Let’s look at such a story first:
One female patient with SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) became pregnant during the active phase of the disease without proper pre-pregnancy consultation. For safety reasons, the doctor advised her to terminate the pregnancy in the early stage of pregnancy, but she refused.
Later, she did not follow the advice to continue her pregnancy. During pregnancy, she simply did not go to the hospital for a prenatal examination. She did not go to the hospital until her body was too much for her.
In the end, tragedy happened, and both adults and children were gone.
What is reflected in this example is a problem of concept.
Many people think that our elders didn’t do so many examinations, didn’t they also have us? In fact, if you think about it, how will the statistics be made if those who did not arrive are asked to raise their hands during the roll call? Therefore, those who have problems when they are really pregnant have no chance to say it.
Of course, there are still more people who focus on their children and do not even know that they cannot be pregnant for the time being.
In the eyes of obstetricians and gynecologists, the health of adults and children is equally important when preparing for pregnancy. To ensure the health of adults and children after pregnancy, scientific pregnancy preparation is essential.
These five aspects of pregnancy preparation are crucial.
Step 1 Choose the right age
It is not good to be too old or too young for pregnancy, but most of the problems lie with elderly pregnant women.
Pregnant women are elderly pregnant women when they are over 35 years old. Many women are not pregnant and have children when they are young for various reasons. Then one can only bear the risk of pregnancy at an advanced age, but this risk must be understood in advance, because people over 35 years old cannot reach the most ideal state no matter how meticulous and comprehensive the preparation work is, and the possibility of infertility, abortion, fetal malformation and complications during pregnancy and childbirth is obviously increased.
2. Obesity is a big taboo,
When it comes to the life of preparing for pregnancy, everyone is most concerned about eating, and they care a little [too much]. They not only eat too much, for fear of not enough nutrition, but also pay attention to eating, which cannot be eaten or touched. In fact, the diet for pregnancy is not special, as long as the calories are reasonable and the nutrition is balanced, and there is no need to go to [taboo] specially.
In addition to eating, moderate exercise should be carried out when preparing for pregnancy. In fact, moderate exercise should be carried out during pregnancy. What’s more, preparing for pregnancy, many people do not have the habit of exercising at ordinary times. After pregnancy, they heard that pregnant women should exercise and suddenly increase the amount of exercise, which will lead to adverse reactions. In short, during the preparation of pregnancy, the body should gradually adapt to the state of moderate exercise to lay a good foundation for pregnancy and postpartum.
In addition, we should also avoid the common unhealthy state-obesity. In fact, obesity affects not only appearance, but also pregnancy and childbirth. Obesity will increase the risk of many adverse conditions during pregnancy and childbirth, such as stillbirth, premature delivery, even fetal spina bifida, visceral malformation, etc. Therefore, obese women had better control their weight within the ideal range before pregnancy.
Of course, weight control is not an easy task. Slow weight loss has no effect. Too fast weight loss will affect pregnancy preparation, so you should consult a doctor and follow scientific methods.
Step 3 Avoid Harmful Substances
Clear teratogens include some heavy metals, organic solvents, pesticides. However, to reach a certain dose will lead to fetal malformation, and is a long time of contact. Therefore, it is recommended that women exposed to paint, pesticides, radiation and other harmful substances at work, first suspend work for a period of time before pregnancy.
As for microwave ovens, electric blankets, mobile phones, computers and even high-voltage power transmission lines, they are all safe. At present, no evidence has been found that they have caused adverse effects on the fetus. We need not overreact.
4. The impact of drugs can be large or small.
It is recommended that unnecessary drugs should not be used during pregnancy, but if diseases are to be treated, what should also be used.
It is true that a small number of drugs may affect embryo development, but the impact is often not as great as you think. The incidence rate of congenital malformation caused by many drugs is less than 3% ~ 5%, which is lower than the natural incidence rate of congenital malformation.
As for someone who will abort the child during early pregnancy because he took a cold medicine by mistake, my advice is to observe first and think twice before acting. You know, even if the child is aborted this time, there is no guarantee that deformity will not occur in the future. Taking a medicine by mistake is only a risk you know, and those unknown risks are much greater than this medicine.
5. Husbands should also prepare for pregnancy.
Many women who consulted before pregnancy asked the doctor if her husband wanted to have an examination. In fact, if it is not difficult for pregnancy, the man must check without what.
However, men still need to make some preparations, such as quitting smoking and drinking, staying away from harmful substances and balancing nutrition. The time for sperm formation is about 70 days, so after making preparations, such as quitting smoking and drinking for 3 months, you can try to get pregnant.
You should have an examination before preparing for pregnancy.
Some people may think that there should be no problem after preparedness for preparedness. However, the impact of giving birth to children’s bodies is huge, not only effecting reproductive organs, but also effecting all systems of the whole body, and most of them are adverse effects.
Therefore, before pregnancy, we should know the health status of a woman to assess whether she can conceive and give birth smoothly.
Just like the SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) patient mentioned in the beginning story, if the pregnancy preparation examination and consultation are completed, the doctor will definitely not let her get pregnant rashly and there will be no tragedy.
If a woman has any internal or surgical diseases or hereditary diseases before pregnancy, she should first conduct pre-pregnancy consultation and do a good job of examination to see how much influence the current situation has on pregnancy.
Of course, most young people preparing for pregnancy are in good health at ordinary times, so we will first carry out some routine examinations to understand the current physical condition. If problems are found, try to solve them before pregnancy so as not to be in a dilemma after pregnancy.
