Having a healthy and smart baby is the wish of every couple. At this time, eugenics and postnatal care are particularly important. In order to give birth to a healthy baby, expectant mothers should pay attention to quitting bad living habits before pregnancy to avoid affecting the baby\’s health. factors are minimized. Let’s take a look at the bad habits that expectant mothers tend to make during pregnancy.
Bad Habit 1. Dieting to lose weight: Increased risk of heart disease and diabetes in the future
Whether a person suffers from adult diseases such as heart disease and diabetes is obviously related to dieting and weight loss behaviors during pregnancy. Dieting and weight loss for pregnant women will reduce the intake of energy and protein, and these two nutrients are indispensable for fetal growth and metabolism, and have a great impact on fetal weight. If a pregnant woman is malnourished due to dieting, it will greatly increase a person\’s risk of heart disease, diabetes and other diseases in adulthood.
Bad Habit 2. Picky eating and partial eclipse: The fetus stops developing in the womb
Some pregnant women have picky eating habits before pregnancy, and their tastes become more picky after pregnancy. When eating, they always choose the food they like, and still don\’t use chopsticks when they don\’t like it. Some pregnant women even maintain the habit of eating only a few staple foods at each meal. Eating staple food will cause pregnant women to lack most of the energy, B vitamins and dietary fiber they need. If they lack calories and protein, the fetus will grow slowly or even stop developing. The latest research also found that the mother\’s taste can be passed to the fetus through amniotic fluid and breast milk. If a pregnant woman only prefers certain foods, the child will also be prone to partial eclipses after birth.
Bad Habit 3: Going to regular swimming pools: increasing the risk of miscarriage
As weight increases in the second trimester, pregnant women\’s spines bear increasing pressure. If physical conditions permit, swimming is a good exercise for pregnant women. Swimming can regulate the mood of pregnant women, relieve discomfort such as low back pain and hemorrhoids, and promote natural childbirth. Pregnant women should choose a regular swimming pool when going swimming. Some swimming pools often use chlorine to disinfect the pool water. If the chloroform content is high, this harmful gas will be absorbed into the pregnant woman\’s body through the skin, increasing the risk of miscarriage. For this reason, swimming during pregnancy must be done in a regular swimming pool with guaranteed water quality, preferably under the supervision of full-time medical staff.
Bad Habit 4. Laughing excessively can induce miscarriage and premature birth
A bad mood during pregnancy is not conducive to the growth and development of the fetus, and it is easy to give birth to a deformed baby. Therefore, people always warn pregnant women to maintain an optimistic attitude and smile more. But that doesn\’t mean unlimited laughter is good for pregnant women. Obstetrics experts point out that it is actually inappropriate for pregnant women to laugh loudly. Laughter can cause the abdomen to twitch suddenly and stimulate uterine contractions. If it is easy to cause miscarriage in the early pregnancy, it is easy to cause premature birth in the late pregnancy, so it is not a good habit for pregnant women to laugh casually.
Bad habit 5. Sleeping on your back: Supine syndrome occurs
With the fetusContinuously growing, the abdominal cavity is almost completely occupied by the uterus in the third trimester. If you still insist on sleeping on your back, the enlarged uterus will easily press against the aorta, reducing uterine blood flow and causing insufficient blood supply to the fetus, thus affecting the growth and development of the fetus. Moreover, the enlarged uterus when lying on your back will also compress the inferior vena cava, hindering the blood return of the lower limbs, causing or aggravating edema of the lower limbs.
At the same time, \”supine syndrome\” is caused by reduced blood return to the heart, leading to ischemia of various organs throughout the body, manifested by dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and decreased blood pressure. Therefore, sleeping on your back should be avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy. The appropriate position is on the left side.
Bad Habit 6. Bath water temperature is too high: causing damage to the fetal central nervous system
Taking a hot bath is a habit of many people, including some pregnant women, who think it can refresh themselves and relieve fatigue. But embryonic tissue within two months of pregnancy is extremely sensitive to temperature changes, even the temperature of bath water. Overheating can damage the fetal central nervous system. According to clinical measurements, when a pregnant woman\’s body temperature rises 2°C above the normal temperature, the development of fetal brain cells will stagnate; if it rises 3°C, brain cells may be killed, and most of the resulting brain cell damage is irreversible and permanent. sexual. The fetus may have intellectual disability after birth, or even fetal malformations, such as microphthalmia, cleft lip, external ear malformation, etc., and some may even cause epileptic seizures. When pregnant women take a bath, the water temperature should be controlled below 3°C. It is best not to bathe in a warm pool or basin to prevent the abdomen from being soaked by hot water.
Bad Habit 7. Not getting up on time every day: miscarriage and pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome
Some people still do not change their daily habits on time after pregnancy. Especially when you are recuperating at home full-time, you get up when you want and go to bed whenever you want every day. I don’t have any rules to live by. I figured as long as I rested long enough, it wouldn\’t be a problem. However, the human body has a biological clock rhythm. An irregular life will disrupt the function of the anterior pituitary gland and disrupt the biological clock rhythm. This will not only affect the growth and development of the fetus, but may even cause growth and development stagnation in severe cases. At the same time, pregnant mothers may also experience headaches, insomnia, irritability and other discomforts due to long-term tension in the cerebral blood vessels, which increases the possibility of miscarriage and can easily induce gestational hypertension.
Bad Habit 8: Always having your mobile phone in hand: Increases the incidence of birth defects
Mobile phones have become an indispensable necessity in people\’s lives, and many people still cannot do without their mobile phones after pregnancy. Environmental health research experts point out that 70% of birth defects have unknown causes, and 20% of the remaining 30% are caused by adverse environmental factors, including electromagnetic radiation. For safety reasons, it is better for pregnant women to use mobile phones less during pregnancy, especially in the first three months of pregnancy.
Bad Habit 9. Excessive use of electrical appliances: Increases the rate of spontaneous abortion among pregnant women
Modern life is inseparable from a series of electronic products such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, electric blankets, and computers. These products have greatly improved people\’s quality of life. Eugenicists point out that it is best to use less of these products during pregnancyproducts because these products produce ionizing radiation, it is best to use other products instead. For example, when sleeping in cold weather, you can use a hot water bottle to keep warm instead of an electric blanket; when using natural gas to heat food, try not to use a microwave; when using a microwave or induction cooker, try to keep a distance from your body.
Bad Habit 10. Watching TV every day: affects the health of mother and child and promotes edema of lower limbs
After many people become pregnant, their daily activities are much less than before, so they often watch TV to kill time. However, when the color TV is working, the picture tube continuously emits invisible X-rays under the stimulation of high-voltage power supply, and also produces ultraviolet rays with a wavelength less than 400 microns. If you are 3-4 meters away from the fluorescent screen, you can watch 1-2 at most at a time
Hours, with a break of more than 10 minutes, will not have much impact on pregnant women and fetuses. However, if you watch TV for a long time, it may cause miscarriage and premature birth, leading to abnormal fetal development. In addition, watching TV for too long will affect the blood return of pregnant women\’s lower limbs, aggravate lower limb edema, and even cause varicose veins in the lower limbs.
Bad Habit 11. Not taking a lunch break every day: Accidents may occur due to overwork of the body
As the fetus grows larger, the pregnant woman’s body becomes heavier and heavier. Not only is she prone to physical fatigue, It is also easy to become nervous and cause premature birth. Therefore, not only should you increase some sleep time appropriately, but it is also best to take a rest after lunch every day, especially when the lower limbs are edematous, to help the body relieve fatigue as soon as possible, relax the mind, and at the same time reduce the lower limb edema.
