What should expectant mothers pay attention to in the 27th week of pregnancy

After a woman becomes pregnant, she becomes a high-level protected object. People will provide a lot of protection for pregnant mothers, and expectant mothers and fathers will also be prepared in all aspects to welcome the new life. What do expectant mothers need to pay attention to during the 27th week of pregnancy? Let's take a look below.

1. Frequent fetal movements: The fetal movements during this period will surprise you. Sometimes your abdomen will roll like waves, or bulge out a small bag. This may be the baby sticking out his butt or moving his elbows. Now is the peak period of fetal movement. You should check fetal movement regularly to feel the baby's activities.

2. Continuously supplement calcium and iron: Calcium and iron supplementation has always been an important agenda during pregnancy. Now that we are entering the late pregnancy, the demand for calcium and iron is also increasing. You should eat more lean meat, milk, animal liver and vegetables. Of course, food alone can no longer meet the needs of you and your fetus, so the doctor who does your prenatal check-up will prescribe some nutritional medicines for iron and calcium supplements, and you should take them on time.

3. Eat more cereals and whole grains: From now on, you should eat more cereals and beans. You can eat more mung beans, black beans, and some fresh edamame. It is best to cook them with salt and water. There is also corn. Fresh corn is good when cooked or made into soup. The fetus needs more nutrition in the late pregnancy. Supplementing protein and vitamins is important, and it can also prevent constipation.

4. Learn about childbirth: The day of delivery is getting closer. Are you a little worried or scared? Then start learning some knowledge about childbirth now! From now on, you can read more books or watch videos about childbirth to learn more about the delivery process. If possible, you can take some childbirth guidance classes to eliminate your fear of childbirth. You know, only when your physical and mental condition is stable, it will be more conducive to the birth of your baby!

5. Don’t forget to do the “sugar screening”: You must undergo gestational diabetes screening within 24-28 weeks of pregnancy so that gestational diabetes can be detected in its early stages and must not be missed. If you have a family history of diabetes, obesity and other symptoms, you should undergo a sugar screening around 20 weeks of pregnancy. In daily life, you should pay attention to controlling the intake of sugar and fruit. You should know that the more fruit you eat, the better!

The above are some issues that expectant mothers need to pay attention to during the 27th week of pregnancy. After reading them, do you feel that they are very helpful to you? In order to have a healthy baby and for your own health, expectant mothers must remember the above precautions.
