Almost all women feel discomfort in the abdomen after childbirth. This is because the disrupted muscular system as the abdominal muscles and muscles of internal organs that have long been in a choked condition. On his stomach in women after childbirth as much fat.

What is needed

Status of the abdomen after delivery is poor, as most of the uterus led to considerable tension and weakening of the abdominal muscles. In some cases, the muscles are no longer able to keep the internal organs, causing a hernia developing anterior abdominal wall (umbilical hernia, hernia the white line of the abdomen, and so on).

State changes and internal muscles and ligaments that support the internal organs may come their omission, and even loss (eg, uterine prolapse).

Finally, the woman's abdomen after birth looks ugly, he droops because of the stretched muscles and a large amount of fat. This state of the abdomen requires recovery. The best thing about it with the help of recovery postpartum bandage.

What will

Postnatal bandage - a special device that holds the abdominal wall from sagging, prevents the output of the internal organs through the weakened muscles of the anterior abdominal wall (hernia) and supports the abdominal organs and pelvis, not letting them fall down.

Postnatal bandage is recommended to wear in the hospital (in some cases, put it in the day of delivery) - it helps to reduce the muscle of the uterus, a more rapid recovery and its formation of the correct position of all the organs of the abdomen and pelvis. In addition, postpartum bandage relieves the spine, which is already tired of the heavy loads during pregnancy - it prevents the development of hernias of intervertebral discs, sciatica, relieves pain and fatigue in the back.

This should not be worn postpartum bandage

Assigns wearing postpartum bandage doctor. Contraindications for use bandage after birth are:

• wounds and inflammation of the anterior abdominal wall (eg, inflammation of the joints after cesarean section - in this case it is recommended to wear a special brace for women after caesarean section);

How are post-natal bandages

Considered the highest quality post-natal bandages, made of cotton and microfiber. They do not squeeze the stomach, and it is only slightly reduce a skipping while air and absorbing moisture. In some cases, cotton fabric combined with nylon, cotton but at the same time is a must material for interior decoration postpartum bandage.

The mandatory elements of any post-natal band is supporting dense paste on the abdomen and elastic band at the waist. How much do you need to pull the stomach, woman decides itself and can either increase or decrease the degree of compression of tissue by means of special fasteners.

Today produced postnatal bandages variety of shapes: low (navel), high (up to the mammary gland) in the form of panties stretch fabric with a tight insertion into the abdominal area, a trouser (to the ankle or knee) and so on. There postnatal bandages as a belt or elastic band that is worn on the waist and fastened under the belly.

There are also special post-natal bandages, which are designed for women after cesarean section, they fix postoperative seams, promoting their rapid healing.

Postnatal bandage is comfortable and inconspicuous to wear, wear it or directly on the body or underwear.

How to choose

Selecting postpartum bandage - a serious matter, incorrect tire can deliver a lot of trouble a woman. Therefore, we must pay attention to the fact that the body contacting layer of the shroud was made from natural materials, breathable and absorbs sweat. The product must also be tiered fastener to change the degree of compression of tissue.

What matters is correctly matched the size of the shroud, this woman needs to know the amount of their waist and hips. Dimensions of tires in the form of elastic bands are equal to the size of women's underwear and bandages pant - size laundry pre-pregnancy size plus one. In general, post-natal bandage, first of all, to be comfortable for the woman who chooses it.

Postnatal bandage will help restore the health of a woman after childbirth.

When planning a second or subsequent pregnancy, a woman thinks about how it will proceed, what to expect from the complications of childbirth, and secondly whether they would be. As a rule, the second birth as second pregnancy will not be similar to the first, as you'd like or not like the expectant mother. As the saying goes: "You can not enter the same river twice." It argued that the second childbirth occur much faster and easier than the first. We could not agree on a number of reasons.

Repeated birth

Repeated generations - is the second, third and subsequent generations. Their durability and ease of flow and affect the health of a woman and her lifestyle, trauma and fatigue. They, of course, shorter than the first birth and is associated with the genital tract of women willing to leave, the ability to more easily stretched, and thus the open cervix during labor.

For the second birth in the first period

As already mentioned, the cervix is ​​"remembers" previous generations, and therefore its opening will be faster and, most importantly, less painful. In addition, the expectant mother ready to fight psychologically and physically, know how to breathe correctly How to breathe correctly - modern and traditional techniques When and where to massage for pain relief, which is necessary to strike a pose for the convenience and rapid cervical dilatation. Repeated childbirth preparation contractions occur quickly and quietly, and often they immediately become generic. As a result, during labor multiparous women shortens with 10-12 hours, which is typical for the first birth, up to 6-8 hours.

During the second delivery in the second period

The second stage of labor, or the period of the expulsion of the fetus is known to be accompanied by vain attempts and childbirth also has its differences during repeated childbirth. Woman in labor already familiar with the mechanism and attempts will be more productive and more correct to push, and in the intervals between contractions easily restore breathing. Also plays a role, and the physiological state of the side of the birth canal. The child is much easier to "go" on the road, beaten firstborn. Fabrics extensible crotch, reducing the risk of fractures and eliminates the need for episiotomy. All this can not affect the duration of the bearing-down period, and he also shortened to about five minutes.

Repeated birth after cesarean

In this situation there are two options: independent labor or repeated cesarean section. Today, the phrase loses its relevance as favorite obstetrician: "Once a cesarean - always a cesarean." Currently, it is permissible to allow the woman independent labor under the following conditions: There are no indications for surgery, were in the last time, a wealthy scar on the uterus and the physical condition of the pregnant woman. So if, for example, was malposition (breech or transverse) during a previous pregnancy, it does not indicate that during pregnancy the situation is repeated again and again need a cesarean section. So why would a woman for the second time not to try to give birth vaginally?

Causes of complications during the second birth

• Maternal age;

The woman is not getting younger with time and this absolute truth. Of course, in 20 years, bear and give birth to a healthy baby is much easier than 35. With age, a woman's body accumulates various toxins (industrial hazard, smoking), and she appeared chronic diseases that can not affect the pregnancy and natural childbirth . The eggs get older, it can cause congenital abnormalities or deformities of the fetus.

• Chronic diseases;

Chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease , Heart disease, hypertension and others can weight the second delivery that requires additional monitoring during pregnancy and birth in a specialized hospital.

• Abortions and miscarriages in between births;

It is known that scraping Scraping - heavy and unsafe procedure   the uterus can not pass without consequences. Abortion and miscarriage may lead to low placentation and placenta previa, which will affect the re-birth. In addition, delivery in these women may be disturbed uterine contractility and lead to anomalies generic forces or bleeding.

• Postponed inflammatory diseases of the genital or uterine fibroids.

Inflammatory diseases also leave their mark and influence the re-birth as well as deferred abortions. With uterine myoma Uterine fibroids - when surgery is needed?   a woman can "give" bleeding during childbirth or uterine inertia forces and so on.
