Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year, and it has been two or three days since I gave birth to my baby. Recently, I have been doing postpartum recovery at home. My colleagues and friends said that the postpartum period is divided into stages, and I don't understand it either. Could you please tell me which four stages the postpartum diet is divided into?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum, the body is relatively weak. The body feels quite empty, so it's recommended to enhance nutrition appropriately and eat smaller meals more frequently. You can also increase the frequency of evening meals. Generally, this symptom will gradually subside about a month before delivery. There isn't a strict stage distinction, so it's advised that the indoor temperature after childbirth is comfortable. Avoid excessive swelling and enhance nutrition appropriately. Eat more poultry, eggs, and lean meat, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables. Doing more core and glute exercises is beneficial for the recovery of pelvic floor muscles.
