What should pregnant women pay attention to in the 13th week of pregnancy

Pregnant women should be very careful at every stage of pregnancy, whether it is diet, sleep and so on. However, many pregnant women, especially those who are pregnant for the first time, do not know what they should pay attention to in the 13th week of pregnancy. Let's listen to the experts' introduction below.

1. Secretion of colostrum: Some pregnant women's nipples will secrete some white liquid, which is the very precious colostrum. Even though you're still several months away from giving birth, your breasts have already begun producing colostrum.

2. Vaginal discharge: Vaginal discharge increases during pregnancy, but if there is any pain, burning sensation, foul odor, or color other than white in the vagina, it is unhealthy and you should seek medical attention immediately.

3. The best sleeping position for pregnant mothers: After long-term clinical research and practice on the sleeping position of pregnant women, medical experts have confirmed that during pregnancy, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, lying on the left side is the best sleeping position for pregnant women.

4. Don’t forget to exercise: In order to ensure a smooth delivery and postpartum recovery in the future, pregnant mothers should do some appropriate exercise now. For example: walking, prenatal exercises, yoga, etc. No matter what you do, you must choose the sport that is suitable for the pregnant mother.

5. Travel in the second trimester: Now that the intense pregnancy reaction has passed, the expectant mother has a certain ability to withstand the hard work of traveling and a happy mood, and the fetus has initially "gained a foothold", so now is a good time for pregnant mothers to travel. In order to ensure a relaxing and pleasant journey, safety protection for pregnant mothers during the journey is absolutely essential!

6. Can you still use your cell phone? Reduce the time you use your cell phone, whether it’s day or night. Although there is no definitive answer on whether cell phones can harm the fetus, it is still recommended that you use your cell phone as little as possible and keep calls short. Using a hands-free headset is also one of the measures. Let’s take a look at what other “invisible killers” around us expectant mothers need to pay attention to – radiation!

The above is the introduction made by relevant experts to pregnant women in the 13th week of pregnancy. I hope that pregnant women at this stage must pay attention and always keep in mind the precautions introduced above. Some pregnant women do not pay attention to these, so they only realize the seriousness of the matter when they cause harm to themselves and their children.
