Changes in the expectant mother in the sixth week of pregnancy

Many women will have some reactions after more than a month of pregnancy, that is, after the sixth week of pregnancy. Some will have severe vomiting, and some will have acne on their faces. Because the pregnancy period is short, many people do not know whether they have a baby. Therefore, when you feel uncomfortable or have such symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

During this week, expectant mothers may already notice signs of pregnancy. You start to feel lazy and drowsy during the day. I am really tired of talking and don’t want to do housework. I just want to stay at home quietly. There is no change in your figure and your weight may even decrease, which is normal. It is best not to travel now, as excessive exercise may cause miscarriage.

1. Go to the hospital for a confirmation check: If you have not done an early pregnancy test, you can go to the hospital for a relevant physical examination now to get definite information. Some hospitals may ask expectant mothers to do B-ultrasound to find out whether there is any abnormal pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole. Relax and actively cooperate with the doctor's examination.

2. How to calculate the baby's expected date of delivery: Subtract 3 (or add 9) from the month of the mother's last menstrual period to get the month of the baby's birthday, and add 7 to the first day of the mother's last menstrual period to get the baby's birthday. So when should we subtract 3 from the month? When should we add 9 to the month? There are 12 months in a year. If the number after adding 9 is greater than 12, then we use the subtract 3 method to calculate; if the month of the last menstrual period is less than or equal to 3, then we use the add 9 method to calculate.

3. Be alert to the occurrence of threatened abortion: Threatened abortion is prone to occur in early pregnancy. If the expectant mother experiences lower abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding, she must go to the hospital to see a doctor immediately.

4. There are many benefits for expectant mothers to eat more nuts: During pregnancy, the nutritional needs of expectant mothers and fetuses increase. Some small snacks such as nuts can supplement nutrition and replenish physical strength. Such as walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds and so on.

Women should have felt something in the sixth week of pregnancy, but they are not sure whether they are pregnant. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a large hospital for an ultrasound to determine whether you are pregnant. This way, you can better protect yourself in the coming days and provide your baby with more nutrition.
