What are the health care measures during childbirth?

Under normal circumstances, maternity care during the postpartum period includes maintaining balanced nutrition, getting appropriate rest, postpartum care, postnatal recovery exercises, and emotional regulation. The details are as follows:

1. Balanced Nutrition

Women in the postpartum period require additional nutritional support to meet the body's needs for recovery and milk production. It is recommended to consume foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, such as fish, lean meat, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Adequate fluid intake should also be ensured.

2. Appropriate Rest

Adequate rest after childbirth is crucial for physical recovery. New mothers should make full use of their baby’s sleeping time to rest and ensure sufficient daily sleep. At the same time, activities and rest should be reasonably scheduled to avoid excessive fatigue.

3. Postpartum Care

The body requires proper care after delivery, including cleaning of the perineal area, management of vaginal bleeding, wound disinfection, and regular changing of sanitary pads. It is important to keep the perineal area dry and clean to prevent infection. If any abnormalities occur—such as excessive postpartum bleeding or wound infection—medical advice should be sought promptly.

4. Postnatal Recovery Exercises

Appropriate physical activity after childbirth helps with bodily recovery and rehabilitation. Postnatal exercises can assist in contracting the uterus and pelvic floor muscles and help restore pre-pregnancy body shape. However, medical advice should be consulted before starting exercise, and suitable types of postnatal exercises and appropriate intensity levels should be selected.

5. Emotional Regulation

Mood fluctuations after childbirth are normal, but excessive anxiety, depression, or low mood may affect physical recovery and postnatal care. It is recommended to regulate emotions through communication with family and friends, participation in postnatal recovery programs, maintaining a positive mindset, and seeking psychological counseling when needed.

In summary, if patients experience any discomfort, they should seek timely medical attention to prevent adverse outcomes.
