The early pregnancy is a dangerous period, so special attention must be paid to the first three months. Sexual life should be moderate, folic acid should be supplemented in time, fetal malformations should be prevented, initial prenatal examinations and prenatal diagnosis should be performed, etc. In addition, if abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding occurs, medical attention should be sought promptly. Special attention should be paid to diet not to blindly take excessive supplements, as oversized babies are not conducive to normal delivery. 1. Sexual life should be moderate Having sex is a normal part of married life for couples. But when the wife is pregnant, how to have sex is something that should be taken seriously. To ensure the health of the fetus, sexual intercourse should be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy. 2. Seek medical attention in these cases For pregnant women, the most dangerous things in the early stages of pregnancy are ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. When these two situations occur, pregnant women will experience abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, if pregnant women find abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, they need to seek medical attention immediately. 3. Supplement folic acid to prevent fetal malformations The first three months of pregnancy are the critical period for the development of the fetal neural tube. Therefore, expectant mothers should try to avoid various adverse factors, such as smoking and drinking environments, harmful chemicals, newly renovated houses, poorly ventilated environments, etc., and improve their immunity to avoid viral infections, and do not take drugs privately. In order to prevent fetal malformations, pregnant women need to supplement folic acid starting from the early stages of pregnancy (preferably from the beginning of pregnancy planning). Foods rich in folic acid include red amaranth, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, beans, yeast, animal liver, apples, citrus fruits, etc. 4. Initial prenatal checkup After the pregnancy is confirmed, the expectant mother needs to go to the street hospital for the first prenatal check-up at 12 weeks of pregnancy and establish a health care handbook for pregnant women. Future prenatal examinations can be conducted in a secondary hospital or the hospital where you decide to give birth. 5. Prenatal diagnosis Prenatal diagnosis can exclude some major abnormalities and can be done as early as 8 weeks of gestation. Currently, the most commonly used chromosome testing methods are chorionic villus sampling and peripheral blood screening. If necessary, amniocentesis can be performed at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy for further diagnosis. 6. Don’t take supplements without authorization In the early stages of pregnancy, morning sickness symptoms may affect the expectant mother's appetite to a certain extent. In terms of diet, it is generally not recommended to take a lot of nutritional supplements. It should be based on your own preferences and eat whatever you want. Pregnant women who vomit a lot should pay attention to eating light and easily digestible foods. Once you enter the second trimester and the morning sickness disappears, it will be time to replenish your nutrition. You cannot eat hot foods during pregnancy, such as dog meat, mutton, pepper, etc. When taking supplements during pregnancy, you should follow the principle of "coolness is better and heat is avoided". Even when eating fruits, you should eat those with mild and cool nature, such as tomatoes, raw pears, peaches, etc. |
