Many people do a lot of homework during pregnancy preparation, such as what they cannot do, what they cannot touch, and how to increase the chance of pregnancy. However, seemingly simple pregnancy preparation actually hides some misunderstandings. Perhaps it is because of these There is a misunderstanding that prevents everyone from conceiving a child earlier. Let’s understand it together.
Common misunderstandings about pregnancy preparation
1. As long as you are healthy, there is no need for a pre-pregnancy check-up
Many people are as indifferent to pre-pregnancy check-ups as they are to pre-marital check-ups. They always feel that as long as they are healthy, there is no need for pre-pregnancy check-ups. Many women often start to have pregnancy check-ups only after they become pregnant, or they do not go for relevant check-ups until they have been married for a long time and are infertile.
Actually, this approach is terrible. Even if the body looks healthy, there may be many problems that are not conducive to fertility. For example, many of the semen sources of human sperm banks are college students, but about 50% of students who look very healthy do not have semen quality that meets the standard. Cannot be a sperm donor. And many married men who also look healthy actually have substandard semen quality, which will seriously affect timely conception and the quality of fertilized eggs. Pre-pregnancy check-ups can detect problems in time, thereby avoiding problems and achieving a smooth pregnancy.
2. Preparing for pregnancy is a woman’s business and has nothing to do with men.
You may have discovered that women are often the ones who carefully prepare for pregnancy, and as long as men can If you quit smoking and drinking, you are preparing for pregnancy carefully. This is a very common phenomenon. People usually think that preparing for pregnancy is mainly a woman\’s business and has little to do with men. In fact, this concept is completely wrong. As a man who provides sperm for a new life, it is not enough to just quit smoking and drinking. He must also undergo pre-pregnancy examinations to understand his semen quality and health status, and carefully prepare for pregnancy with women with the goal of improving semen quality.
3. You can try to get pregnant after stopping contraception
Many people think that as long as you stop contraception, you can start the \”artificial project\”. But in fact, even without considering the eugenic effect of careful pregnancy preparation, it is not advisable to try to get pregnant immediately after stopping contraception unless you have been using condoms for contraception.
Contraceptive contraceptive pills: Since birth control pills do inhibit ovulation and interfere with the growth and development of the endometrium, the possibility of producing a low-quality or malformed fetus after pregnancy is also increased. According to the requirements of eugenics, pregnancy can only occur after stopping the drug for at least 3 months.
IUD contraception: For those who use intrauterine contraceptive ring for contraceptionWomen, after taking the ring, should wait 2-3 normal menstrual cycles before becoming pregnant again.
4. The ovulation period is 14 days before the next menstrual period
The lifespan of the corpus luteum of 14 days is just an average number. For an individual, it may be between 12 and 12 days. 15 days, so if you want to grasp ovulation, you can’t just count the days. You must combine basal body temperature monitoring, ovulation test strips, cervical mucus and B-ultrasound to monitor ovulation.
5. As long as you have sex multiple times during the ovulation period, you can get pregnant
The production of sperm takes a long time, and it takes about a month for sperm to develop from scratch. In 75 days, there are usually two to three billion sperm stored in the epididymis, and the aging sperm enter the apoptosis process and are disassembled and absorbed. After an ejaculation, it can be replenished to the \”team full\” status in 2-3 days. Therefore, excessive sexual intercourse can reduce the number and quality of sperm, and even the ejaculated sperm may be immature sperm, which will affect fertilization. Therefore, using multiple sexual intercourses in order to get pregnant quickly is a typical method of having haste rather than speed, especially for those men who already have less and less sperm.
6. Douche the vagina with baking soda and vinegar to control the birth of boys and girls
Many people recommend the method of douching the vagina before sex: use vinegar Or 2% to 3% soda water to change the acid-base environment of the vagina to control whether the baby is a boy or a girl. In fact, this method is very harmful to the future baby. Because vinegar and soda, especially the latter, will cause large changes in vaginal pH. The pH requirement for sperm is between 7.2 and 8.0. Deviated pH values will cause greater damage, and these damages cannot be ignored. of.
7. The more nutritional reserves you have before pregnancy, the better
Women: During pregnancy, the development of the baby requires a large amount of nutrients from the mother. Therefore, women should start doing this before pregnancy. Good nutritional reserve. However, this does not mean that the more supplements the better, the more the better, but that we must adhere to scientific dietary principles to ensure a nutritionally balanced, safe and moderate diet. A partial eclipse may cause excessive or insufficient nutrients. Even nutrients that are beneficial to fetal development may cause fetal malformations if they are excessive or insufficient.
Men: Men preparing for pregnancy should stay away from foods that affect sperm quantity and quality. Cottonseed oil, celery, barbecue, fried food, cola, trans fatty acids, cream, cake, MSG and chicken essence all have the effect of inhibiting spermatogenesis and spermicide, and are rich in zinc, selenium, arginine, vitamin E, Foods containing vitamin A and folic acid can help improve male sperm quality. Eating more of these foods can promote spermatogenesis and improve sperm motility.
Is it okay to get pregnant after a wedding?
