Pregnancy is a careful and happy matter, and couples usually proceed with it in a planned manner. Women\’s pre-pregnancy conditioning is the most important preparation before pregnancy, including adjustments in diet, daily life, exercise, nursing and other aspects. Pregnancy conditioning generally takes 3-6 months, so women who plan to become pregnant should start taking care of themselves half a year before pregnancy. A series of physical conditioning is required.
In addition to basic physical conditioning, grasping some small details in life can help women before pregnancy better regulate their bodies. Good physical fitness lays a solid foundation for raising a strong baby!
Women should pay attention to the following four small details that are easily overlooked in life:
1. Still using cosmetics before pregnancy
Many women have the habit of wearing makeup, especially using isolation cream or foundation every day, or using lead-containing cosmetics such as whitening and freckle removal creams.
The better the whitening effect of cosmetics, the higher the lead content. If a woman\’s body contains too much lead, it will inevitably cause the baby to suffer from various diseases after pregnancy in the future, such as hyperactivity, mental retardation, anemia, etc. Therefore, it is best for women to use less lead-containing cosmetics starting before pregnancy. Just keep your skin basically clean.
2. The iodized salt used for cooking is still deficient in iodine
Our family uses iodized salt for cooking, but why is it still deficient in iodine? Many women have raised this question.
Once pregnant, women are prone to iodine deficiency. Surveys show that 30% of pregnant women are mildly iodine deficient, and 5% are severely iodine deficient. Severe iodine deficiency can lead to miscarriage. Therefore, iodine supplementation should start before pregnancy.
Although everyone uses iodized salt for cooking, thinking that it can supplement iodine, many people are accustomed to adding iodized salt during the cooking process. This approach can easily lead to the volatilization of iodine, which may appear to be supplementing iodine, but is actually a lack of iodine. The correct way is to add iodized salt after the vegetables are cooked, so that the iodine will not evaporate. You can also eat more seafood to supplement iodine.
3. Eat what you like in terms of diet
Starting from the first half of pregnancy, women will start to stop eating what they like. Give up eating raw aquatic products such as sashimi, oysters, etc. (aquatic organisms with shells). Bacteria and harmful microorganisms in these aquatic products can cause miscarriage or stillbirth, and microorganisms often survive in the human body for longer than we imagine.
At the same time, give up the hot pot and barbecue that women love. Because most cattle and sheep may have Toxoplasma gondii in their bodies, but people cannot see it with the naked eye. If you just put the tender meat slices in the soup and blanch them for a while before eating, this short heating will not kill the Toxoplasma gondii eggs parasitizing the cells of the meat slices. The larvae can penetrate the intestinal wall and spread through the blood. to the whole body.
4. Live in a newly renovated house
Buying a new house, renovating, getting pregnant, and having a baby sound like a perfect process, but it is actually not appropriate. Because some decorative materials and new furniture in newly renovated rooms contain more or less organic solvents, adhesives, etc. that are harmful to the human body, they may not have a major impact on adults, but they may have a negative impact on children who are in the process of developing various organ systems. Irreversible damage to the fetus.
Therefore, women who are about to become pregnant and expectant mothers must not live in a newly renovated room.
5. Unrestricted use of electrical appliances after wearing radiation-proof clothing
Prepared women usually start wearing radiation-proof clothing before pregnancy, thinking that this can completely block radiation and allow them to use computers, air conditioners or microwave ovens completely without restrictions. ,actually not. Experts say that the quality of radiation-proof clothing on the market is uneven, making it difficult for ordinary consumers to judge, and it remains to be verified whether the radiation-proof clothing is truly radiation-proof.
Generally speaking, however, wearing radiation-proof clothing has a certain anti-radiation effect. It is recommended to start wearing it before pregnancy. However, you should still be cautious about using electrical appliances and try to use them as little as possible. When you need to use them for a long time, Take breaks every once in a while and keep the room well ventilated.
