How to pay attention to your diet?
The most worrying thing after pregnancy is the baby. In the first trimester, you are most worried about miscarriage. In the second trimester, you are worried about malnutrition. In the third trimester, you are worried about premature birth. The whole pregnancy is full of fear.
How to prevent premature birth in late pregnancy?
1. Do not do strenuous exercise.
Although the fetus is protected by the uterus and amniotic fluid in the pregnant mother's belly, strenuous exercise can still easily lead to the possibility of premature delivery of the fetus, and the abdomen must be prevented from being impacted by external forces.
2. Avoid fatigue.
Only when the pregnant mother has a good rest can the fetus grow healthily. If the pregnant mother is too tired, it will not only affect the growth of the fetus, but may also cause fetal development retardation. Overexertion may also cause premature birth of the fetus.
3. Avoid sex.
During sexual intercourse, there may be premature birth due to improper posture, overexertion of the pregnant mother, or overexcitement leading to uterine contractions. Moreover, prostaglandins in semen can cause uterine contractions. Although the amount is relatively small, it should not be taken.
Let’s fight, after all, everyone’s physique is different.
4. Regular prenatal check-ups.
The best way to know the changes in the fetus is to have regular prenatal check-ups, because the fetus is always growing and is different every day. Regular prenatal check-ups can know the growth of the fetus.
Pregnant mothers who are prone to premature birth must carry out targeted fetal protection under the guidance of a doctor.
5. Control your emotions.
If the pregnant mother is depressed for a long time, it will also affect the development of the fetus, and the baby will be prone to bad temper after birth. If the pregnant mother is too emotional, especially too sad, it may lead to premature birth of the fetus.
6. Keep counting fetal movements.
Counting fetal movements is a relatively direct method for pregnant mothers to monitor the condition of the fetus in the womb. Too much or too little fetal movement indicates that the fetus is hypoxic. Therefore, pregnant mothers must insist on counting fetal movements every day. If the fetal movements are abnormal, they must
Go to the hospital promptly.
How to pay attention to your diet?
The third trimester of pregnancy is when the fetus' weight grows the fastest and requires a lot of nutritional support. Therefore, pregnant mothers will be more likely to feel hungry and need to make slight adjustments to their diet.
1. Balanced nutrition.
The nutrients the fetus needs are diverse, so pregnant mothers should not be too picky about food to avoid fetal malnutrition.
You can eat more foods containing high-quality protein, fresh vegetables, and seasonal fruits.
2. Eat a light diet.
Pregnant mothers should avoid greasy food and eat light meals. Too greasy food can easily lead to indigestion and affect appetite. Eat as little spicy food as possible to avoid over-stimulating the gastrointestinal tract and causing constipation.
3. Control diet according to fetal weight.
If the fetal weight is moderate, there is no need to make big changes and a normal diet will be fine.
If the fetus is underweight, the pregnant mother should strengthen nutrition and eat more foods for long-term fetuses, such as milk powder for pregnant women, sweet potatoes, potatoes, durian, etc.
If the fetus is overweight, the pregnant mother should control her diet and eat less high-calorie and high-sugar foods.
4. Eat smaller meals more frequently.
It is very easy for pregnant mothers to feel hungry, but the fetus is against the stomach and feels unable to eat even a little bit. At this time, you can eat smaller meals more often, or eat when you are hungry. There is no need to set too many times.
5. Prevent constipation.
The fetus is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on the rectum and bladder is also increasing, which can easily cause constipation and frequent urination. Pregnant mothers should eat more high-fiber foods to prevent constipation.
Another thing to note is that although you are urinating frequently, pregnant mothers also need to drink a certain amount of water every day to replenish moisture. Drinking about 1000ml of water every day in the third trimester is enough, and the rest of the water can be absorbed in food.
Although you need to be careful in the third trimester of pregnancy, you don’t need to worry too much. Too much worry and anxiety will have a bad impact on the fetus. It is best for pregnant mothers to keep a happy mood every day. After the fetus is full term, you should pay attention to the symptoms before delivery. If you find that
If your water is red, your water breaks, or you have contractions, you should go to the hospital in time to wait for delivery.
