What preparations should you make to get pregnant?

Many people who get married and want to be mothers will inevitably feel nervous when welcoming their baby. I don’t know what preparations I should make to welcome my baby. Today I will tell those who are nervously preparing to become mothers or fathers what preparations they should make for pregnancy. And what to eat after pregnancy is better for the baby in your body.

Physical preparation

1. Vitamin Supplement

If you are preparing to become a mother, you should supplement 0.4 mg of folic acid every day from now on (it is very important, which can reduce the incidence of fetal neural tube defects), and eat more foods rich in folic acid, such as green vegetables, orange seeds, peanuts, eggs, and beans.

The amount should not be too much, nor too little - vitamin A. If vitamin A deficiency is severe, the baby may be born with eye defects, small head, etc. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, such as watermelon, pears, tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, persimmons, etc.

Vitamin D, a vitamin that helps calcium absorption, can promote the normal development of fetal bones and teeth. The content is higher in marine fish, animal liver, egg yolk, etc.

Iron, a mineral needed for fetal hematopoiesis. Animal liver and animal blood are the richest in iron. Meat, fish, eggs, etc. contain more iron. Spinach, potatoes, black fungus, kelp, sesame paste, etc. are also rich in iron. In addition, you can use an iron pan to cook.

Calcium supplement. Develop the habit of drinking milk. Shrimp skin, dried shrimp, kelp, seaweed, black fungus, soybeans, sesame paste, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, and water spinach are good choices for food supplements.

Iodine, a trace element beneficial to brain development. Foods rich in iodine include kelp, seaweed, etc.

Of course, the amount of vitamin supplement is not easy to control. Now there are multivitamin tablets that contain vitamins and minerals that need to be supplemented during pregnancy, including vitamin C and E not mentioned above and the mineral zinc. Amway's multivitamin tablets are also a good choice. Many of my friends are taking them.

2. Quit smoking and drinking

3. Do not take medicine randomly

Otherwise, you may take medicines that are harmful to the fetus without knowing you are pregnant. When seeing a doctor, you should tell your doctor about your condition and try to avoid using medications that may affect the fetus.

4. Understand the health status of you, your husband and both families to avoid congenital malformations and hereditary diseases in the fetus. If you suffer from epilepsy, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases, it is best to receive treatment before pregnancy.

5. Be careful to avoid infections, such as influenza, toxoplasmosis, etc. Do not come into contact with cats and dogs; do not eat raw meat, raw fish or unpasteurized dairy products; do not have close contact with or visit sick family members or friends.

6. Avoid contact with harmful substances such as lead and pesticides.

7. Relax your mind and do some physical exercise

8. Eat nutritious food and drink more boiled water, milk and fruit juice.

9. Use the computer as little as possible. If it is unavoidable, you can choose an anti-radiation apron for pregnant women. Among household appliances, hair dryers and range hoods also emit relatively high radiation.

The above is the answer to what preparations you need to make when planning to get pregnant. For mothers, after the birth of their children, their children become the focus of their lives. Mothers will not feel relieved until they have raised their children to the age where they can live on their own. But for their mothers, their children will always be children, and they will never forget to worry about their children.
