老美也"坐月子":

1. 自然分娩後何時恢複日常活動?

 

Resuming Usual Activities Following Your Vaginal Birth:

Baths
(泡澡)

Two weeks — this allows time for healing to occur, although sitz baths are OK immediately after delivery.

Showers
 (淋浴)

Immediately

Lifting
 (>15 pounds)
(提15磅以上的重物)

One week, give yourself permission to rest and recuperate from the “work effort” of labor. Do not try to do too much too soon.

Walking
(走)

Immediately

Climbing stairs
(上樓梯)

Immediately

Sexual intercourse
(性生活)

After six-week postpartum visit/instructions. Remember, you can become pregnant even if you are breastfeeding. We recommend that you wait until after you see your obstetric care provider.

Home activities
(家務活)

Give yourself permission to rest and recuperate. Wait two weeks before you resume strenuous cleaning activities.

Driving/travel (local)
(短途開車/旅行)

Immediately, if you can walk without discomfort and are not dizzy or bleeding excessively, the short drives will do no harm. On the other hand, having a friend or relative drive you around may be preferable.

Driving/travel
(long distance)

(長途開車/旅行) 

After six-week postpartum visit/instructions.

Back to Work
 (回去上班)

After six-week postpartum visit/instructions.

 


2. 剖腹產後何時恢複日常活動?

 

Resuming Usual Activities Following Your Cesarean Birth:

Baths
(泡澡)

Two weeks — this allows time for healing to occur.

Showers
 (淋浴)

Immediately, but allow water to run gently over your incision, not hit it directly.

Lifting
 (>15 pounds)

(提15磅以上的重物)

 After postpartum visit/instructions — although your abdomen looks well healed, your inner tissues and muscles require at least six to eight weeks to resume their usual strength. Do not risk injuring these healing structures by exerting yourself.

Walking (short distance)
(短距離走路)

Immediately, but pace yourself and do not allow yourself to become fatigued or overly tired.

Climbing Stairs
(上樓梯) 

One week, except when obviously necessary.

Sexual Intercourse
(性生活)

After six-week postpartum visit/instructions. Remember, you can become pregnant even if you are breastfeeding. We recommend that you wait until after you see your obstetric care provider.

Home Activities
(家務活)

Give yourself permission to NOT do housework — four weeks at least!

Driving (local)

(短途開車)

Three weeks — you must be able to apply the brakes without experiencing ANY hesitation due to abdominal pain or pain from your incision. Practice this in the car before actually going out for a drive. You must be able to react rapidly to any automobile emergency. Do not take any chances. Let someone else drive.

Driving (long distance)
(長途開車)

After six-week postpartum visit/instructions.

Travel (local)
(短途旅行)

Two weeks, let others come to you.

Travel (long distance)
(長途旅行)
