What to do if you feel weak after childbirth? This is the exercise that pregnant women need most

Many pregnant women often suffer from postpartum weakness. Pregnant mothers who feel weak after childbirth often think that they should rest more and avoid exercise due to weakness. But in fact, this view is incorrect. So what kind of exercises should you do when you are weak after childbirth?

1. Bend your elbows and raise them:

Sit upright with your legs naturally apart, bend your elbows and raise your hands to the sides with your fingers straight up. Raise both hands at ear level, until you feel a stretch in your sides. Then recover and do it ten times in a row. This movement can relieve shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.

2. Selling short:

Sit upright with your left arm naturally bent at the elbow and placed on your legs. Bend your right elbow with your palm facing up, and do parabolic movements 3-5 times. Then place your right arm on your leg and do a throwing movement with your left hand, doing the same as with your right hand. Can be done five times a day.

3. Leg swing:

Sit upright with your feet hanging naturally. Slowly turn your body left and right three times, then let your feet hang in the air. Swing back and forth more than ten times. This movement can move the waist and knees, and has the effect of benefiting the kidneys and strengthening the waist.

4. Waist massage:

Sit upright, undress, loosen your belt, rub your hands together until they feel slightly warm, then place your hands on your waist, rub your waist up and down until you feel warm. Rubbing the waist is actually a self-massage of the Mingmen, Shenshu, Qihaishu, and Dachangshu acupoints on the waist. Most of these acupoints are related to the kidneys. When rubbing until it becomes hot, it can help dredge the meridians, promote qi and blood circulation, warm the kidneys and strengthen the waist.

5. "Blow" skill:

Stand upright with your feet together, cross your arms and raise them above your head, then bend over. Touch the ground with both hands. Then squat down. Put your hands on your knees and silently repeat the word "blow" in your mind. It can be done continuously for more than 10 times and it belongs to the “blowing” skill among the “six techniques”. Regular practice can strengthen the kidney qi.
