Precautions that expectant mothers should pay attention to

The birth of your son is one of the greatest happy events in life.

There are still many things to pay attention to for the health and safety of yourself and your baby. Professional mothers and babies in Huaihua Hongya Hospital tell parents something pregnant women need to pay attention to.

Indomethacin is a banned antipyretic for pregnant women, and aspirin should not be used after 32 weeks of pregnancy. Antibiotics, if there is no clear evidence that pregnant women have bacterial infections due to colds, such as tonsillitis, hypertension, cough with yellow sputum, runny nose, etc. No antibiotics are needed. Expectorant and antitussive drugs are generally safe, but cough drugs containing iodine preparations should not be used by pregnant women.

2. What should pregnant women do if they have diarrhea?

Diarrhea in pregnant women may lead to miscarriage or premature delivery. First of all, don't eat for the time being, and make up for the water and electrolyte lost due to diarrhea, especially potassium ions, and also make up for the lost heat. You can prepare some liquid and digestible porridge for pregnant women. If it's not serious, it's good to be on an empty stomach. At the same time, we should closely observe whether the fetus is in good condition and whether there are signs of miscarriage or premature delivery. If the fetus is abnormal, go to the hospital immediately, and don't be careless.

3. Correct sleeping position during pregnancy

In the early pregnancy (1 ~ 3 months), pregnant women can sleep at will, mainly taking comfortable positions, such as supine position and lateral position. If you sleep on your stomach or with your arms around you, you should change your bad sleeping posture.

During the second trimester of pregnancy (4 ~ 7 months), we should pay attention to protecting the abdomen and avoid the direct effect of external force. If pregnant women have polyhydramnios or twin pregnancy, they should sleep on their side, which can make pregnant women more comfortable. If pregnant women feel that their lower limbs are heavy, they can take a supine position and raise their lower limbs slightly with a soft pillow.

In the third trimester of pregnancy (8 ~ 10 months), the left lateral position should be adopted, which can correct and increase the right rotation of uterus, reduce the oppression of uterus on abdominal aorta and iliac artery, and increase the blood supply of fetus, which is beneficial to the growth and development of fetus.
