Many young women, while preparing for pregnancy, find it difficult to resist the passionate wine glasses at various banquets and gatherings with family and friends. If a pregnant woman drinks alcohol without knowing she is pregnant, even beer, the feeling of self blame, anxiety, and discomfort is enough for expectant mothers to regret their entire life. Can women drink beer during pregnancy preparation?
Can women drink beer during pregnancy preparation
Women are not allowed to drink beer during pregnancy preparation. If a woman drinks alcohol before conception, it is recommended to postpone the conception time until the poisoned egg cells are discharged and the new healthy egg cells mature before considering conception. Alcohol metabolites can generally be excreted 2-3 days after quitting drinking, but it takes at least 14 days for an egg cell to mature. So, if you drink alcohol during the preconception period, you must wait for one month before you can conceive.
In short, it is best not to drink alcohol during the preconception period, and do not touch anything that contains alcohol.
I don't know what to do if I get pregnant and drink alcohol
1. Adjusting mentality: Pregnant mothers need to first adjust their mentality and face this situation positively. The fetus has a certain degree of resistance. If the pregnant mother accidentally drinks a little alcohol and survives without a natural miscarriage, it shows that she is very strong, and mothers should also have confidence. Occasionally drinking in small amounts without excessive alcohol consumption will not have a significant impact on fetal development. Long term anxiety and depression can actually be harmful to the fetus.
2. Timely examination: If you accidentally drink alcohol without knowing that you are pregnant, you must go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, inform the doctor of your drinking situation, including the time, frequency, and amount of alcohol consumption, and let the doctor record it for targeted examination and response measures.
3. Supplementing nutrition: Drinking alcohol, no matter how much, will definitely have some impact on the fetus. So pregnant women should pay more attention to supplementing nutrition to promote fetal development. To supplement nutrition, it is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement various vitamins. Vitamins are very important for the growth and development of babies, and can greatly reduce the incidence of fetal malformations. In addition, remember to take folic acid according to the doctor's instructions to prevent fetal malformations.
4. Rest well: In the early stages of pregnancy, if you accidentally drink alcohol, the fetus may be affected. At this time, you should pay attention to rest, do not engage in vigorous activities, and do not lift heavy objects to prevent the fetus from being affected by other factors and increasing the possibility of miscarriage.
5. Regular prenatal check ups: If you follow the doctor's advice to keep your baby, do a thorough Down syndrome screening and screening to determine fetal health. Perform regular prenatal check ups to comprehensively monitor the growth and development of the baby. If you drink too much alcohol, it may affect the possibility of fetal malformation or developmental delay, but it is not absolute. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, consider terminating the pregnancy in a timely manner.
Once preparing for pregnancy, expectant mothers must fight to the death against all unhealthy lifestyle habits, especially dietary habits that are detrimental to both the expectant mother and the fetus. Once violated, the journey of preparing for pregnancy can only be restarted. The man preparing for pregnancy should also do so, and both husband and wife should supervise and encourage each other. Only in this way can we ensure the arrival of a healthy baby to the greatest extent possible, and parents can also have a clear conscience.
