坐月子是女人一生中最好的改善体质时机。如果没有坐好月子,将为以后的身体健康埋下隐患。中国人讲究坐月子,千万不要以为那是迷信哦,许多讲究都是有道理的。

一、生活上要注意:

1.一定要休养一个月或一个半月。产后两周,除了吃饭和上洗手间以外,其他的时间一定要卧床。若常坐或起身走动,可能引起子宫下垂。

2.准备两三条宽度约为30---40厘米,长度可绕腹部12圈半的白纱布。产后要紧绑腹带,防止内脏下垂。内脏下垂将导致妇女病,以及小腹突出,体形难看。绑腹带还可改善产前小腹明显的状况。腹带不能以一般的束裤和束腹带代替。因为它们不但没有效果,还有反作用。

3.前两周洗澡只能用温酒水擦澡。做法是烧开的水和米酒各一半,加一点点盐巴,用毛巾浸湿,拧干,在身上擦。第三周起可以淋浴,满月后可泡澡。(顺产者)

4.洗脸刷牙须用烧开过的水放至温热再使用。可以使用保养品。

5.严禁洗头。因为头皮不能着凉。

6.不能抱小孩。否则可能内脏下垂。喂奶时可侧躺着喂。

7.不能为小孩洗澡,否则可导致腰酸背痛及手脚酸麻。所以,给小孩洗澡的时要交给LG等人。

8.要有安静,舒适的环境。阳光太强时要拉上窗帘,保护眼睛。不能吹风,因为产后全身毛孔都张开了,吹风易引起头风及关节酸痛等,连扇子也不要摇。

9.月子期间不能爬楼梯,产后半年内不能提重物,避免内脏下垂。

10.不要流泪,否则眼睛将提早老化,可能演变为青光眼或白内障。少看书报和电视,一定要让眼睛充分休息。

二、饮食方面要讲究:

1.少食多餐。

2.产后半个月内严禁喝水、饮料及汤类,牛奶也不可以喝。因为会喝成大水桶,会变胖,将来容易得风湿病或神经痛。可以用烧开的米酒代替水分(买商店里的瓶装米酒)。做法是将数瓶米酒倒入锅内,不加盖,大火煮沸后持续15分钟以上。再将煮好的米酒水装入热水瓶备用。

3.不要吃盐,生冷的食物,酸的东西也不能吃。(有理由的,很长我就不说了。)

4.半个月内避免吃青菜和水果。可吃点红萝卜。月子内要吃水分少的水果。

5.半个月内禁吃鱼类和肉类,可以多吃肝脏等。因为疲劳的身体无法完全吸收鱼、肉的养分,结果过多的养分,只会加重身体的负担,产生“虚不受补”的现象。应该到第三周开始吃。

6.用麻油、姜和米酒料理食物。姜要爆透。

小S坐月子的方法,难怪她身材那么好!(怕弄丢,还是转载比较好)

本计划书根据台湾庄淑旗博士的坐月子理论,本人将逐一实践,并及时把心得体会与各位姐妹分享。
 关键词语:
 1、 滴水不沾 (以米酒水代替普通水)
 2、 粒盐不进 (少食盐)
 3、 勤绑腹带
 4、 静心休养
 
 二、《如何坐月子》理论概要
 
 初次知道这本书,是因为一个朋友丽丽。那时候我姐姐怀孕快生了,丽丽介绍她用这本书,说效果不错。我才知道她的小孩已经半岁了,可是她的身材恢复得非常好,根本看不出生过小孩了。就这样,我们家姐妹三个,都用这个方法坐的月子,不仅身材恢复的不错,体质也比以前好多了。
 作者庄淑芹博士,是台湾著名的妇产科专家。她提出,女性在一生中有三次机会可以调整自己的体型,使之恢复青春、美丽与健康,那就是初潮期、生产后、更年期。这里最重要的就是生产后这个阶段。这个时期,你的身体就好像一个打开的大门,可以把怀孕时积累的多余的积水和毒素(这也是产后发胖的主要原因)排出体外,然后通过正确的补养使你的身体更健康。
 
 1、坐月子三阶段:一排二调三补
 具体是将产后一个月按周划分,每周根据需要,吃不同的食品:
 第一周,主要是要把多余的水分和毒素以及恶露排出体外,每天喝生化汤,吃麻油炒猪肝。注意不能喝水(否则排水的效果就没了),渴了就喝止渴饮料,如荔枝核、山楂片等,或煮开的米酒。任何菜都不能放水,用米酒煮开代替。不能放盐(盐会使水分停留在身体里),不能放醋(醋会使骨质变软),不能放酱油(道理同盐)。
 
 第二周,主要增强骨质和腰肾的功能,恢复骨盆。每天吃炒腰子和杜仲粉,有助于缓解尾椎骨等骨疼;(另:如果是剖腹产,还要再喝一周生化汤)。禁忌同上,也不要吃咸菜,泡菜,味曾汤。
 
 第三周到一个月,这时候,该排的已经排完,主要吃麻油鸡补身体。千万记得,排完毒素后吃麻油鸡才能被身体吸收,否则堆积在身体里,成为多余的脂肪。 因为前期身体虚弱,中医讲虚不受补,吃了吸收不了,只会加重身体的负担。
 
