Pregnancy precautions and taboos

For female friends, pregnancy is a very special life experience. While welcoming the arrival of the baby, you also need to endure the physical discomfort, tension and danger brought about by hormonal changes. Therefore, whether it is the pregnant woman herself or her family members, during this period, they must be extra careful and take good care of the physical and psychological changes of the pregnant woman. Let pregnant mothers have a happy mood and welcome the arrival of the baby.

1. Avoid excessive medication

During the third week to the third month of pregnancy, the embryonic organs are formed, and the fetus is very sensitive to the effects of drugs. Clinical investigations have confirmed that certain drugs can cause fetal malformations.

2. Don’t eat too much vinegar

Too much vinegar and acidic foods are one of the main causes of fetal malformation. Especially in the first half month or so of pregnancy, a large amount of acidic food can lower the alkalinity in the body, causing fatigue and weakness. A long-term acidic physique will not only cause the mother to suffer from certain diseases, but most importantly, it will affect the normal growth and development of the fetus and may even cause fetal malformations.

Ten taboos for pregnant women

3. Avoid drinking too much beverages

Because some beverages contain 2.4%-2.6% of caffeine, clonidine and other alkaloids, pregnant women will experience poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and rapid heartbeat after drinking them, which will affect the normal development of important organs such as the fetal brain, heart and liver, and cause the baby to suffer from congenital diseases after birth.

4. Don’t eat too much fried dough sticks

Fried dough sticks contain a certain amount of alum, which is an organic substance containing aluminum. Aluminum can enter the fetal brain through the placenta, causing brain disorders and increasing the risk of dementia.

5. Avoid eating hot seasonings

Eating hot spices such as fennel, aniseed, pepper, cinnamon, chili, five-spice powder, as well as fried and stir-fried hot foods after pregnancy can easily consume intestinal moisture, reduce gastrointestinal gland secretion, and cause constipation. After constipation occurs, pregnant women strain to defecate, which increases abdominal pressure and compresses the fetus in the uterus, easily causing adverse consequences such as fetal movement disorder, fetal malformation, premature rupture of membranes, spontaneous abortion, and premature birth.

6. Avoid excessive contact with detergent

Chemical components such as linear alkyl iodates and alcohol in detergents can destroy and cause degeneration and necrosis of fertilized eggs. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy after a wedding, if there is too much contact with various detergents (washing powder, shampoo, dishwashing detergent, etc.), those chemical components will be absorbed by the skin and accumulate in the body, causing the outer cells of the fertilized egg to degenerate, leading to major diseases and miscarriage.

7. Don’t drink too much tea

Pregnant women should not drink too much or too strong tea, because the caffeine in tea has a stimulating effect, which can increase fetal movement and even harm the growth and development of the fetus.

8. Don’t eat too much hawthorn

Modern medical research has confirmed that hawthorn has a contraction effect on women's uterus. If pregnant women consume a large amount of hawthorn and its products, it will stimulate uterine contraction, and in severe cases it can lead to miscarriage. It is for this reason that expectant mothers must take good care of themselves during pregnancy and ensure that they are fully protected.

9. If you need to take care of your skin during pregnancy, you should not continue to use your usual skin care products. You should use special skin care brands specifically for pregnancy! Try to avoid makeup, as nail polish and slogans contain many harmful substances!

10. Avoid strenuous exercise!
