Hello everyone, I'm Cuckoo Mama~
In foreign countries, birthmarks have a nice name - God's kiss marks.
Many children are born with a little birthmark. Some birthmarks may slowly disappear after a few years, while others will accompany the child for a lifetime and become his unique mark.
How did that birthmark come about? What are its "secrets" that we don't know?
Cuckoo's mother was pregnant with Bu Yu, and she was very worried that the child in her belly had a birthmark. If it is okay to be born in a hidden place, if it is too obvious, it will properly affect the appearance.
When I did the obstetric examination, I asked the obstetrician, and the doctor told me: "The birthmark is caused by congenital developmental abnormalities, which are divided into pigmented birthmarks and vascular birthmarks. ”
However, there is a lot of knowledge about birthmarks, and the doctor can't tell me too comprehensively for a while.
But for the sake of the baby's appearance, so as not to have an inferiority complex after he is born. Cuckoo's mother, in line with the mentality of "learning and asking", looked up a lot of information about birthmarks. Finally, I figured out the knowledge related to birthmarks. Let's take a look at it together
One: Classification of birthmarks
Regarding birthmarks, mothers don't really need to be too anxious. Because according to statistics, 80% of newborns are born with birthmarks, and most of them are harmless.
Common birthmarks come in 4 colors:
Brown birthmark
The brown birthmark is like the milk added to coffee, so it is also called "coffee milk spot". There are several such birthmarks on Buu's legs.
I asked the doctor if this birthmark had much effect, and he replied to me:
"Coffee milk spots generally don't have to worry, it will slowly disappear as the child grows up. However, if there are more than 6 such birthmarks and the diameter is greater than 1.5 cm, it needs to be checked. ”
Cyan birthmark
Cyan birthmarks are more common, and they resemble bruises. No wonder many older generations joke that this is a kick at the birth of a child, so it leaves this mark.
The birthmark of this color is also called "Mongolian spot".
Mongol spots do not cause much effect and will not have lesions. In general, it will disappear automatically when the child is 1-2 years old. If it does not subside, it will also subside on its own when it is about 6-10 years old.
This type of birthmark is relatively safe, and parents do not need to worry.
Black birthmark
The black birthmark is a type of pigmentation, and its presentation is generally mole. Most people have a few moles on their bodies, and their distribution range is relatively random, and there is no fixed location.
As long as the mole is not particularly large or does not cause other discomfort, we generally do not need to pay attention to it.
Red birthmark
About this red birthmark, whether it is a book or a mother's network pregnancy app, it is more mentioned. Moms can't be careless. Red birthmarks are divided into 3 categories:
● "Angel's Kiss"
Since it is the kiss mark of an angel, this kind of birthmark is harmless. It looks like a reddish mark left after we kiss a baby.
This "kiss mark" will slowly disappear after the baby is born a few months or around the age of 1, and will not affect the baby.
●"Strawberry mole"
Strawberry moles are also red, and unlike Angel's Kiss, it will have some raised pimples on the surface of your baby's skin. It looks like a strawberry.
"Strawberry nevi" is a vascular birthmark, which usually atrophises and disappears before the baby is 5 years old. However, if it grows around the eyes and nose, affecting the baby's vision development or breathing, it is necessary to see a doctor in time to take measures.
●Burgundy birthmark
In the red birthmark, the most important thing parents need to pay attention to is this burgundy birthmark.
The Pregnancy Bible states that burgundy birthmarks generally grow on the baby's face or neck, are caused by abnormal blood vessels, and do not disappear on their own.
These birthmarks start out pink and later grow into burgundy or purple. Not only that, but it will slowly spread around.
We face such birthmarks, we should not take it lightly, we must ask the doctor in time and take corresponding measures.
Two: How to avoid long birthmarks for babies?
The Sears Pregnancy Encyclopedia mentions that birthmarks are influenced by both genetic factors and life during pregnancy.
When I consulted with the obstetrician, he reminded me that if a pregnant mother does not want her child to have a birthmark, then in the life of pregnancy, she must avoid the following things:
●Avoid bumps in the abdomen
I think pregnant mothers throughout pregnancy, the most nervous, is the abdomen. The little fetus is curled up in the mother's belly, and if it bumps into it, it is not a joke.
Moreover, if the pregnant mother's abdomen is hit by a collision that happens to be the child's capillaries, it will increase the chance of long birthmarks.
● The food that enters the mouth should be well closed
I believe that most pregnant mothers will "avoid mouth" during pregnancy, raw cold stimulation, more seasoning, heavy taste, can not eat as little as possible. These foods have the potential to cause pigmentation, which can lead to long birthmarks for your baby.
●We do not use skin care products that contain many metal ingredients
After pregnancy, pregnant mothers try to use skin care products specific to pregnant women. Because the heavy metals in some skin care products will be absorbed by the human body through the skin, thus affecting the fetus.
The most important thing for pregnant mothers in the workplace is whether they can wear makeup. The doctor's advice is: if you can not make it up, you really can't put on a light makeup.
It is worth noting that pregnant mothers must not wear lipstick! Lipstick is eaten through the mouth into the stomach, directly affecting fetal development.
Well, about the baby birthmark, Cuckoo Mom will talk to everyone about this, I hope that everyone is pregnant with a high-value baby without a birthmark
