Pregnancy is always the happiest thing in a woman's life, and it is also a wonderful exploration process. Early pregnancy is crucial as it is the stage of embryo formation. Any damage during this period can affect the normal development of the embryo, such as instability, damage, or even early miscarriage. Therefore, in the early stages of pregnancy, attention should be paid to diet and daily routines to ensure the health of both the pregnant woman and the baby.
1. It is essential to supplement folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy, as folic acid, as a coenzyme, is a component of methemoglobin and its main physiological function is to prevent pernicious anemia. Eating folic acid can also provide some vitamin C intake, making it easier to ensure the absorption of folic acid.
2. Pay attention to prenatal check ups, regular check ups can timely understand fetal position and fetal development. When you go to the hospital for a check-up, you should listen to the doctor's advice, and check on time as soon as possible. Don't be bothered. If premature birth or other conditions occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely treatment.
During the early stages of pregnancy, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite are common occurrences. Therefore, based on the principle of eating small meals frequently, try to eat more foods that can improve vomiting symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy.
4. Avoid eating foods such as crabs, turtles, Job's tears, almonds, hawthorn, lychee, longan, etc. These foods may cause miscarriage. If you feel diarrhea, bleeding, or pain at any time, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
When medication is needed, it is recommended to consult a doctor to avoid harm to the baby caused by improper use of medication, and to quit smoking and drinking, as the nicotine contained in tobacco and alcohol may also cause harm to the baby's body.
6. Work and activities should be moderate, and staying up late and working overtime should be avoided. Women in the early stages of pregnancy are more prone to fatigue, so it is important to know how to reduce their physical fatigue. In addition, the intensity of exercise should be moderate, and it is recommended to engage in aerobic activities such as walking or yoga. It is forbidden to participate in vigorous exercise to prevent external injuries to the body, which may affect the development of the fetus.
7. Couples should control their sexual life and avoid having sex during the early and late stages of pregnancy. Because having sexual intercourse can easily cause uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage or premature birth.
In addition, it is recommended that expectant mothers maintain a happy mood, as excessive emotional fluctuations such as sadness may also lead to premature birth. It should be remembered that any action taken by the expectant mother during the early stages of pregnancy is a footprint of the baby's growth.
