\”Pregnant women over 35 years old are prone to pregnancy complications, which endanger the health of mothers and babies…\” On the morning of March 19, Huashang Daily and Xi\’an Qujiang Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital held a \”Second Pregnancy Lecture\” on \”How to Prevent Pregnancy Complications for Mothers with Second Pregnancy\” Syndrome\” public welfare lecture, Li Caiqin, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Xi\’an Qujiang Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, brought a vivid second-child science class to nearly a hundred mothers who wanted to have a second child.
Mothers who wear IUDs can get pregnant again after 3 months of wearing the IUDs
At the beginning of the lecture, Director Li Caiqin encouraged mothers to have a second child as an \”expert\”. Some mothers feel that they are too old to have a second child. Li Caiqin said that pregnancy is not just about age. Generally speaking, as long as you have regular menstruation, it means you are ovulating and there is a chance of pregnancy. Once menopause occurs, the chance of conceiving naturally is almost non-existent.
Some mothers who have given birth to a second child have worn IUDs before. If they want to have a second child, they have to get the IUD first. Li Caiqin said that the ring should be removed within 3 to 7 days after menstruation is clean. Some women may experience a small amount of blood or bloody leucorrhea after removing the ring, which usually disappears naturally after a day or two. If you bleed a lot or for a long time after removing the ring, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid bacterial infection.
Do not try to conceive immediately after removing the ring, otherwise it will easily cause intrauterine infection and cause fetal malformation and other risks. At the very least, you should be able to get pregnant after 2 to 3 normal menstrual cycles after taking the ring. Generally speaking, it is safe to get pregnant with an interval of 3 months. It is best to get pregnant six months after taking the ring. This will give the uterine lining a recovery time. It is also good for fetal health.
Check every half month starting from pregnancy diagnosis
Not only are older pregnant women less likely to conceive, they also increase the incidence of pregnancy complications such as gestational hypertension, intrahepatic cholestasis, and diabetes, seriously endangering the lives of mothers and babies.
\”Hypertension during pregnancy is related to age, obesity, heredity, positive anticardiolipin antibodies, hypertension and chronic nephritis.\” Li Caiqin said that common symptoms of hypertension during pregnancy are increased blood pressure, dizziness, vertigo, shortness of breath, and proteinuria. Severe pregnancy-induced hypertension can cause convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, fetal hypoxia, and even asphyxia in pregnant women. The focus of prevention is to exercise moderately, ensure adequate sleep, eat a reasonable diet, and supplement calcium. Pregnant mothers who are found to have a tendency to hypercoagulable blood should also take aspirin before or after pregnancy.
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is also a dangerous pregnancy complication, the most common symptom of which is itchy skin. It is related to high estrogen levels in pregnant mothers, and mostly occurs in pregnant mothers in the third trimester of pregnancy, twin pregnancies, and pregnant mothers who have used oral contraceptives in the past. It can cause fetal hypoxia, intrauterine distress, and even fetal asphyxia.
Pregnant mothers with this complication should strengthen fetal monitoring in the third trimester and grasp the opportunity to terminate the pregnancy. The focus of prevention is to drink more water and excrete more.
Gestational diabetes is also a very common pregnancy complication. High-risk factors include obesity, highAge, glucose intolerance, polycystic ovary syndrome, and family history of diabetes. It can lead to early pregnancy loss, fetal malformations, and macrosomia. Some cases of gestational diabetes can develop into lifelong diabetes, adversely affecting the health of pregnant mothers throughout their lives. To prevent gestational diabetes, the focus is on diet control and appropriate exercise.
Since older pregnant mothers are more likely to suffer from gestational hypertension and diabetes, they should control their diet, try to have a balanced diet, avoid foods high in sugar, high salt, and high calories, and do not eat too much in the first three months. In this case, a light diet is enough. As long as the nutrition is balanced and comprehensive throughout pregnancy, there is no need to deliberately eat too many highly nutritious foods.
Although there are risks for older pregnant mothers to have a second child, there is no need to worry too much. As long as they follow the doctor\’s instructions for regular check-ups, many mothers can give birth to a healthy second child.
Older mothers with second children should shorten the check-up interval and check once every half month from the time of pregnancy diagnosis. Pay special attention to blood pressure and urine tests to detect pregnancy complications and complications in a timely manner.
