Pregnant parents should stay away from harmful jobs

(1) Electromagnetic radiation-related work:The incidence rates of hyperemesis gravidarum, threatened abortion, spontaneous abortion, and menstrual abnormalities among women in different industries who are engaged in computer operations are different from those of women who are not engaged in computer work. Obviously, engaging in electromagnetic radiation-related work during pregnancy may increase the risk of threatened abortion and spontaneous abortion.

Women who have been engaged in electromagnetic radiation-related work for a long time are prone to irregular menstruation. If they are exposed to ultra-intensity electromagnetic radiation for a long time, skin aging may be accelerated, the rate of congenital defects in their offspring will increase, and the incidence of malignant tumors may occur. The probability increases. The miscarriage rate of pregnant women increases, the embryonic development is poor, and the incidence of fetal abnormalities increases. In men, sperm activity will decrease and the number will decrease. Electromagnetic radiation can also cause neurasthenic symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, and cardiac arrhythmia.

The damage caused by electromagnetic radiation to the operator\’s own DNA is not obvious, but it may cause damage to the DNA of the offspring\’s embryonic tissue.

In order to protect the physical and mental health of mothers and babies, improve the quality of the population, and give birth to a healthy and smart baby, pregnant women, especially 3 months before pregnancy, should do work related to not being exposed to electromagnetic radiation.

(2) Chemical and radioactive work:Chemical substances and radioactive exposure not only cause damage to the reproductive system, but can also have teratogenic or even fatal effects on embryos.

Pregnant women receiving X-ray treatment at one large dose or multiple small doses can cause fetal malformations. Chemical substances such as aluminum, lead, mercury, etc. that pregnant women are exposed to in daily life can cause defects in the fetal brain and nervous system.

Male testicles are very sensitive to many chemicals, which can damage sperm. Common ones include lead, mercury, cadmium, tin, arsenic, nickel, cobalt, benzene, etc. In addition, pesticides such as benomyl, dibromochloropropane, methylmercury, and heptachlor epoxide can also cause sperm abnormalities, leading to miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal defects.

Couples should be careful to avoid X-ray exposure after marriage. In particular, couples planning pregnancy should avoid X-ray exposure.

Men who are engaged in spraying pesticides, herbicides, etc. must ensure at least 70 days after exposure to the drugs to prevent their wives from becoming pregnant.

Some scientific research work will also come into contact with radioactive substances or toxic chemicals. However, this kind of work generally has strict protective measures to ensure the safety of those engaged in it. Workers engaged in this kind of work do not need to Change positions on purpose.

(3) Flying occupations: At present, some industry workers such as flight attendants and professional managersPeople, senior media professionals, etc. are engaged in irregular work, and there is an incompatibility between work and childbirth. Some surveys show that the fertility of these people is also lower than that of those who live a regular life.

Due to work requirements, often leaving early and returning late, irregular rest and diet, highly stressful work, and no sex life for a long time will lead to a decrease in the number and survival rate of sperm. And due to the slowdown of sperm metabolism, it will also cause sperm aging, greatly reducing vitality and quality, making it difficult to conceive. If irregular living habits cannot be changed, couples planning to have children should temporarily change their jobs.

(4) Medical workers: Clinicians and nurses in certain departments often have close contact with patients suffering from various viral infections during epidemics of infectious diseases. The viruses are mainly rubella virus, influenza virus, cytomegalovirus, etc., which can cause serious harm to the fetus. Therefore, when clinical medical staff are planning to conceive or in early pregnancy, if it is during the epidemic period of viral infectious diseases, it is best to strengthen self-care, strictly prevent virus harm, and temporarily leave the clinical work position.

Women’s ovaries are very sensitive to radiation. If you are exposed to small doses of radiation for a long time before pregnancy, it can cause chromosomal aberrations or genetic mutations in egg cells. If you become pregnant at this time, fetal malformations are very likely to occur. Receiving a large amount of radiation after pregnancy can cause fetal chromosome breakage and distortion, and can also cause fetal malformations.

Among medical staff, all married women who are expecting to be pregnant who are engaged in radiation work should stop working with radiation in the first half of pregnancy. It is best to temporarily withdraw from this work after pregnancy to avoid spontaneous abortion and neonatal complications. Infant mortality, congenital malformations and the occurrence of genetic diseases.

(5) Financial Analyst:The nature of the job of the expectant father will also affect the fertility situation. Men who work in financial analysis are more likely to be infertile than men in other professions, the study found.

People who are engaged in jobs that deal with numbers and money (stocks, accounting) have a potential fertility crisis. The survey shows that men engaged in financial analysis are five times more likely to be infertile than ordinary men.

Although researchers are not yet able to accurately explain the reasons for the above differences, they point out that psychological stress and high work demands are the main factors leading to male infertility.

If you want to have children but are engaged in such a highly attention-intensive job, it is best to stop this work one year before you plan to have children.

In addition, before pregnancy, expectant mothers should also avoid jobs that are highly stressful and do not allow for proper rest, jobs that require standing for long periods of time, jobs that require working in places where the room temperature is too high or too low, and jobs that are noisy and Vibration work.
