After months after the pregnancy, the delivery arrives, at which time you meet your baby, a new stage full of adventures. There are many cares that will help you recover after postpartum. These are very important to achieve a good recovery and to be able to adjust more quickly to the routines with your new baby. Next we are going to offer you some of the care that you should take into account.
Postpartum wound care
In abdominal delivery, the wound is called a cesarean section. Although in vaginal delivery, a wound also occurs in the case that an episiotomy has been performed. After postpartum, wound care is one of the most important to follow. You should always keep it clean and dry.
Be careful with bleeding
Whether you have experienced a vaginal delivery or caesarean section, there may be little bleeding or spotting. Although this is normal, if it has a bad odor or is abundant, it may be a warning sign and you should see a doctor.
Nutrition is essential in the postpartum
Taking care of your diet in the postpartum period is paramount. There is no restriction on food that you can eat or not. Ideally, you should follow a balanced diet, something that will favor breastfeeding.
Constipation and hemorrhoids
In pregnancy and after childbirth, there may be a risk of constipation. That is why you should maintain a diet rich in fiber, which includes fruits and vegetables. In case of hemorrhoids or varicose veins in the anus, it is advisable to take sitz baths with lukewarm water.
Postpartum physical exercise
There is no restriction on walking during the postpartum period. You can always do it to the extent of your possibilities and taste. If you played sports before giving birth, you can gradually return to your sports activities.