\”Enthronement\” has a high chance of giving birth to a teratome
The so-called \”enthronment\” is the folk saying that pregnancy occurs on the wedding night. Some people think that \”enthronment\” means pregnancy. \”Happiness\” means adding happiness to happiness, double happiness. However, the practice of modern medicine and eugenics has proven that \”enthronement\” is not a good thing.
A professor of obstetrics and gynecology pointed out that when a newlywed gets married, the couple usually They have to take turns toasting to the guests. Out of etiquette and excitement, the bride and groom naturally have to drink more glasses, or even get drunk.
As we all know, alcohol has a certain harmful effect on reproductive cells, whether sperm or eggs. Pregnancy while drunk can cause fetal development retardation, short stature, and the incidence of malformation and mental retardation several times higher than normal. Even if there are no malformations, the fetus is prone to poor development, dullness, and frailty. Secondly, before marriage, both parties are busy shopping and decorating the new house, which makes them tired. From a eugenic point of view, conceiving under extreme fatigue is detrimental to the healthy development of the fetus.
Under what circumstances will you not be able to get pregnant
Bad Living Habits
Some bad living habits will also affect your chances of conception, so during pregnancy preparation, men should quit smoking and drinking. Alcohol is a gonadotoxin. If you drink too much, it can cause gonadotoxicity, which manifests as The testicles are damaged, the reproductive function is weakened, the sperm is damaged, reduced, and the motility is weakened, and it can induce impotence. The nicotine component in cigarettes can damage sperm, cause the sperm content in male semen to decrease, and also increase the number of abnormal sperm.
Excessive weight loss
This is an era where thinness is regarded as beauty, but in order to successfully conceive, a woman’s body must have a certain amount of fat. Maintain normal menstruation and have reproductive capacity. Too little fat can easily cause ovulation or amenorrhea. If you want to get pregnant, you can do more exercise to maintain your body shape and improve your physical quality. Deterioration
Environmental pollution caused by industrialization and the use of large amounts of pesticides, detergents and other industrial chemicals have significantly increased the number of male patients with azoospermia, oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia. environmental pollutionThe impact of infection on women is manifested by a significant increase in patients with irregular menstruation and ovulation disorders, amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea and even menopause at a young age.
Having had multiple abortions
The harm caused by abortion to women is well known, and the more abortions, the greater the harm. This is because repeated scraping of the endometrium thins the uterine wall, causing menstrual disorders, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and even fallopian tube obstruction. What\’s more serious is that repeated miscarriages will make a woman less likely to have children in the future. Not only will it be difficult for a woman to get pregnant, but even if she does get pregnant, she will easily abort.
Excessive Stress
In the fast-paced urban life, stress increases with age. The personality characteristics of mental infertility are mostly dependence, easy mood swings, anxiety and depression. Some couples are anxious to have a child but are unable to conceive immediately. These psychological conflicts can affect the function of the female ovary through neuroendocrine changes, leading to infertility.
Methods to increase the probability of pregnancy
1. Accurately grasp the ovulation time
The ovulation period can be determined through women’s physiological changes. Some women will feel pain in their lower abdomen during ovulation, and sometimes it will be as painful as dysmenorrhea. This is because the egg is leaving the ovary, which will cause pain. Before ovulation, the vagina will secrete mucus similar to egg white. Under normal circumstances, the ovulation period will be about 12-16 days before the next menstrual period. Women can calculate it based on their menstrual cycle.
2. Increase sperm quantity and improve sperm quality
Another important way to achieve successful pregnancy is to increase the quantity and quality of sperm in a woman’s body. Men need to wear looser underwear and trousers, and can take a cold bath appropriately. You should reduce smoking and drinking when planning pregnancy, because alcohol
Sperm and nicotine will greatly reduce sperm count and sperm quality. It is best for men to quit smoking and drinking, so that the fetus will be healthier. At the same time, men need to supplement vitamins and trace elements, and during pregnancy planning
You can supplement some zinc and selenium, which will help improve sperm quality.
3. Have sex every 3 days
Since sperm can only survive in the cervix for 3-5 days, it is best to have sex every 3 days. , to ensure that there are enough sperm in the female body before the female ovulatesEggs can be fertilized effectively. Having intercourse a few days before ovulation is the best time to conceive, because the egg generally survives for 12-24 hours.
4. Reasonable diet
Some people think that just supplementing nutrition in the month of planning pregnancy is enough, but in fact, if there are too many nutrients in a woman’s body On the contrary, it will reduce the chance of pregnancy. This is because too much protein and fat in the body will cause the body fluids to become acidic, and an overly acidic vaginal environment will kill sperm. At the same time, too thick cervical mucus is not conducive to the entry of sperm, which will of course reduce the chance of pregnancy.
5. Keep a comfortable mood
During pregnancy planning, both couples are often under a certain amount of pressure, especially if they have not been able to conceive successfully for a long time. For couples, methods such as calculating ovulation date and measuring body surface temperature will increase the pressure on both parties. At the same time, also
There will be pressure from society and other family members. If you are stressed out, your chances of getting pregnant are greatly reduced. A vicious cycle is thus formed. Therefore, both husband and wife should try to maintain a comfortable mood, even when
If you have sex during the prescribed optimal period for conception, you can also make the bedroom more romantic to increase the pleasure of both parties.
