"A couple in which one partner is an only child can have two children." Following the central government's decision to launch the "single" two-child policy, many families want to have a second child. For mothers who have had a second child by caesarean section, they should be aware of the importance of controlling the weight of the second child.

As living conditions are getting better and better nowadays, expectant mothers are particularly prone to nutritional deviations. They eat too well and grow too fat, so that their children are often over 8 kilograms when they are born, becoming giant babies.

Because mothers of second children have given birth to children before, their abdominal muscles are relatively loose. In addition, they are relatively older and less willing to move, so they are more likely to give birth to older children. As the child grows older, the rates of difficult births and surgeries will inevitably increase, which will cause greater harm to the mother. Therefore, mothers of second children must control their weight while ensuring nutrition. Otherwise, if they are too heavy, they are prone to diabetes, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, etc. during pregnancy, which is very troublesome. In addition, there is increasing evidence that the occurrence of many mental illnesses is related to the early life environment, including nutritional status. Diseases such as depression and schizophrenia are related to early nutrition. In addition, mothers of second children who exercise more during pregnancy can promote fetal brain development, calcium absorption, and the development of sensory organs, etc.

Whether a mother of two can successfully give birth to a second child should first consider the issue of age. Generally speaking, the appropriate interval between two births is 4-5 years. Women over 35 are considered advanced maternal age. If both husband and wife are old, the quality of eggs and sperm will decline, and the chance of problems with the fertilized egg will increase. In addition, women's physical functions decline with age, and the risk of developing various complications such as gestational hypertension during pregnancy is also high. Therefore, whether it is the first or second child, it is best to have a child under the age of 35. If you are over this age, you must go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up before pregnancy.

Many women choose cesarean section for their first child, which poses a hidden danger to having a second child. The uterus that has undergone a cesarean section is a scarred uterus, and the possibility of placenta previa is increased, and most of them are invasive placenta previa, which makes it easy for pregnant women and children to have problems during pregnancy and delivery. The most undesirable situation clinically is cesarean scar pregnancy, where the embryo grows on the scar left by the previous cesarean section. It accounts for 15.2% of the cases and has the risk of causing uterine rupture and postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, if the first child was delivered by cesarean section, the second child must have more prenatal checkups, paying close attention to the condition of the uterus and fetus, and seek medical attention immediately if there is bleeding, abdominal pain, etc.

As we age, our body's metabolism slows down and the calories we take in may not be burned off. Therefore, older mothers are more likely to gain weight and develop gestational diabetes, so it is best to go to a nutrition clinic to monitor their nutritional status. In addition to controlling diet, exercise is also a good way to control weight.
