50-year-old amenorrhea and pregnant with second child

With the full opening up of the two-child policy, many women in their forties and fifties now want to have another child. However, for women of this age group, it is very risky to have children. They are prone to pregnancy diseases, and the quality of test tube embryos may not be very high. If these women are lucky enough to have a second child, then we still need to do a good job of pregnancy care. Let’s take a look at what everyone should pay attention to.

Common problems in early pregnancy for older mothers

In the early stages of pregnancy, you must prevent bacterial and viral infections, maintain a stable mood, and don't let yourself be in a state of anxiety for a long time. In the early stages of pregnancy, everyone should try not to use skin care products containing lead or mercury, go to public places less often, and also prevent viral infections such as influenza and herpes simplex, otherwise the incidence of fetal malformations will be greatly increased.

In terms of diet, it is best to eat some high-protein foods and low-calorie foods, such as tobacco, coffee, and foods without alcohol and caffeine are also not suitable. If you need dietary supplements, you should seek help from Chinese medicine according to your physical condition.

Ultrasound examinations are performed at 12 and 20 weeks of pregnancy to see if the fetus has any growth or development abnormalities. AFP testing between 16 and 20 weeks can promptly diagnose nerve damage and liver and gallbladder diseases. There is also amniocentesis in the late pregnancy, which can directly obtain the total number of sex chromosomes, and we can also immediately detect whether the fetus has any abnormalities.

In addition, everyone should pay attention to their blood sugar and blood pressure indicators, because they are prone to pregnancy-related heart disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension and gestational diabetes. Because the body's blood flow will increase a lot compared to the non-pregnant period, the heart burden will also increase, so pregnant women with heart disease may have to terminate the pregnancy early because they cannot tolerate it.

Now we should know what to do if a woman gets pregnant with her second child at the age of 50. In fact, many women at the age of 50 have already entered menopause. The fact that they can get pregnant with a second child at this time proves that their physical condition is actually still good. However, after all, it cannot be compared with pregnant women in their twenties and thirties. Therefore, everyone should do a good job in relevant medical care and must go for regular physical examinations. If one item is neglected, it may cause misfortune to the whole family.
