In China, it is necessary for pregnant women to have confinement after giving birth. In some places, the time of imprisonment is one month, while in others it is 42 days. Although the length varies, this process basically happens to pregnant women all over the country. Moreover, in the process of confinement, there are some corresponding rules in various places. Although there are some differences in different places, pregnant women are basically required to stay in bed for more than one month, and during this period, they can't drink cold water, can't blow their hair, and even some families ask not to take a shower or brush their teeth.

The custom of confinement hardly exists in Europe and America. Many women drink cold water directly after giving birth, and some even eat cold drinks. Of course, not only women, but also many foreigners have no habit of drinking boiled water, except when making tea. So it is strange for many foreigners to see that China people never drink cold water. Besides, go out after giving birth. For example, Princess Kate always goes barefoot and wears a skirt to meet people only three days after giving birth.

Many people think that this is a racial difference, and they think that their race and physical quality are good. In fact, this has nothing to do with race, but with personal physique. I've had children myself. Because I am a student myself, many old rules were not observed during the whole confinement period. For example, for a whole month, I washed my face, brushed my teeth and ate fruit, but there were some days in dentine hypersensitivity when I felt uncomfortable biting fruit, but I was fine after taking a few dollars of medicine. Eight years later, there was no root cause. For another example, I walked around the field a few days after giving birth, but because it was a caesarean section, I sweated all over without taking a few steps at first, and then I recovered slowly, and now my physical fitness is also very good. My other colleague is not so lucky. In the second month, she got rheumatism for some reason. Illness tortured her for several years, and then she recovered slowly through various treatments.

Therefore, confinement is like a pony crossing a river. Everyone's physique is different, and I can't say what others do, let alone compare China people with foreigners. Moreover, in the modern medical system, 42 days after delivery is called "puerperium", and pregnant women will suffer great losses after delivery, especially the reproductive system will take some time to resume production, which usually takes about 42 days. Therefore, it is scientific for China people to have confinement, but some bad habits, such as confinement, no bathing, no brushing your teeth and so on. In the past, when the living conditions were bad, my mother might catch a cold after taking a bath, and then she would die, so there were rules such as not taking a bath after childbirth, but now that the living conditions are good, these can be completely avoided, so scientific confinement is the best.
