Many women actually don't know much about pregnancy before they become pregnant, and only gradually learn about pregnancy after their first pregnancy. So, what should women pay attention to when they first become pregnant?
Firstly, it is recommended that women supplement with folic acid when they first become pregnant. In early pregnancy, fetal development is easily influenced by external factors, leading to malformed fetuses. To prevent fetal malformations, women should pay attention to supplementing folic acid in early pregnancy. Pregnant women can eat foods containing folic acid such as lettuce and spinach. In addition, women should also pay attention to avoiding the effects of chemical drugs and radiation.
Secondly, women need to understand the significance of some physical changes when they first become pregnant. After a woman becomes pregnant, some physical changes are normal, such as dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, which are normal early pregnancy reactions. However, some physical changes are abnormal. When a woman discovers abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, it is recommended to seek medical attention early and check for ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage.
Furthermore, women are advised to have a comprehensive understanding of the examination items they may need to undergo in the future when they first become pregnant. There are many examination items that women need to do during pregnancy, and the examination items may vary depending on the pregnancy period. When women have a general understanding of the examination items, they can avoid rushing to the hospital for examination in the future.
