How many days will the contractions during a normal birth last?

Nowadays, many pregnant women, when they reach the late stage of pregnancy, generally choose the method of delivery based on the results of examinations and their own conditions, under the advice of doctors. Everyone knows that natural delivery has many benefits for both babies and mothers, so now many mothers make a lot of preparations for natural delivery during pregnancy. When choosing natural delivery, many mothers are more worried about the problem of uterine contractions during delivery.

How many days will the contractions hurt after a normal birth?

To put it simply, the pain of natural childbirth is the pain of uterine contractions. As for why uterine contractions are so painful, there is no way of knowing. Perhaps it is a test from God for women. If you want to become a mother, you must go through some pain. In fact, uterine contractions do not end with the end of delivery. After giving birth, the mother can still feel slight lower abdominal pain, which is postpartum uterine contraction. Uterine contraction pain after normal delivery is the pain caused by uterine contraction during the process of the uterus returning to normal size, which usually disappears naturally after 4-7 days. During breastfeeding, the baby's sucking behavior will stimulate the mother's uterine contractions to increase, causing more severe uterine pain. This is the uterus recovering faster, so there is no need to worry too much.

Precautions during uterine contractions after normal delivery

1. Avoid fatigue

Walking too much or lifting heavy objects after a normal birth will increase the burden on the body, causing abdominal strain and uterine contractions. Therefore, mothers after a normal birth must avoid fatigue to reduce the pain caused by uterine contractions.

2. Keep a happy mood

A happy mood after a normal birth is conducive to the body's recovery and relaxation. On the contrary, the accumulation of negative pressure can easily lead to abdominal hardening and cause uterine contraction pain.

3. Prevent catching a cold

After a normal birth, it is best for the mother to wear socks and cover herself with a blanket in the air-conditioned room. Cold lower limbs and waist can easily cause uterine contractions and pain, so care should be taken to prevent catching cold.
