Expectant mother for a long nine month dayFrom the day it is approaching a climax - an exciting, long-awaited and joyful event, after which life takes on a completely different meaning. It is not surprising that the woman is worried by the anxiety associated with the anticipation of childbirth, because she went to this day for about 280 days.
Many books and articles have been written about what happens before and during childbirth, but the postpartum period is somehow undeservedly overlooked.
The first month, counted immediately after birth, is often called the tenth month of pregnancy, thus making it clear how important it is for the body of the new-born mom.
Generally speaking, the postpartum period lasts about eight weeks after the baby is born. At this time, the activity of many internal organs increases.

Gradually, the woman in labor has normalized, the pain, although not intense, disappear. If a woman has a cesarean section, then she may have stitches.
Periodically in the postpartum period, the uteruswomen are shrinking, reminding weak contractions, and in primiparous people this process is less painful than experienced mothers. In short, the female body begins to actively return to its former prenatal state.
The physiology of the postpartum period is such thata woman immediately after the birth of her baby almost a day does not feel the urge to urinate. This is because the tone of the abdominal cavity in her is greatly reduced, and the bladder neck swells due to compression during childbirth. Therefore, to stimulate the work of the urethral organs, it is necessary to move a lot, to empty the bladder every three to four hours, so as not to hinder the contraction of the uterus.
The chair of a woman who has recently given birth should befor three days, although, as a rule, these days she most often has constipation, the cause of which becomes a restriction of motor function, malnutrition, and the condition of the abdominal walls. Therefore, a woman should herself consciously adjust her food and move a lot. In such cases, kefir and prunes help well. However, if the chair does not return to normal on the fourth day, then it is necessary to give the young mom an enema.
Already on the third day in the postpartum period with mombreast milk begins to increase, the mammary glands swell and hurt, giving to the axillary region. Therefore, from now on, it is necessary to sharply limit fluid intake, bringing it up to 800 milliliters per day, and more often to feed your baby.

Therefore, many young mothers in the postpartum period are experiencing havoc, irritability and causeless anxiety. As a rule, such phenomena disappear by themselves, but if a woman feels aggravation of her condition - apathy, fear, hostility to the baby, then you need to contact a specialist.
Food for women in the postpartum period should benutritious and easily digestible, be sure to include in the diet cottage cheese, meat, vegetable oil, some vegetables and fruits, and with a well-established lactation to increase the amount of liquid drunk to two liters.
