Why do some mothers menstruate at the full moon and some mothers don't come during the whole lactation period?

Every mother has a different time for her first menstruation after giving birth to a baby. Some precious mothers will have dysmenorrhea soon after giving birth, so fast that they can't believe it, and they can't even tell whether it is lochia or menstruation. But some precious mothers have no menstruation during the whole lactation period.

So does the former think it is abnormal to come early? Does the latter think it is abnormal for him to come for so long?

The answer is: everything is normal!

Let's first understand the characteristics of lactating women. Breast-feeding women produce a large number of so-called. A prolactin? Hormones, it can be said that this is an important source of baby rations. The reason of postpartum milk production in Ma Bao is influenced by this prolactin. The more prolactin there is, the more milk there will be, and the baby's rations will of course be sufficient!

What is the relationship between prolactin and menstruation?

Maybe many mothers don't know? How does menstruation come from? ? In a menstrual cycle, the endometrium will gradually thicken, generally 1 cm, and then fall off to form a menstruation.

Prolactin can affect the growth of endometrium. The increase of prolactin will cause the endometrium not to thicken by itself, so it will not fall off and produce menstruation, so it will cause menstrual pause.

Generally speaking, because breast-feeding mothers insist on breast-feeding, the hormone level in the body changes and prolactin has been at a high level, so menstruation has temporarily stopped.

How often does postpartum mother regain her menstruation? As mentioned above, every mother has menstrual cramps in different periods after giving birth. Mothers who don't have much breast milk may come at 1-2 months after delivery, but some mothers have always had more breast milk and may come at the age of one.

The time to resume menstruation after delivery is related to the breastfeeding situation in Ma Bao, such as feeding methods, breastfeeding times and breastfeeding time. To sum up, it generally has the following characteristics:

Most mothers will resume menstrual cramps after breastfeeding for about 6 months;

A small number of mothers resumed menstrual cramps 2-4 months after delivery;

There are also some mothers who have no menstrual cramps during the whole lactation period;

Mothers with mixed feeding will recover their menstruation earlier;

Mothers who don't breastfeed usually resume menstrual cramps around 6- 10 weeks after delivery.

Ma Jing has a friend. When Dabao was born, she breastfed her baby for 9 months and didn't menstruate until weaning. Bauer was breast-fed for 2 years, and it was not until Bauer was one year and two months old that she resumed her menstrual cramps. And I have some friends around me, many of whom have resumed menstruation after weaning, and there is nothing wrong with their health.

Therefore, different postpartum mothers have different menstrual conditions, and many Ma Bao don't menstruate during the whole lactation period. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Ma Bao doesn't need to worry at all and doesn't need any special treatment. Relax and enjoy this time without a menstrual towel!

Ma Jing warns:

In this case, menstruation naturally returns to normal 1-2 months after weaning; But if you haven't recovered menstrual cramps for several months after weaning, you need to check the reasons.

One thing that needs special reminder is that although there is no menstruation during lactation, it will ovulate normally. Yes, it is necessary to remind everyone that contraceptive measures must be taken, especially for mothers who no longer plan to have children or have a caesarean section.

Nurse, is there anything special to pay attention to? Breast-feeding mothers are not relaxed because they have to breast-feed their babies, especially in terms of diet.

Dietary principle: light nutrition

In order to enhance the body nutrition and improve the quality of milk, Ma Bao can eat more light and nutritious foods, such as all kinds of milk, soups (bone soup, chicken soup and crucian carp soup), all kinds of meat (lean pork, beef and mutton, fish), eggs, bean products, fresh vegetables and seasonal fruits.

Don't eat irritating food.

Breastfeeding mothers should avoid talking, one of which is? Irritating food? Such as cold, spicy, fried, greasy and other foods, Ma Bao should not covet these delicious foods and forget the baby. Remember what food a mother eats will affect her baby through breast milk.

How cold the mother eats, it is easy for the baby to have diarrhea after breastfeeding;

Mom eats more flatulence food, and the baby is prone to flatulence after breastfeeding;

Mother has eaten greasy, fried and other foods, and the baby is prone to indigestion after breastfeeding.

In short, when mothers eat foods with various tastes, the milk will vary with the food, and sometimes even the baby will resist the breast milk. Therefore, for the sake of the baby, try not to eat these foods if possible.

Don't take drugs casually

Not only will the food be eaten by the mother, but it will also enter the baby with breast milk, which will affect the baby; The same is true of drug abuse, which has a greater impact on babies.

There are grades of medication during lactation. Of course, mom can't take medicine casually. If she is ill, she must see a doctor and tell the doctor in advance that she is breastfeeding.

In this way, when doctors prescribe drugs, they will try not to use drugs or use drugs that have little effect on the baby according to the mother's situation.

In short, if you want to use medicine, you must use it safely under the guidance of a doctor.

Keep a good mood

Taking care of children is tiring, and it takes patience and energy, right? 7? Online 24 hours a day, on call, 365 days a day? . The baby in Xiaoyue can't talk, but can only express his various needs by crying.

Coupled with some trivial matters in life, Ma Bao will inevitably feel annoyed sometimes. Must I meditate nervously for three times at this time? Biology? Don't be angry.

Because fidgety will not only affect the secretion of milk, but also make the baby feel fear in severe cases, which is not conducive to the recovery of Ma Bao's body. This is not worth the loss, so Ma Bao should try to keep a good mood!

In short, in addition to the above precautions, lactating mothers should not be overworked, so as not to increase the physical burden and be detrimental to recovery. They can do some stretching exercises, such as yoga, pay attention to rest and recuperate their bodies, which is also conducive to restoring menstrual cramps in the future.
