Q 1: Can you still have a husband and wife life when you are pregnant? Do I have to wear condoms?

A: There are three points to pay attention to during pregnancy:

1, basically, except for several high-risk pregnancies (such as placenta previa, prenatal bleeding, emergency abortion, cervical atresia), you can have sex throughout pregnancy.

2, in the process of sex, if pregnant women have strong uterine contractions, abnormal bleeding, severe lower abdominal pain, etc. You should stop seeing a doctor as soon as possible.

Precautions for sexual life during pregnancy 3. Condoms should be worn during sexual intercourse to reduce inflammation, cervical inflammation and early water breakthrough.

Q2。 Can you rub sore cream or stick a salon bath for lumbago?

A: As the fetus grows up day by day, the entire lumbar spine, pelvis and muscle base of the expectant mother will gradually increase the load. Therefore, correct posture and lumbar protection should be given priority in maternal self-care and health care. If you have symptoms of backache, you should go to the doctor first to find out whether it is ligament injury, nerve compression or signs of premature delivery.

As for whether you can apply ointment or Sharon Bass, it is only normal physical discomfort after seeing a doctor, so it is appropriate to use it under the guidance of a doctor.

Question 3: Do I have to sleep on the left?

Answer: pregnant women lie on their left side when sleeping, so as not to oppress the lower abdominal vein, resulting in poor blood return and edema; However, the relative position of the uterus and inferior vena cava of each pregnant woman is different. Therefore, if pregnant women feel uncomfortable lying on the left side, they can change to lying on the right side, or put a pillow between their legs and slightly raise their legs.

Q4: Can I swim or ride an exercise bike when I am pregnant?

A: Doing gymnastics during childbirth can not only help the progress of labor, but also effectively relieve discomfort symptoms such as backache, headache and shoulder pain. But the amount of exercise should be limited, not too tired, and not bad breath. Among them, swimming is a good and safe exercise, because water can reduce gravity and support the body of pregnant women.

Riding an exercise bike is also a good choice, but pay attention to protect the lumbar spine and knees for no more than 30 minutes, with proper rest and hydration in the middle.

Q5: Does the use of microwave oven, mobile phone and computer affect the fetus?

A: Electromagnetic waves emitted by microwave ovens, mobile phones and computers. There is not enough data to prove that the impact on the fetus will affect the health of the embryo and fetus; However, if pregnant women must be exposed to the threat of electromagnetic waves for a long time, appropriate protective measures are still necessary, such as using protective clothing against electromagnetic waves to reduce exposure time and opportunities.

Q6: Can't pregnant women get a haircut or a perm?

A: theoretically, cutting hair will not affect the physiological state, and there will be no problem of fetal malformation. It is rumored that pregnant women use scissors or hammer nails to insinuate fetal defects, which makes pregnant women more worried. If this statement is true, who should be deformed when a pregnant barber cuts the hair of a pregnant woman?

As for perm, the key is whether the perm liquid will be absorbed by pregnant women through the skin, which will affect the health of the fetus. Because perming is not a necessity, pregnant women should try to avoid perming, especially for the first time (from pregnancy 13 weeks).

Q7: Can pregnant women stay up late?

A: a normal work and rest helps to keep the balance of organs and systems, thus providing for the fetus? Set the growth environment. Often staying up late will affect the physical and mental health of pregnant women, which is not conducive to the growth of the fetus.

In addition, during pregnancy, the uterus is getting bigger and bigger, which will gradually oppress the inferior vena cava, making the venous return of the lower body not smooth, which is easy to cause varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Often staying up late and reducing the sleep time of lying flat (preferably lying on the left) will make the above symptoms more serious.

Q8: Do pregnant women have to go to obstetrics and gynecology when they are sick?

A: It is also the responsibility of gynecologists to be fully familiar with the drugs commonly used by individuals and whether they can become prescriptions for pregnant women. When a pregnant woman is sick, besides the diseases that are known or being treated, she can first see the obstetrics and gynecology department for preliminary examination, and then refer to various specialties for follow-up diagnosis and treatment if necessary.

