Vitamin and health improvement are both
important to your future children.
After getting married, women’s most
expectation is to become a mom. They exercise to improve health and do anything
to have a healthy pregnancy. However, even to the strong ones, we can’t predict
what would happen during gestation period. It’s important that you know we
can’t control everything in that period of time; it’s like weather: it was
raining; the moment after, it shone brightly. For that reason, you’d better
“let it be” and try to get used to the unexpected.
Be
relaxing while waiting for your baby.
Make a plan
The first thing should you do to have a
healthy pregnancy is making a plan. You should improve your health, manage your
weight, quit smoking and provide you with folic acid. Besides, you need to do
the periodic check-up to ensure that your blood pressure, blood flow and
thyroid gland function are still fine and uninfected with rubella. If you had
been using drugs before getting pregnant, you should ask for the obstetrician’s
advice to know whether it would cause bad influence on your baby and which
medicine is most safe for the pregnant.
Care before childbirth
You should find a trustful address to take
you pregnancy tests and be looked after carefully in the whole gestation
period, which is the best way to make sure that you’ll be healthy; you’ll have
weekly check-ups to be sure that you and your child are fine and to be educated
about taking care of your health and labor preparation.
Some usual problems:
Bleeding
in early pregnancy
25% of women experience bleeding in the
first 12 weeks. Usually, that will automatically disappear and cause no harm to
the fetus. In fact, it is a good sign showing that the embryo was successfully
implanted in the uterus. You possibly have some mild cramps and the blood can
be red, pink or brown, or even have some small clots of blood. If you suffer
from severe cramps, bleeding heavily or blood dropping for more than 2 days,
you should ask an obstetrician for advice.
Early
miscarriage
20% of ova won’t develop normally,
especially the natural fertilized ova; you even don’t know that you’re
pregnant. One of the cases has to use transplantation method to soon cause
pregnancy loss. In other situations, the transplantation is successful and the
embryo develops from 9 to 11 weeks after it stop doing so. Miscarriage or
spontaneous abortion (medicine) could be complete or incomplete. The complete
miscarriage is that the fetus is expelled from the body, making the mother
experience terribly pain. The incomplete miscarriage needs doctor’s
interventions which are operations or medical treatment.
A few embryos aren’t in the fallopian tube.
This situation is called ectopic pregnancy which is dangerous to the mother’s
life. If you are diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, you need to follow
specialist’s advice carefully till it’s over and have suffered from abortions
twice, you should ask for professional advice. The important thing is that you
are not guilty of having abortions, and it’s a part of human development, that
rarely repeats.
If you haven’t had any child before and
have suffered 2 miscarriages, you should take some specialist’s advice. The
important thing is that you have no guilt of having miscarriage; it’s a part of
life, and rarely repeats.
Gestational
diabetes
Have
a healthy diet to prevent diabetes.
Pregnancy changes the glucose/insulin
regulating system in women’s body, causing low insulin resistance. It’s
naturally keeps the glucose in blood longer so it’s able to go to placenta
parts. 3-5% of pregnant women experienced this situation: gestational diabetes
happens when the glucose in blood is too high for too long. Without
examinations, babies will receive so much glucose, leads to high insulin issue,
which makes them be at risk of overweight development and glucose regulation
difficulty after birth. You need to take examinations at the 24th-
28th weeks when the insulin resistance is higher than ever. There is
no sign in gestation diabetes, so examining blood sugar is the only way to detect
the disease.
Most of women can control their insulin
resistance by having a sensible diet and daily exercise. If you can keep the
blood sugar at normal till the end of the pregnancy, it won’t harm the baby.
Otherwise, you need medicine support and follow the development of the embryo
recurrently.
The
sensible diet will help you no longer concern with diabetes.
High
pressure
One wonderful thing is that women can carry
2.26-4.08kg of the embryo and 0.91kg of the placenta in their body, the amount
of blood and water of the body increase 5 liter but still remain the heart beat
and normal blood pressure. Think about the changing of the body to fix in the
situation! Sometimes, the body can’t adjust and it leads to the blood pressure
increase at the end of the pregnancy. It even can cause pre-eclampsia – a
medical condition characterized by high blood pressure and significant amounts
of protein in the urine of pregnant women.
Monthly blood pressure following helps you
soon diagnose those conditions. Precautionary measures (a diet, exercise,
change lifestyle habits) can prevent or reduce high blood pressure in gestation
period. Hypertension during pregnancy is random and hard to predict. If you
have high blood pressure, you possibly have premature birth in order to protect
you and your child.
Some helpful advice
Some pregnant women have insomnia, and they
are worried about everything that could happen. Most women who used to be
pregnant believe that maintaining health is important, so if you’re worried, see
a midwife or a doctor for an embryo check-up. If you feel pessimistic, ask the obstetrician
or the therapist for the pregnancy experience like how to breathe and relax.
