Birth defects, this small probability "game", for individual life,
For a single family, it is 100% disaster.
Sometimes a baby with a physical defect is born,
It is a more sad thing than a miscarriage in the middle of pregnancy.
What is the peak period for defects in fetal development?
But what is uncomfortable is that when a newborn is born in the mainland, the probability of physical defects is not low, reaching 13.07 ‰.
Moreover, many of the children's defects can obviously be avoided, but the pregnant mother did not pay attention to the behavior habits during the peak period when the fetus is prone to defects, which led to tragedy.
Generally in the 3 to 8 weeks of pregnancy, is the most prone to problems in fetal development:
At 3 to 4 weeks of pregnancy, sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg, and then begin to implant in the uterus, at this time, if there is a problem with the implantation process, or infected with bacteria, it is prone to developmental problems;
At 5 weeks of gestation, the fertilized egg is divided into three embryonic layers to prepare for the development of each part;
At 6 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus's brain, respiratory system, liver, and blood circulation system begin to develop;
At 7 weeks of pregnancy, the heart of the fetal treasure is at the peak of development;
At 8 weeks of gestation, the characteristics of various organs slowly appear.
Can birth defects be prevented?
In 3 to 8 weeks of pregnancy, expectant mothers can adhere to the "seven noes and seven wants", which can effectively prevent the occurrence of birth defects.
Pregnant mother's seven don't
(1) Do not take medicine casually
Many medications, especially prescription medications, can easily lead to abnormal fetal development and need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Women who are in the pregnancy preparation period, if there are no special circumstances, do not use drugs casually, so as not to find out the pregnancy after taking the medicine, which will harm the fetus and the baby.
(2) Don't go to places with many people
Where there are many people, there are many germs, and if you come into contact with sick people, you will have an infection and affect the development of your child. For example, common chickenpox and rubella in life.
(3) Do not smoke
Nicotine in cigarettes can cause vasoconstriction, causing a decrease in blood flow from the umbilical cord to the fetus, causing asphyxia, leading to stunting. Moreover, there are many other harmful substances in cigarettes, which can easily cause fetal defects.
(4) Do not drink alcohol
Alcohol can damage the brain cells and liver cells of the fetus, causing the child to have problems such as slow fertility, abnormal head shape, and physical defects.
(5) Do not live in the newly renovated house
The newly renovated house may contain a large number of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, which is not conducive to fetal development. In addition, buying new furniture of poor quality is also dangerous, so it is best not to buy new things in the early stages of pregnancy.
(6) Do not go to a place with high temperature
Fever is a common factor that causes fetal defects, and the longer the fever lasts, the higher the likelihood that the fetus will have a defect. In addition to the fever and fever caused by health, pregnant mothers are also best not to go to the sauna, do not soak in long baths, and do not carry out high-temperature operations.
(7) Do not wear makeup or skin care casually
When preparing for pregnancy, you need to change your own cosmetics and skin care products, so as not to be pregnant without knowing it and harming the fetus. Cosmetics that contain alcohol, alcohol, bayberry, and flavor must not be used.
Seven points for pregnant mothers
(1) To take folic acid
Folic acid can effectively prevent fetal development defects, generally in the first three months of pregnancy, both husband and wife should start taking folic acid; in the first three months after pregnancy, pregnant mothers also need to take folic acid, and the Chinese Nutrition Society recommends taking folic acid throughout pregnancy.
Here every expectant mother should pay attention to the testing of folate metabolism genes, because if there is a problem with the folate metabolism enzyme, it will directly affect the metabolism of synthetic folate, resulting in some mothers even if they supplement the synthetic folic acid can not be effectively absorbed. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers with folic acid metabolism disorders must directly supplement active folic acid, eliminating metabolic steps and can be fully absorbed.
(2) Take a good rest
Overwork can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, as well as its division, which in turn affects the development of the fetus.
(3) To control emotions
Studies have shown that pregnant mothers who are often in bad mood in the first trimester are more likely to have defective children, so in addition to women to regulate their emotions, family members should also coax pregnant mothers to be happy.
(4) Insist on obstetric examination
NT examination, Tang sieve and four-dimensional color ultrasound in the obstetric examination can effectively find some defects of the fetus, and pregnant mothers need to go to the pregnancy test on time.
(5) To control the weight
In the first trimester, expectant mothers are too fat and too light to increase the likelihood of fetal birth defects. Therefore, the weight of the pregnant mother can no longer eat too greasy food, light weight, even if the early pregnancy reaction is uncomfortable, can not not eat.
(6) Use less electrical appliances
Printers, microwave ovens, computers, mobile phones may have slight radiation, pregnant mothers are best to use less electrical appliances, and they also need to stay away when using.
(7) Eat a healthy diet
Those that contain mold are the most likely to cause fetal defects. Corn and nuts of poor quality cannot be eaten by pregnant women; vegetables and fruits that are mildew must be thrown away immediately.
I wish you all a healthy baby.
