Precautions during mid-pregnancy

Basic considerations

The second trimester of pregnancy refers to the period between 4-6 months. The fetus develops rapidly during this period. After 16 weeks of pregnancy, fetal movement can be felt and the fetal heart beats regularly. In order to promote the good development of the fetus in the mother's body, pregnant mothers certainly have many things to pay attention to. For example, drink more water, eat more fiber foods, and avoid spicy and dry foods.

Dietary precautions

Maintain regular bowel habits and do not strain during bowel movements. Drink more water and eat more fiber foods. Do light exercise every morning and evening, such as walking, gymnastics, etc. Avoid spicy and dry foods.

Moreover, persistent constipation during pregnancy can easily cause hemorrhoids; in addition, the enlarged uterus during pregnancy will compress the anus, hinder blood circulation, cause blood stasis and cause hemorrhoids. To avoid hemorrhoids, you must first prevent constipation.

In the three months before preparing for pregnancy, eat more lean meat, eggs, fish and shrimp, animal liver, beans and bean products, seafood, fresh vegetables, and seasonal fruits. Men should eat more eels, loaches, pigeons, oysters, sparrows and leeks.

Proper sex life

During the 4th to 6th month of pregnancy, although sexual life is not strictly restricted, it should be moderate. Since your pregnancy reaction has passed at this time, your mood begins to become comfortable. The secretions of the sexual organs also increase, and this is a period of high sexual desire, so you can have an appropriate sexual life. However, you need to be moderate and pay attention to the position and time of sexual intercourse to avoid affecting the fetus.

Prenatal check-up

Have regular prenatal checkups: once a month before 7 months of pregnancy; once every 2-3 weeks after 7 months; and once a week as the due date approaches, to understand whether the fetal position is normal and whether there are any pregnancy complications, so that they can be discovered and corrected early to avoid unexpected dystocia.

Precautions in late pregnancy

During the late pregnancy (8 to 10 months), the fetus gains weight fastest, including bone development and fat storage. Therefore, in addition to consuming sufficient carbohydrates and protein foods, pregnant women can also increase fatty foods appropriately. They especially need to supplement calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus and other trace elements, such as animal liver, seafood, bone soup, etc.
