The first baby had no reaction, the second baby had a big reaction

After the national birth policy was relaxed, many couples chose to prepare for a second child, especially some women in their late 40s who have a greater desire to have a second child. However, as you get older, you need to pay attention to all aspects. After becoming pregnant with the second child, you will compare it with the first. Some women say that there was no reaction to the first child but a big reaction to the second child. This is actually very normal. Pregnant women’s pregnancy reactions can be strong or weak, and the most obvious symptom is vomiting, which requires careful care.

1. How to relieve the severe reaction of second pregnancy

1.1. Reaction 1: Nausea and vomiting

Eat small meals frequently, but avoid fasting. Eat light food and try not to eat food that is too salty, greasy or has a special smell; foods such as biscuits, bread and soda crackers can reduce the discomfort of morning sickness. After eating a dry snack, you should wait an hour before drinking water.

Replenish water and avoid dehydration. Bananas and sports drinks can help replenish electrolytes in the body. Keep the indoor air fresh, open windows frequently for ventilation, and avoid places with odors.

1.2. Weakness in limbs and easy fatigue

Eat less or no cold, indigestible food. Appropriately reduce the amount of exercise and workload, and get enough rest in the early stages of pregnancy. Supplementing more electrolytes can relieve symptoms of dizziness and weakness in the limbs.

1.3 Insomnia

Sleep should be regular and quantitative. It is better to sleep on your left side to prevent obstruction of venous return in the lower limbs. You can use warm baths and hot milk to induce sleep. When taking a bath, the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees. Adding a little lavender bath salt in the bath water will help you fall asleep more. Relax your mind, close your eyes and talk to your baby in your heart when you can't sleep.

2. How to treat severe reactions during second pregnancy

2.1. Physiological treatment of early pregnancy

If the early pregnancy reaction is mild, no treatment is needed and the symptoms will disappear naturally after 3 months. If the reaction is severe enough that you cannot eat or drink water, you should go to the hospital to check whether your urine is positive for ketone bodies. If necessary, you should receive an infusion to supplement a certain amount of glucose, vitamins and water.

2.2 Early pregnancy psychological treatment

The most important thing is to be mentally prepared for pregnancy. Emotional instability can cause early pregnancy reactions, and the husband's care is crucial at this time. The husband should understand the psychology of the pregnant woman and solve the problem she is most worried about, which is often better than the best medicine. In addition to the care of the husband, relatives and friends around her should also care about her, so that the pregnant woman feels very warm living in this family and social environment.
