After all, the postpartum period is important for the whole family. «Being» Moms, I hope, remember your feelings in the first days after childbirth and, maybe complement the article with useful comments.

Psychological sensations

It is believed that the new Mom should experience a bright euphoria after it made a charming baby. In fact, the psychological state of a woman after delivery to a greater extent depends on how difficult it is or on the contrary, childbirth. Therefore, among the first sensations of the women in labor may experience:

• fatigue, exhaust;
• excitement, joy;
• frequent mood difference from joyful excitement to fatigue and even depression;
• disappointment by childbirth and themselves;
• increasing confidence in their forces, and in its importance;
• a sense of lack of competence and knowledge regarding the care of the baby;
• feeling of a turning point in life and concern about this;
• discontent with their appearance.

As you can see, a set of sensations is quite diverse and a bit paradoxal. Although, if you think about it, nothing surprising in it. Birth of a child puts a young woman for a new position in society and family for her. These are very serious changes in life. In addition, you should not forget about intensive physiological restructuring of the body. The field of childbirth quickly decreases the level of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Therefore, in the case of a negative emotional state and the woman itself, and its loved ones need to be understood that the hormonal background is controlled in many ways. Do not worry about this. Typically, the mental state is rather quickly normalized. The main thing is to secure the possibility of resting and not to demand too much.

The obstever will surely ask; Whether the female has grown? The reduction of the voltage of the bladder contributes to a better reduction in the uterus. In addition, the timeline emptying of the bladder is important for protection against the infection of the urethra.
5. Possible constipation, the abnormal work of the intestine in the postpartum period can be explained by the psychological factor - the fear of painful sensations, the unusual situation, too much concentration of attention on this process. Physiologically problems with a chair after delivery are explained by the temporary weakening of the abdominal muscles.
6. Strong sweating for 1-2 weeks, which is a completely natural process of output of excessive fluid from the body. In itself, this phenomenon contributes to restoration after pregnancy.
7. Redness of the eyes - the phenomenon is temporary, it is explained by the breaks of small capillaries during severe swelling.
8. Pauses of nipples and swelling of the breasts are experiencing almost all. But these phenomena pass, as soon as regular feeding of the child is being established.
9. On the third or fourth day is possible temperate temperature lifting. This is due to the tide of milk in the chest. However, the rise in temperature should be short-term. If the temperature is not normalized within 4 hours, you should consult with your doctor.

Returning from the maternity hospital, do not grab immediately for household goods. Rest, deliver small pleasures. Usually, children are quiet at first. Most of all in the world they need Mamino Milk, gentle touch and good long sleep. Take advantage of this period to restore strength and health, dear moms.
