What is the difference between 30 days and 42 days? It's best to sit for a few days.

Speaking of confinement, the custom in many places is one month, that is, 30 days. I thought that my body would recover almost after a month of confinement, but many places also have the custom of "confinement for 42 days". Now many experienced confinement mostly say that "confinement for 42 days is now emphasized".

Some places are even more exaggerated. I have seen such comments under the comments of an article before. The confinement time is three months, without taking a bath. It pains me to think about it.

Why do you want to do 42 days of confinement? 42 days after delivery, in fact, in medicine, there is a professional term called "puerperium", which says that it takes 42 days for the mother's uterus to fully recover after delivery, so many people pay attention to 42 days of confinement, which is from here.

Just sitting for 30 days less than 42 days, what effect does it have on pregnant mothers?

In order to recover, some postpartum mothers are also very entangled. How many days does it take to confinement? Would 42 days be better? Then let's look at the difference between 30 days and 42 days.

Difference one, mental and physical strength

Generally, one month (30 days) after delivery, although the mental state of the new mother is much better than that of the newborn baby, it has not fully recovered to the best mental state, and many new mothers will still be easily tired.

In other words, both physically and mentally, I can't keep up, and my body is still very weak, and I have never returned to the state before pregnancy. If I don't pay attention to rest at this time, I will probably leave a lot of "hidden dangers". For example, when nursing a baby, many mothers will have backache due to incorrect posture, but it will be much better 42 days after delivery. However, during the second month, mothers can also choose "nursing pillows".

After 30 days and 42 days, the time gap has increased by nearly half a month, so there is also a significant gap in the degree of physical recovery. If you choose to give birth after 42 days, the new mother's body will basically return to normal, and her mental and physical strength will basically reach the previous level, and her physical functions will be better.

I was locked up for 30 days. After the full moon, I went shopping with my mother. When I came back from my trip, I obviously felt very tired. I will rest for a long time, and then go out after half a month, so I won't feel so tired.

Difference two. Moon disease

During confinement, the new mother needs careful care. It is not that "confinement has a sense of ritual, so she won't get this disease", but careful nursing and scientific confinement will not leave this disease.

After all, the damage caused by giving birth is not so easy to recover. If you think you will recover well after 30 days, you will have a normal life, even a husband and wife life. At this time, it is easy to cause secondary infection and injury, and it is very likely to get sick.

In addition, after 30 days of confinement, the body has not fully recovered to its previous state, so some minor problems, such as backache caused by previous work, cold hands and feet and joint pain caused by cold water, may be very painful in later life.

From this point of view, in order to be healthy and recover better, it is suggested to sit for 42 days, which can reduce the risk of lunar disease. Nowadays, many people will choose the confinement center, and most will choose 42 days.

Difference 3, uterine contraction

As we all know, the uterus is stretched more and more during pregnancy, and the pelvis is also stretched during childbirth; After a pregnancy and childbirth, the pregnant mother's body will be seriously damaged. If you don't take a good rest and recover these "injuries" after delivery, such as premature delivery and frequent supine, it will affect the recovery of the uterus, and even problems such as backache and urinary incontinence will occur, which will bring irreversible damage consequences.

The 42-day "puerperium" is the key period for the uterus to gradually shrink and become normal size from the moment it expands. During this period, you can't do too much physical labor, but you can often massage your abdomen with your hands to promote uterine contraction.

In addition, it is not advisable to stay in bed all the time, and ensuring proper activities every day is conducive to the recovery of the uterus. For example, do postpartum yoga and do some simple housework.

Difference four, lochia is very different.

Most women will completely discharge lochia within 1 month after delivery, but this is also based on careful nursing. If the new mother doesn't pay attention to postpartum cultivation and nursing, it will lead to "endless lochia". Premature delivery may make you more susceptible to infection and anemia because of lochia.

So we should also pay great attention to this. Mothers should not get up in a hurry one week before giving birth, but should exercise moderately. They should also have more rest during the whole month. Besides avoiding strenuous exercise, they should also pay attention to hygiene. If circumstances permit, they can choose to sit for 42 days, which will make them better cultivated.
