Girlfriend Sugar Sugar is 6 months pregnant, recently complained to me, said that since pregnancy, the stomach has often been "dark hands", she is very speechless, but also very troubled, do not know how to refuse.
Here's the thing:
My girlfriend went for a walk in the park this morning, and she met a neighbor, and she came up to touch her girlfriend's belly, and the first time she didn't have time to hide, she touched it. When she saw that she didn't touch it, she actually reached out and touched it again, and her girlfriend immediately hid when she saw this.
The neighbor was embarrassed and smiled and said that his stomach was magical, and he wanted to touch it. But the girlfriend does not think so, she feels that the stomach is a very private part, if it is not close people can not touch, in addition to the parenting book also said, after pregnancy, the stomach can not be touched.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with what the girlfriend did, although she refused not too cleverly, hurting the harmony between the neighbors.
Can A pregnant woman's stomach be touched?
In the past, I used to see pregnant women stroking their pregnant stomachs while talking to the babies in their stomachs, as if the fetus could understand.
Yes, this is the prenatal education in the prenatal education. Prenatal education can consciously give benign stimulation to fetal sensory organs, promote fetal brain development, physical and mental health, lay a good foundation for intellectual development and healthy growth after birth, and is the starting point of early education.
So pregnant women's stomachs can be touched!
Can a pregnant woman's stomach be touched casually?
Answer: No. Properly touching the stomach is good for the physical and mental development of the fetal baby, but it must not be touched casually.
First, in the first trimester, the fetal development is unstable, it is best not to touch the stomach at this time, and the fetus is still small, and it is not effective to do prenatal education at this time;
Second, in the second trimester, the fetus is developing steadily, and the stomach can be touched appropriately and correctly at this time. Touching the stomach can make the amniotic fluid gently shake, stimulate the sense of touch of the fetus, and promote brain development at the same time;
Third, in the third trimester, if the expectant mother often touches the stomach, it will cause uterine contractions, which can easily lead to the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck, so it is necessary to be cautious when touching the stomach at this time;
Fourth, these types of pregnant women cannot touch their stomachs: pregnant women with placenta previa; pregnant women with signs of preterm birth; pregnant women with frequent fetal movements.
How to properly touch the pregnant mother's belly?
1. You can touch it vertically
After 3 months of pregnancy, the expectant mother can do some back and forth stroke exercises. In the case of the mother-to-be's abdomen is completely relaxed, the hand is stroked back and forth from top to bottom, and the mouth can also talk to the fetus from time to time.
Tips: The action must be light when touching, and the time should not be too long, 2-5 minutes.
2, can be gently patted
After entering the 6th month of pregnancy, the fetus's sense of smell, hearing, vision and touch have developed well, and she can not only hear the voice of the expectant mother, but also feel the touch of the expectant mother. At this time, the expectant mother can put on some soothing music and gently pat the abdomen, thus stimulating the response of the fetus to stretch its fists and feet.
Tips:
It is best to carry out prenatal education at 9-10 pm, when the fetal baby is more active and can respond to you normally;
During the stroke process, if the baby's fetal movement becomes frequent, please stop patting immediately;
When slapping the mother-to-be's abdomen, the movement must be light and rhythmic, and the time is about 6 minutes each time.
3. Do not turn in a circle
Fetal baby is very smart, when you touch the belly, he will give a relative response, if you are in a circle of caressing, then the fetal baby may follow your technique, and then in the stomach "circle", which is very unfavorable to the health of the fetus, may cause the umbilical cord around the neck, may also cause contractions, and eventually lead to premature birth, so this technique is resolutely eliminated.
Touching the prenatal education is very good for the development of the fetus, but it must not be touched casually, and the wrong way of touching may bring invisible harm to the fetal baby, so it is necessary to correctly touch the baby.
