Diseases Occured in Pregnancy

We discharge mothers who have given birth from the hospital 24 hours after normal delivery and 48 hours after cesarean section, unless otherwise stated.

The postpartum period is a 6-week (40-day) period after delivery. During this period, while the internal and external organs of the mother return to their pre-pregnancy size, her breasts enlarge due to milk secretion.

During the puerperium, it is normal to have bleeding in the form of a discharge from the vagina, which we call lochia.

In the postpartum period, the mother's uterus becomes hard, stone-like and gradually shrinks. There may be difficulty urinating, anemia, weakness, constipation, sweating, mild groin pain, and emotional changes.

What Should Be Considered After Cesarean Section?

You waited 40 weeks and you finally got your baby, but you may not be able to enjoy it for 1-2 days due to your gas problem, due to your stitches after cesarean section. During this period, I recommend that you give yourself time to heal without getting stressed and get support from your surroundings. The maternal instinct will be inevitable.

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, early mobilization (walking) will be beneficial in terms of eliminating flatulence problems and faster recovery of the body.

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is okay to take a shower on the 2nd day after cesarean section.

10 days after the cesarean section, you can apply special creams recommended by your doctor to prevent scarring on your stitches.

You should not lift heavy for at least 6 weeks.

You should pay attention to your diet.

Since breastfeeding is very important for both the mother's health and the baby's health, you should pay attention to breastfeeding.
