In maternity homes of our country there is the rule: already on second day after the delivery women begin to do gymnastics. Whether not too early? No, it is a high time because gymnastics — mighty prophylactic of many postnatal complications.
Instruction
1. Under the influence of physical exercises the muscle tone of the uterus raises and outflow of lochias from it improves. And it is very important as their stagnation can contribute to the development of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the uterus — the endometritis. The gymnastics has beneficial effect on function of intestines and bladder. Thanks to exercises quickly are reduced and become stronger stretched during pregnancy and childbirth of the muscle of the stomach and crotch that helps to avoid possible omission or even the falling of the vagina and the uterus.
2. Systematic gymnastic activity provides fast restoration of forces and working capacity as nervous system becomes stronger, the dream, appetite, mood improves.
3. There is, at last, one more — and for the young woman important — the argument in favor of gymnastics: it gives the chance to keep symmetry of the figure, flexibility. Alas, many suffer because that the stomach after the delivery remains big, flabby, drooped. That it didn't occur, it is necessary, without wasting time, to begin to strengthen the anterior abdominal wall.
4. Some women lay all hopes on the fact that the bandage will help "to pick up" the stomach. And it is vain! The postnatal bandage, of course, is necessary, but it only supports the stomach, interfering with its otvisaniye. To achieve that muscles gradually returned to that state in what were before pregnancy, only systematic physical exercises will help.
5. The gymnastics is contraindicated, for example, to those who have diseases of heart, lungs, kidneys, who during childbirth or after them had serious complications. And if in the maternity home to you the gymnastics wasn't appointed before starting it after the extract, by all means consult with the doctor of clinic for women or district clinic. In case it is recommended to you, be engaged daily, at the same time. Best of all in the morning till the breakfast or one and a half-two hours later after it. Occupation duration — not less than 15 minutes. The most suitable suit — sports.
6. Before starting occupations, well air the room and empty the bladder. Perform exercises in that order in what they are put here: in the beginning easy, then harder and harder, in conclusion again lungs. Some women believe that exercises only for the stomach are after the delivery necessary. It is incorrect. The exercises strengthening muscles of all body including the prelum abdominale are necessary.
7. Perform exercises without tension, they shouldn't cause exhaustions. You breathe exactly, quietly, rhythmically. Finish occupations with the hydrotherapeutic procedure — the shower or rubdown. Water temperature in the beginning — 35 — 37 degrees, and in process of accustoming of the organism it is possible to reduce it gradually.
8. You watch the health. If there is the feeling of weakness, weakness, slackness, pain, the sleep is interrupted, there are bases to believe that the exercise stress is excessive. In that case it needs to be reduced and to consult surely to the doctor.
