O-type blood women should pay attention to pregnancy

No matter what blood type women have, they should pay attention to their body care when they are pregnant so that they can have a safe fetus. Many people may experience bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy. If this happens, don't panic too much. At this time, you must first find the real cause before you can provide targeted care to avoid more serious consequences. It will also be accompanied by very strong symptoms of morning sickness.

Pregnant women may experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, food pickiness, loss of appetite, mild nausea and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy. This is medically known as early pregnancy reaction, and folkly known as "morning sickness." Because nausea and vomiting are more severe in the early morning on an empty stomach, it is also called "morning sickness."

Causes of morning sickness

Affected by endocrine factors, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) will rise rapidly after pregnancy. The higher the concentration of this hormone in the blood, the more severe the morning sickness will be. Under normal circumstances, HCG will begin to decline after ten weeks, and therefore the symptoms of morning sickness will also improve. For this reason, pregnant women with twins or hydatidiform mole usually have higher HCG levels and naturally more severe morning sickness.

During the embryonic period, the prototype of the fetus undergoes subtle organ differentiation in the mother's body, and tissue cells begin to differentiate and "reorganize" to form the various organs of the fetus. At this time, the fetus is most actively developing, and it is a self-defense reaction to protect the embryo from toxic substances.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the mother's body resistance decreases. In order to prevent the mother's immune system from rejecting the fetus, she experiences morning vomiting to spit out harmful toxins in food, prevent food poisoning, and protect the fetus.

The common cold has mild symptoms, such as clear runny nose and sneezing, which have little effect on the fetus. There is no need to take medicine. You will be fine after a few days of rest. However, in the early stages of pregnancy (5 to 14 weeks), which is mainly the time when the fetus's embryo develops and its organs are formed, if you catch influenza and your symptoms are severe, it will have a greater impact on the fetus. Taking medication during this period also poses a greater risk to the fetus.

The first 3 months of pregnancy: During these 3 months, pregnant women should not take any medications. If they catch a cold, they should be treated according to the following two situations.

Case 1: A cold without fever, or a fever with a body temperature not exceeding 38 degrees.

Case 2: If a pregnant woman has a fever of over 39 degrees when she catches a cold and it lasts for more than 3 days.

If a pregnant woman catches a cold within 2 weeks after ovulation, she can take medicine without affecting the fetus. If you catch a cold 2 weeks after ovulation, taking medicine may affect the fetus because the fetus's central nervous system has begun to develop at this time. In this case, the doctor may advise the pregnant woman to terminate the pregnancy.

Mid-pregnancy: Medication should be used with caution at this time. Drugs that are harmful to the auditory nerve, such as gentamicin, streptomycin, and kanamycin, should be used with caution. If you have a fever, you can ask your doctor to choose some Chinese herbal medicines with fewer toxic and side effects. Isatis root, isatis indigotica leaf, forsythia suspensa, notopterygium wilfordii, honeysuckle, etc., which have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying and resisting viruses, have good therapeutic effects.

Common anti-cold medicines such as Quick-Acting Cold Capsules, Ganmaotong, Contac, Baijiahei, Combid, Kegankang, Kuake, etc., most of these medicines contain histamines and should not be taken. If a cold is accompanied by a high fever, it usually indicates that the condition is serious and you should see a doctor immediately. Do not take antipyretics, as they are contraindicated for pregnant women.
