However, most of the World Cup matches in Brazil are played in the early morning Beijing time. We all know that staying up late is bad for your health. Pregnant women are even more taboo. How can pregnant fans survive the World Cup safely?
1. Pregnant women should not stay up late to watch the World Cup
As a pregnant woman, you are already very tired during pregnancy and your body uses a lot of energy. Once you stay up late, the pregnant woman\’s body may not be able to bear it, and staying up late will also affect the baby\’s development. The World Cup will last for a month. If a pregnant mother continues to stay up late to watch football, the damage that may be caused will be immeasurable. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant mothers should try not to stay up late watching football for the health of themselves and their fetuses. If you really don’t want to miss it, you can watch it selectively or watch the replay.
2. Pregnant women should “calm down” when watching football.
Exciting football matches can often arouse our emotions, but experts remind expectant mothers to \”calm down\” and try to avoid emotional excitement when watching football matches. Research shows that when a pregnant woman is in a good mood, she can secrete beneficial hormones, enzymes and acetylcholine, which are beneficial to the normal growth and development of the fetus; these hormones will enter the fetus through blood circulation, causing the fetus to have the same emotions as the mother. If the expectant mother is too nervous, a large amount of adrenal cortical hormone will be secreted, which will affect the normal development of the fetal brain through the placenta, and even cause fetal malformations and premature birth. Moreover, emotional excitement in pregnant women can easily cause uterine contractions and even accidental miscarriage.
3. Maintain a correct sitting posture and relax in time
Some people will stay still because they are too focused on the game, which is not conducive to the body\’s blood circulation. It is recommended to do some activities in between watching the game. It\’s best to stand up and take a walk during halftime to relax your muscles. Pregnant mothers should also maintain correct posture when watching games. Correct sitting postureIt\’s leaning back against the back of the chair. If necessary, you can also put a small pillow on your back and sit or lie down with your back on the sofa. Pregnant mothers must be careful not to press their stomachs to avoid causing fetal hypoxia.
4. Do not eat high-calorie snacks
Some pregnant mothers will eat snacks while watching the game, or stay up late to watch the game and eat late-night snacks. When choosing snacks, pregnant mothers should avoid high-fat, high-calorie foods such as fried foods and junk foods. Because greasy food will slow down digestion, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and may even affect your appetite the next day. If you want to eat late-night snacks, you should try to eat light, easy-to-digest, and low-fat foods.
5. If there is a pregnant woman at home, the father-to-be should keep a low profile when watching football.
If there is a pregnant woman in the family, regardless of whether the wife is a football fan or not, the father-to-be must keep a low profile when watching football. If the expectant mother is not a football fan, the expectant father would be better off watching the game without disturbing his wife\’s rest. Don\’t watch the game in the bedroom, don\’t play the TV too loud, don\’t cheer loudly, and try not to make too much noise when walking around in the middle of the night, so as not to disturb the resting pregnant mother. If the pregnant mother is also a football fan, the father-to-be should keep a low profile, because the mother-to-be, who is a football fan, actually wants to watch the game, but gives up for the sake of the baby. Therefore, the father-to-be, try to be low-key and stop irritating her. In order to comfort the expectant mothers who are fans, it is recommended that the expectant fathers watch the game replays with their wives. Even if you have already seen it, you still have to accompany it with your heart. After all, the expectant mother has made such a big concession.
