At the time of the new crown epidemic, pregnant "expectant mothers" are undergoing the double test of viral infection and fetal conception.
Some expectant mothers have been born prematurely during the infection, and the fetus needs to be treated with a ventilator after birth.
Some expectant mothers seek emergency medical attention in worry because of strong contractions caused by new crown symptoms.
Some expectant mothers are afraid of taking drugs to affect the fetus and choose to carry it hard (this behavior is seriously not recommended!). Generally, antipyretic drugs will not affect the fetus, and if the fever is not reduced in time, the amniotic fluid temperature will be too high and harm the fetus! Other expectant mothers do not follow suit, timely treatment is the most important! ）
The obstetrics and gynecology department in the hospital is waiting for the staff, and the medical staff rushes back and forth, trying to help every expectant mother cross this life-and-death hurdle.
Southern Weekend made an in-depth report on the new crown impact on obstetrics and gynecology
There are also expectant mothers who, after many hardships, finally did not see their angels...
How pregnant women can safely and effectively cope with the new crown is a difficult problem for doctors and expectant mothers. Therefore, this knowledge hopes that expectant mothers can understand:
1. Are pregnant women more susceptible to the new crown than the general population? Will it be more serious after infection?
Pregnant women are not a high-risk group of new crown infection, the infection rate is close to that of ordinary people, and the symptoms are similar to ordinary people, mainly fever and upper respiratory tract symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and nasal discharge.
2. Should you choose caesarean section to avoid fetal infection?
Regarding the probability of infection between mother and baby, there are no studies that show that spontaneous delivery is more dangerous than cesarean section, so it is not necessary to blindly choose cesarean section.
3. After the birth of the fetus, can the pregnant woman breastfeed if she is not yet impotent?
Can be fed. The new coronavirus has not yet been found in breast milk, but oral and nose protection and hand hygiene are required during feeding. In addition, the importance of breastfeeding to the fetus has outweighed the risk of transmission of the new coronavirus, and it is very necessary to continue breastfeeding.
4. Does the infection of pregnant women with the new coronavirus affect the fetus?
The impact of the new coronavirus and other types of influenza on the mother and fetus is similar, and the fever caused by these diseases can change the living environment of the fetus, causing miscarriage, teratogenicity and other problems. Therefore, pregnant women should take medicine in time when they have a fever, do not worry too much about the drug will affect the fetus, but pay attention to pregnant women can take acetaminophen, ibuprofen can not be used by pregnant women in general!
Liang Qichao used "women are weak, mothers are rigid" to describe the greatness of women in "Xinmin Theory", but with the passage of time, the stereotypical label of "weak nature" can no longer represent modern women. Pregnant "expectant mothers" are facing multiple pressures of health and emotions, and are using the strength and courage of "the most rigid" to overcome difficult difficulties.
