What are the preparations during pregnancy?

Our female friends will all have the opportunity to become mothers. When our female friends become pregnant, there will be more things to do and more things to worry about, especially the things to prepare. Before the little one is about to come into this world, our adults have to prepare a lot of things. So what should we prepare? I believe some friends still don’t know, so let’s take a look at what preparations are needed during pregnancy.

1. Sleepiness in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women often feel tired and want to sleep easily. In fact, there is no need to worry too much, as sleepiness is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Doctors point out that the increase in pregnant women's basal metabolism, changes in the maternal endocrine system during pregnancy, rapid consumption of calories in the body, and insufficient blood sugar are all causes of drowsiness. In addition, at the beginning of pregnancy, the psychological impact of anxiety and expectation is actually greater than the physiological impact. Mothers imagine that the new life growing in the womb has an angelic face, but they are also worried about whether the fetus is healthy and whether its body shape is deformed. The feeling of pregnancy that is both exciting and fearful of getting hurt makes new mothers even more exhausted.

2. Be careful of abnormal abdominal pain in early pregnancy

Abdominal pain during pregnancy is very common. There are many reasons for abdominal pain. Some are normal phenomena of pregnancy, while others represent serious illnesses. The most common cause of abdominal pain in early pregnancy is the enlargement of the uterus and the extension of the uterine ligaments. Usually this pain is not severe and may cause some discomfort but will not affect your daily life. The location of the pain is not fixed, sometimes in the left lower abdomen, sometimes in the right lower abdomen, and the pain lasts for a very short time.

After a doctor's examination to confirm that there are no other abnormalities, this type of abdominal pain usually does not require special treatment. However, if the pain is severe, you can ask the doctor to give you painkillers or further diagnosis and treatment to find out whether there are problems such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian tumors, etc.

3. Avoid going to high temperature places in the early stages of pregnancy

Saunas can promote the body's metabolism, but for expectant mothers, if they are in a high temperature state for a long time and cannot dissipate heat, it is likely to cause fetal malformations. This is because the fetus has not yet formed in the early stages of pregnancy and the embryo is not stable in the uterine wall. If the pregnant woman raises her body temperature above 38.9°C, it will cause chromosome breakage in the embryo or fetal brain and nervous system defects (such as anencephaly). Studies have shown that women working in iron factories in Eastern European countries are more likely to give birth to deformed babies than the general population.

Pregnant mothers should:

1). Maintain regular bowel habits and do not exert excessive force during bowel movements.

2). Drink more water.

3). Eat more fiber foods.

4). Do light exercise every morning and evening, such as walking, gymnastics, etc.

5). Avoid spicy and dry foods.

Persistent constipation during pregnancy can easily lead to hemorrhoids; in addition, the enlarged uterus will press on the anus, hinder blood circulation, cause blood stasis and cause hemorrhoids. To avoid hemorrhoids, you must first prevent constipation.

The above is what we want to tell you about what preparations to make during pregnancy. I believe that our female friends here have a very clear answer to what to prepare. There are many issues to pay attention to during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers are requested to pay more attention to the issues mentioned above to avoid causing changes in the fetus.
