Is the "cottage tire protection law" credible or not?

Whether you have ever been pregnant or not, you must have heard some folk pregnancy taboos and fetal protection remedies, let us take you to dismantle these most common "cottage fetal protection methods".

Folk taboos for fetal preservation

Legend 1: Do not move the bed, disassemble the decorations in the house, nail the walls, sew needles and threads, and move the scissors, otherwise it may offend the fetal god, lead to miscarriage, or give birth to a child with a missing nose, eyes, cleft lips, hand and foot defects, etc.

Dismantling: 2% to 3% of newborns have congenital malformations of different sizes, the previous people's cultural level is not high, do not know what is caused by miscarriage and deformity, put the responsibility on some infrequent things, and add superstitious statements, in fact, is a "attribution effect", there is no scientific basis.

Legend 2: Do not move, otherwise it will touch the fetal god.

Disassembly: The fetal god is a superstitious statement. But when moving, even if there is a moving company to carry heavy objects, there are still many things to sort out, and fatigue does increase the chance of accidents for pregnant women. Moreover, if the new house has just been renovated, there will be more or less toxic substance residues, which is not conducive to the health of the mother and fetus.

Legend 3: Relatives can not marry to welcome the car, otherwise the fetus will be frightened; to participate in the wedding can not eat a wedding feast or cakes and candy, so as not to endanger the mother and child with "joy and joy"; can not watch the funeral to prevent rushing.

Dismantling: The joy or funeral itself has little to do with pregnancy, but these events may affect the psychology of pregnant women, which in turn will cause changes in the internal environment and cause certain adverse effects on pregnancy, so this statement has some truth, but the consequences are exaggerated. Pregnant women should participate less in such activities in order to maintain a peaceful mind.

Food preservation article

Rumor 1: The fruit is rich in nutrients and is beneficial to the mother and fetus; apples have a fetal effect and can be eaten more; watermelon is cool and pregnant women should not eat it.

Disassembly: Many fruits have a high sugar content, pregnant women should not eat too much, and can not take the fruit as a meal. Apple has no fetal effect, can only supplement vitamins, eat too much will also be constipated. Western medicine has no contraindications on watermelon, and there is no data on abortion. Pregnant women can follow the principle of freshness and moderation of fruit consumption, such as "one apple, one orange and one watermelon a day" as the standard, more and less.

Myth 2: Worried about suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy, he refused to eat sugar and chocolate.

Disassembly: If pregnant women consume too much sugar and consume more insulin, diabetic symptoms may occur; obese women and pregnant women who have previously had diabetes during pregnancy will aggravate diabetes symptoms. However, normal women, especially thin women, do not need to touch a little sugar, just the right amount.

Rumor 3: Crab and barley can cause miscarriage, and should be fasted during pregnancy.

Disassembly: Shrimp and shellfish and seafood foods are easy to putrefaction or have hepatitis A virus, etc., if not fresh or undercooked, eating is easy to cause physical discomfort. If pregnant women are prone to allergies to shrimp and shellfish food, they should not be consumed during pregnancy. In addition to the above reasons, eating crab is not too taboo for pregnant women.

Eating too much coix may cause the uterus to contract, but it is generally safe for pregnant women to eat a little by chance.

Drug fetal protection

Statement 1: Blood activating drugs, antibiotics, etc. cannot be used.

Disassembly: These two types of drugs are not absolutely banned for pregnant women, depending on the actual situation. For example, some pregnant women with heart disease must take aspirin for a long time, which will threaten the health of the mother, and if the pregnant woman has bleeding, consider temporary discontinuation. Many expectant mothers have taken "pregnant women's ban" drugs during their ultra-early pregnancy (within 4 weeks of the last menstrual period) and are worried that they will cause fetal malformations. In fact, this will lead to two results, one is the abortion affected by the drug, and the other is that the fetus is completely unaffected and survives, without teratogenicity, which is the so-called "all or none" phenomenon.

Theory 2: Chinese medicine is most suitable for the treatment of diseases and supplements during pregnancy.

Dismantling: Although the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine are relatively mild, the composition is complex, not all of them are harmless to the mother and fetus, and still need to be used with caution; some expectant mothers want to consolidate the fetus by taking tonics, but in fact, ginseng, deer antler velvet, guiyuan and other supplements are not suitable for taking during pregnancy. Chinese medicines and various tonics can only be taken under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner.

Statement 3: Animal placenta contains progesterone, and consumption has a fetal preservation effect.

Disassembly: The animal placenta does contain progesterone. However, it must be because of insufficient progesterone in the body to play a role in fetal preservation. However, after digestion and absorption, the amount of action that enters the body is not much, and the effect is not as good as that of drugs.

Life behavior to protect the fetus

Fetal protection method 1: if there are symptoms of miscarriage, bed rest can save the fetus.

Dismantling: According to foreign studies, 20%-30% of pregnant women may have symptoms in the vagina during pregnancy, and half of them, regardless of whether they have special bed rest, will eventually disappear and the fetus will pass through pregnancy safely; while the other half, even if absolutely bedridden, will miscarry. This means that bed rest does not reduce the chance of miscarriage, but only reduces symptoms. It's just that people who are bedridden and successfully give birth have a "benchmarking effect", thinking that bedridden can save the fetus.

Fetal Protection Law 2: Sexual life is easy to miscarry and must be prohibited.

Disassembly: The first 3 months of pregnancy and the last 2 months of pregnancy should be stopped as much as possible, and the intercourse can be reduced in the medium term. If there is abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, placenta previa, etc., it is not suitable for intercourse. However, in addition to vaginal intercourse, there are many ways to have sex that do not affect pregnancy.

Fetal protection method 3: Do not exercise, do not stand for a long time, exert force or fatigue, do not squat for a long time, and do not often do lifting and stretching the waist.

Dismantling: Pregnant women should not carry out strenuous exercise, but some simple and relaxed exercises can be carried out, such as gymnastics for pregnant women, swimming, etc., the main principle is to avoid overwork and beware of injury. Studies in Japan have shown that pregnant women who kneel or squat for a long time have an increased miscarriage rate in the third trimester of pregnancy. Standing for a long time can easily lead to lower extremity reflux disorders, foot swelling, varicose veins, and easy fatigue. Lifting high and stretching the waist is appropriate, and if it is not forced, it is not a big problem.

Fetal protection method 4: Radiation protection clothing should be worn during pregnancy to avoid the fetus from being affected by mobile phones, computers, etc.

Disassembly: On the one hand, the teratogenic and lethal effects of home appliances on the fetus have not yet been determined by the medical community, on the other hand, the radiation protection clothing sold on the market has a limited effect, and the psychological effect is greater than the actual effect.
