Precautions for mid-pregnancy care:
In the second trimester, expectant mothers should take good care of their breasts, dress appropriately, and pay attention to their daily routine. Exercise appropriately to improve your physical fitness. Pay attention to vaginal care and cleanliness, and use medication with caution.
1. Breast cleaning care: Entering the second trimester, the secretion from the nipples of pregnant mothers will increase. When cleaning your nipples, don't pull hard, just wipe them gently. You can do some breast massage appropriately. Massage once a day for 2-3 minutes each time. It is best to do it before going to bed or after bathing. But be careful not to over-stimulate your nipples, and don't do breast massage when you are tired or have abdominal pain.
2. Dress appropriately: After the second trimester of pregnancy, pregnant mothers’ belly begins to bulge significantly, causing difficulty in movement and even back pain. It is best to wear elastic stockings and low-heeled shoes, and adjust your center of gravity back to make yourself comfortable.
3. Regular work and rest: ensure adequate sleep and rest, engage in moderate activities, take in balanced nutrition, and maintain mental stability.
4. Moderate exercise: If the body does not exercise enough, pregnant mothers are prone to insomnia at night, and the possibility of obesity will also increase, causing the fetus to be too large and increasing the risk of dystocia. Pregnant women can do some soothing exercises such as pregnancy yoga, pregnancy exercises, and walking. They should insist on doing them and avoid strenuous exercise.
5. Avoid sudden forceful movements or vibrations: Pregnant mothers should avoid sudden forceful movements in the abdomen to avoid abdominal irritation. Try not to lift heavy objects. When you want to pick up something on the ground, try to slow down your movements and do not shrink your waist. Use a squatting position with bent knees to pick up things to avoid abdominal discomfort.
6. Avoid catching cold: Too low body temperature may stimulate uterine contraction and increase the risk of premature birth. Therefore, pregnant mothers should pay attention to keeping warm. When going out on rainy or windy days, prepare a coat or windbreaker and wear socks to avoid catching cold.
7. Pay attention to unexpected accidents: In the second trimester, pregnant mothers gain weight and become sluggish. When crossing the road or walking on uneven roads, pay attention to avoid passing cars. When walking, Don't go too fast to avoid falling.
