise regularly can usually maintain their physical fitness and cardiopulmonary function at a certain level. Pregnant women with good physical fitness have high tolerance and are better able to withstand labor pain. Therefore, female athletes will have fewer complications during childbirth than ordinary pregnant women. Therefore, expectant mothers can maintain their usual exercise habits, just be careful not to choose intense activities.

4. Confidence in natural childbirth

For expectant mothers who plan to give birth naturally, they should be mentally prepared in advance, read more books on this subject, understand the process and coping methods of natural childbirth, maintain a stable mood, and actively cooperate with the doctor once the contractions begin. Believe that with the help of doctors and midwives, they will go through the delivery safely and smoothly and welcome the arrival of the baby.

5. Regular prenatal check-ups

Regular prenatal checkups help doctors detect problems early, correct them and treat them as soon as possible. For example, if the fetus is in an abnormal position, you can take measures such as knee-chest position to correct it under the guidance of a doctor so as not to affect normal delivery.
