A good pregnancy is never missed
2022 is the Year of the Tiger, if you also want to have a tiger baby this year, then you must seize the time to actively prepare for pregnancy, adjust the body to a better state of conception, and successfully meet a good pregnancy...
So, how to seize the time to have a baby in 2022?
First, both husband and wife must be examined
Many couples who are trying to conceive often have such a misunderstanding:
"Doing a preconception test is a waste of money"
Especially the face-loving men
They think
I am in good health
No problem without checking
In fact
The body does not do a test
How do you know if you're really healthy?
According to the data
With the progress of society, pollution increases
And the increase in older pregnant mothers
Pregnancy preparation has also become a difficult process
Either they are prepared for infertility for a long time and are under pressure from all sides; or they often find that their health has problems after pregnancy, such as growing uterine fibroids, low thyroid function, high blood sugar, and some women have precancerous lesions or cancers, which can easily lead to premature birth, pregnancy complications or complications, and even life-threatening.
Knock on the blackboard! Scratch the point!
I want to know if my body is ready to get pregnant
as well as reducing the rate of deformities in your baby
Be sure to do a preconception check-up!
At present, there are thousands of genetic diseases, most of which do not have a root treatment. Once a child with genetic disease is born, it cannot be cured to bring trouble and heavy burden to the child, family and society.
Genetic diseases focus on prevention, and various examination methods should be taken to prevent the birth of children with genetic diseases. Preconception examination refers to the physical examination of the couple going to the hospital before they are ready to become pregnant to ensure that a healthy baby is born, so as to achieve eugenics.
Preconception tests are different from routine physical exams. Examinations are done primarily against the reproductive system and genetic factors. The preconception examination of the relevant projects is the basic guarantee for the health of the child for life. The best time to check up before pregnancy is 3 to 6 months before pregnancy.
2. Stop contraception 2-3 weeks before pregnancy
If you want to have children, you must not be able to use contraception during the pregnancy. If contraception is performed by taking oral contraceptives or by taking a contraceptive ring, the use of contraceptives should be stopped at least 1 month before the 2-3 months of pregnancy and a normal menstrual period should be experienced.
Once you have an unexpected pregnancy while taking the pill, you should explain it to your doctor in time to avoid the large amount of synthetic progesterone contained in oral contraceptives from affecting embryonic development.
Third, the husband and wife quit drinking and smoking 3 months ago
Nicotine in cigarettes, as well as ethanol in wine, have a damaging effect on both sperm and eggs. Studies have shown that fathers who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day have a 2% increase in congenital malformations in their children; for those who smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day, the proportion of deformed sperm exceeds 20%. And the longer you smoke, the more deformed sperm there are. The wife's frequent smoking can also affect the healthy development of the egg and even lead to abnormalities in the egg.
Both or one of the couples often drink alcohol, which not only affects the development of sperm or eggs, causing deformities of sperm or eggs, but also affects the smooth implantation and embryonic development of the fertilized egg. At the same time, alcohol can enter the fetal blood through the placenta, causing fetal intrauterine dysplasia, abnormal development of the central nervous system, and mental retardation, which is called alcoholism syndrome.
Therefore, both couples should stop smoking and drinking alcohol in the first 3 months of pregnancy, so that the concentration of nicotine and alcohol in the body is zero in the blood.
4. Start taking folic acid 3 months before pregnancy
Folic acid is an important nutrient for the development of the embryonic nervous system, once the female body is lacking, it will affect the neural tube development of the embryo, resulting in the birth of anencephaly, spina bifida, cerebral bulge and other deformities. China's diet structure often makes the folate content in food insufficient, so it is necessary to supplement folic acid in moderation.
There are many women who now know that folic acid supplementation during pregnancy is good for the health of the next generation. But it may be a bit "too late" to start taking it after pregnancy, because folic acid takes about two months in the human body to reach the level that the body needs. Therefore, women should start ingesting adequate amounts of folic acid 3 months before planning pregnancy to reduce or avoid the occurrence of neural tube defects.
Fifth, reduce the intake of caffeine
Coffee, cocoa, tea, chocolate, and cola-type beverages all contain caffeine. Men drink cola-type caffeine drinks, sperm will be directly killed, thus affecting the man's reproductive ability, if the injured sperm once combined with the egg, may lead to fetal malformations, or congenital deficiency. Women who drink cola for a long time are prone to infertility.
Caffeine also enters the fetus through the placenta, stimulates fetal excitement, affects the normal development of organs such as the fetal brain, heart and liver, and makes the fetus weigh less after birth. Experts recommend that women who are trying to conceive and pregnant women who are already pregnant should eat as little as possible such foods.
Therefore, for the sake of eugenics, couples who want babies are best away from coffee and cola drinks.
Sixth, use drugs with caution
Pregnancy is very closely related to medications, but pregnancy is usually not detected until 4-5 weeks later. Therefore, small couples who are planning to become pregnant should plan ahead, and when planning pregnancy, they should start using drugs carefully from the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Special attention should be paid when taking medication for illness or other reasons before pregnancy. Because some drugs stay and act in the body for a long time, sometimes they have an impact on the fetus, especially antibiotics or cold medicines. Antihistamines, aspirin with antipyretic and analgesic effects, etc., should not be used for a long time.
It is generally necessary to state your pregnancy plan before the doctor prescribes it, including the husband, because many drugs can also damage sperm. Consult with your doctor to see if there will be adverse effects on the fetus.
7. Exercise appropriately for both husband and wife before preparing for pregnancy
Before planning pregnancy, the woman should first adjust her body so that she can keep her body in the best condition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, bear the burden of raising the fetus and educating the fetus, and be competent for the consumption of physical strength during pregnancy and childbirth. In order to enhance sperm motility, the man's exercise is equally important.
For women, the strength is small, the endurance is relatively poor, but the flexibility and flexibility are strong, so it is advisable to choose aerobics, swimming, jogging, yoga, mountaineering, dancing and other sports with low physical requirements.
No matter what exercise method you choose, you should be gradual and persistent. Because the changes in the body are slow, only continuous exercise can improve the body, and the body's defense function against the outside world is enhanced. With only 15 minutes a day and more than 2 months, you can gradually achieve the purpose of enhancing physical fitness.
Some women have a long time to prepare for pregnancy, and the preparation time before pregnancy is sufficient, and the physical requirements of pregnancy can be met by strengthening exercise.