 以上所有的食物,都要用到大量的米酒(不能用料酒和黄酒,里面含盐且工艺不同),生姜,胡麻油,红糖。
 
 2、 同时,坐月子期间,不能吹风,着凉。要穿有后帮的鞋(不能穿拖鞋,否则落下脚后跟疼的毛病)。洗脸用煮过的米酒放温后洗,不要洗澡,同样用煮过的米酒擦身。绑腹带,最好自己喂奶,对身体的恢复会更好。出了月子之后再开始运动,等等,不一而足。
 我自己生小孩前110斤,生的时候135斤。小孩生下来8斤5两,生完4天时,113斤,出月子时就恢复到110斤。但是这时的体形很松跨,没有肌肉,肚子松松的。不过自己带小孩很累,加上偶尔的锻炼(抽时间锻炼也不容易啊),6个月后,体重已经变成98磅,体形也慢慢恢复好了,别人都看不出我生过小孩。没有胯变宽之类的后遗症,但是肚子上的妊辰纹消不下去了。
 快生的时候腿已经有了浮肿,手关节也有些疼和肿大,但是坐完月子后,基本上就好
 了。生完后,尾椎骨疼,在第二个礼拜吃完杜仲粉后,也好了。
 有人觉得不吃盐太难了,其实我自己平时吃饭口味就淡,月子期间不吃盐也没觉得怎
 样。想想为了以后的健康和身材,一个月不吃盐又算什么呢?总比减肥舒服吧。
三、坐月子系列物品
 
 1、米酒水
 在北京艾佳人月子公司的资料介绍中,有一个米酒水随处都可以见到,到处都要用到。这个水他们卖得比较的便宜,要240元/箱,30天月子坐下来,要10箱,也就是说要2400元。但是根据资料的介绍,这个水实际上就是米酒烧开,不要加盖,让酒精充分地挥发。整个月子期间,要用这个水来代替产妇一切的饮食用水,包括洗菜、泡米,炒菜、煮饭、擦澡等等等等。
 这里特别说明,这个米酒不是国内说的醪糟或酒酿,是专门的月子米酒,酒精含量在15度的样子。
 2、 生化汤
 生化汤是一付配好的中药,它的主要功能是使子宫尽快排出恶露,帮助它恢复正常的位置和形状。稍微大一点的中药房,都可以买到。
 3、胡麻油 (黑麻油)
 胡麻油,这个在月子期间几乎所有的菜里都会用到。 有防止皮肤衰老和抗癌的作用
 4、腹带
 长1500CM,宽15CM的白纱带,需备至少两条。艾佳人两条卖100元,我计划去药店购买,如果没有,用绷带在缝纫机上按规格自制。
 5、杜仲粉。产后第二周服用。

六、坐月子的生活
 1、安静休养30-40天
 产后最重要的一件事即为「休息」,在这段期间内,产妇周围的亲戚,如娘家的母亲与姊妹、夫家的亲属、当然还有丈夫等,都应同心协力的来照顾产妇,不让她离开房间、不让她起身做任何劳动、不分贫富、或者第几次生产,甚至是小产,都一定要同样的慎重!自然生产者须休养三十天,剖腹产、自然流产或人工流产者,更须延长休养的天数至四十天以上!
 2、卧床二周
 产后二周内为子宫收缩最快速的时候,此时因怀孕时子宫被胎儿撑得非常大,一但生产,子宫成为真空状态,内脏因不再受压迫而变的非常松垮,若产后即常坐起或走动,因地心引力的关系,将造成松垮的子宫及内脏收缩不良,引起内脏下垂,而「内脏下垂」就可能是所有妇女病的根源。所以产后二周内,除了吃饭及上厕所之外,其余时间,不论是白天或是晚上,均应卧床休息。
 3、勤绑腹带防止「内脏下垂」并「收缩腹部」
 利用生产的机会来调整体型,或者改善身体上的一些症状,是一个很重要的时机,所以很多人会在这段期间用纱布条绑腹,达到调整体型的目的!
 
