How much do you know about the embarrassment faced by elderly pregnant women? In life, pregnancy and childbirth are things that many women have to experience. We often say that getting pregnant early, because older women will be more dangerous. Here I bring you the embarrassment that older pregnant women have to face. Let's have a look.
The embarrassment that older pregnant women have to face 1 1. What embarrassment may older pregnant women face?
1, health embarrassment
Tip: Prenatal examination should be treated carefully, especially for elderly women. 20 weeks before pregnancy, you must go to a professional obstetrics department for prenatal screening, that is, fetal karyotype analysis. Chorionic biopsy can be done at 1 1 ~ 13 weeks, and amniocentesis can be done at 15 ~ 20 weeks. This can help elderly women to find high-risk factors in time, such as chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases.
We should also properly regard ourselves as "giant pandas". Some pregnant women take leave only after giving birth, but elderly women should not go to work after 32 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, pregnant women's heart, lungs and other important organs must work harder, and their bodies should rest as much as possible. It is best to be hospitalized at 38 weeks of pregnancy.
2. The embarrassment of three generations
Tip: This is not necessarily a bad thing. In China, due to the rapid development of society and the increasingly serious generation gap in the past 20 years, grandparents' thinking and education methods are often far from the world their children will face now and in the future. At the same time, the core of many children's education problems now is precisely because parents don't have enough time and energy to directly participate in education, communicate directly with children and play with them. The role of parents is irreplaceable by others. I have to take on more obligations to take care of children, which seems to be out of helplessness. In fact, as long as I attach importance to it and do it well, it will be a "silver lining behind the dark clouds."
3. Self-embarrassment
Tip: In fact, when other people's personal world is occupied by children, it is time for you to be young, energetic and pursue your dreams. You can be regarded as two delays: you fight at the most capital stage and have no regrets; How can others envy you when you give birth to a child at the most qualified stage as a mother?
Second, what do elderly expectant mothers need to pay special attention to in their daily lives?
1, lift your feet
Sit down and lift your feet when you are free. You can turn the drawer or storage box upside down and use it as a footstool.
Step 2 relax and exercise
Practicing simple neck, shoulder, pelvis and foot movements while riding a bike or at work can relieve tension and promote blood circulation.
3, squat posture practice
If you have to bend over, try to take a squat posture to exercise your legs and practice the delivery posture.
Step 4 eat healthily
Take some nutritious snacks with you. Although you have symptoms of nausea, you occasionally want to eat. Graham crackers or a glass of milk can not only fill the stomach, but also relieve the symptoms of nausea.
Step 5 slow down the pace of life
Don't push yourself too hard, adopt a looser standard for housework and order it in order of importance. Because the fetus and your health are more important than a spotless home.
Step 6 control your weight
Older expectant mothers tend to gain weight during pregnancy. At this time, you need to control your weight and avoid eating foods with high sugar content, which is the chief culprit of obesity.
Embarrassment faced by elderly pregnant women II. Precautions during pregnancy.
1. Prepregnancy physical examination.
Both husband and wife should have a physical examination before pregnancy, especially for women who are ready to get pregnant. In addition to routine examinations such as heart, liver and kidney, we should also focus on the reproductive system.
2. Oral folic acid before pregnancy 1 month.
Taking folic acid can avoid nervous system development diseases. If folic acid is not taken in time before pregnancy, it should be supplemented after pregnancy until 12 weeks of pregnancy.
3. Taboo
Older pregnant women are more likely to gain weight during pregnancy. If they gain too much weight, they will be prone to diabetes, and the baby in their bellies will grow too big, which will bring difficulties to delivery. Therefore, older expectant mothers need to avoid foods with high sugar content to control their weight. Generally, the weight gain of pregnant women at 40 weeks of pregnancy should not exceed 12.5 kg, of which the fetus accounts for about 33.5 kg.
4. Conduct Down's screening
Down's screening should be performed at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy. By taking the blood of pregnant women and detecting the quantity and concentration of various substances contained in the blood, we can judge some diseases that the fetus may have.
5, villi and amniotic fluid examination.
About 1 1 week of pregnancy, use a biopsy needle to enter the uterine cavity through the cervix or abdominal wall to reach the placenta, and take out a little villi for examination. You can also take amniotic fluid and collect exfoliated embryonic cells by needle puncture under anesthesia around 16 weeks. Normal young pregnant women don't need this test. Studies have shown that the older the pregnant woman, the higher the incidence of congenital stupidity and deformity. Because with the growth of women's age, the ovaries are gradually aging and degenerating, the naturally produced eggs will also age, and the probability of chromosomal abnormalities will increase. This test can directly obtain the number of chromosomes, and according to the test results, we can know whether the fetus is abnormal. There is a 0.5% chance that this test will lead to miscarriage.
6, alpha-fetoprotein detection.
Fetal protein detection is generally carried out at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy. This is a non-hazardous blood test. By measuring the level of alpha-fetoprotein in blood, we can judge whether the fetus has neurological defects, Down syndrome, kidney and liver diseases and so on.
7. Strengthen the self-monitoring of blood sugar, blood pressure and other indicators.
Older women are prone to pregnancy complicated with heart disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and pregnancy-induced diabetes. Because the blood volume of pregnant women is significantly higher than that of non-pregnant women, the heart burden is aggravated, and some elderly pregnant women with heart disease may have to terminate their pregnancy early because they can't stand it.
8. It is more difficult for older women to give birth naturally, so they need to be prepared in advance.
Older pregnant women's pelvis is hard, ligaments and soft birth canal tissues are less elastic, and the uterine contractility is correspondingly weakened, which may easily lead to prolonged labor, even dystocia, fetal birth injury and asphyxia, so more than 90% of older pregnant women will choose cesarean section.
