What should you pay attention to after pregnancy?

For every family today, pregnancy is not just a matter for women alone, it brings joy to the whole family. And after pregnancy, they will often receive a lot of special care, usually including psychological, dietary and lifestyle aspects. Women should also pay more attention to themselves after pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy when the embryo has just implanted and will appear more fragile. The following editor will introduce some things that women should pay attention to during pregnancy.

01The real joy of pregnancy test

Doctors remind that once you find out you are pregnant, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to confirm the result. If you are already 1-2 weeks pregnant, you can check whether the embryo is implanted in the uterus correctly and stably. If there is a problem (such as ectopic pregnancy or hemorrhagic miscarriage), you can respond and treat it as soon as possible. 4 weeks is generally considered pregnancy. The heartbeat can only be seen after 7 weeks.

However, according to statistics, even if the embryo is seen in the early stage, 15% to 20% of the embryo may still have no heartbeat. Therefore, pregnant mothers are reminded to avoid consuming foods or taking medicines that may harm the embryo at this time.

02Find the right doctor and hospital

Every pregnant mother has different needs, such as: distance from home (convenience of prenatal check-ups to delivery), large hospitals or clinics (completeness of equipment and prenatal check-up items), familiar or reputable doctors (personality chemistry and peace of mind), etc., which are all items that pregnant mothers often consider.

Doctors suggest that, first, you should observe the conditions of the hospital or clinic more. If there are almost no pregnant women visiting, it may not be a hospital that specializes in pregnancy and childbirth, so it is better to consider more before making a choice. Secondly, if the pregnant mother is in a high-risk group, such as those with gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes or multiple births, it is recommended to go to a large hospital for a prenatal check-up to facilitate tracking and responding to subsequent changes.

03Maintain from the early stages of pregnancy

Depending on the situation during pregnancy, the standard weight gain is about 9 to 12 kilograms. The doctor said that if the pregnant mother is tall and thin, there may be room for gaining a little weight, but if she is short and fat, even 6 kilograms would be considered a lot. Therefore, through routine prenatal check-ups, the hospital will help pregnant mothers test their blood and measure their weight. If they find that the weight gain is too fast and too much, they will remind them to pay attention. The ideal state is an average weight gain of no more than about 2 kilograms per month.

04 Balance between mood, family and self

Some pregnant mothers are more mentally fragile, easily nervous, and uncertain about many things. They always ask questions to medical staff during every prenatal check-up. For such pregnant mothers, health education courses are usually arranged, or they are advised to actively find and read information in magazines, books, newspapers, and the Internet.

But the most important thing is whether family members can provide care and support. Doctors say that some pregnant mothers often fall into depression due to pressure from their elders (such as mother-in-law and mother). At this time, the gentleman as the intermediary plays a key role. The most important thing is to provide a certain degree of care and support, change the family's attitude, and accompany the pregnant mother through the low period.

05Be careful and cautious

During the entire pregnancy period, movement is relatively inconvenient and strenuous movements that require excessive force or uneven force should be avoided. In addition to the fact that pregnancy is not stable enough at the beginning and you need to be more careful and focus on keeping the fetus, when the condition is more stable in the middle and late stages, it is recommended to engage in gentle exercise, such as swimming or walking, which will be very helpful for subsequent delivery.

Since pregnant mothers are in the late stages of pregnancy and may face delivery at any time, it is recommended to avoid traveling far away as much as possible to avoid being caught off guard when something happens.

During pregnancy, since the fetus also needs to absorb a lot of nutrients from the mother, women should pay more attention to a balanced diet and try to eat more fresh, seasonal vegetables and fruits. In the early stages of pregnancy, you can also take appropriate supplements of folic acid and vitamins to effectively prevent fetal malformations and have physical examinations on time.
