What are the hazards of gas to pregnant women?

The gas we come into contact with most often in daily life is mainly gas produced by burning natural gas and coal. The former is often used when we cook, and the amount inhaled is generally not large. However, the latter is likely to have a greater impact in many rural areas where coal burning is the main method of heating, especially after pregnant women inhale coal gas, there are concerns about adverse effects. So, what harm does gas do to pregnant women? Let’s take a look below.

Is it harmful to inhale a small amount of gas during early pregnancy?

From the perspective of eugenics, it has a certain impact, but it is not significant. It is recommended that you check the intellectual development of the fetus during the 15th to 20th week of pregnancy, and do a four-dimensional color ultrasound examination during the 22nd to 26th week of pregnancy to understand whether the fetus has any gross malformations and the development of major organs. Generally there is an impact but it is not significant. Coal gas will usually cause hypoxia and fetal movement disorder, so don't inhale too much gas in the future as it will cause poisoning. Inhaling too much can cause fetal hypoxia and may lead to miscarriage.

At the same time, pregnant mothers can go to the hospital to breathe some oxygen, and then eat some detoxifying fruits to eliminate toxic substances as much as possible. During pregnancy, pregnant women should generally avoid contact with harmful substances such as gas, decoration paint, and chemicals, as these will affect the health of the baby and the pregnant woman. Electrical appliances with high radiation such as induction cookers, mobile phones, and microwave ovens should also be avoided. If it is really necessary, you can ask your family to do it for you.

What should you pay attention to during early pregnancy

1. Avoid or reduce sexual intercourse in the first three months of pregnancy, because the placenta and the uterine wall of the pregnant woman are not tightly connected in the early pregnancy. If sexual intercourse is improper, it may cause uterine contraction and lead to the possibility of miscarriage. Therefore, the first three months of pregnancy is a period when miscarriage is prone to occur, especially for pregnant women at high risk of miscarriage. In addition, improper sexual intercourse in early pregnancy may also cause vaginal infection, which is another reason why some doctors recommend that you avoid sexual intercourse in early pregnancy.

2. Early vaginal bleeding in pregnant women requires immediate medical attention. If vaginal bleeding is found, even if it is only a small amount, you should go to the hospital immediately for treatment, even if the vaginal bleeding seems to have stopped. While a small amount of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy may not be a big deal, it can be a sign of a serious problem. Therefore, you need to seek medical attention immediately to make sure that there are no problems with the pregnant woman and the fetus and to rule out the possibility of complications.

Spotting is light vaginal bleeding similar to the amount you'd experience at the beginning or end of your period. Vaginal bleeding may be pink, red, or brown (the color of dried blood). Vaginal bleeding can be heavy or even massive. If vaginal bleeding is very severe or accompanied by severe pain and you cannot go to the emergency room immediately, you can call 120 emergency number.
