Through surveys of urban and rural couples who have given birth to children, we found that some concepts and behaviors of young couples have a great impact on the physical quality of their offspring.
Misunderstanding 1: If you are in good health, you do not need a premarital check-up. More than half of the young people of childbearing age believe that they are in good health and do not need a pre-marital check-up.
But in fact, some young men and women who appear to be healthy and whose parents are also healthy are actually carriers of the disease-causing gene. If both men and women happen to be carriers of a certain disease-causing gene, the probability of their offspring getting the disease is very high. Due to hereditary or sporadic genetic diseases, men and women are often simply carriers of the disease-causing gene. This condition can only be determined by a professional doctor through family history investigation and ancestry analysis. Therefore, it is recommended that all young people who are talking about marriage do their part to protect the health of future generations and take the initiative to undergo pre-marital examinations.
Myth 2: Pregnancy does not need to be timed. According to surveys, more than half of young couples do not take contraceptive measures after marriage and often become pregnant unknowingly. Due to the lack of advance planning and preparation, some had spontaneous miscarriages, some were infected with viral diseases such as influenza and rubella, and some used drugs that should be banned during pregnancy… It can be seen that after marriage, pay attention to contraception and practice family planning. Self-pregnancy is necessary. When a couple decides to have a child, they should jointly undergo eugenic counseling and health examinations.
In addition, many young couples have frequent sexual intercourse after marriage. And frequent sexual intercourse may cause aging sperm and egg cells to combine. Studies have confirmed that women who become pregnant during ovulation have the lowest spontaneous abortion rate; within 6 hours after a female egg is ovulated, male sperm is most active within 48 hours after it is discharged into the female body. Therefore, when couples decide to have a child, they should get help from a doctor and use comprehensive testing methods to determine the best time for conception and co-sex conception, so that the freshest and most active eggs and sperm can be combined.
Some young men and women like to get married during the Spring Festival. This is especially harmful to couples who do not plan and conceive independently after marriage. First of all, winter and spring are popular seasons for various viral diseases. Secondly, due to the cold weather, if the room is heated by coal without paying attention to ventilation, it will cause indoor air pollution. There are also many people who often stay up late during the festival and ask for a drink. And these are not conducive to eugenics. Therefore, people who plan to get married during the Spring Festival should take effective contraceptive measures to prevent various viral infectious diseases, including getting vaccinated in advance, quitting smoking and drinking, paying attention to sleep, exercising more, and avoiding going to public places. first trimester.
Misunderstanding 3: The more nutrition during pregnancy, the better. Some people have a prejudice that the more chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and milk the better after pregnancy, so that necessary foods such as vegetables and fruits cannot meet the required intake. . According to surveys, more than 80% of rural families have the conditions to provide pregnant women with some nutritious food every day. Pregnant women who cannot achieve balanced nutrition are mostly due to lack of nutritional knowledge and inability to adjust their diet structure and meals.
Myth 4: How good would it be to have a fat boy?In recent years, it is common to see some fat people who had caesarean sections. These fat babies, weighing more than 4,000 grams, are medically known as giant babies. At present, in both urban and rural areas, there are more and more giant babies delivered by caesarean section, and the number of women giving birth naturally has dropped sharply. Increase. Therefore, pregnant women should carefully carry out prenatal check-ups as required throughout their pregnancy and actively accept the dietary guidance from their doctors.