 坐月子期间必须特别注意防止「内脏下垂」,因内脏下垂可能为所有「妇女病」及「未老先衰」的根源,并会因此而产生小腹,故在坐月子期间须勤绑腹带以收缩腹部并防止内脏下垂,而若原本即为内脏下垂体型者,亦可趁坐月子期间勤绑腹带来改善。。
所使用的腹带为一条很长的白纱带,长约1200公分,宽为15公分,每人须准备二条以便替换。因产后须热补,容易流汗,若汗湿时应将腹带拆开,并将腹部擦干,再洒些不带凉性的痱子粉后重新绑紧。若汗湿较严重时,则须更换干净的腹带,绑法请参考「腹带的绑法」。如果使用一般一片粘的束腹或束裤,不仅没有防止内脏下垂的效果,反而有可能压迫内脏令气血不通畅,使内脏变形或产生胀气而造成呼吸困难或下腹部突出的体型,请特别注意!
腹带的绑法
 1)尺寸:所使用的腹带为透气的白纱布,长1200公分,宽15公分
 2)用量:为产妇自己的功课,因为不穿衣裤(先绑好腹带后再将内裤穿上),平贴皮肤,容易汗湿,每人均需准备2条来替换
 3)功能:.a.防止内脏下垂(一般束腹不适用) b.收缩腹部,消肚子
 4)开始绑的时间:自然产——产后第2天;剖腹产——第6天(5天内用束腹);小产—— 术后第二天
 5)每日拆卸,重绑时间:三餐饭前须拆下、重新绑紧再吃饭;擦澡前拆下,擦澡后再绑上;产后2周24小时绑着,松了就重绑;第3周后可白天绑,晚上拆下
 6)清洗方式:用冷洗精清洗,再用清水过净后晾干即可,勿用洗衣机,因易皱
 7)腹带的绑法及拆法:
 a. 仰卧、平躺,把双膝竖起,脚底平放床上,膝盖以上的大腿部分尽量与腹部成直角;臀部抬高,并于臀部下垫2个垫子
 b. 两手放在下腹部,手心向前,将内脏往「心脏」的方向按摩、抱高
 c. 分2段式绑,从耻骨绑至肚脐,共绑12圈,前7圈重迭缠绕,每绕1圈半要「斜折」一次(斜折即将腹带的正面转成反面,再继续绑下去,斜折的部位为臀部两侧),后5圈每圈往上挪高2公分,螺旋状的往上绑,最后盖过肚脐后用安全别针固定并将带头塞入即可
 d. 每次须绑足12圈,若腹围较大者须用3条腹带接成2条来使用
 e. 太瘦,髋骨突出,腹带无法贴住肚皮者,须先垫上毛巾后再绑腹带
 f. 拆下时须一边拆、一边卷回实心圆统状备用
 4、严禁洗头,但需用正确的方法清洁头皮
 怀孕期间子宫增加的负担是不可言喻的,单看之前与之后子宫的大小就知道,因此,在生产后要使子宫尽快恢复原状。而要想子宫尽快的恢复功能,最重要的便是要将子宫内的污血完全排出,如果能使子宫成为真空状态,则贺尔蒙的分泌将会特别活跃,子宫的功能亦会比怀孕前更好!而洗头,将会严重影响产后恶露的排除,只要头皮一受凉,子宫里的污血马上会凝结成血块不易排出,就算马上吹干也不允许,况且用吹风机来吹头,是很容易引起头风及头痛的。而子宫内的废血若不清除干净,就很有可能会造成荷尔蒙不平衡以及内分泌不
 协调,进而产生许多并发的症状,所以产后三十天须绝对遵守不要洗头,以免后患无穷!
然而产妇的新陈代谢特别旺盛,所以必须用正确的方法来清洁头皮,方法如下:
 
 # 清洁头皮法
 将药用酒精隔水温热,再以脱脂棉花沾湿,将头发分开,前后左右擦拭头皮,稍用手按摩一下头部后,再以梳子将脏物刷落,如此将会感到较清爽,此法可于饭前天天擦拭,或用软梳梳理头发,好让头部气血畅通,保持脑部清新。
 5、二周内不可洗澡,但需用正确的方法擦澡
 为了避免受凉,产后两周内不可洗澡,但要用正确的方法擦澡,第三周起可淋浴,满月后方可泡澡。
 # 擦澡的方法
 用烧开的水及米酒水各半,加入10cc的药用酒精及10公克的盐,掺和着成为擦澡水,用毛巾沾湿、扭干,替产妇擦拭她的肚子及流汗的地方,早上、中午、晚上各一次,若冬天非常寒冷时,则一次就好。擦拭干净后还要抹上不带凉性的痱子粉,肚子上如果绑上腹带,腹带也要适时的更换。
 脸部的清洁与保养
 
 洗脸及刷牙不需用药用酒精及盐巴,但需用温热的水,为预防头风或头痛,绝不能用冷水;另外,脸部的保养,可以使用适合自己的洗面奶及保养品。
 
 局部的消毒
 可以将茶水(即泡茶将茶叶滤掉的茶水)放入适量的盐巴与药用酒精混合使用,再用这样的水来清洗ying部及肛m,有收敛的作用。
 6、不可吹风,不论是热风或冷风
 产后全身的毛细孔,包括头皮的毛细孔都是张开的,此时一吹到风,不论是热风或冷风,毛细孔就会立刻收缩,很容易造成筋骨酸痛、头痛、头风,甚至感冒。
 7、要有舒适的环境,室温维持在摄氏25-28度
 产妇要有舒适的环境,所以夏天太过炎热、或者冬天太冷,均需开空调让室温维持在摄氏25-28度之间,但却要注意不可以吹到风!所以一定要想办法将空调的风完全挡住,不可对着产妇吹,而且产妇须穿长裤、长袖、戴帽子、手套、围巾,并且穿袜子来挡风!
 8、不可碰冷水
 产妇不可碰冷水,以防受凉或产生酸痛的现象,所以举凡擦澡、洗脸、洗手、刷牙或产后第三周以后的冲澡,均需使用热水。
 9、不可抱小孩
 产后最重要的工作无它,就是安心下来,尽情的吃和睡。此时全身的机能均在迅速的恢复中,所以当然不可提重物,更不可抱小孩,否则极易产生内脏下垂的体型。况且,新生的婴儿,骨骼、内脏均尚未发育完全,最好还是尽量让他睡觉,常抱他只会对他造成不良影响。
 10、侧躺喂奶
 至于喂母奶时,也要侧躺在床上,将婴儿放于身侧让他吸奶,产妇可以斜靠,并在婴儿及产妇的背面各放一个大枕头支撑,但要注意不要堵住婴儿的鼻子,以免窒息。
 11、关于母乳
 每一个女人于生产完后,一定都会分泌母乳,母乳的分泌应是很充足的,但若不给婴儿吸食,就无法再分泌出来,即使婴儿一次就全部吸光,母乳的供应仍是源源不绝,因为这是母体的本能。所以若不给婴儿吃母乳,当然是很不好的。若是婴儿的吃奶量很少,则应将每次剩下的母乳都充分挤掉,以刺激下次r房分泌足够的乳量。
 
