Studies have shown that 60% to 80% of perinatal women will have different degrees of depression.
Pregnancy is divided into many stages, and everyone is more familiar with the "early, middle and late" period of pregnancy. In fact, there is another stage that is not often mentioned and is crucial for both the fetus and the pregnant woman.
During this time, sugar mother received several doubts about the "perinatal period", combined with the obstetric examination experience of several expectant mothers, and everyone nagged about the perinatal period.
Pregnant mothers do not understand what is "perinatal" during obstetric examination
A mother-to-be is happy to write a private message to Sugar Mom, she recalls the experience of obstetric examination and feels embarrassed and nervous, I hope I can share it with expectant mothers who have not yet reached the perinatal period, so that everyone can be mentally prepared.
At the hospital where Lexin was examined, her family members could not accompany her during the examination, which made her very nervous when she was pregnant for the first time.
After careful inspection, the doctor told Lexin baby that everything was fine. However, from the perspective of the actual gestational age, it will soon enter the "perinatal period", and more attention should be paid to protecting yourself and the baby, and do not leave the follow-up obstetric examination.
After Lexin heard it, he felt that there was something in the doctor's words, so he said to the doctor: "It's okay, you and I can tell the truth, I can bear it." ”
When the doctor saw Lexin's look, he couldn't help but laugh. Don't scare yourself, every pregnant woman has to go through the perinatal period, the third trimester is almost the same, but longer than the third trimester.
Listening to the doctor's explanation, Lexin was relieved. Out of the examination room, I sat on a chair and inquired, as a pregnant woman, I didn't know the perinatal period, and I said such embarrassing things to the doctor.
Quietly tell everyone that when Sugar Mom was pregnant with her first child, she didn't know what the perinatal period was. Don't blame or worry about it, it's not too late to understand.
What exactly is the difference between "perinatal"? Come and learn ahead
Not only do expectant mothers need to understand the significance of the perinatal period, but couples who are preparing to become pregnant can also learn in advance to make pregnancy easier.
The so-called "perinatal period" is calculated from the beginning of 28 weeks of pregnancy, counting the time of delivery, until the end of 1 week after childbirth. The safety of pregnant women, fetuses, mothers and newborns is at stake.
The timing of the due date will vary from country to country, or with different levels of care, with many regions bringing the start forward to around 24 weeks to provide more comprehensive protection.
As we often say about the third trimester, we usually pay more attention to time and the age of pregnancy. But when it comes to the perinatal period, more details are taken into account.
For the fetus, the significance of the beginning of the perinatal period means that the child is born before the expected date, is also relatively safe, and is likely to survive.
For pregnant women, there is a certain danger in the perinatal period, the most likely to occur is cardiomyopathy, and more attention should be paid to this aspect of the examination during the perinatal period.
The reason why the "perinatal period" continues until 1 week after childbirth is because after this time, the physical state of the mother and the newborn is more stable and safe.
"Perinatal" is the dividing line between pregnancy, what do I need to pay attention to?
It is generally believed that the third trimester is the safest time. In fact, entering the "perinatal period" is like the dividing line between pregnancy, and the things that need to be paid attention to are not the same as the things to be paid attention to 28 weeks ago.
But don't be too nervous, ensure that there are no problems in the following aspects, and the perinatal period will be very smooth.
The first is the inspection aspect
Sugar moms found that many expectant mothers attach great importance to obstetric examinations before 28 weeks of pregnancy, and after 28 weeks they are reluctant to run to the hospital.
Because before 28 weeks, many of the tests for derativation had already been done. I thought it was good to wait for the baby to grow up, but in fact, the obstetric examination during the perinatal period was still very important.
Although the obstetric examination at this stage is simple, it is related to whether the expectant mother needs to have a baby in advance and how to give birth to the baby. If this step is skipped, the risk of childbirth increases.
The second is the physical aspect
Entering the perinatal period, the expectant mother's body is becoming more and more inconvenient, and the swelling and fattening are more obvious, and may deliberately eat less.
However, it should be noted that this period is the time when the fetus and pregnant women are in need of calcium and other nutrients. As long as you don't overeat, don't eat less.
At the same time, we must also pay attention to the care of the newborn during the perinatal period, one week after childbirth, half of the newborn is spent in the hospital, half of the time is spent at home, after leaving the doctor, the family is easy to have superstitious ways to take the baby.
For the sake of the baby's good health, do not make leggings, squeeze him, and shake hard, etc., fragile newborns are easily hurt.
Finally, there is the psychological aspect
Expectant mothers are prone to anxiety during the "perinatal period", and if they are not discharged in time, they will become a hidden danger of postpartum depression.
Anxiety comes from the effects of changes in the body's hormones on the one hand, and from the stress of pregnancy and impending babies on the other.
While ensuring that the mother is physically comfortable, the family should also pay attention to her psychological changes. They are not emotional because of temperament, and happily spending the perinatal period will greatly reduce the occurrence of postpartum depression.
After the "perinatal period" is over, women should not let their guard down
Although the perinatal period lasts only one week after childbirth, many good habits must be maintained after the perinatal period.
The perinatal period is over, but confinement is not over. The newborn has just grown up and is now recovering from the postpartum body, and the following details still cannot be relaxed.
Lochia lasts mostly 4 to 6 weeks, and most women are clean in about 21 days. If after the perinatal period, the lochia is still very much, even has a taste, and needs to be checked in time.
The real danger period of the newborn is until 2 weeks after childbirth, so the family usually has to carefully observe the baby's physical condition. The perinatal period is over and cannot be relaxed immediately.
The psychological problems of pregnant women should be continuously concerned, and if women only have a good mood during the perinatal period of one week after childbirth. At the end of the perinatal period, you are still in a bad mood, or you may be plagued by postpartum depression.
At least for 1 year after childbirth, we must always pay attention to the psychological situation of women. In particular, a woman with a baby at home alone may not perform for 1 to 2 months after giving birth, but she collapsed when the baby was about 1 year old.
As long as the baby does not leave the hand, we must give the woman timely care and care, do not let her be hurt because of postpartum depression.
