What should I check 42 days after delivery?
Mother's examination items 42 days after delivery
1. Weighing: This is the simplest item, but don't ignore it. Weight is the most convenient health standard for self-test. New mothers might as well prepare a convenient weighing scale at home, pay attention to their weight at any time and have a balanced diet.
2. Blood pressure measurement: The normal blood pressure of adults should be 120/80mmHg. Mom's blood pressure is different after pregnancy. Some mothers also suffer from pregnancy-induced hypertension. Postpartum blood pressure will generally return to the pre-pregnancy level. If the blood pressure has not returned to normal, we should find the cause in time and treat the symptoms.
3, urine routine: suffering from pregnancy poisoning, when the mother felt uncomfortable urination, need to do urine routine examination. On the one hand, we can see whether pregnancy poisoning has returned to normal, on the other hand, we can check whether the mother who has discomfort in urination has urinary tract infection.
Blood routine: pregnant mothers with anemia and postpartum hemorrhage should review their blood routine, and if they have anemia, they should be treated in time. If the mother has symptoms such as high fever, she needs to have a routine blood test to determine whether there is inflammation in her body.
5. Pelvic organ examination: Pelvic organ examination is the most important examination 42 days after delivery, which can best see the postpartum recovery of the parturient.
6. Contraceptive guidance: This one is unique in postpartum review. "Lactation" is not a "safe period". Mothers must take effective contraceptive measures, and getting pregnant again will do great harm to the recovering body. As for what kind of contraceptive measures to take, mothers can make full use of the opportunity of this examination to consult gynecologists and then adopt the most appropriate contraceptive method. Generally speaking, for lactating mothers, taking birth control pills can't achieve contraceptive effect, but condoms and upper birth control rings are a good choice. The mother who gave birth naturally can go to the ring after 3 months, and it takes half a year for caesarean section.
Can lactation menstruation affect breast milk?
Most mothers are very sensitive, especially those who love their children, and are more likely to reel off the cocoon when facing problems related to their children. All the situations should be clarified, and the minor problems of not sleeping should be clarified. Many mothers who have menstruated during lactation will be more worried. Will this have any bad effect on their baby's ration-milk?
Actually, there is no need to worry so much. During the whole lactation period, the change of milk composition is most obvious in fat, followed by protein, with less sugar and inorganic salts. Protein synthesis in breast milk is regulated by prolactin. The fat and sugar in milk are regulated by cortisol and insulin, and also influenced by maternal nutrition and water intake.
Thirdly, 60 days after delivery, prolactin level basically returned to normal, and protein content in milk began to decrease. The nutrients in milk are influenced by many factors, so the nutrients in milk in different periods are not exactly the same.
Therefore, mothers can rest assured that menstruation during lactation has no effect on the milk itself and will not affect the healthy growth of the baby.
