Weight control is important during pregnancy!
From pregnancy to childbirth, every mom has a tough walk!
A few days ago, Li Xiaomeng, who had a second child, shared her difficult delivery.
Because of the easy fat physique, she and the baby are overweight, and it is really not easy to have a fat baby!
After marrying Wang Lei, Li Xiaomeng gave birth to 2 babies in 4 years, and twice became pregnant, and Li Xiaomeng's weight soared.
The first child, the entire pregnancy period of 40 pounds fat.
The second child also gained 34 pounds.
Although it is normal to gain 30 pounds during pregnancy, for Li Xiaomeng, who has a good weight control before pregnancy, gaining 34 pounds is already excessive.
And the uncontrollable weight gain during pregnancy makes the baby also large and very difficult to give birth.
When giving birth to the second baby, Li Xiaomeng's second labor process took a long time, and she pushed for more than 3 hours.
After giving birth, her face was swollen.
The eldest son, who weighs more than 7 pounds, has been born smoothly, and this weight is faster than B two weeks ago.
After giving birth, Li Xiaomeng sighed: Natural childbirth really hurts, and giving birth to a fat baby is even more painful!
But every mother is a good scar and forgets the pain, the child is healthy, and the mother is satisfied.
The pregnancy and childbirth of fat mothers are multiplied by the difficulty!
During the obstetric examination, the doctor will tell the pregnant mothers to control their weight.
When Miss World Zhang Zilin was pregnant with her second child, she was reminded by the doctor many times: we must control our weight, otherwise it is not good to give birth.
When Mary was pregnant, her weight soared to 190 pounds, which was twice as much as the recommended weight gain, which directly led to a spike in blood sugar, which was very difficult to control.
In the childbirth stories submitted by pregnant fan mothers, there are also many mothers who emphasize the importance of weight control during pregnancy.
There is a mother, because the weight of the second child is well controlled, the first child by caesarean section, the second child successfully gave birth, because the baby is the right size, and her own conditions are also very good.
There is also a mother who has been working hard to control her weight throughout pregnancy, control staple foods, exercise rationally, until she gives birth, and she keeps her weight within the range recommended by the doctor.
By the time of delivery, her delivery was very smooth, smooth delivery, no side incision, and returned to the pre-pregnancy weight after the confinement, which was really a self-disciplined and happy life.
Conversely, if you're overweight too much during pregnancy, it can really make everything go badly.
Because of the lack of weight control, a mother gave birth to a 9.2-pound baby, which is unimaginably difficult.
There is also a mother, because of the binge eating during pregnancy, seriously overweight, the baby is also fat, 8 pounds of baby, can not come down, change the section.
There is also a mother, because a fetus did not control the weight, can only caesarean section, the baby was born 9.8 pounds, is a huge child, born because the newborn low blood sugar hospitalized for 20 days, blood sugar is stable.
In the second child, although she strictly controlled her weight, in the end, under the convenience of the doctor, because the first child was a caesarean section, so her second child by caesarean section became the safest choice.
Mothers who gain too much weight, to a large extent, the baby will not be too light, to have a fat baby, it is really not easy!
Being overweight during pregnancy not only affects the mother, but also the baby!
Doctors have told you to control your weight well, and you must pay attention to it.
Because being overweight during pregnancy not only increases the risk of caesarean section, but also is detrimental to the baby's health and mom's postpartum recovery.
1. The impact of overweight during pregnancy on the baby
The direct consequence of overweight pregnant women is to cause an increase in macrosomia, and now in some hospitals, the proportion of macrosomia even exceeds 12.5%, and macrosomia have a great impact on babies.
In the mother's belly, macrosomia are more likely to develop malformations such as congenital heart disease.
After birth, macrosomia are more likely to have low blood sugar.
In childhood, babies with macrosomia are more likely to be obese.
When they grow up, macrosomia is more likely to develop metabolic syndrome, so they are more likely to suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure and so on than normal people.
2. The impact of overweight during pregnancy on mothers
Fat mothers have a baby, which is more difficult than the average person.
Moms are susceptible to illness. Common risk factors include gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, oligohydramnios, and pregnancy with obesity. Severe cases may also include pregnancy with heart failure, severe preeclampsia,
If overweight causes the baby to be huge, it is easy to have difficult births. Macrosomia can cause the baby to injure the birth canal, lead to tears or lateral incisions, and in many cases only caesarean section.
It is difficult to play anesthetics. If the anesthetic does not enter the spinal canal, general anesthesia is obtained, and general anesthesia may have an effect on the baby.
Caesarean section surgery is difficult. The incision process is slow, and the suturing process is also slow.
Postpartum haemorrhage. If the baby is macrosumulate, it increases the risk of weakness in uterine muscle contraction after delivery, which can directly lead to postpartum haemorrhage.
Uterine rupture. If there has been a previous caesarean section or uterine surgery, then fetal macrosomia increases the risk of uterine rupture, which is a rare and serious complication.
Postpartum recovery challenges are even greater. Too much fat during pregnancy, it is more difficult to recover after childbirth, and postpartum also has to face the test of postoperative risks such as thrombosis and wound fat liquefaction.
