What should I do if my uterine contractions are frequent on the second day after delivery?

Pregnancy and childbirth are something that most girls have to go through. During childbirth, you can choose natural birth or caesarean section. Pregnant women who choose natural birth may feel uterine contraction pain the day after delivery. So let's learn about severe postpartum uterine contractions. What should I do if I have frequent uterine contractions the day after delivery?

The uterus enlarges significantly during pregnancy. After delivery, the uterus needs to contract to restore its original size. Contraction can also compress the blood vessels on the placental detachment surface to reduce bleeding and stop bleeding. Generally, the pain of uterine contraction after delivery is obvious, two or three days after delivery. If it is a multiparous woman, the pain may be more obvious within a week. But some people do not feel obvious pain. Everyone's perception of pain is different and the manifestations are different. Occasionally, blood stasis may flow out later, which may cause abdominal pain. Further observation is needed for specific details. Pay attention to postpartum hygiene and rest. No sexual life within 42 days, and follow the doctor's advice for reexamination. In general, abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions after delivery will gradually weaken or disappear one week after delivery, but some may last for about a month. The pain in the back is generally mild. It is normal to have uterine contraction pain after delivery. This can help to discharge blood stasis and also has the effect of stopping bleeding. Sexual life should be avoided for at least one month after delivery.

It is normal for pregnant women to have frequent uterine contractions on the second day after delivery, and this may occur within one month after delivery.

1. Let the mother sleep on her side and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time to reduce pain in this area. It may also be helpful to put a cushion under the mother's buttocks when sitting.

2. Within 10 days after delivery, family members can use their palms to apply slight force to help the mother do circular massage until they feel the area harden. If the uterus contracts and the pain is severe, the massage should be temporarily stopped and the prone position should be used to relieve the pain.

3. If you still feel pain and discomfort that affects your rest and sleep, you should notify medical staff. If necessary, mild sedatives can be used to relieve the pain.

1. The feeding method should be correct. During the breastfeeding period, mothers should choose the correct feeding method to prevent nipple diseases. When feeding, mothers should first hold up their breasts, then use the nipple to tease the baby's lower lip, and then insert the nipple and areola together after the baby opens his mouth, allowing the baby to slowly suck milk. After the baby is full, the mother should remember to gently remove the nipple from the baby's mouth.

2. Eat breast-enhancing foods. Postpartum mothers should pay attention to balanced nutritional intake and try not to be picky about food. If you want your breasts to become fuller, you can drink more chicken feet and peanut soup, bird's nest stewed with fresh milk, pig's trotters stewed with peanuts, double-gelatin sugar water, etc.

3. Keep the breasts clean. After delivery, the breasts begin to secrete milk. After the baby sucks milk, scale scabs may form around the nipples. At this time, the mother can apply vegetable oil on the breasts to soften the scales, and then use a damp cloth dipped in alkaline soapy water to clean the breasts.

4. Breast massage: To prevent breast sagging, mothers can massage their breasts before going to bed. The specific method is to put the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of one hand together, place them on the opposite breast, and push and massage from the outer edge of the breast to the inside in a clockwise direction with the nipple as the center, for 10-15 minutes each time.

5. Do breast exercises after childbirth. If mothers want their breasts to be firm and full after childbirth, it is best to insist on doing breast exercises, such as simple chest expansion exercises, sit-ups, push-ups, etc., to help exercise chest muscles and prevent breast sagging.

Uterine contractions will still occur in a short period of time after delivery, and the mother may feel obvious abdominal pain, which usually lasts for two to three days, and some mothers may last for about a week. As time goes by, the pain symptoms can gradually ease and disappear, and generally no special treatment is required. If the postpartum pain is more intense, or the pain symptoms persist and cannot be relieved, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to determine whether there are other diseases, and then take appropriate treatment measures. In the short period of time after delivery, the mother should rest more, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, so as not to affect the body's recovery. The mother can also eat more high-protein, high-vitamin foods, which can speed up the body's recovery.
