What are the precautions for pregnancy in patients with schizophrenia?

Preparing for pregnancy refers to the prerequisite preparations for a good pregnancy by pregnant women. Pre-pregnancy conditioning is divided into two aspects: "body" and "mind". The mood of pregnant women after pregnancy is very important. If a schizophrenia patient is pregnant, she must be well cared for, because the mood will affect the health and development of the child. There are many precautions when caring for such special patients, and more patience is required.

Precautions for pregnancy preparation

1. Maintain a normal lifestyle

Modern people have a rich nightlife, go to bed later and later, stay up late and reverse day and night are common, but such a lifestyle is not conducive to the smooth physiological function and conception. Therefore, if female friends want to get pregnant, they must first develop a normal lifestyle and sleep schedule, and should not go to bed later than 11 o'clock at night. This will improve their physiological functions and increase the chance of conception.

2. Avoid contact with harmful environments

If pregnant women stay in a harmful environment for a long time, it will affect the quality of the fertilized egg, causing fetal malformations or even miscarriage and premature birth. Therefore, women who are planning to become pregnant should avoid harmful environments such as radiation areas and waste gas emission areas, and should also avoid drinking and smoking so as not to affect the development of the embryo. In addition, if a woman wants to get pregnant while taking medication or has just stopped taking medication, she should consult a doctor first, because many drugs can affect fetal development and cause serious consequences.

3. Balanced intake of various nutrients

When preparing for pregnancy, women should not only take good care of their physiological functions, but also supplement balanced nutrition to prepare for the birth of a baby. In terms of diet, attention should be paid to balanced intake of the five major types of nutrients, sufficient folic acid supplementation, and promotion of fetal neural tube development; eat less pickled food to avoid increasing the burden on the body; if women have a tendency to high blood sugar, they should eat less high-sugar foods to avoid gestational diabetes. In addition, they should also avoid fried foods, which are too high in fat.

The most important thing in caring for schizophrenia patients is to comfort their psychology, so that you can have a healthy baby. Current medicine has not yet found that schizophrenia is hereditary, so don’t worry. It is best to go out for a walk or travel regularly, which will also be helpful for the condition of schizophrenia patients.
