What should I pay attention to after delivery?

How long can I share a room after delivery is a concern of many mothers. Next, I will answer questions for the parturients and talk about things that need to be paid attention to in the same room after childbirth.

First of all, premature sexual behavior after delivery is harmful.

Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, the postpartum mother has to go through the "puerperal period" to discharge lochia and repair the uterus. This process takes about 4-6 weeks. In addition, it takes 4-6 weeks or even longer for the mother's trauma during childbirth, such as lateral incision, laceration and caesarean section wound, to completely heal.

Therefore, it is not suitable for mothers to share the same room within six weeks after delivery. Premature sexual intercourse is not only detrimental to physical recovery, but also may increase the risk of infection.

Second, the time of postpartum sex varies from person to person.

Mom should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit about 42 days after delivery, so that the doctor can make a comprehensive assessment of her physical recovery. If the mother's examination results are normal, she can happily divide the house.

However, everyone's physical condition is different. Some mothers have not discharged lochia for 42 days, and the wound will hurt or have other discomfort after touching it, which will take some time.

Third, matters needing attention after the first delivery

In order to avoid some embarrassing situations of sharing the same room for the first time after delivery, mom and dad should know the following precautions.

1. Some mothers are tired because they are busy taking care of their babies after childbirth, and may not be interested in sharing a room. In this regard, dad should give more careful care and understanding.

2, the lactating mother will reduce vaginal secretions, and you can choose to use lubricants to reduce discomfort or pain when you are in the same room.

3, pay attention to hygiene, it is best to use condoms.

4, the same room movements must be gentle, to avoid causing genital laceration. In addition, don't share rooms too often.

Fourth, postpartum sexual life should pay attention to contraception.

Mom, don't think that you don't need contraception because you are still breastfeeding and haven't menstruated. In fact, ovulation may also occur before menstrual cramps. Therefore, postpartum sexual life must remember contraception! If the mother is pregnant again not long after delivery, it will do great harm to the uterus.

The World Health Organization suggests that in order to reduce the adverse consequences for mothers, perinatal fetuses and newborns, it is recommended to be pregnant again at least 2 years after delivery.
