Don’t tell others about it in the first three months of pregnancy

The talk about the fetal god by the older generation is purely superstitious, so just listen to it. But don’t tell anyone about it in the first three months of pregnancy because it’s really easy to have a miscarriage during this period.

During this special period, the embryo is in the differentiation stage, has not yet formed, and is not firmly attached to the uterus. If the expectant mother is overworked or does strenuous exercise, it can easily lead to miscarriage.

According to data, after expectant mothers become pregnant, 50% of fertilized eggs will not be able to successfully implant and develop into embryos. Even if implantation is completed, it will be affected by chromosomes and other factors, and fetal arrest may occur later.

From this point of view, expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy still need to control their excitement and not tell others.

This is not superstition, it is because the fetus in the first three months is relatively unstable, and expectant mothers need to be careful in their cultivation. After telling others, the risk of miscarriage will increase due to external environmental factors and their own reasons.

Who can I tell if I am pregnant?

01

Talking to my husband

Although the first three months of pregnancy should not be publicized, such a big happy event cannot be shared alone, but there is no Need to be secretive.

Expectant mothers can share this good news with their husbands as soon as possible. I believe that your husband will be as excited as you are and will accompany you through this special period.

Everyone knows that expectant mothers will undergo great physical changes after pregnancy and will also experience various symptoms.

The eighth and ninth weeks of pregnancy are the most uncomfortable for expectant mothers. At this time, most expectant mothers will experience nausea and vomiting, and some expectant mothers are even more serious and will be in a state of discomfort all day long.

As the fertilized egg begins to develop, the uterus will gradually enlarge and press on other surrounding organs. At this time, the expectant mother will have a strong feeling of falling in the lower abdomen.

Pregnant mothers will have to go to the toilet more frequently. This is because the bladder adjacent to the uterus is compressed, causing urgency, frequency, and even constipation.

If the expectant mother endures these pregnancy reactions alone at this time, she will easily lose control of her emotions, which is very detrimental to the growth and development of the fetus.

The baby is the fruit of a couple’s love, so you should share this joy with the expectant father as soon as possible after pregnancy.

Let him know the pain and difficulty you are experiencing now, and give you more care and support, and be more considerate and caring for you.

02

Tell your boss

In addition to sharing the joy of pregnancy with your husband as soon as possible, expectant mothers also need to tell their boss.

When it comes to this, some expectant mothers will have some concerns, worried that telling their leaders will affect their work and future arrangements.

If the expectant mother is really worried, she needs to use some tips when communicating with the leader. You can provide the hospital's test report, pregnancy period and expected date of delivery before informing you of the fact of pregnancy.

Next, express your own ideas. You can assist the leader in completing tasks during pregnancy, and ensure that you try not to make mistakes or take full responsibility.

At the same time, we also hope that the leaders can provide appropriate care and reduce the workload to avoid excessive stress during pregnancy.

How to spend the first three months smoothly?

01

Reasonable diet

Pregnant mothers should have a diet that is light, easy to digest, and less greasy. It is best to match the taste of the expectant mother and choose some foods that she usually likes to eat.

Eat more fruits and vegetables, soy products, fish, eggs, milk, etc. If the expectant mother has a particularly strong early pregnancy reaction, she can go to the hospital to seek help from a doctor.

In addition to diet, you should also pay attention to supplementing leaves, because folic acid plays a great role in preventing neural tube defects. For the health of the fetus, folic acid must be taken during the first three months of pregnancy and after pregnancy.

02

Get a prenatal check-up immediately

After becoming pregnant, the expectant mother should immediately go to the hospital for a blood test and let the doctor evaluate her specific situation if any problems arise. Resolve in time.

03

Be careful to rest and not get tired

Because the embryo is not stable in the early stages of pregnancy and is easily affected by other factors, it can easily lead to miscarriage.

So, after knowing that you are pregnant, you must pay attention to rest more, do not do strenuous exercise, and do not lift heavy objects. At this stage, sex life is also to be avoided.
