What do you need to prepare for having a second child?

Regarding the question of what preparations are needed to have a second child, relevant personnel said that as long as our age permits, we can get pregnant again, but women with IUDs must pay attention to removing the IUDs in the first three months, and go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and evaluations, and then plan their pregnancy. At the same time, we also need to be careful about diet and avoid eating raw or cold foods and drinking alcohol, so as not to cause harm to our children.

What preparations should be made before having a second child?

For "single" families planning to have a second child, preparation is very important. After the implementation of the "single" second-child policy in Shandong Province, women who are of appropriate age and wish to get pregnant again should have their IUDs removed three months in advance, go to the hospital for relevant examinations and assessments, and plan for conception. Routine pre-pregnancy check-ups include: gynecological internal examination, leucorrhea routine, cervical scraping, infrared breast ultrasound, abdominal B-ultrasound (uterus + appendages), urine routine, blood routine, hepatitis B two-pair-and-a-half + hepatitis A and C antibody test, renal function, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, full set of teratogenicity (rubella, toxoplasmosis, syphilis screening), chromosomal abnormalities, internal medicine examination, and six items of sex hormones. In addition, folic acid supplements are needed during the preparation period for pregnancy and the three months before pregnancy to prevent fetal malformations.

In addition, in terms of diet, do not eat raw, cold, spicy food, do not drink alcohol, do not eat bitter melon, nuts, and longan. Increase nutrition with light and nutritious foods, such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products. Eat mainly protein-rich foods and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins. Do not use skin care products that irritate the skin. You can choose a fragrance-free, pigment-free facial cleanser that is less irritating, or baby soap or shower gel.

Generally speaking, if the first child is born naturally, then the recovery period is relatively short. Generally, after one year, the physiological functions of the woman after childbirth are basically restored. After examination, if the reproductive system such as the fallopian tubes and uterus are normal, you can consider having a second child. Director Chen explained that this is to allow the uterus to recover better and ensure that the body is fully adjusted before having a second child.

The secret of having a second child, a girl

Foreign studies have shown that men with more sperm are more likely to give birth to boys, while men with fewer sperm are more likely to give birth to daughters. According to this reasoning, if you want to have a boy, you need to abstain from sex for a few days before ovulation so that men can produce the maximum amount of sperm and increase the chances of Y sperm and egg conception. If you plan to have a girl, there is no need to abstain from sex. Just maintain a normal frequency of sex (such as every 3 days). It is best to choose the day of conception 2 days before ovulation.

In terms of sexual positions, it is recommended to adopt the traditional man-on-top position as much as possible, and the insertion should be shallow. At the same time, avoiding orgasm will also reduce the chances of conceiving a boy. Please note that one week after sex may be the pregnancy period, so it is best to abstain from sex.

The sex chromosome combination of girls is XX, so if you want to have a girl, you must try your best to increase the chance of X sperm combining with the egg. Therefore, women who are preparing to become pregnant should maintain the acidity of their bodies, so as to hinder Y sperm and help X sperm to fertilize smoothly. According to research, X sperm prefers an acidic environment, so in terms of diet, women should consume more acidic foods, such as meat, chicken, egg whites, peas and cereals.
