After pregnancy, women's lives have changed a lot, for example, they should pay attention to walking, eating and even sleeping because of body deformation. Because the baby is very fragile, it may have an impact on development if it is not careful.
And the older generation often tells pregnant mothers that this can't be done, and that being careful will make pregnant mothers feel particularly nervous.
Because many women are pregnant for the first time, they are afraid that their negligence will lead to abnormal development of their babies.
But in fact, pregnant mothers don't have to be too anxious. Just pay attention to the following prenatal tests. If they pass smoothly, it means that the baby is very healthy.
check for gestational diabetes mellitus
if the diet is not right during pregnancy, pregnant mothers are likely to suffer from gestational diabetes mellitus. Although the disease can be controlled, it may threaten life safety if it is left unchecked.
Pregnant mothers will be advised to have this examination during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers must not take it lightly.
one thing pregnant mothers should pay attention to is to make preparations in advance during the examination to avoid inaccurate test results.
for example, if you want to have an examination the next day, you'd better not drink water or eat after dinner today, otherwise it will affect the result.
NT examination
NT examination is a very important examination item during pregnancy, and it is also the earliest abnormality examination for pregnant mothers.
It can obtain fetal skin thickness through professional technical means, and if it is abnormal, it needs to be treated in time to avoid serious deformity.
However, if the baby is too young, there is no way to detect it, and it is ineffective for pregnant mothers to carry out this examination when they are about three months old. Because the baby's neck skin began to thin at this time, it is difficult to get accurate results.
Three-dimensional and four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound
Many pregnant mothers will find that doctors advise them to do three-dimensional or four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, but pregnant mothers are not clear about why they should do this test.
In fact, three-dimensional and four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is very important to judge the development of the baby, and it is the key method to exclude abnormalities, which pregnant mothers must not ignore.
Three-dimensional color ultrasound belongs to the picture type, and can only observe the baby's body in a static way.
But the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is dynamic, and you can see the health status and physical development of the baby through video.
Three-dimensional color ultrasound can directly see whether the baby's body is defective, but it can't see the nervous system. Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound just solves this problem and can detect whether the baby's nerve development is normal.
In addition to these very important prenatal check-up items during pregnancy, there are still some inspection misunderstandings that everyone should be clear about.
Especially many women who are pregnant for the first time should pay more attention.
1) The number of check-ups during pregnancy is not important
Many pregnant mothers don't want to have a check-up on time because they find it annoying to have too many check-ups and the results are similar every time. There are also some pregnant mothers who are lucky and feel that they usually pay attention to it, and the children will not have much problems.
However, it is often this kind of psychology that causes the baby to be deformed after birth, and the pregnant mother blames herself and regrets it.
Therefore, pregnant mothers must have regular check-ups and adjust their diet and lifestyle according to the results of each time, so as to promote the development of the baby.
Moreover, the pregnant mother can get the baby's development in time at every prenatal check-up, which is more conducive to health.
2) The more check-ups during pregnancy, the healthier the baby will be.
Many pregnant mothers will increase the number of check-ups because they are worried about the abnormal development of their baby. The doctor has already arranged the time for the next check-up.
But pregnant mothers are so anxious that they want to go every half month, which is actually not helpful to the health of the baby. Because the prenatal examination can't rule out all malformations, many conditions can't be predicted in advance.
For example, whether some of the baby's sensory functions are normal or not can not be known through the prenatal examination, but can only be tested after the baby is born.
Moreover, the prenatal examination can't detect the baby's intelligence, so the prenatal examination can't rule out all developmental abnormalities.
However, most fetal malformations can still be detected by the abnormality check-up. As long as the pregnant mother has a check-up on time under the arrangement of the doctor during pregnancy, the probability of abnormal development of the baby can be effectively reduced.
3) Choose to have an abortion when the fetus is abnormal
Some pregnant mothers are so worried when they hear that the baby is abnormal during the prenatal examination that they even have an abortion.
But in fact, sometimes abnormal development does not mean that the baby has lost the ability of self-care. Many fetuses may have only minor skeletal problems, such as missing fingers or slightly curled legs.
This will not affect the normal life of the baby in the future, and many deformities can be repaired or improved by surgery.
Therefore, the pregnant mother can choose not to have a direct abortion, but to have an operation after the baby is born at a certain age, provided that the doctor's advice is followed to see if the deformity is serious.
4) There will be radiation, so don't do B-ultrasound
When it comes to B-ultrasound, many pregnant mothers may be worried that radiation will harm their baby's health.
Although B-ultrasound does have some radiation, it will not have a negative impact on the fetus if it is checked in a regular hospital and checked several times according to the doctor's advice.
some pregnant mothers may feel that it is necessary to put the probe into the body during the examination, which will hurt the fetus if they are not careful.
In fact, this possibility is very small, and B-ultrasound can detect the development of the fetus, and most of the abnormalities of the fetus can be detected by B-ultrasound, so pregnant mothers should not exclude doing B-ultrasound.
There are a lot of nursing and precautions during pregnancy, so expectant mothers must be careful at ordinary times and have regular prenatal checkups at the time suggested by doctors.
Although the birth check-up can't completely detect all the malformations of the baby, it can rule out most of the physical malformations, and the baby is more likely to be healthy.
However, in addition to prenatal check-ups, pregnant mothers should also pay attention to adjusting their eating habits and lifestyle.
In terms of diet, pregnant mothers don't eat as much as possible, but focus on nutrition and health, and the size of their diet should also be controlled.
Because if you eat too much, it is easy to have a huge baby, which will increase the difficulty of production.
However, if you eat too little, the baby will probably suffer from malnutrition, and the resistance will drop a lot, and even hypoplasia will occur.
Moreover, pregnant mothers should eat less spicy food, and if they have the habit of smoking and drinking, they should also get rid of it. During pregnancy, they should not consume alcohol and other substances that are harmful to the health of their babies.
In life, pregnant mothers should go to bed early, get up early and work regularly. When you are unwell, try to avoid taking medicine by yourself, so as not to stimulate the baby to be deformed by the ingredients of the medicine.
At the same time, stay away from the radioactive environment, reduce the time of using electronic products and breathe more fresh air. After doing this, pregnant mothers can wait for the baby's birth with peace of mind.
