What should I do if I always feel dizzy during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a very important thing for women and their families. It means that a new life is about to be born in the family. The presence of a baby in the pregnant woman's belly has a great impact on the pregnant woman. She may experience dizziness, anorexia, irritability, insomnia, etc., and timely measures need to be taken to regulate her condition. So here we will introduce what to do if a pregnant woman is always dizzy after pregnancy?

Dizziness in pregnant women after pregnancy may be due to anemia.

The incidence of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is as high as 38%. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common blood diseases during pregnancy. "In the early stage of pregnancy, the incidence of the disease is about 10%, in the middle stage of pregnancy, the incidence can reach 38%, and in the late stage of pregnancy, the probability may be even higher.

Zhang Jianyu vividly explained why pregnant women are prone to anemia: "It is mainly because the fetus and the mother are 'fighting for food'. Many pregnant women often vomit in the early stages of pregnancy due to early pregnancy reactions, have no appetite for food, cannot get enough nutrition, and have poor hematopoietic function. In addition, as the fetus grows day by day in the mother's womb, it requires more and more nutrients and absorbs a considerable portion of the mother's body's hematopoietic substance - iron, so the mother is particularly prone to iron deficiency anemia.

If a mother suffers from iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, it is not just dizziness. Pregnant women are prone to tissue hypoxia and even heart failure, and the chances of premature birth and developmental delay of the fetus will also increase. "In fact, iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is completely preventable. Pregnant women can eat more iron-rich foods such as beef and pork, or take an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate to meet the needs of pregnancy, delivery and the fetus."

Three types of anemia during pregnancy need special attention

In addition to the most common iron deficiency anemia, there are three types of anemia during pregnancy that pregnant women need to be vigilant about:

1. Megaloblastic anemia: Megaloblastic anemia during pregnancy is mainly caused by folic acid deficiency. Folic acid is extremely important for the development of the fetal brain and spinal cord. If there is a folic acid deficiency in the first three months of pregnancy, 69% of babies will have spina bifida or hydrocephalus. It can also lead to placental abruption, spontaneous abortion, and reduced fetal weight and height. Eating more fresh vegetables, fruits, melons and beans during pregnancy can prevent folic acid deficiency. If folic acid deficiency is confirmed, folic acid, iron and vitamin B12 supplements should be given.

2. Thalassemia : Guangdong is a high-incidence area of ​​thalassemia. Due to the cancellation of premarital examinations in recent years, many pregnant women found out that they had thalassemia during prenatal examinations. If the husband also carries the thalassemia gene, amniotic fluid examination should be performed at 16 to 20 weeks of pregnancy (cord blood examination after 20 weeks of pregnancy). If the child is suffering from severe thalassemia, the pregnancy should be terminated. Therefore, it is necessary to call on pregnant women who have not undergone premarital examination to undergo prenatal examination as soon as possible to avoid adverse consequences.

Anemia during pregnancy is one of the nutritional deficiency diseases that pregnant women are particularly prone to. Pregnant women should eat more foods rich in iron and folic acid. Good sources of iron in the diet are animal liver, animal blood, livestock and poultry meat, fish, especially red lean meat, and green vegetables are good food sources for folic acid. However, plants are not conducive to iron absorption, so they are not a good food source of iron. Black fungus, amaranth, spinach, etc. are high in iron and can be eaten appropriately during pregnancy as an iron supplement. Suggestions: The main problem now is vomiting, which aggravates anemia.

Don't be afraid to eat. On the contrary, you will feel better if you eat more. It is best to eat 6 times a day, eat small meals frequently, prepare some biscuits, and eat at any time. It is better to drink a glass of milk in the morning. After eating, lie in bed and rest for 20 to 30 minutes. When you feel nauseous, eat a few biscuits and the nausea will be better. In addition, you should also pay attention to adjusting your diet, do not eat difficult to digest food, eat more starchy foods such as bread, biscuits, potatoes, rice, etc. Of course, if the vomiting is severe, intravenous treatment is necessary.
