What is considered fatigue for pregnant women?

Pregnant women are not allowed to engage in physical labor during pregnancy, nor can they overwork. Overwork means exceeding the body's tolerance, which will cause pregnant women to experience weakness in the limbs and fatigue. Therefore, pregnant women should pay more attention to rest and do appropriate activities. As for the criteria for judging overwork, pregnant women can understand the content introduced in the article to avoid physical fatigue affecting the normal development of the fetus.

Symptoms of overwork in pregnant women

1. Frequent dizziness and headaches

If the expectant mother does not usually suffer from dizziness and headaches, but recently feels dizzy and headaches frequently, it is likely caused by excessive fatigue. If the expectant mother is particularly busy every day and her brain is always in a state of high-speed tension and excitement, there will be insufficient blood supply, causing neuralgia. When the expectant mother feels a headache, it will affect the oxygen supply to the baby. Over time, the baby is prone to lack of oxygen in the stomach, which will affect the baby's intellectual development.

2. Feeling dry and sore eyes

Many working expectant mothers do office work and need to work with computers for a long time. After a day's work, their eyes will definitely be tired. If you feel sore, swollen, dry eyes, or blurred vision, these are signs of excessive fatigue. Our eyes are an organ that consumes a lot of energy and blood. Long-term use will lead to loss of energy and blood in pregnant women, and the eye's adjustment, lubrication, and vision will be weakened. Nowadays, many young expectant mothers often look at their mobile phones. Some even stay up late to look at their mobile phones. The damage to their eyes can be imagined. Expectant mothers who have this habit should change it!

3. Slow response and low efficiency

There is a saying that is quite true: pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. What this means is that pregnant women will become slow to react from the time they become pregnant to the time they raise their children. Sometimes when someone says something to you, it takes you a long time to react. In fact, it's not that you've become stupid, it's that you're too tired. After pregnancy, the belly gets bigger and bigger. Wouldn't it be tiring to drag your heavy body to work? Not to mention after delivery, as all mothers know. Therefore, expectant mothers should do things within their means, center everything around themselves and the fetus, and avoid doing things that are too stressful, otherwise it will be a thankless task and, most importantly, it will not be good for the fetus.

4. Stiff shoulders and neck

The previous discussion was about working expectant mothers. Now let’s talk about pregnant women who are taking care of their babies at home. Compared with working outside, expectant mothers who rest at home are so happy, but you will also be overworked! Your tiredness is due to lack of exercise, lying or sitting for a long time, playing with mobile phones, watching TV and becoming a homebody. After a long time, you will feel stiff neck and shoulders. If you maintain the same posture for a long time, the cervical vertebra will degenerate, the ligaments will relax, and the muscles will spasm, causing cervical fatigue, which will radiate to the shoulders and neck, causing stiffness and numbness. If this happens, you should stand up and move around. Moderate exercise will make your body more comfortable and help with childbirth!
