How to prepare for pregnancy with a history of ectopic pregnancy

For patients who have had ectopic pregnancy before, it is quite troublesome to prepare for pregnancy. They will feel a certain fear psychologically. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. This disease generally will not recur, but you must change your bad living habits and try not to stay up late and work overtime for a long time. If you keep yourself in a state of fatigue, it will easily make your body abnormal, which is very unfavorable for preparing for pregnancy.

Picky eating and dieting

During pregnancy, due to the growth and development of the fetus and the needs of the pregnant mother herself, it is necessary to obtain sufficient nutrients from the diet. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, the fertilized egg is in the most active period of differentiation, and various organ systems have not yet formed. At this time, the pregnant mother needs more and more nutrients and trace elements.

If the pregnant mother is picky about food and goes on a diet, the various nutrients needed by the body will not be replenished in time, which will inevitably lead to a lack of trace elements and harm the fetus.

Love junk food

The latest research by American scientists has found that trans fats in "junk food" are an invisible killer of female conception. Trans fats can increase the risk of infertility in women by more than 70%.

Generally speaking, a woman consumes about 2,000 calories from food a day. If 2% of the calories come from trans fats, it means she consumes 4 grams of trans fat every day. This amount is easy to achieve with a pie and a few fries or a donut.

Irregular work and rest schedule

Due to your busy work or rich nightlife, you may have the habit of staying up late, going to bed late and getting up late, and sleeping in during the weekends. These bad habits of irregular work and rest are not good for a healthy pregnancy. If you do not get a good sleep for a long time before pregnancy, your brain will become overly tired due to lack of rest, causing the cerebral blood vessels to be in a state of tension for a long time, resulting in symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, and irritability.

Don't like to do exercise

Proper exercise can not only keep you physically healthy, but also make you energetic and maintain a good mental state. Strengthening physical exercise before pregnancy can also enhance the vitality of sperm and eggs and promote healthy pregnancy. But the more exercise is not necessarily better. Excessive exercise can easily harm the body and lead to counterproductive effects.

Suitable exercises before pregnancy include walking (strolling, brisk walking), jogging, playing ball, swimming, climbing, cycling, aerobics, Tai Chi and other aerobic exercises.

Keeping in good health

Three months before pregnancy, both husband and wife must ensure that they are in good health. If either party suffers from tuberculosis, hepatitis, nephritis, or especially suffers from heart disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, asthma, epilepsy, sexually transmitted diseases, tumors and sexually transmitted diseases, they should not conceive. Even if you recover from the illness, you should wait 3 months before getting pregnant; women who have used contraceptive methods (except condoms) and oral contraceptives for a long time should wait 6 months after stopping contraception before getting pregnant. No matter which spouse puts down the white "magic wand" in their hand and reduces the nicotine and alcohol concentration in their body to zero, they must stop drinking 3 months before pregnancy.

It is best not to keep pets

Keeping cats can cause infection with Toxoplasma gondii because Toxoplasma gondii cannot reproduce without cats. When a cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii, the oocysts first multiply in the cat's intestines and are then excreted with the cat's feces, contaminating the soil, water, and vegetables. Mature oocysts can remain infectious for up to one and a half years. If eaten by humans, it can spread throughout the body through the blood and invade various cells to divide and reproduce. When a cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii, Toxoplasma gondii will also be present in its saliva, and contact transmission can occur by holding and playing with the cat. When a pregnant mother is infected with Toxoplasma gondii, she may suffer from miscarriage, premature birth and deformities in the early stages of pregnancy. In the late stages of pregnancy, it may cause growth retardation in the fetus or multiple abnormalities that mainly affect the central nervous system and eyes, such as hydrocephalus, microcephaly, microphthalmia, anophthalmia and mental developmental disorders. Given that cats are an important link in the transmission of toxoplasmosis to humans, and can also spread rabies, Japanese encephalitis, mycoplasma pneumonia, etc., it is best not to keep cats when preparing to become pregnant or during pregnancy.
