What can pregnant mothers not miss in the three golden weeks of fetal intellectual development?

When sperm and eggs combine to form a fertilized egg and implant it in the uterus, it means that you have become a expectant mother. It, from fertilized egg to embryo, then to fetus, experienced the growth of 10 months, and finally was born in the form of a baby. We all hope that the baby will be born safely and smoothly, and we earnestly hope that he can grow into a smart and well-behaved doll.

Many people think that it is impossible to have a baby with superior intelligence. In fact, children's intellectual inheritance is the main factor, and it is also influenced by acquired factors such as environment, nutrition and education.

Experts estimate that the influence of heredity on intelligence accounts for about 50%-60%. According to statistics, when the baby is born, the brain cells of the brain have developed100 ~1800 million, reaching 70%~80% of the adult brain cells.

Therefore, when the fetus is still in the mother's belly, whether you can provide him with a good growth environment and lay a solid foundation for physical development is very important for the baby's intellectual development.

In the process of pregnancy in October, the baby's intellectual development has three "golden" periods. If you are a pregnant mother, you'd better realize that at the right time, you should take appropriate measures to add points and colors to your baby's intellectual development.

★ The first golden period: 8 weeks before pregnancy-brain formation period. The authoritative doctor of neurology in the United States found that the initial primary nerve tissue was produced by the interaction between mesoderm and ectoderm on the18th day after the fertilized egg was formed. In other words, embryonic brain tissue began to form on the first 18 day of fertilization.

Before the eighth week of pregnancy, the tiny embryo in our body can't be called a fetus, because "he" is too small to be human. At this stage, most expectant mothers already know that they are pregnant and have a very obvious reaction during pregnancy.

It was also at this time that the baby completed the most critical part of physical development: the heart began to differentiate and slowly had a heartbeat; Brain tissue is slowly forming, showing a hemisphere state, and the neurons inside are also developing at a high speed. This is the first peak of fetal brain development.

During this period, the development of various organs of the baby's body needs various nutrients, especially protein, folic acid and iron. Therefore, expectant mothers should pay attention to develop good eating habits, have a balanced and comprehensive diet, and eat more healthy foods that are beneficial to their babies.

Due to the strong reaction during pregnancy, some expectant mothers vomit everything they eat. Expectant mothers with severe vomiting can try to increase their appetite with fruits and vegetables, such as lemon, navel orange and pineapple, or add a small amount of vinegar and ginger to make the dishes more delicious. You can also drink sour plum soup, orange juice and sugarcane juice to relieve discomfort during pregnancy.

In addition, in the important period of the formation of fetal brain and body parts, expectant mothers should give up some bad habits in the past, such as staying up late, smoking and drinking. Because a little carelessness may have an irreversible impact on fetal development.

★ The second golden period, 20 weeks of pregnancy-about 20 weeks of pregnancy In the period of brain cell proliferation, expectant mothers should have gradually become pregnant and can feel obvious fetal movement. At this time, his nervous systems such as hearing and vision began to develop one after another, and the development of brain cells became more and more complicated.

At this time, the fetal brain volume grows rapidly, increasing by about 90 grams per month, and the number of neurons reaches tens of billions. Moreover, his neural network has gradually matured, and the perception area has been divided, and he can begin to feel the world. It can be said that this period is the second turning point of fetal intelligence development, and expectant mothers must not take it lightly.

Pregnancy tips

Starting from this week, prospective parents can do prenatal education for their babies. There are several ways of prenatal education: music prenatal education, listening to some light music or soothing music to the baby every day; Language prenatal education, talk to the baby and tell stories at a fixed time every day; Light prenatal education, when it is sunny, go outdoors to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air.

When doing prenatal education, you should pay attention to observing the baby's schedule (which can be judged according to fetal movement). Try to do it when the baby is awake, so as not to affect sleep. And the frequency should not be too frequent, and the time should not be too long, so as not to disturb his work and rest habits.

The baby grows very fast, and the required nutrition also increases. However, because the uterus may be squeezed into the stomach, expectant mothers will always feel full, so they should eat some small and nutritious food and still eat less and more meals. It is suggested to eat more foods rich in protein, calcium, potassium and magnesium, such as milk, tofu, vegetables and lean meat.

★ The third golden period, 30 weeks of pregnancy-the active period of brain cells, is the most active time for fetal baby's brain development. His nervous system has developed well, and the brain foundation has been fully formed, but the neurons that affect the nerve development have not stopped working (it will last for several years after his birth, and even enter adolescence).

The activity of brain neurons is the basis of advanced brain functions, and synaptic connections between neurons are the key functional nodes of neural circuits. That is to say, the stimulation and development of fetal synapses is the key to lay the foundation for various abilities of the fetus in the future, including vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, motor sense and so on.

Experts also found that proper exercise by expectant mothers can moderately stimulate the vestibular sensation of the fetus. If the vestibular stimulation is insufficient, it will affect the baby's future balance ability and motor coordination ability.

At this stage, the baby's growth rate is amazing, and his subcutaneous fat continues to grow, so now it looks more "round". At this time, the nutritional demand has reached the peak, and pregnant mothers should eat well and sleep well to ensure the healthy growth of the fetus.

As mentioned above, in order to stimulate the baby's vestibular development, expectant mothers can do some low-intensity aerobic exercises, such as yoga, walking, maternity exercises, swimming and simple housework during pregnancy. It is recommended to exercise at least three times a week for about 30 minutes each time, which is helpful to the brain development of the fetus.

It should be noted that pregnant mothers should stop exercising immediately if they feel uncomfortable during pregnancy. If you are unfamiliar with sports, you should do it under the guidance of professionals to avoid accidents. In the process of exercise, we should pay attention to doing what we can, on the premise of not feeling uncomfortable.

At the end, all parents want their baby to be talented and win at the starting line of life as soon as he is born. In the three golden periods of fetal baby's brain development, as long as the pregnant mother is careful in nutrition, work and rest, prenatal education and exercise, the chances of giving birth to a smart and healthy baby will be greatly improved.