Generally speaking, if pregnant women have a cold, urethritis, cystitis or unexplained lower abdominal pain, they can consult an obstetrician first. If you have asthma or chest tightness, you should find a chest doctor;

Gastroenterologists should be consulted for gastric acid reflux, stomach pain or epigastric pain; Trauma should be seen by a surgeon; See a dermatologist if the skin has a severe rash or itching; Please call a dentist for toothache; Suspected joint dislocation and fracture, please call an orthopedic surgeon.

Q9: Can pregnant women do a SPA or give it to others?

A: S PA and * * * are not absolute taboos for pregnant women. Pay attention to water when doing SPA? And the pressure of the water column, avoid soaking in hot water that exceeds body temperature for a long time for the first pregnancy, and avoid high-pressure water column hitting the abdomen for the third pregnancy.

Pregnant women can do local movements of limbs. As for the big movements of trunk muscles, it is better to avoid them as much as possible! If you are very concerned about whether you have "had a baby"? Maybe it's better not to do SPA and * * * to avoid psychological burden.

Q 10: Can pregnant women go abroad by plane?

A: The airline's restrictions or regulations on pregnant women's flying are not worried that the change of high-altitude air pressure will threaten the health of pregnant women and their fetuses. Because of the third pregnancy, especially the pregnant women who are getting closer and closer to the expected date of delivery, if there are signs of childbirth during the long flight, such as:

Pain, broken water or bleeding, etc. Based on humanitarian standpoint, the plane must be forced to land at the nearest airport for medical treatment, which will cause flight delay and fuel loss (high cost), and may also lead to the trouble of "plane jump incident". Pregnant women who are pregnant for the first time and the second time don't worry too much about going abroad by plane! Please forgive me for the third pregnancy, and then go abroad to play after giving birth!

Q 1 1: Can I apply acne cream to acne?

A: There are four common ingredients in acne cream: azalea acid, antibiotics, benzene peroxide and vitamin A acid. Rhododendron and antibiotics are classified as Grade B in the pregnancy classification of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), indicating that animal tests can't show danger, but there are not enough reports on human trials.

Only after the doctor has evaluated the efficacy and risks should it be used with caution. Benzene peroxide and vitamin A acid belong to Grade C, indicating that animal experiments have teratogenic effects, but they have not been fully studied in human experiments, so they should be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy.

Q 12: Can I ride a motorcycle or drive a car?

A: Generally, pregnant women are always warned to go out less and avoid fetal gas; In fact, this does not mean that pregnant mothers have to stay at home. After all, there are many pregnant mothers in the modern workplace.

If you don't feel unwell, such as premature delivery such as bleeding or abdominal pain, you can still drive a car or ride a motorcycle carefully. Be sure to wear a seat belt when driving, and avoid sitting sideways when riding a motorcycle.

However, at the end of pregnancy, especially near the expected date of delivery, the stomach has obviously bulged, and the risk rate naturally increases when driving or riding a motorcycle with a big stomach. You should avoid driving or riding a motorcycle alone.

Q 13: Can I take a hot spring bath?

A: Soaking in hot springs or taking a bath can really relax tired and tense muscles, promote blood circulation of lower limbs, relieve edema and improve back pain. Pregnant mothers can also soak in hot springs or take a bath. However, hot springs should be avoided as much as possible in the early pregnancy, and if there is discomfort in premature delivery, it should be avoided.

Pay attention to whether the water quality is clean, the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and the soaking time should not be too long. Replenish water in time to avoid dehydration due to excessive sweating. If you feel any discomfort during bathing, such as chest tightness, palpitation or shortness of breath, you must stop immediately to avoid the danger of affecting pregnancy.

Q 14: Can I see a dentist if I am pregnant?

A: It's best to check your teeth before you get pregnant. If dental treatment is needed, it is best to do it before pregnancy. During pregnancy, if your teeth are uncomfortable, you can ask a dentist for temporary pain relief treatment, but if you have gum infection, you still need to ask a dentist for immediate treatment.