 产妇若因故临时不亲自喂奶,也要把积存于乳房中的奶挤掉,旧奶积存于r房会使乳房产生硬块或导致乳腺炎,最好在产后的六个月中都能充分的授乳,这是最顺乎自然的育儿原则,不但能保护母亲,而且可减少日后发生乳癌的机会。
如果奶水清淡或不足,不妨于产后第三周起补充花生猪脚;而为了要让产后奶水快速分泌,可于产后第一时间施行"按电铃"(刺激r头)的功课。
 # 按电铃(刺激乳头)法
 a.产后休息恢复后(剖腹产等麻药退干净后)即开始每四个小时按一次电铃(刺激r头),直至奶水冲出来为止。
 b.刺激r头的方法有三种:1.让刚出生的婴儿吸允 2.使用吸奶器 3.请新手爸爸协助以便控制吸力。
 c.注意:每次每边r房不要超过15分钟,但要固定每四小时刺激一次r头,不要间断,直至奶水冲出来源源不绝为止。
 12、不可替小孩洗澡
 前面强调月子期间不可抱小孩,相同的道理当然更不可以弯着腰来替小宝贝洗澡,如果无法做到,那么产后腰酸背痛及手脚酸麻的现象必定会随之而来,所以最好在产前就安排好小婴儿的照顾,或者跟先生商量,产后由先生来帮小贝比洗澡,如此还能增进亲子之间的感情呢!
 13、不提重物,不爬楼梯
 产后半年内均不可提太重的物品,以避免内脏下垂而导致腰酸背痛,而于月子期间爬楼梯更应禁止。
 14、不可流泪
 女性的老化从眼睛开始,所以产后眼部的保养是非常重要的。产妇严禁流泪,俗云:「产妇一滴泪比十两黄金还贵重」,所以伤感的事,如亲朋好友亡故等不幸的事情,绝不能让产妇知道,不能让她流泪,做丈夫的也应该在此时扛起所有的责任,让产妇能安心静养。
 
 产妇如果哭泣的话,眼睛会提早老化,有时会演变为眼睛酸痛、青光眼或白内障的起因。当然,产妇本人也要尽量努力使自己心情开朗,不要担心杂事,要常常微笑,保持心情愉快。
 15、不可看电视及书报杂志
 产妇应尽量少看电视及书报,如果一定要看,则每十五分钟须让眼睛休息十分钟。最好能多听听轻柔的音乐,一方面让眼睛充分的休息,一方面可调整情绪,消除神经紧张。
 16、眼部按摩
 眼睛容易疲劳的产妇,可于三餐饭前及睡前将毛巾沾上热水(可稍热些),拧干后以毛巾热敷于眼部数分钟,再施行眼部按摩。
 # 眼部按摩法
 a.闭上眼睛,张开双肘,将双手中指从鼻梁由下往上推放在额中间的发际。
 b.以拇指腹放在眉头下凹处,用力压、揉,但不能压到眼珠。
 c.两中指仍维持往下压在发际,拇指渐向两侧按压,直到眼尾上方。
 进行眼睛指压以躺卧最为理想,如果不方便,也可以坐在椅子上进行,压揉眼睛时须咬紧牙根,收缩下巴,颈后要用力。如果眼睛疲劳,压起来会有痛觉,但仍要继续指压,直到不痛为止。

 学习一下

七、产前各项准备(落实到人头)
 
 1、 家属负责购买各种药材,包括生化汤的材料及月子饮料的材料。具体如下:
 
 A.生化汤材料:当归(全),川穹,桃仁(去芯),烤老姜,炙草(蜜甘草)。按以上方子购买,1X14份,分别包好。(本来7份就够,但为预防忽然决定剖腹产之需,得多准备)
 B.杜仲粉:21份,分别包好。
 C.山楂肉、荔枝壳、观音串,各分3份包好。
 以上物品在中药店有售,如果没有,请到医院找熟人开。请提前2个月备齐(以防早产)
 
 
 2、 准备腹带,到超市购买米酒、麻油、黑糖、薏仁、莲子、红枣、枸杞、山药、糯米、桂圆、量杯、煮酒锅等。
 
 3、 生产当日,和老公先去医院,家人在家准备产后第一天所需的饮料、食物等,用容器装好,以便生产后立刻能用上。
 
 计:生化汤,米酒水、月子饮料、麻油猪肝,薏仁饭,糯米粥,以及所有家人的食物,可多备一点,在医院微波炉里转转吃。
 
 
 八、总结做月子要点:
 
 1、月子里一定要吃的淡,能不放盐和味精就不放,因为宝宝的肾脏还没发育完全,这对奶水的质量和妈妈的体重都有直接关系,快坚持不下去时,想到自己的身材和宝宝,也就忍啦
 
 2、前两周以排毒为主(猪肝和腰子有助排毒),一定不能吃大补和大热的东东(如桂园和蹄膀等),因为新妈妈经过生育,整个人非常虚弱,这时候大补不但吸收不到精华,且只会长膘,而且这时候长得膘很难减掉,热性的食物对奶水也不好,宝宝吃了容易便秘;
 
 3、尽量用麻油炒菜,麻油有削减脂肪的功效,比一般食用油不长脂;
 
 4、水果一定不能忘,但是前两周也不能大补,道理和2是一样的,多吃些哈密瓜、木瓜、葡萄等,西瓜什么的不要急着吃,因为西瓜太凉性;
 
 5、任何冷的流质食物都要加热后再吃,否则不利于子宫归位,不能刺激肠胃;
 
 6、第4周开始可以补力气了(如鸡肉等),第二个月开始和大家一样吃,但还是要注意清淡,否则宝宝受不了,自己也容易肿;
 
