Pregnancy and childbirth are major events in a woman\’s life. For working women, having a career is not considered success. Only after pregnancy and childbirth are they fully alive. So what should working women pay attention to during this time?
1. Avoid contact with toxic and harmful working environments.
Certain occupational harmful factors (such as benzene, mercury, lead, chlorine, carbon disulfide, etc.) will affect the development of fertilized eggs, especially the 3-8th week of pregnancy, which is the formation period of the fetus\’s main organs and the teratogenic sensitive period. During this period, please try to avoid frequent trips to frontline environments where harmful factors may exist.
2. Regular prenatal check-ups.
In addition to routine examinations, chest X-ray examination, liver and kidney function tests, and measurement of fetal globulin (AFP) in maternal blood should also be included to facilitate accurate prenatal diagnosis.
3. Reasonable intake of nutrients.
In addition to ensuring the daily intake of protein and calories, the supply of calcium, iron, zinc and multiple vitamins must also be ensured.
4. Avoid working overtime and ensure adequate rest time.
As the months of pregnancy increase, the mother\’s burden will become heavier and heavier. In order to protect the health of yourself and your fetus, it is not advisable to extend working hours beyond normal working days, and you should also arrange a certain amount of rest time during work.
5. Rest for at least two weeks before giving birth.
The last three months are the preparation for childbirth. At this time, the fetus is developing rapidly and the mother\’s burden is heaviest. Therefore, it is necessary that you rest for two weeks before giving birth. It is beneficial to the healthy development of the fetus and the normal secretion of postpartum milk.
