Things to know for expectant mothers in the 19th week of pregnancy

When a pregnant woman is in the nineteenth week of pregnancy, the baby's body length is about 15 cm and the weight is about 200 grams. The fetus is also in a stage of rapid changes at this stage. So what do expectant mothers need to know in the nineteenth week of pregnancy, and what changes will occur in their bodies? Next, let me introduce it to you.

1. Sun protection for pregnant mothers: If it is summer now, pregnant mothers must do a good job of sun protection to avoid intensified pigment changes.

2. Excessive worry about the fetus: Even though you are already in the second trimester, you are still worried that something might go wrong with the pregnancy. Obstetricians tell us that even in the middle trimester, the chances of having a healthy baby are already high.

3. What to do if the fetal movement is irregular: First, make sure that your method of observing and calculating the number of fetal movements is correct? If there is no problem, ask your doctor to check it out in time. Understand several situations and treatment methods of abnormal fetal movement.

4. Back pain: Back pain is very common among pregnant women. Most of the time it is because the extra weight changes the body's center of gravity. As the weight increases, the body becomes less active and cannot fully stretch and sit up straight.

5. Can you take a plane? The answer is yes, but it is not recommended for pregnant women to take a plane during the early stages of pregnancy and after 8 months of pregnancy. Although it is relatively safe for pregnant mothers to fly now, there are still a few issues that need to be paid attention to. Let’s find out what pregnant women should pay attention to when flying.

If you pay attention to your breasts, you will notice that the color of your areola and nipple are getting darker and your breasts are getting bigger. This is normal and is in preparation for feeding your baby. Now you should pay attention to the maintenance of your nipples and breasts. As your breasts become larger, your mammary glands will also develop. If you neglect breast care, the breast tissue will become loose and the milk ducts will develop abnormally, resulting in a lack of breast milk after giving birth.

Breast care includes choosing a suitable bra. Some pregnant women with flat nipples or inverted nipples can use nipple correction tools for correction. In addition, you also need to do breast health massage exercises, gently massage from the four sides of the breast to the center, and start breast and nipple maintenance massage at the right time, which can make the nipples tough and upright, which is conducive to the baby's sucking in the future.