 7、任何要加糖的点心食物都采用红糖,有助于恶露排出;
 
 8、月子里早餐主食是糯米稀粥;中餐主食是薏米饭(薏米有排水消肿的效果的)不吃大米;晚餐主食是鱼汤。鱼汤(老姜用麻油爆的起皮后再煎鱼块,鱼用肉质松软的鱼,加水煮熟,到鱼汤变白即可),淡的,奶水好的小秘诀哦;
 
 9、水份的补充:多喝豆浆,多吃冬瓜对无论是孕期还是产妇都有减肥和减肿得功效,还能提高奶水的质量;米酒煮开代替水喝,将米酒煮开之后,让酒精全部蒸发掉即可。

1. 产后4~6小时之内一定要解小便,要当任务完成,即使你没有感觉。因为在孕期你的宝宝一直顶着膀胱,一旦宝宝出生,膀胱压力一下减小,它就会毫无知觉地膨胀,等你有感觉想尿尿,却会因为压力太大排不出来,如果一直排不出来就要导尿,会给自己增加不必要的麻烦。 2. 恶露 产后2周后会越来越少,如果量没有减少,要看医生。 3. 伤口 顺产都有2公分左右的侧切,一般在左边,所以和孕期相反,要向伤口的另一边,即右侧睡,有助伤口恢复。(剖产没说) 4. 屁屁坐浴 恶露干净后用开水凉后温度在40~50度,倒在干净的专门用来洗PP盆里,把PP悬在水中,不要坐到底。如果盆大,就把腿分开些,反之盆小的话就把腿并拢。坐20分钟,如果期间水变凉了要加热开水保持温度。并在水中坐提肛,收缩会阴的动作7~8次。据说对痔疮和保持会阴弹性有好处。(我觉得先要把外阴和肛门先洗一下,否则水还是脏的。) 5. 产妇房间要通风,至少每天上午9:00左右,太阳出来的时候,下午3~4点。每天至少2次,每次30分钟。通风的时候产妇和婴儿可以换一个房间呆着,或者避风,不要对着风吹。 6. 产妇容易出汗,每天要擦身,分四部分进行,上衣脱去左边就擦这半边,擦完后要立即穿上,然后是右半边,左腿,右腿。不可以一下把衣服全脱掉,否则容易着凉。洗澡要等伤口好了才可以,一定是淋浴,室温不能太低。一定要刷牙,不过因为牙龈的问题要用儿童小牙刷(软毛的)。 7. 做月子不是躺月子,顺产后6~8小时,剖腹48小时要起来活动,自己小便,走动, 注意不要做弯腰的动作,给宝宝换尿布要坐着,否则腰部会有损伤。 8. 吃 原则:均衡全面 1) 产后头三天不能吃油腻的东西,一定要清淡,因为这时乳腺管未打开,吃了大补的东西奶会堵在乳房中出不来,这时宝宝吃的少,吸吮力也小,你就等着受罪把,奶涨又不通会很疼的。要吃的是稀饭,或者山芋稀饭,小馄饨,最多吃河虾面条。 2) 产妇一定要吃热的蔬菜.热的水果(放在热水里温一下) 3) 所有热性的东西:红枣 桂圆,火腿,老母鸡,等等。要在恶露干净后再吃,否则恶露会一直不干净。 4) 红肉(猪,牛羊)白肉(鸡鸭虾)交替吃,红肉补铁,白肉主要是蛋白质,鸡蛋一天最多2个。 5) 喝汤一定不要忘了吃里面的肉,汤里营养最多25%,其余都在肉里。 9. 保护乳房 1) 用专用的小毛巾擦乳房,此毛巾的清洁不能用洗衣粉或肥皂,因为你一天要擦多次,肥皂的碱性会对乳头有刺激,多用了容易裂。要用开水烫好后擦乳房。不要用纱布,有毛絮会残留在乳头上,容易堵。擦完后最多用食用油擦一点在乳头上,保护乳晕。 2) 小孩吸吮要让他含住大部分乳晕,光吸乳头是吸不出多少的,而且对你的乳头会有伤害,把他小下巴往下轻轻拉一下,让他嘴张大些含住大部分乳晕。 10. 顺产2个月,剖腹3个月后才能有性生活,并注意避孕,刚生完小孩再去刮宫对子宫伤害很大,弄不好感染了要切除子宫的。 11.头发 医生建议要剪短,因为产后激素水平下降很快,会成把掉发,头发长的话肯定比短发要看起来掉得多。再者,产后7~10天才能洗头,加上大量出汗,头发长捂着肯定难受。产妇头发可以梳,但是要选宽齿的,轻轻地按摩一下头皮。 12.补充一下,乳垫要及时更换,不要等乳垫硬了再换,胸罩也一样,原则是不让有硬的东西刺激乳头,否则容易破。另外擦身是躺在床上,擦的地方露在外面,其余都要盖好被子,保暖是最重要的,产后体虚感冒了不容易恢复。产后避孕只能用套套。

