Instructions for Vaginal Delivery Postnatal Care
在平安的自然生產後，以下為可能遇到的情形供您參考：
After a safe virginal delivery, the following are circumstances which you may encounter:
1.子宮：
(1)產後24小時內，一旦發現子宮鬆弛或柔軟情形，就應予以按摩直至子宮收縮變硬為止（按摩的原則是軟的按摩成硬的，不是硬的按摩成軟的）。
但突然發現有大量血液流出，請立刻與護理人員聯絡，才能為您做妥善處理。
(2)生產後第一天子宮底維持在肚臍的高度，爾後每日下降一指幅，直至產後10天～二週之內子宮底已下降至骨盆腔內，腹部則幾乎摸不到。
(3)子宮恢復初期，由於強烈收縮所以會有「產後痛」，持續3-4週後即消失。
1.Uterine:
(1)In 24 hours after the delivery, once you discover the uterine to be loose or soft, give massage until the uterine contracts to a hard state (the massage principle is to massage soft uterine into hard uterine rather than hard uterine into soft state).
However in case of discovering sudden surge of blood, please contact with the nurse for proper treatment.
(2) The bottom of uterine in the first day after delivery will be maintained at the height of belly button and will then descend by the distance of one finger every day until the 10th day to 2 weeks after the delivery, where the uterine declines to the pelvis cavity and could not be felt when touching the abdomen.
(3) Uterine recovery will have postnatal pain due to the strong contraction at the early stage, which will disappear in 3~4 weeks.
2.惡露變化：產後胎盤剝離後，子宮內分泌物經由陰道排出，前二、三天量較多，顏色鮮紅，腥味重；五、六天後至產後十天量較少，顏色逐漸呈紅褐色，此種情形有時可能維持至二～三星期，完全乾淨需四～六星期。
【若含大量血塊或鮮血湧出，請立即告知護理人員或返診檢查】。
2. Changes in lochia: After the placenta has elevated, the uterine secretion is discharged through the virginal. More amount will be discharged for the first 2~3 days with red color and strong smell.
The secretion will become less in 5~6 days to 10 days after delivery, where the color gradually turns dark color.
This circumstance could last for 2~3 weeks and will become completely clean in 4~6 weeks(in the event of large blood chunks or surging blood, please immediately notify the nurses or return for revisit).
3.會陰沖洗：產後第一天由護理人員每天為您沖洗並檢查傷口及子宮收縮狀況，其餘時間請儘量保持清潔及乾爽，至少3-4小時更換產墊，大小便後以沖洗器裝開水自行洗，預防傷口感染。
3. Perineal Douche: The nurses will rinse and check your wound as well as uterine contraction on the first day after delivery. Please keep the perineal clean and dry at all other times. Change the pad in every 3~4 hours. Rinse with the flusher filled with drinking water after urination and bowel movement to prevent wound infection.
4.飲食：產後一般沒有禁忌，而以下食品食用時，請您稍加注意：
4. Food: There is no taboo after general delivery. Please pay attention to the following food:
※酒類食品：
產後一週暫勿食用，若需進食酒類品請酌量，以免影響傷口癒合及子宮收縮。
※Alcohol food: Avoid eating such food in one week after the delivery.
Please take moderate amount of alcohol based food to avoid affecting wound healing and contraction.
※生化湯：產後3天內暫勿食用，因生化湯是一種子宮收縮劑，若子宮收縮疼痛厲害，請暫時停止食用等待疼痛緩解後才食用。
※Shenghua Soup:
Do not take this medicine in 3 days after delivery.
Shenghua soup is a type of contracting agent and severe contraction will cause extreme pain. Please suspend taking the medicine after the pain is alleviated.
5.安全問題：
產後身體比較虛弱，第一次下床時需有家屬陪伴，以免暈厥而發生意外傷害。
5. Safety issues:
The body is weak after giving birth and requires the company of family when getting off the bed for the first time to avoid injury due to passing out.
6.排尿：6-8小時內應自然解小便，若無法自行解小便請通知護理人員。
6. Urination: You should be able to urinate naturally in 6~8 hours.
If not, please notify the nurses.
7.疼痛：當子宮收縮或傷口疼痛厲害時，應暫時停止按摩，休息後若仍疼痛不舒服，請告知護理人員，將依醫師囑咐給予止痛藥。
7. Pain: When the uterine contracts or the wound hurts a lot, stop giving massage temporarily. If pain continues after some rest, please inform the nurses and receive painkiller according to physician instruction.
8.束腹帶使用：產後即可使用。
8. Use of binder: Use after delivery.
9.產後性生活：一般只要產後夫妻雙方做好溝通，心理建設完全，且傷口已沒有任何不舒服的感覺即可開始。
9.Postnatal sex life: In general as both couple communicates after delivery with mental readiness, while the wound no longer feels discomfort, then the couple may begin the sex life.