The second stage of pregnancy is more suitable for dental treatment, but this period is based on the principle of emergency treatment, and it is best to postpone large-scale major surgery until postpartum.

Q 15: Will hanging clothes lead to miscarriage?

A: During pregnancy, due to the change of body shape and weight, it is more difficult and uncomfortable for pregnant women to do some movements such as raising their arms and tiptoeing, and it is also easier to fall down because of the unstable center of gravity. However, if you just dry clothes carefully and simply in a safe environment, it will not affect pregnancy and cause miscarriage.

Q 16: Does climbing stairs help production?

A: It is reported that the frequency of exercise during pregnancy is related to the progress of the second stage of labor (uterine expansion to fetal delivery), and pregnant women who exercise will shorten the waiting time and delivery time.

Therefore, expectant mothers should do moderate and regular prenatal exercise on weekdays. Walking or climbing stairs is a good choice, which can not only strengthen cardiopulmonary function and physical strength, but also strengthen pelvic muscles, making the pelvis easier to open during production.

Especially at the end of pregnancy, walking and climbing stairs will help the fetal head to drop; However, when climbing stairs, you should pay attention to the center of gravity and try to avoid going down stairs, so as to avoid the burden and injury to the spine and knee joint caused by the increased weight.

Q 17: Pregnant women listen to noisy music for a long time. Will the baby cry very much in the future?

A: Research reports show that pregnant women often listen to melodious and harmonious music, such as rivers and streams, insects and birds singing or classical music. The fetus can feel the rhythm and rhythm of music, and it will also make pregnant women feel relaxed and normal vasoconstriction, which is of course beneficial to the growth of the fetus.

In contrast, noisy high-frequency rhythm music, such as rock music, electronic music, etc., is not liked by the fetus, and it is easy to show discomfort. Especially after seven months of pregnancy, it is the stage of fetal hearing development. Soft music can not only promote fetal hearing development, but also increase fetal comfort.

Q 18: Is vaccination for pregnant women harmful to the fetus?

A: Try not to vaccinate during pregnancy, but during the epidemic of certain diseases, if some vaccines are harmless to the fetus, you can consider injecting. Vaccines are divided into three categories according to their sources:

1. Attenuated live vaccine (German measles, chickenpox, measles, mumps, BCG, oral polio vaccine, etc. ) are attenuated live bacteria or viruses, which will cause fetal infection and vaccination is not recommended.

2. Dead bacteria vaccine (influenza, Japanese encephalitis, rabies vaccine, etc. ) are made of dead bacteria, which are not contagious to the fetus and can be injected.

3, toxoid vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus), made of toxoid secreted by bacteria, will not infect the fetus, can be injected.

Q 19: Does frequent ultrasound scan deform the fetus?

Answer: Ultrasound is a sound wave, there is no crisis of ion radiation, and it will not cause trauma to pregnant women and fetuses. At present, prenatal ultrasound is quite safe and universal, and it is a necessary and routine tool for screening major congenital fetal abnormalities (intestinal obstruction, hydronephrosis, short limbs, rabbit lips, hydrocephalus, spina bifida and congenital heart disease, etc.). ).

Sometimes ultrasound is influenced by various stages and postures of fetal development, and some limitations may require multiple ultrasound tracking. Expectant mothers can rest assured that they are safe.

Q20: Can't lift heavy objects?

A: Generally speaking, if pregnant women move, they will move beds, wardrobes, etc. They will move to the "fetal god" and thus move to the fetal qi, which will make the fetus prone to miscarriage. From the point of view of modern medicine, it is meaningful.

When pregnant women carry heavy objects, it may cause the lower abdomen to exert force and the uterine muscles to contract. If they accidentally hit the abdomen, it may also lead to bleeding or premature detachment of the placenta. Therefore, if there is heavy work such as moving and lifting heavy objects during pregnancy, pregnant women should not do it themselves, and they can find family or friends to do it for them to ensure the safety of the mother and fetus.
