Detailed explanation of fetal development at 20 days of pregnancy
With the changes in the concept of marriage and family, more and more women are choosing to marry later and have children later. However, increasing age also brings many problems, especially pregnancy preparation and pregnancy care, which require more meticulousness and care. At 20 days of pregnancy, the development of the fetus is still in its early stages. Below we will introduce you to the fetal development and care knowledge at this stage from four aspects.
1. Fetal development
On the 20th day of pregnancy, the fetus has formed an embryo and implanted in the uterus. At this time, the fetus is only 4 to 5 mm in size. Although it is very small, the buds of the neural tube, heart and limbs have already been formed. American scientists have found that the fetal head develops the fastest at this time, and the embryonic disc will also form, which will become an important connection between the fetus and the mother. Although the fetus has not yet formed its organs, many important development processes have already begun. Therefore, pregnant women should pay more attention to their physical health at this important moment, exercise and rest appropriately, and ensure adequate nutrition and water intake.
2. Pregnancy care knowledge
In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay special attention to eating habits, sleep quality, physical condition, etc. Pregnant women need a nutritional intake of at least 1,500 kcal per day, and eat more foods with protein, vitamins, calcium and other nutrients. Try to avoid fried, high-fat and spicy foods, and pay attention to dietary hygiene and health. In addition, pregnant women also need to maintain adequate sleep time and good sleep quality to reduce environmental pollution and exposure to harmful substances. If there are pregnancy reactions, they can be relieved through appropriate exercise and food, such as mild physical exercise such as Pilates and yoga. Foods such as Meng rice, Anweitang, ginger juice, etc. can relieve morning sickness and indigestion.
3. Safety Tips
Early pregnancy is particularly sensitive to the effects of the fetus, so care must be taken to avoid contact with harmful substances and environmental pollution. Home power distribution lines, bathroom sanitary ware, cosmetics, pesticides, medicines, etc. may have adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, pregnant women also need to pay attention to avoiding diseases and infections to ensure their own health and the safety of their little ones. If necessary, prenatal check-ups and consultations can be conducted at any time to detect and solve problems encountered early.
4. Psychological care
Not only does your body undergo great changes during early pregnancy, but you also experience varying degrees of psychological fluctuations. Some pregnant women may experience low mood, nervousness, depression, etc. Therefore, expectant mothers need to adjust their mentality and be fully prepared to welcome this new stage of life. You can choose to cultivate an optimistic, positive, and sunny mentality at home, communicate with family, friends, and professionals to improve your understanding and support for various things during pregnancy and reduce the occurrence of psychological stress and anxiety.
Summary
Although the 30 days of pregnancy are very short, it is a small but great beginning. At 20 days of pregnancy, maternal and fetal care has begun and is neededBecoming more and more serious and meticulous. Through the detailed explanation of the above four aspects, we can clearly understand the fetal development at this stage and the nursing knowledge of pregnant women.
