Today I will give you a brief introduction to this question. For example, those examinations that have radiation to the fetus will bring radiation to the child. This kind of examination is often not recommended. Of course, it is not only this examination that will harm the child, so pregnant friends must ask the doctor clearly before doing the examination again to avoid harm to the baby in the belly. So what should I do if I have a CT scan during pregnancy? You can listen to the suggestions provided in the article below.

Recommendations after CT scan during first pregnancy

A CT scan during pregnancy may lead to adverse consequences such as deformities. Relevant pregnancy examinations need to be strictly carried out, including hormone levels and B-ultrasound, amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis at 16-20 weeks to clarify the development of the fetus in the uterus. If any abnormalities are found in the fetus, the pregnancy should be terminated in time.

How do you know you are pregnant?

1. Delayed menstruation

If a woman of childbearing age has had sexual intercourse before and her period is delayed for more than a week, she should consider whether she is pregnant. There are many ways to determine whether you are pregnant, and using early pregnancy test strips to test early pregnancy is a common practice. In order to know accurately whether you are pregnant, you should go to the hospital for examination.

2. Morning sickness

It is normal to experience nausea during pregnancy. Because in the early stages of pregnancy, the villous tissue of the placenta secretes a hormone that is closely related to vomiting. Vomiting during pregnancy often occurs in the morning, usually starting one month after menstruation stops, and lasts for nearly two months before slowly subsiding. People with mild symptoms just feel a little nauseous in the morning and don't want to eat anything; people with severe symptoms will start feeling uncomfortable in the morning and continue throughout the day.

3. Breast pain

Under the influence of female hormones and progesterone from the ovaries, breast tenderness, including nipple tenderness and darkening of the areola, is common during pregnancy, and is all normal. This is partly due to enlarged breasts, but wearing full-size bras, so just be careful to reduce contact.

4. Insomnia

Hormones during pregnancy are different than usual, and people who already have sleep problems may be more likely to have sleep disorders. However, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives should not be used during pregnancy.

In addition, everyone should pay attention to whether they feel irritable or depressed, because emotional disorders can cause blockage of the liver meridian. The breasts are where the liver meridian passes through, and the phenomenon of qi stagnation can also cause breast pain.
