At the beginning of 20 15, the famous actress Amanda gave birth to a son by caesarean section in the hospital. She was born in 1978 at the age of 36. In medicine, even if the child was born over 35 years old, Amanda has properly crossed this threshold. Of course, she is likely to encounter all kinds of risks of an elderly woman. Unfortunately, she really did.
In fact, as early as when she was pregnant, Amanda had some ominous premonitions, because her pregnant belly was much bigger than normal pregnant women, and people who didn't know the truth thought she was pregnant with twins. But in fact, the prenatal examination clearly showed that she was pregnant with a single child, so there was only one answer: Amanda was pregnant with an overweight baby. Overweight babies, also known as "macrosomia", refer to newborns whose birth weight exceeds 8 kg.
It is understood that Amanda's family has a tradition of having a giant baby, and her pregnant belly is obviously too big, so it is almost certain to have a giant baby. Later, as expected, the child weighed 9 Jin at birth. After giving birth to the baby, Amanda looked at the baby that was bigger than expected and couldn't help crying.
Fortunately, her family has experience in dealing with "giant babies". Amanda and her husband are both actors and have strong assets. Under the careful care of the husband and wife, the "Giant Baby" son finally grew up healthily. It's been five years now. According to the regulations, Amanda's son is no different from a normal 5-year-old boy, and he inherits his parents' high looks and is very handsome. Amanda, who has been worried about her son's present situation, must be relieved.
Regarding the weight of newborns, the internationally accepted standard is 5~8 kg. Less than 5 kg is light, and more than 8 kg is overweight. Amanda's son weighed 9 Jin at birth and was an overweight baby. Although people always like to say "big fat", the fatter the newborn, the heavier the better. Overweight babies have many disadvantages compared with normal babies.
If the newborn weighs more than 8 kilograms, it will first encounter a great risk of childbirth. Because the maternal pelvic width is limited and the ability to expand the birth canal is limited, the overweight baby is huge and will be difficult to pass, leading to dystocia. In ancient times, there was no caesarean section, and it was very likely that one corpse would kill two people. Although there is caesarean section technology now, the risk cannot be completely ruled out. It is for this reason that Amanda chose caesarean section. In fact, she had no choice. Forced childbirth was tantamount to gambling.
In addition to the great risk during childbirth, the probability of overweight infants suffering from respiratory xi disease is much higher than that of ordinary newborns, and they will get sick at birth in severe cases. In addition, overweight babies also have a high probability of developing cardiovascular diseases, and this effect is persistent. It may be that the cardiovascular system is normal at birth, and it will not appear until the child is a few years old or ten years old. Finally, the deformity rate of overweight infants is much higher than that of normal-weight newborns, especially the umbilical region, which is prone to umbilical hernia or umbilical detachment.
Seeing this, I believe you can understand why Amanda was so sad that she cried when she learned that her baby was 9 kg. What kind of women give birth to overweight babies? There are many reasons, and actress Amanda won at least two of them.
First of all, there is a family history. If there are too many cases of "giant babies" in the family, the probability of giving birth to overweight babies is much higher than that of ordinary pregnant women, regardless of their own conditions. This is the case with Amanda, who has a family history of "Big Baby".
Secondly, the older the mother, the higher the probability of giving birth to an overweight baby. Tragically, Amanda was 36 years old when she gave birth, which belongs to the category of super-old pregnant women. Compared with young pregnant women, it is naturally easier to give birth to overweight babies.
The last category is pregnant women who gain too much weight during pregnancy. From the performance point of view, they gained a lot of weight during pregnancy. Such pregnant women may eat too much during pregnancy, or may have gestational diabetes. In any case, as long as the weight gain during pregnancy is too fast, pregnant mothers should be psychologically prepared to be pregnant with overweight babies and make plans to minimize the risk.
As long as a pregnant woman wins one of the above three factors, it is a high probability event to be pregnant with an overweight baby. It's not surprising that poor Amanda won two games in a row and gave birth to a baby weighing 9 pounds. Of these three reasons, the family genetic history cannot be changed, but the latter two can be controlled by pregnant women themselves, so there is no way to avoid giving birth to unhealthy overweight babies as much as possible.
The first is to be born early. The best reproductive period for women, also known as the "golden reproductive period", is 22 to 30 years old. As long as children born at this age, their birth weight can mostly fall within the normal standard of 5 to 8 kilograms, and their health status is naturally much higher than that of overweight or ultra-light babies. Unfortunately, at most stages, women's first childbearing age is increasingly delayed. In some big cities, the average age of giving birth is over 30. If this trend continues, the probability of overweight babies will definitely increase greatly.
Secondly, strengthen the diet management during pregnancy, eat more high-protein and low-calorie foods to avoid abnormal weight gain. During pregnancy, you must gain weight. After all, the fetus is also important. Coupled with the weight of placenta and amniotic fluid, it is generally necessary to gain about 20 kg before labor. However, weight gain during pregnancy is regular. Pregnant women can regularly measure their weight and compare it with the standard value. If you find that you have gained too much weight, you should pay attention to your diet and reduce the intake of high-calorie foods, that is, staple foods. Only by maintaining a regular increase in weight can we avoid getting pregnant with an overweight baby to the greatest extent.
Conclusion:
Giving birth to an overweight baby is a disaster for the whole family. Not only do parents spend more energy, but also the children themselves suffer. Not every family can be as rich as Amanda's, so female friends who want to get pregnant and have children must be cautious and strive for the baby to win at the starting line, rather than relying on the rich family resources to make up for it later.