宝宝方面

1. 鼻 要用专用的小毛巾和盆子给宝宝用。买两种棉签,一种细头的,一种粗头的(质量一定要选好的紧质的,否则一卷掉在鼻子里就麻烦了。细头的用水沾湿了,(不要太湿)轻轻在鼻孔内卷一下。如果有鼻屎,也可以把它沾湿了,宝宝打个喷嚏就会打出来,不要硬挖。 2. 耳 新生儿是容易吐奶的,吃完奶后贴着自己肩部竖抱轻拍令其打嗝。然后慢慢放到床上,往右方侧睡,(在宝宝身后垫个小枕头让他保持侧着),目的是为了一旦吐奶不会呛到气管里,20分钟后再平卧。喂奶前换尿布啊,洗澡之类的都要先完成。如果吐奶,要给他擦干净,特别是耳朵,奶水很容易流进去,要及时清干净,这时用粗的棉签,擦外耳廓。喂奶要左右交替,一个乳房要宝宝吸满10分钟,因为奶分前奶和后奶,前奶提供糖份,后奶提供脂肪,10分钟一般前奶后奶都能吸到,宝宝如果吸了5分钟睡了,揪他耳朵,让他继续吸。如果只喂了一个乳房,另一个乳房一定要用吸奶器吸干净,否则时间长了,大脑会指令这个乳房不产奶,假如盯着一个乳房喂宝宝,乳房会有大小的。 3. 嘴 宝宝的嘴里黏膜是很娇嫩的,绝对不能动,别的地方能洗,嘴不能洗。 4. 眼 如果妈妈体质是内热的话,出生后宝宝眼屎会多,2天后一般会改善,也是用毛巾或棉签擦,眼屎假如一直多,就用棉签沾点金霉素眼药膏擦在外面。 5. 屁屁 女孩子记住从会阴往肛门处洗,每次洗完搽护臀膏在肛门和会阴周围。 6. 脐带 脐带完全好要7~8天,用纸尿布一定要把尿布往下拉一下露出脐带,,每次洗澡后要给脐带消毒,用75%的酒精,沾湿后棉签由内向外擦,每天2次。7天左右结痂,结痂后要把痂松一松,让酒精碰到痂里面(医生说的,听起来有点吓人),这样才好得快。宝宝脐带附近有红肿要送医院。 7. 尿布 天气冷了,家长怕宝宝屁屁冷,把尿布捂热了给宝宝用,这样反而会使宝宝红屁股,一定要冷的放上去,宝宝的屁股和脸都是最不怕冷的。 8. 奶藓 过敏体质的妈妈生的宝宝很容易得奶藓,妈妈这时喂宝宝的话不要吃海鲜等发的东西,宝宝注意晒太阳不能晒头。 9. 新生儿生理性黄疸 一般都会有,是因为胎儿在母腹中靠红血球交换氧气,出生后可以自主呼吸,大量的红血球就会死掉,因为用不上了,死了的红血球没办法很快排出,就堆在皮肤上呈黄色。过14天会消退,不退的话送医院照蓝光。

坐月子的13条秘诀

1.安静休养30-40天 产后最重要的一件事即为“休息”,在这段时间内,产妇周围的亲戚,如娘家的母亲与姊妹、夫家的亲属、当然还有丈夫等,都应同心协力的来照顾产妇,不让她做任何家务,不论贫富或者第几次生产,甚至是小产,都一定要同样的慎重! 2.卧床二周 产后二周内为子宫收缩最快速的时候,若产后即常坐起或走动,因地心引力的关系,将造成松垮的子宫及内脏收缩不良。产后二周内,除了吃饭及上厕所之外,其余时间,不论是白天或是晚上,均应卧床休息。 3.用正确的方法清洁头皮 要想子宫尽快恢复功能,最重要的便是要将子宫内的污血完全排出,如果能使子宫成为真空状态,则荷尔蒙的分泌将会特别活跃,子宫的功能亦会比怀孕前更好!而洗头会影响产后恶露的排除,头皮一受凉,子宫的污血会凝结成血块不易排出。 然而产妇的新陈代谢特别旺盛,所以必须用正确的方法来清洁头皮:将药用酒精隔水温热,再以脱脂棉花沾湿,将头发分开,左右擦拭头皮,稍用手按摩一下头部后,再以梳子将脏物刷落,如此将会感到较清爽,此法可于饭前天天擦拭,或用软梳梳理头发,好让头部气血畅通,保持脑部清新。 4.两周内尽量不要洗澡 为了避免受凉,产后两周尽量不要洗澡,但应该用正确的方法擦澡。可以将茶水(即将茶叶滤掉的茶水)放入适量的盐与药用酒精混合后,来清洗阴部及肛门,有收敛的作用。第三周起可淋浴,满月后方可泡澡。 5.不可吹风,不论是热风或冷风 产后全身的毛细孔,包括头皮的毛细孔都是张开的,此时一吹到风,不论是热风或冷风,毛细孔就会立刻收缩,很容易造成筋骨酸痛、头痛、头风,甚至感冒。 6.室温维持在25-28摄氏度 产妇要有舒适的环境,夏天太过炎热需开空调,让室温维持在25-28摄氏度之间,但却要注意不可以吹到风,而且产妇要穿长裤、长袖衣,并且穿袜子。 7.不可抱小孩 产后全身的机能均在迅速的恢复中,所以不可提重物、不可抱小孩,否则极易产生内脏下垂的体型。况且,新生的婴儿,骨骼、内脏均尚未发育完全,最好还是尽量让他睡觉,常抱他只会对他造成不良影响。 8.侧躺喂奶 至于喂母奶时,也要侧躺在床上,将婴儿放于身侧让他吸好,产妇可以斜靠,并在婴儿及产妇的背面各放一个大枕头支撑,但要注意不要堵住婴儿的鼻子,以免窒息。9.关于母奶每一个女人于生产完后,一定都会分泌母奶,最好在产后的6个月中都能充分授乳,这是最顺乎自然的育儿原则,不但能保护母亲,而且可减少日后发生乳癌的机会。如果奶水清淡或不足,可从产后第三周起补充花生猪脚;而为了要让产后奶水快速分泌,可于产后第一时间施行“按电铃”(刺激乳头)的功课: 产后休息恢复后(剖腹产等麻药退干净后)即开始每四个小时按一次电铃(刺激乳头),直至奶水冲出来为止。 刺激乳头的方法有三种:让刚出生的婴儿吸、使用吸奶器、请新手爸爸协助以便控制吸力。每次每边乳房不要超过15分钟,但要固定每四小时刺激一次乳头,不要间断,直至奶水冲出来源源不绝为止。10.不可替小孩洗澡前面强调月子期间不可抱小孩,相同的道理当然更不可以弯着腰来替小宝贝洗澡,如果无法做到,那么产后腰酸背痛及手脚酸麻的现象必定会随之而来。 11.不可流泪 女性的老化从眼睛开始,所以产后眼部的保养是非常重要的。产妇如果哭泣的话,眼睛会提早老化,有时会演变为眼睛酸痛、青光眼或白内障的起因。 12.少看电视及书报杂志 产妇应尽量少看电视及书报,如果一定要看,则每十五分钟须让眼睛休息十分钟。最好能多听听轻柔的音乐,一方面让眼睛充分的休息,一方面可调整情绪,消除神经紧张

