What should women pay attention to when they are pregnant?

What should a woman pay attention to when she is pregnant? This is also a special concern of female friends during pregnancy. Every family wants to have a healthy and happy baby, so women should pay special attention to their behavior during pregnancy. The most important thing is to use drugs with caution, because the drugs taken by pregnant women during this period will have a great impact on the baby in the belly, so pregnant women should eat less tonics during pregnancy.

Some supplements are not suitable for use during pregnancy:

1. Avoid abusing ginseng. After pregnancy, menstruation stops and blood from the internal organs and meridians is pumped into the Chong and Ren meridians to nourish the fetus. The pregnant woman is in a state of yin blood deficiency and relatively excessive yang energy. Ginseng is a great tonic for the vital energy, which can cause the qi of pregnant women to be excessive and the yin to be depleted. The excess qi will "push" the fetus, causing damage and danger to the fetus, which is not conducive to the safety of the fetus.

2. Avoid abusing tonic medicines. No matter how good a tonic is, it still has to go through the body's metabolic process, increasing the burden on the liver and kidneys and having certain side effects, so it will have varying degrees of impact on pregnant women and fetuses. Some pregnant women took large amounts of royal jelly, which caused severe diarrhea and eventually miscarriage. Regular consumption of ginseng royal jelly, American ginseng pills, Gongbao, etc. will harm pregnant women and the fetus in the womb. During pregnancy, if you suffer from calf cramps, you often take vitamin A and D, which results in an overdose of vitamin A and D and causes poisoning.

3. Avoid hot foods. You cannot eat hot foods during pregnancy, such as dog meat, mutton, pepper, etc. When taking supplements during pregnancy, you should follow the principle of "coolness is better and heat is avoided". Even when eating fruits, you should eat those with mild and cool nature, such as tomatoes, raw pears, peaches, etc.

You should follow the doctor's advice when taking supplements before delivery. Don't be self-righteous and take supplements indiscriminately to avoid harming the health of the mother and fetus. Increase the amount of side dishes and provide more nutritious foods, such as eggs, milk, fish, lean meat, beans, vegetables and fruits. You can also add dry yeast, cod liver oil and calcium tablets. Pregnant women must consume 80 to 90 grams of protein, 1.5 mg of calcium and 2.0 mg of phosphorus every day, otherwise the fetus will be poorly developed and prone to rickets after birth. During this period, the enlarged uterus presses on the intestines, which can easily cause constipation. Therefore, you should drink more water and eat vegetables and fruits rich in fiber and pectin, such as celery, leeks, apples, pears, etc., to facilitate bowel movements.

The fetus grows fastest during the last two months of pregnancy, gaining about half of its body weight. Pregnant women's diet must be rich in various nutrients to ensure the needs of rapid fetal growth. At this time, you should increase the variety of food and make reasonable combinations to achieve food diversification. If pregnant women experience edema, they should adopt a low-salt diet and provide sufficient high-quality protein.

The above are mainly about some related matters that women should pay attention to when they are pregnant. We also know that the body of expectant mothers is relatively weak during pregnancy. Part of the nutrients consumed every day will be absorbed by the baby, so many pregnant women always take a lot of tonics to replenish energy. In fact, this is incorrect. These tonics will more or less have a bad effect on pregnant women and babies.
