What are the precautions in late pregnancy?

Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy are very close to delivery, and there are many things they need to pay attention to during this period. Among them, maternal examination is an essential test item for pregnant women in the late pregnancy, because it can effectively infer whether the fetus has entered the pelvis or the time of fetal delivery. At the same time, pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy should also maintain a healthy and happy mood to better welcome the birth of the fetus. Besides this, what else should pregnant women pay attention to?

Precautions and taboos in late pregnancy

1. The late pregnancy is approaching the date of delivery, so you must insist on prenatal check-ups. From 28 to 36 weeks, check at least every two weeks; after 36 weeks, check every week.

2. Improve nutrition, ensure sleep, pay attention to hygiene, and engage in appropriate exercise.

3. Control salt intake, avoid overweight or squatting, avoid bathing in a tub, and refrain from sexual intercourse to avoid premature birth and premature rupture of membranes.

4. Learn self- and family monitoring, be able to listen to the fetal heart rate, count fetal movements, feel the fetal position, measure the height of the uterus, etc. If the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours, the fetal heart rate is less than 120 beats per minute, more than 160 beats per minute, or the movement is irregular, seek medical attention immediately.

What are the things you can’t eat during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, you need to abstain from alcohol, coffee, tea and other drinks containing caffeine and alcohol. You need to avoid pickled and smoked foods, which have high nitrite content and can easily turn into carcinogens. Nitrite is harmful to the mother and fetus. You need to eat less hawthorn, which has the effect of stimulating the uterus, and eating it in large quantities may cause the risk of miscarriage.

After the introduction of the above content, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the precautions and taboos for pregnant women in the late pregnancy. In addition to paying more attention to sleeping posture and nutrition, pregnant women in the late pregnancy should also be more careful when they encounter vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. They should go to the hospital for observation, as the fetus may be born prematurely.