After the first episodes of 16 and Pregnant and Teen mom many more seasons began to come out; four episodes of 16 and pregnant in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and then leading to three seasons of Teen Mom (Teen Mom 2 and Teen Mom 3). Shortly after the shows aired it was said that girls were getting pregnant on purpose just to be on the new television show. The newly show for pregnant girls isn’t helping girls prevent pregnancy. But more of leading girls on to become pregnant just to be a star get their 15 minutes of fame. Is the show really coming off as educational and realistic or are the shows making the girls make bad decisions.

The show was made to be educational and prevent teen pregnancies, to show young girls and boys about the real struggles of being a teen parent, showing the real struggles of parenting.

Teen Pregancy

...Teenage Pregnancy: Acceptance as Pop Culture Our society comprises of many gender niches and roles. Women are sisters, daughters, and most importantly mothers. Motherhood is one of the most cherished roles that a woman can take on. In the past, women were meant to be seen and not heard as their value depended on their ability to bear children and raise them thoughtfully. Even though that has changed and women are expected to gain an education and lead a career, motherhood can still be a main part of their life. However, motherhood does spring upon on some by surprise. Teenage pregnancy in the last few years have been on the rise and has become a problem for some to live up to that expectation of an education and career (Peck). In the past, teenage pregnancy was a taboo. However its discussion has become more widely accepted. Through analyzing the Candie’s Foundation ad in the October 2011 issue of Teen Vogue, it can be seen as an example of the shift in perception of teenage pregnancy in the United States. The Candie’s Foundation is a philanthropic branch from the clothing line Candie’s. The clothes from the Candie’s brand are meant to appeal to teenage girls who dress girly and traditionally feminine. Focusing on the same demographic, the foundation was founded with the goal to raise awareness about teenage pregnancy in 2001, according to their website. The print ads from their current campaign mainly feature female celebrities such as Fergie, Hilary Duff, Ciara, Hayden...

Pregnant Stroke

...In this reflective essay, I will be describing how the midwifery emergency department had helped me develop clinical skills in therapeutic communication using Driscoll’s reflective cycle. Sally was assigned to a hospital for a thorough checked up as she has become a victim of stroke while being 28 weeks pregnant. Due to the stroke, Sally was only able to communicate through nodding her head and answering yes or no. Sue is a midwife and has been appointed to be Sally’s midwife for the time being. As a professional, Sue must go through a procedure to examine her patient and the infant’s health. When Sue first approached Sally, Sue provided information that was needed for patient and her husband. Sue introduced herself and then described the process that she would attempt to do on Sally. I sense this action Sue has taken was able to relieve patient and her husband as they were informed of what would happen in the next few minutes, therefore they would not be frightened. Sue then continue to proceed to the next phrase and started exploring more fully about her patient’s situation. Sue asked Sally some fundamental questions such as “Do you feel the baby moving?” as Sally was unable to speak. Gradually, Sue tried to extinguish the worrying and devastated atmosphere by using a gentle tone, such as “You’ve seen one of these before Sally, this is a doppler.” From my observation, when Sue was communicating with Sally and David, both verbal and non-verbal techniques were used, for...

Pregnant Drinking

...be very dangerous and lead to pregnant women pushing the one glass a day limit to two or three glasses a day, or even to risk binge drinking. Though there are mixed studies on whether light drinking during pregnancy is harmful or not, there are numerous studies that show alcohol consumption is harmful during pregnancy and can lead to things like miscarriage, premature birth, and even fetal alcohol syndrome. Studies show that even low amounts of alcohol consumption during early pregnancy increased the risk of spontaneous abortion substantially. The results indicate that the fetus is particularly susceptible to alcohol exposure early in pregnancy. The body already has a 10-25% chance that it will suffer a miscarriage, and alcohol only increases that risk. The consumption of alcohol lowers the immune system, it lowers the amount of nutrients in the body, it weakens the body’s ability to care for an unborn child, and these lowered states of health can cause the body to reject the fetus. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy also increases the risk for premature birth. The consumption of alcohol can interfere with a woman’s hormones and induce the body to have an early birth. A premature baby can be very small, have undeveloped organs, and is a much greater risk to infections and other complications. Fetal alcohol syndrome is growth, mental, and physical problems that may occur in a baby when a mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy. When a pregnant woman consumes alcohol, the alcohol...

