So, what challenges will expectant mothers face in the first, second and third trimesters? How to deal with it?
In the first trimester (0~ 12 weeks), the items to be examined at this stage are: progesterone, HCG and fetal heart embryo bud.
At the beginning of pregnancy, expectant mothers are both excited and nervous, and at the same time there are some early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, carsickness, smelling of fumes, lethargy, loss of appetite and so on.
This is caused by the change of body hormone level after pregnancy, which shows that the fetus is developing well, so don't have too much psychological burden.
Moreover, everyone's physique is different, and there is no response or light response. As long as the birth check is normal, there is no need to be suspicious.
★ Note 1:
In view of the early pregnancy reaction, the expectant mother should try to be light in diet, ensure enough sleep, sleep when sleepy, and don't feel embarrassed. Avoid overwork and staying up late, adjust your mood and get ready to be a mother.
★ Note 2:
There is another important thing in the early pregnancy, that is, filing. One is to file a file in the community, and the other is to choose the hospital that you want to give birth in the future from now on.
Many hospitals have requirements, such as having to have more than two important prenatal check-ups in our hospital, or making an appointment in advance for a large-scale abnormality check-up. In a fixed hospital, doctors will know more about your situation and give continuous guidance.
In the second trimester (13 ~27 weeks), the items that need to be done in the second trimester are NT, Tang sieve, teratology, sugar tolerance and so on.
Many important check-ups are at this stage. If they pass at one time, they will be ok. If they appear? High risk? Parents-to-be will feel very scared and other tests will be added.
★ Note 3:
Just do it according to the requirements of each birth check-up. Check it in turn. Don't be afraid of tossing. Be sure to have a birth check-up on time.
The second trimester is a relatively comfortable period for expectant mothers. The fetus develops steadily and she adapts to the changes during pregnancy, but there are still some uncomfortable symptoms.
For example, chest distension, backache, frequent urination increased significantly, which affected the quality of sleep, increased vaginal discharge and leg cramps. With the increase of gestational age, many expectant mothers will give birth to obvious stretch marks at this stage.
★ Note 4:
The development of the fetus in the second trimester is accelerating, so the nutrition of the expectant mother must keep up, keep the nutrition rich and balanced, and provide the fetus with sufficient nutrient supply. Ensure sleep, adjust your mood and do a good job of personal hygiene.
★ Note 5:
The expectant mother is gaining weight at this stage, making it even more inconvenient to move. Generally, the weight gain from pregnancy to delivery is within the normal range, and the expectant mother should control her weight within a reasonable range.
Exercise properly, eat less sweets, and strive to have a long baby without meat.
In the third trimester (28~40 weeks), the number of check-ups increased from once a month to once every two months, and once a week in the later trimester.
At this time, the expectant mother's physical burden is heavier, and some will have constipation and poor sleep. When the expected date of delivery is near, you may give birth at any time, so you must be accompanied by your relatives.
At the same time, as the expected date of delivery approaches, many expectant mothers will have the phenomenon of prenatal anxiety, afraid to face childbirth, afraid that the baby is defective, and don't know if they can give birth naturally.
★ Note 6:
Expectant mothers should know the common sense of childbirth in advance, understand the delivery posture and breathing mode, and chat with their families to relieve the tension.
Prepare yourself and your baby's bags just yet, and prepare all kinds of documents to be used in production and all previous birth inspection records. When the baby really starts, take the bag and leave.
