Whether it is a caesarean section or a natural birth, every pregnant woman will have irregular uterine contractions after giving birth. The degree of pain during uterine contractions is related to personal sensitivity. Some people find it unbearable, but some people may not feel it. Postpartum uterine contractions will disappear within 2-3 days, and a few will last more than 10 days. Pregnant women restore their normal size through postpartum uterine contractions before pregnancy, and this process will cause this contraction pain. This uterine contraction pain will manifest within 1-2 days after delivery. You can adjust your sleeping position, avoid sitting for a long time, rest in bed, massage your lower abdomen appropriately, and use a hot water bottle to relieve the pain. Wait for the auxiliary tool to heat the lower abdomen for a little longer. If you can hold on for a few days, it will help. Uterine contractions will last about 3 days after caesarean section.

Women will experience postpartum uterine contraction pain after giving birth, and this situation will become more obvious with breastfeeding. This is the severe pain in the lower abdomen that occurs during the puerperium. In this case, women who have given birth often experience obvious pain.

1. Generally, after giving birth, the uterus and the navel are level on the first day, and then they will drop every day until the uterus drops to the normal position. Then, the uterine contraction pain disappears at this time. During breastfeeding, it will stimulate the contraction of the uterus, so this has a good stimulating effect on the recovery of the uterus. Generally, breastfeeding is advocated after childbirth, which is conducive to postpartum recovery.

2. Most uterine contractions are normal physiological reactions, because they will not last long. As the uterus gradually returns to its original position, the contractions will gradually decrease and the pain will disappear. Therefore, this can be cured directly without external interference. If there are abnormal uterine contractions, such as too frequent contractions, which have not stopped for a long time, then at this time, it is necessary to check to see if there is a problem somewhere, and timely treatment is required to prevent uterine bleeding.

3. Postpartum uterine contraction pain will cause pain to the mother. Childbirth is already very physically demanding, and this pain will make the mother's mood even worse. Therefore, at this time, family members must accompany the mother to help relieve the pain and avoid depression in the mother.

It is best to use hot compresses to relieve the pain of postpartum contractions, because the baby needs to be breastfed. Taking painkillers only temporarily relieves the pain. As the saying goes, if the flow is smooth, there is no pain, and if there is pain, the flow is blocked, so relieving the pain is the fundamental reason. Moreover, taking painkillers is addictive, so medicine is three-point poison. After becoming a mother, it is not recommended to use any medicine when considering postpartum breastfeeding. Postpartum contractions are actually expelling lochia from the body. After the lochia is discharged, the postpartum contractions will decrease accordingly and disappear. Therefore, postpartum contraction pain is actually caused by the incomplete discharge of lochia. Eat less greasy food and drink brown sugar water appropriately.

After childbirth, since the fetus has been discharged from the uterine cavity, the volume of the uterus has been significantly reduced. During the recovery process of the uterus, obvious uterine contractions will occur. This type of uterine contraction is a normal uterine contraction and is beneficial to the recovery of women's bodies. Uterine contractions often cause obvious pain. For postpartum uterine contraction pain, you can gently rub your belly to relieve the pain. Gently rubbing your belly can reduce the pressure and pulling caused by uterine contractions, weaken the intensity of uterine contractions, and help discharge the accumulated blood in the uterine cavity, so it is beneficial to women's postpartum recovery. However, you must not use too much force when rubbing your belly. Excessive force will increase the pain and cause obvious local irritation, such as nausea, vomiting and other discomforts. Therefore, you can gently rub your belly during postpartum uterine contractions, which will help relieve clinical symptoms.