Pregnant Women

...The purpose of this paper is to identify the relevant issues regarding whether or not a pregnant woman should be punished for exposing her fetus to risk. The argument about whether a pregnant woman who exposes her unborn child to illegal drugs during pregnancy should be punished and charged with a criminal act is a very difficult issue. The use of illegal drugs that are known to cause harm and are considered illegal for that reason, they are known to cause harm. As a healthcare administrator, I am concerned with the idea that punishing the pregnant mother may send a message to other women that are abusing drugs during their pregnancy that will frighten them into either foregoing the seeking of substance abuse treatment or some other act desperate measures that will lead them to resulting in an illegal type of abortion, which may cause more harm. There are so many known and unknown risks to the fetus during pregnancy, such as, the exposure to psychiatric medications taken by mothers with mental health issues that could also put the fetus at greater risk, as well as the consumption of fertility drugs and other forms of treatment. To assume that punishment should be automatic assumes a “conclusion that all children exposed prenatally to cocaine would be damaged irrevocably and that their mother’s selfish and irresponsible drug-taking behavior is to blame for a national health tragedy” (Paltrow, 1999). Yet even medical experts cannot conclude with certainty that using cocaine or any...

Who and how money can be an issue and cause problems. Is it okay to have a pregnant woman be put behind bars for the crime she committed?

It all took place between my Grandma’s and my mom’s house which were next door to each other. It all started at my mom’s house when I came out on the porch to tell her, I approached her with sweaty hands and my breathing became rapid and my voice a little shaky when I blurted out, “Mom I’m pregnant!” but when I got the words out of my mouth, she responded with a surprised smile on her face and in a happy yet concerned voice, “I already knew that you were pregnant, but why did it take so long for you to tell me? You’ve graduated from school and you’re not young anymore.” I sat next to her and we talked a little more about the news, even though it was a lie but I told her, “I’m five months and the father moved out of town before I could tell him.” She sat with no response to what I have told her before she asked, “Do you want to tell the rest of the family the good news?” From that point I pulled out my cellphone from my pocket to make the call to everybody informing them of the good news.

Smoking While Pregnant

...ENG 1010 13 March 2014 Smoking While Pregnant There are many health problems that are caused by smoking cigarettes. Many women feel that it only affects them, but if they are pregnant or plan to become pregnant it can cause many health problems for the unborn child. If you are planning on getting pregnant or just found out you are pregnant you need to quit smoking immediately. Smoking causes many problems for you, your unborn child, and there are many ways to quit. When you smoke, you are at risk for many health problems. It harms nearly every organ in your body causing your health to deteriorate over time. It increases your risk of a heart disease and stroke by two to four times (Pg. 1 cdc.gov). Smoking makes it harder for women to get pregnant and harms the sperm in men, increasing the risk of birth defects. Your blood pressure raises due to the narrowing in your vessels, which can cause blockages, clots, and reduce blood flow to your legs and skin. Smoking can contribute to many complications during pregnancy for you and your baby. The baby is at increased risk of low birth weight, premature birth, miscarriage, or stillbirth. It lowers the available oxygen and raises heart rate to you and the fetus. Also, they can have lung problems and have birth defects, such as Orofacial clefts (cleft lip), after they are born.

Addicted Pregnant Women

...Thesis Statement: Drug addicted pregnant women are being treated as criminals instead of women who suffers from a disease of addiction. The underlying issues of drug addicted pregnant women have been overlooked by society for many years. Society believes that these women should be thrown in jail and treated as criminals. Despite the fact that drug addiction has now been declared as an official disease by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Numerous studies have been made in regards to the dilemma that surrounds drug addicted pregnant women. The dilemma argues the point; do these women show any concern for their unborn child, or if their intent is to harm the child. Drug addiction by definition is a condition characterized by an overwhelming desire to continue taking a drug to which one has become habituated through repeated consumption because it produces a particular effect, usually an alteration of mental status. Addiction is usually accompanied by a compulsion to obtain the drug, a tendency to increase the dose, a psychological or physical dependence, and detrimental consequences for the individual and society (Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 2001). The underlying issues of drug addicted pregnant women have been examined by a number of authors who attempted to expose the truth behind why these women are reluctant to seek prenatal care. According to Carolyn S. Carter (2002), in her article she explored societal responses to prenatal drug abuse, including stigmatic...

Pregnant Women Issues

...working part-time as the driver of a delivery truck for UPS when she became pregnant in 2006. Ms Young’s midwife, frowning on the requirement in her job description that she haul 70lb boxes, wrote a note to UPS recommending that “she not lift more than 20 pounds." On this basis, Ms Young requested a few months of a lightened load. Other UPS employees were eligible for such an accommodation, she reasoned, so she wasn’t asking for anything out of the ordinary. Workers who were injured on the job, who were disabled under the terms of the Americans With Disabilities Act, or who lost their driving credentials were all eligible (under the collective-bargaining agreement) for “light duty” assignments. But Carolyn Martin, the company’s occupational health manager, rejected Ms Young’s request. Since pregnancy did not fall into any of the three categories of workers eligible for alternate assignments, UPS would not switch her to a less physically onerous job. Ms Martin "empathise[d] with [Ms Young's] situation and would have loved to help her," but sent her packing on an unpaid leave. The case concentrates on whether the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), a law passed in 1978 that fortified employment protections for pregnant women under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, requires companies to accommodate women like Ms Young. The PDA prohibits employers from discriminating “because of” pregnancy and holds that pregnant women must not be treated...