Pregnant mothers in the range of healthy weight gain, pay attention to this important index!
A normal pregnancy will definitely increase weight, and what pregnant mothers want to control is to control their weight within a healthy range.
So what should pregnant mothers do? Specifically from 2 points:
One is to control the increased weight.
How much weight should I gain during pregnancy? It depends on how heavy you are before you get pregnant.
If you are thin before pregnancy, you can grow more meat, and if you are fat before pregnancy, you should grow less meat.
If you think this is too abstract, you can use BMI to define the range of your fat and thin and the weight you should gain.
The body mass index (BMI) is calculated as BMI = the square of body weight (kg) / height (m).
When the BMI before pregnancy < 18.5 (lean), the weight gain is in the range of 13 to 18 kg.
18.5< BMI<26 (appropriate), weight gain of 11 to 16 kg.
26< BMI<29 (obesity), weight gain in 7 to 11 kg.
The BMI is greater than 29 (obesity) and the weight gain is between 7 and 9 kg.
For example, before pregnancy weight 45 kg, high 165, BMI calculated to be 16.53, lean, the range of weight gain during pregnancy is 13 to 18 kg, the above values are for reference only, each mother's physical condition is different, the specific weight gain range is subject to doctor's advice.
The second is to control the rate of increase.
Your baby is very small in the first trimester, and your weight gain is best controlled at 1 to 2 kg. Some pregnant mothers may be a little lighter because of discomfort, which does not matter, you can add weight back later.
In the second trimester, it is best to grow by 0.5 to 0.7 kg per week, and the overall growth is 5.5 to 6.6 kg.
It is best to grow 0.5 kg per week in the third trimester, and the overall control is 3.5 to 4.5 kg.
Some mothers may find it difficult to grow at a uniform rate according to this standard. Relax, as long as the total amount of weight gain meets the standard, the overall weight gain rate is relatively stable, without giving yourself too much pressure.
During pregnancy, it is best to choose a certain day of the week and use the same scale to track weight gain on the same day of the week.
If you're already growing more than you planned, don't worry too much and don't diet to lose weight. Consult your doctor to adjust your weight gain plan and try to control your weight in the next stage.
It is important to control your weight during pregnancy, and it is important to do these 9 points well!
To control the weight, it is inseparable from a scientific diet and moderate exercise, do the following points, can help mothers better control weight, avoid overweight.
Reduce the intake of high-fat foods
Excessive intake of high-calorie snacks can lead to weight gain during pregnancy and can also make postpartum recovery more difficult, and if you're hungry, choose healthy snacks such as non-fried pancakes, low-fat yogurt, fresh fruit, vegetable sauce or whole wheat biscuits.
Eat less sweets and high-calorie snacks
Biscuits, candy, donuts, cakes, syrups, honey, all have a lot of calories, try not to eat these foods every day. Instead, try fresh fruit, low-fat yogurt, and more as low-calorie snacks.
Drink fewer sugary drinks
Sweet beverages such as soft drinks, juice drinks, fruit drinks, iced teas, lemonade or powdered beverage mixtures have a lot of calories. It's best to choose water, soda, or mineral water directly to replenish body fluids to reduce extra calories.
Control the amount of delicious fruit
Fruits are rich in nutrients, but can not let go of the belly to eat, for mothers with normal blood sugar, it is recommended to eat 200-400g of fruit per day.
However, if it is a mother with high blood sugar, it is recommended that the total amount of fruit intake per day should not exceed 200g, the weight is about equivalent to a medium-sized apple, and it is divided into small portions throughout the day.
Check the label
Choose foods that are low in fat, sugar, salt and fiber. Remember, serving size is important, so remember to save the serving size specified on the nutrition label, as multiple consumptions of low-calorie foods can add quite a few calories.
Eat fewer and more meals
Pregnancy does not need to eat two servings, if it is a healthy weight pregnant mother, add 340 calories per day in the second trimester, 450 calories per day in the third trimester of pregnancy, eat small numbers of meals throughout the day, eat foods rich in lean protein, eat fruits and vegetables.
Drink plenty of water
Pregnant mothers should drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, it is important to replenish water, drinking water can also prevent constipation, and ingesting enough water will help keep the body moving forward and prevent uncomfortable bloating.
Looking at the color of the urine can tell if the body is hydrated enough: if the urine is dark yellow or cloudy, it means that hydration is needed.
Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day
As long as it is a healthy pregnant mother, regular exercise every day is beneficial to weight control, you can choose to walk, low-intensity aerobic exercise, swim and ride a stationary bicycle, half an hour a day, at least 150 minutes a week, remember: pregnancy exercise should be slow, remember safety first, before starting pregnancy exercise, the indicators of pregnancy testing should be normal and with the consent of the doctor, and then start exercising.
Regular weight
Talk to your doctor or midwife about weight gain at each check-up. If you are overweight, your doctor will give you a reasonable opinion, which is good for the smooth birth and the health of you and your baby.
I hope all the best for the little pregnant women!
