Before the operation, expectant mothers should keep a happy and calm mood and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. When they are in labor, they can relax themselves by listening to music, reading leisure books and communicating with other pregnant women, and they can also relive every wonderful moment of pregnancy with their prospective fathers.

The following are some preoperative preparations that require the cooperation of expectant mothers:

Pay attention to rest, get enough sleep the night before the operation, eat digestible food, and stop eating and drinking at least eight hours before the operation.

Do a good job of cleaning the abdomen and vulva.

Remove hair clips, removable dentures, contact lenses, jewelry, etc. Give it to your family for safekeeping.

Prepare the baby's clothes (cardigan), hat, diaper, package, mother's puerperal (50×70), abdominal belt and 2 packs of salt (for postoperative wound compression).

After delivery, pregnant women should be transferred to the postpartum ward or ward, and their families should arrange their personal belongings in advance, prepare to transfer to bed, and carry valuables with them.

When pregnant women are sent to the operating room, they should be accompanied by their families and wait in the waiting area outside the operating room.

Matters needing attention after operation

1

Within 6 hours after operation

(1) Lying position: lying down for 6-8 hours after returning to the ward.

(2) Placement of sandbags in the abdomen: Sometimes nurses will place sandbags in the abdomen of parturients to reduce bleeding from abdominal wounds.

(3) Fasting: Fasting within 6 hours after operation. This is because the operation is easy to stimulate the intestine, so that the intestinal function is inhibited, the intestinal peristalsis slows down, and gas accumulates in the intestinal cavity. So there will be abdominal distension after operation.

Breastfeeding in time: After Ma Bao returned to the ward after operation, he should breast-feed the baby as soon as possible and have skin contact with the baby. This is conducive to stimulating mammary gland secretion and is very beneficial to the recovery of maternal uterus.

When the baby is hungry, give it to the mother, and the mother must feed the most precious colostrum to the baby. Baby's sucking can promote milk secretion, promote uterine contraction and avoid postpartum hemorrhage.

Six hours after the operation

Lying posture: The lying-in woman can sleep on the pillow after lying on her back for 6-8 hours after delivery. At this time, it is best to lie on your side. You can put a quilt or blanket behind her, so that the body and the bed form an angle of 20-30 degrees, which can reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the wound during physical activities and feel more comfortable.

Eat as soon as possible: after 6 hours of caesarean section, you can drink some warm water to enhance intestinal peristalsis, promote exhaust, reduce abdominal distension, and also replenish water in the body. However, some foods that are easy to ferment and produce more gas, such as sugar, soybeans, soybean milk, starch, etc., should be eaten less or not to prevent abdominal distension. When the parturient exhausts, the diet can be changed from liquid to semi-liquid, and the food should be nutritious and easy to digest. You can choose egg soup, rotten porridge, noodles and so on. And then gradually return to normal according to the maternal physique. You can drink moon soup such as pigeon soup, black-bone chicken soup, mullet soup and trotter soup 72 hours after operation, which can not only help your body recover but also help you produce milk. Wait until the blood is clean before eating angelica, astragalus and fermented grains.
