Eighteen weeks pregnant

At eighteen weeks, the baby will go through some common pregnant women's experiences, mainly some pregnancy reactions. At the same time, the appetite and growth of the baby are also very important. The uterus of the expectant mother in eighteen weeks of pregnancy is constantly growing, the center of gravity of the body is also changing, and she feels some inconvenience in movement. At this time, you must not wear high heels but should choose flat shoes.

When necessary, some ultrasonic examinations can be done to check other types of developmental conditions of the child. Expectant fathers and mothers should learn to test the fetal heart rate by themselves. Insisting on prenatal examinations and paying attention to urine tests for babies who pass B-ultrasound can protect the baby's healthy development.

1. Learn to self-measure the fetal heart rate of your baby: In the fourth month of pregnancy, the doctor can hear the amplified fetal heart rate with the help of a Doppler fetal heart monitor, and the expectant mother can also hear it at the same time. From 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope. Expectant mothers and fathers can also learn to listen and practice self-monitoring.

2. Insist on prenatal checkups and pay attention to urine tests: It is very necessary to do urine tests this month, especially for expectant mothers with high blood pressure, they should regularly test urine protein to detect the possibility of combined pregnancy-induced hypertension in time.

3. Understand the development of the fetus through B-ultrasound : Expectant mothers need to have another B-ultrasound in the second trimester, usually between 18-22 weeks, to check the growth and development of the fetus, determine whether there are any congenital defects, and check the placenta and umbilical cord. During an ultrasound examination, you can see the fetus kicking, flexing, stretching, rolling, and sucking its thumb on the screen of the instrument.

4. Working mothers-to-be should pay attention to proper rest: Expectant mothers must pay attention to rest. Fatigue is not good for both the expectant mother and the fetus, and will also lead to low body resistance. Even if the expectant mother does not feel tired during work, she should take a short break, even if it is only for 5 minutes. Expectant mothers who sit in the office for a long time can put a small cushion under their feet to elevate their feet and prevent edema. Don't always maintain the same posture; change your posture frequently to reduce fatigue.

5. Adjust your mindset and avoid anxiety: Pregnant mothers in the second trimester have accepted the changes in their roles both in appearance and in their thinking. However, there are still worries and fears from time to time. If you see any descriptions such as "cleft lip" or "dementia child", you will worry about the fate of your unborn baby. At this time, the expectant father should participate more in the process of nurturing the baby, and infect his wife with his happiness and rationality, such as telling his wife jokes and telling her interesting stories about other friends' children. I believe this will make his wife feel a lot more relaxed.

The above are common symptoms during the eighteenth week of pregnancy. Adjust your mentality and avoid handing it over to your colleagues. You must pay attention to some nipple care in your life. You can do some ultrasound examinations to check some other types of nipple inflammation. These can greatly reduce some nipple mastitis. These are all in daily life. In daily life, you must do a good job of diet health care and some other types of health care.
