Pregnancy precautions

1. Don’t take medicine randomly for colds

Indomethacin is a fever-reducing drug that is contraindicated for pregnant women, and aspirin should not be used after 32 weeks of pregnancy. Antibiotics: If there is no clear evidence of bacterial infection in pregnant women with colds, such as tonsillitis, high blood pressure, coughing up yellow sputum, thick runny nose, etc., antibiotics are not needed. Expectorants and cough suppressants are generally safe, but cough suppressants containing iodine preparations should not be used by pregnant women.

2. What to do if a pregnant woman has diarrhea

Diarrhea in pregnant women may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. First of all, do not eat for the time being, and drink adequate fluids to replenish the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea, especially potassium ions, and also replenish the lost calories. You can prepare some liquid and easily digestible porridge for pregnant women. If the condition is not very serious, it is enough to have an empty stomach. While replenishing fluids, closely observe the fetal condition and whether there are any signs of miscarriage or premature birth. If the fetus is in an abnormal condition, you should go to the hospital immediately and not be careless.

3. Correct sleeping position during pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy (1 to 3 months), pregnant women can sleep in any position they like, as long as they are comfortable, such as lying on their back or on their side. Bad sleeping positions such as sleeping on your stomach or sleeping with your arms around something should be changed.

During the second trimester of pregnancy (4 to 7 months), you should pay attention to protecting your abdomen and avoid direct external force. If a pregnant woman has too much amniotic fluid or is pregnant with twins, she should sleep in a side-lying position, which can make her more comfortable. If a pregnant woman feels heavy in her lower limbs, she can lie on her back and slightly raise her lower limbs with a soft pillow.

During the late pregnancy (8 to 10 months), it is advisable to adopt the left side lying position. This position can correct the right rotation of the enlarged uterus, reduce the pressure of the uterus on the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, increase blood supply to the fetus, and promote the growth and development of the fetus.

4. Pay attention when taking a bath

After a woman becomes pregnant, her sweat glands and sebaceous glands will secrete vigorously, causing her to sweat easily. Therefore, pregnant women should take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, and reduce skin diseases. But you should pay attention to the following matters when taking a bath:

Bathing time should not be too long: When bathing, the poor ventilation, turbid air and high humidity in the bathroom will reduce the oxygen content in the air. In addition, the stimulation of hot water will cause the blood vessels in the human body to dilate, which may cause fainting while bathing. If a pregnant woman takes too long to bathe, in addition to the above situations, it may also cause fetal hypoxia. Therefore, pregnant women should not take a bath for more than 15 minutes at a time, or at a time when they do not experience dizziness or chest tightness.

Pregnant women should avoid sitting in the bath: It is not good for women to sit in the bath. The dirty water after the sitting bath may enter the vagina, and the disease prevention ability of the vagina is weakened, which can easily cause cervicitis, adnexitis, and even intrauterine or vulvar infection, causing premature birth. Don't even go to a public bath to take a bath.

The water temperature should not be too high: According to relevant expert research, if the water temperature for pregnant women to bathe is too high, it will affect the brain development of the fetus. Of course, when hot water raises the body temperature of a pregnant woman by 1.5 degrees above normal, the development of the fetal brain cells may stagnate. When it rises to 3 degrees, the fetal brain cells are in danger of being killed. Therefore, the water temperature for pregnant women to bathe should not be too high.

5. Precautions for pregnant women to watch TV

Avoid watching TV at close range: pregnant mothers should be more than 2 meters away from the TV.

Avoid watching TV for long periods of time: Generally, pregnant mothers should not watch TV for more than 2 hours at a time to avoid excessive use of their eyes, especially pregnant mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome should pay more attention.

Avoid watching scary, tense, or tragic programs, as these programs can make pregnant mothers nervous and cause a special substance to appear in their blood, which will be brought to the fetus through the placenta, making the fetus uneasy.
