What causes anemia during pregnancy? What are the hazards of anemia during pregnancy? How to treat it? 1. What are the causes of anemia during pregnancy? After pregnancy, the expectant mother's blood volume increases and blood cells are diluted, but the demand for iron increases. Coupled with problems such as morning sickness, heartburn and poor appetite, the ratio of supply and demand is seriously unbalanced, which is easy to cause anemia. Generally speaking, expectant mothers with anemia often have symptoms such as pale complexion, mouth, skin and mucous membrane, palpitation, chest tightness, dizziness and drowsiness. It will also lead to many problems such as growth restriction, poverty, dystocia and stillbirth, so it can not be ignored.

2. What is the classification of anemia during pregnancy? Anemia in pregnancy can generally be divided into hemorrhagic anemia, megaloblastic anemia and aplastic anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia anemia: it is a common anemia during pregnancy, which is caused by iron deficiency during pregnancy, accounting for about 95% of anemia during pregnancy; Megaloblastic anemia: It may be caused by folic acid deficiency, and very few are caused by vitamin b2 12 deficiency. Its incidence in China is 0.7%; Pregnancy complicated with aplastic anemia: due to hematopoietic factors, it accounts for 0.3‰-0.8‰ of the total delivery of pregnant women.

3. How to treat anemia during pregnancy? Scientific and reasonable solution to anemia during pregnancy can not be separated from these measures, such as "diet adjustment+drug treatment", mainly: calcium supplementation diet: hemorrhagic anemia with mild symptoms can be relieved by expectant mothers, and animal blood, liver and sharp meat are rich in iron, which is a very good "iron family". If it is megaloblastic anemia, foods rich in folic acid can be adjusted appropriately, such as dark green vegetables, animal livers, eggs, beans and so on. Drug treatment: For expectant mothers with severe anemia, when anemia cannot be reasonably corrected by diet alone, they must be treated with doctor's advice and drugs, such as oral iron and folic acid tablets.

4. How to prevent anemia during pregnancy? In order to prevent anemia during pregnancy, expectant mothers must grasp three levels: diet matching: pay attention to ingesting foods rich in iron, folic acid tablets and water-soluble vitamins, such as animal liver, blood tofu, lean pork, beans, green vegetables, tomatoes, oranges, carrots, lettuce and peaches. Expectant mothers should pay attention to cultivating good habits of balanced diet and say "goodbye" to partial eclipse and picky eaters as much as possible. Life: Adequate sleep, moderate exercise and good work and rest are the fundamental guarantees for controlling anemia during pregnancy and maintaining the physical and mental health of expectant mothers.

Mentality: A good mood is conducive to maintaining and improving physical and mental health. Expectant mothers always maintain a good attitude to face and integrate into life during pregnancy, and full of positive energy every day can better resist foreign enemies.

In addition, we should remind everyone that expectant mothers need to pay attention to "gentleness" in their usual behavior, such as slowing down immediately from squatting to avoid orthostatic hypotension; If you feel dizzy, you should sit or lie down immediately to prevent falling.
