Introduction: Some time ago, Vivian Hsu, who announced the good news of her pregnancy, posted a photo of herself wearing salt water and said that she was sick, which made netizens heartbroken. Due to special physiological reasons, expectant mothers are prone to getting sick during pregnancy and cannot take medicine casually. Therefore, they should pay attention to their physical health and prevent diseases.
According to Hong Kong media reports, Vivian Hsu posted a belly photo on March 20 and revealed that she was pregnant. Recently, he posted a photo of hanging salt water and revealed that he was ill: \”How are you? I have been in poor health for the past two days. I ate stale food, vomited and had diarrhea… I have been lying in bed! I am too active and can\’t get down. I\’m fine now, but Gang V can\’t fly for the time being. I heard that stomach viruses are prevalent recently! Everyone, please pay attention to your health!\”
What diseases should expectant mothers prevent during pregnancy?
Seeing Vivian Hsu\’s difficult pregnancy, netizens expressed their heartache. In fact, expectant mothers are most afraid of getting sick during pregnancy. Colds, edema, allergies, etc. trouble them from time to time. Therefore, expectant mothers absolutely need to have enough knowledge to protect their bodies and block all external risk factors that may harm their babies.
1. Colds are most common during pregnancy
During pregnancy, expectant mothers are particularly susceptible to colds. When pregnant women have a cold, they generally should not use antibiotics and other drugs, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, as the use of drugs may have an impact on the developing fetus. At the same time, be sure to distinguish whether it is a common cold or viral influenza. If it is a common cold, physical therapy is recommended, such as drinking more boiled water, getting enough sleep, eating more fruits and green vegetables, and keeping warm. However, if the expectant mother suffers from influenza and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, she should receive some special treatment according to the symptoms of the pregnant woman under the guidance of a doctor to avoid affecting the fetus.
2. Don’t delay if you have abdominal pain and diarrhea.
There are many reasons why expectant mothers may experience abdominal pain. Pregnant women should go to the hospital for detailed examination first. If it is determined that it is not related to the fetus, possible causes of abdominal pain include flatulence, colic, appendicitis, bacillary dysentery, etc. Pregnant women with abdominal pain symptoms should not delay seeking medical treatment to avoid worsening of the condition. Some severe cases may also cause peritonitis due to perforated appendicitis, causing premature delivery of the fetus.
The biggest cause of gastrointestinal upset is indigestion, which usually does not require medication. Simply reduce fatty foods in your diet and avoid spicy foods and caffeinated drinks. At the same time, increasing the intake of high-fiber foods can relieve constipation caused by indigestion. Eat small meals frequently, four or five meals a day, and reduce the size of each meal.
3. Skin allergies and itching
Itchy skin during pregnancy is a type of eczema. At this time, you might as well boil the mung beans into soup. Cook until the mung bean shells are slightly cracked and then turn off the heat. No sugar, just soup. Because mung beans are cold in nature, drinking some during the third trimester of pregnancy can not only reduce inflammation, but also relieve allergies. If it is autumn and winter, you should drink less.
For itchy skin caused by skin allergies, you can also use lotion and apply it to the affected area in the morning and evening. In addition, pregnant women should not use too hot water when taking a bath.
4. Ninety percent of expectant mothers will have edema.
More than 90% of women will experience ankle and leg edema during pregnancy. If there are no symptoms of preeclampsia after the examination, it can be considered a normal phenomenon, not a disease, and this phenomenon will generally improve in the later stages of pregnancy.
In fact, edema is related to increased body water during pregnancy, pelvic vein compression, and obstruction of venous return in the lower limbs. If discomfort occurs due to edema, the legs should be raised as much as possible to facilitate venous return of the lower limbs. It is best to lie on your side, put a small pillow on your calf, and rest for half an hour.
In terms of diet, salty, spicy, pickled products and other foods should be eaten in moderation. You can usually drink more red bean soup, which has a diuretic effect. In addition, it is best for pregnant women to drink more boiled water to assist the excretory system in expelling waste from the body and help prevent water retention in the body, but they should also be careful not to drink too much water.
5. Early Prevention of Prenatal Depression
I often worry about the health of my fetus and always suspect that there is something wrong with my pregnancy symptoms. When I see relevant medical introductions, I feel inexplicably nervous and fearful. When sleeping at night, there are often symptoms of insomnia and dreaminess. These symptoms are mainly due to excessive stress on expectant mothers, and a small number of expectant mothers will suffer from severe prenatal depression, such as low mood, loss of appetite, and extreme lack of security.
When a pregnant woman experiences psychological discomfort, the baby inside her body will also be affected. Because the relationship between mother and child is close, the baby\’s personality will be attracted to the mother\’s emotions. Therefore, when expectant mothers are stressed and emotionally unstable, family support is particularly important. As long as the family pays more care and help, the expectant mother will feel much better. In addition, the teacher can accompany the wife to see a psychologist and try not to use drugs to make the mother-to-be happy, so that the baby will not be greatly affected.
