Happy Pre-Mother

The most important thing we would like to say is that pregnant women should control excessive weight gain. Many elderly people believe that pregnant daughters-in-law need a lot of nutrition to sustain two lives, so they tend to force their daughters-in-law to eat too much food. As a result, some pregnant women gain more than 25kg throughout their pregnancy. And excessive obesity is bad for the health of both mother and child. Obesity in pregnant mothers can increase the risk of diseases such as gestational diabetes. We often hear from our fat mother friends who complain that they have little to no milk after giving birth because of the fatty tissue blocking the milk ducts. From our own experience and from asking women who have also given birth, the ideal weight gain during pregnancy should be between 10kg and 15kg.

Of course, this is not a dead rule, if we were lighter before pregnancy, then the weight gain can be more, if we were already overweight or obese before pregnancy, then the weight gain should be less. In addition, maternal obesity will also increase the probability of huge children, not only increasing the risk of difficult delivery, but huge children will suffer from various chronic diseases, and obesity in the future will also increase the probability. During pregnancy, we need to pay extra attention to the use of skincare products, because all kinds of skin care products may cause some irritating effects on the pregnant mother, but also may indirectly cause some effects on the health of the baby. During pregnancy, you should try to use basic cleansing, moisturizing and protective products to avoid some beauty products that may contain chemical ingredients that can be absorbed through the skin and affect the health of the fetus.

Comfortable, soft, and breathable clothes must be very important, but the size of clothes also needs to be paid attention to. During pregnancy because of the change in body size, do not wear any tight jeans or dresses, especially the waist must be loose and comfortable, underwear should also choose the right size to give the environment around the uterus smooth blood flow circulation to good conditions. In winter, we should also take into account paying attention to the waist to keep warm. It is also best to change our underwear to breathable fabric and the right size at this time to provide good conditions for the blood supply to our breasts. In the second half of pregnancy, try to wear fewer or no high heels. Some pregnant women may choose to stay at home, or even lie in bed, every day, which is actually not good for the health of the mother and child.

We should still do some moderate physical exercise during pregnancy, such as walking after meals and doing some simple chores regularly. The dietary guidelines also recommend exercising about 6,000 steps a day. A certain amount of physical exercise can help digestion and better absorption of nutrients, which on one hand reduces the possibility of excessive weight gain and will also relieve many pregnant women from suffering from constipation. However, too much and too intense physical exercise is discouraged. The nutritional needs of a mother-to-be in the first trimester of pregnancy are no different from those of a normal person. The pregnant mother's diet is structured in much the same way as normal, maintaining three meals a day, a variety of food types, and adequate protein.

We want to emphasize folic acid, Folic acid is a vitamin that belongs to the B vitamin group. It is very important to take folic acid in early pregnancy and must be taken. The therapeutic effect of taking different doses of folic acid may vary. In addition, excessive folic acid can affect the absorption of zinc in pregnant women, so it can easily lead to zinc deficiency in pregnant mothers. Therefore, it is important to follow the instructions of the medicine or the guidance of your doctor. In addition to this iron and calcium intake is also important, pregnant women need more calcium and iron than normal people, a certain amount of calcium can prevent high blood pressure and calf cramps during pregnancy, while iron supplementation is also helpful in preventing postpartum hair loss in addition to ensuring the blood health of both mother and baby and preventing anemia in pregnant women. It is best to use iodized salt for cooking at this time, as iodine is good for the physical and intellectual development of the baby.

A diet with, on a regular basis, may wish to eat more food rich in high-quality protein, and then add a small handful of nuts every day, but also conducive to restoring skin elasticity. There are taboos to be during pregnancy, such as not smoking, not drinking alcohol, not drinking strong tea, and reducing coffee. Don't take medication indiscriminately when you are sick, in addition to reading the instructions of the medication carefully, you should also consult your doctor. Some pregnant women have pets in their families, and it is important to have them tested and cleaned properly after pregnancy. The World Health Organization defines health as the absence of disease in both physical and mental health. Nowadays there are more and more people with postpartum depression and it actually starts during pregnancy, so in addition to paying attention to our own physical health when we are pregnant, we should not forget about our own mental health as well.

Put a very beautiful baby painting above the bed, and sometimes when looking at this painting, imagine what our baby looks like? Is it as cute as the baby in the painting? Spend a few minutes each day whispering to our baby, such as "I'm your mommy" and "I love you, baby". Go for a walk and whisper to your baby, "It's a beautiful day, baby, enjoy the sunshine with mommy." We are often willing to use the word "cute" to describe young and energetic girls, to describe their youth and vitality, and we are often willing to use the word "charming" to describe older mature women, to describe their elegance and subtlety, but the word "beautiful" must be given to pregnant mothers-to-be, to bring them the warmth of love and full of happy expectations!
