How to do a confinement is good?
In China, many new mothers will be "confinement" by their elders after giving birth.
Can't see the wind, can't wash your hair, can't even eat too greasy... The mother who thought that pregnancy was enough to torture people did not suffer less during the month.
But in the face of the difficulties of the mothers, the elders put their faces on the board and said that they would say that they would make the mothers have to sit well this month.
In this way, the mothers who were suffocated by the baoma cried bitterly, bluntly saying that "confinement disease is a lie!" ”
Why is there no confinement disease abroad? Why don't foreign mothers have to confinement? In fact, the reason is very simple.
Why are foreign mothers not allowed to have confinement? It's just a different story
When it comes to the pain of confinement, every mother has experienced it.
After surviving the October pregnancy, the mothers who have no appetite finally have a chance to feast, but before they can eat, the dishes in their hands will be blocked by the elders, saying that they still need to sit in confinement.
There is no way to eat well, even if it is, the mothers are even deprived of their personal freedom: they cannot go out, they cannot be cold, they cannot be that, they thought that they could stay in the confinement period in a regular manner, but they still fell into a "confinement disease".
Xiao Li, a mother who was overwhelmed, went to the hospital for this matter, and she wanted to find out why foreign mothers did not have so many rules. Why don't they have to confinement, but their health is still so good?
Listening to Xiao Li's troubles, the doctor explained:
"Confinement disease" does not have a specific corresponding disease, but only a means of prevention of various diseases after childbirth
"Confinement" is only a precaution against possible infection during the puerperium
In ancient China, due to underdeveloped medical conditions and unhygienic means of delivery, many pregnant women would die after giving birth to the virus.
In order to reduce maternal mortality, people invented the "confinement period", on the one hand, to give the weak body of the mother a time to recuperate, on the other hand, to isolate the possible bacterial virus from the external environment.
"Confinement" is more about the recovery and recuperation of the weak body after childbirth
Pregnant in October, with a larger belly, all the organs of the mother's body are under pressure.
Especially bones, in order to adapt to the conditions of normal delivery, pregnant women's bones will become loose during pregnancy, coupled with the weight of the fetus, many women will feel back pain and toe bone pain during pregnancy.
After the completion of childbirth, the sudden "unloading" will make the mother's body too late to react, there will be symptoms of back pain and fatigue, and if you want to quickly restore the body to the best state, the "confinement period" of bed rest will appear.
Did the confinement suffer in the old age? The reason why foreign mothers do not make confinement is here
Careful people will find that among global mothers, it seems that only Chinese women have a "confinement period", while foreign women can not only recover quickly after giving birth, but also their physical fitness does not seem to be greatly affected.
Is The Chinese mother's "confinement" really squeamish? In fact, it is just a disaster caused by the environment and genes.
Foreign mothers have relatively large bones and stronger physical fitness
The significant difference between Eastern and Western women is mainly reflected in skin color and body shape.
Unlike the petite delicacy of Eastern women, Western women have larger skeletons and higher average weight.
In terms of production conditions, western women's wide pelvis are easier to breed, and they suffer a lot less than Eastern women during normal childbirth. Without the tearing damage caused by the unsuccessful birth, foreign mothers will naturally recover faster after childbirth.
Foreign mothers have different eating habits and different lifestyles
Unlike Chinese meal pairings, meat and protein are more often present on the foreign mother's table.
Due to the nutrition of meat and the rich protein ingested from childhood, foreign mothers' own resistance will be better than that of Chinese mothers, and their physical fitness will be stronger, and they will be more adapted to the physical damage during childbirth.
Different lifestyles are also a key factor in differentiating the two. Compared with Chinese mothers, Western women prefer to exercise, and the habit of outdoor interaction exercises their physical fitness, thereby shortening their postpartum recovery time and eliminating the "confinement period".
Write at the end
Although the physical condition is different from that of foreign mothers, with the improvement of the living environment and the advancement of medical conditions, the concept of "confinement" has become increasingly blurred.
Different from the elders at that time, today's "confinement period" focuses more on the self-recovery of the mother, rather than excessive strict prevention, the mothers do not have to "talk about the discoloration of the confinement period", reasonable maintenance can be.
