What things should elderly women pay attention to after pregnancy?

Older women usually refer to pregnant women aged 35 and above. Due to the increase of age, older women may face more risks and challenges during pregnancy and childbirth. Here are some suggestions to help older women stay healthy during pregnancy:

1. Make an appointment for prenatal check-up: Older women should have regular prenatal check-ups so that doctors can closely monitor the development of the fetus and the mother's health. Prenatal examination helps to find and deal with potential problems in time.

2. Balanced diet: Maintain healthy eating habits and ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins and minerals. Avoid eating too much caffeine, sugar and unhealthy fat.

3. Proper exercise: Proper exercise during pregnancy helps to keep healthy, reduce discomfort during pregnancy, and prevent complications such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Please choose the appropriate exercise mode under the doctor's advice.

4. Weight control: Control weight gain during pregnancy according to doctor's advice. Excessive weight gain may increase the risk of gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension and other complications.

5. Avoid harmful substances: avoid contact with tobacco smoke, alcohol and other harmful chemicals, because they may cause harm to the fetus.

6. Manage stress: learn to cope with stress and maintain a good mental state. Try yoga, meditation or other relaxation techniques to relieve stress.

7. Taking folic acid: Taking folic acid supplements before pregnancy and early pregnancy can help prevent congenital diseases such as neural tube defects.

8. Discuss the delivery plan with the doctor: Discuss the delivery plan with the doctor to understand the possible risks and complications and how to deal with these situations. According to your specific situation, the doctor may advise you to have a cesarean section or a natural delivery.

9. Pay attention to fetal movement: Pay close attention to the frequency and intensity of fetal movement. If you find anything unusual, please seek medical advice in time.
