Xiaohua is a pregnant mother. In order to provide more nutrition and development conditions for the fetus, she eats a lot, eats well and gains weight quickly. During the physical examination, the doctor reminded her that she must control her diet and not let her weight gain too high, otherwise it will not only be detrimental to the growth of the fetus, but also easily lead to difficulties in production.
But my mother-in-law didn't agree. My mother-in-law said that the fatter the fetus is now, the higher the IQ will be in the future, and insisted on not letting Xiaohua listen to the doctor. Xiaohua knows that people need to keep a proper weight, and she is full of doubts about her mother-in-law's statement.
So, what is the relationship between the baby's weight at birth and IQ? Is there any scientific basis for this statement? Xiaohua hurried to find information to catch up with relevant knowledge, and understood that it is not that the heavier the fetus, the higher the IQ, but that it is necessary to maintain a reasonable weight, and the IQ may be higher when he grows up.
What should expectant mothers do if they want to have a high IQ in the future after the baby is born?
1, understand the relationship between weight and IQ.
A follow-up survey by British researchers found that the weight of a baby with normal birth weight is directly proportional to its IQ, indicating that the IQ of a baby has a certain relationship with its birth weight.
The expert believes that if the fetus is overweight, there will be overnutrition. Pregnant expectant mothers will become fat after overnutrition, which may cause insufficient oxygen supply to the brain and affect the development of the brain; If the fetus is underweight, it will be malnourished, which will lead to stunting and affect the baby's physique and IQ. And those babies weighing about 3 kilograms have no more or less nutrition, which can just provide reasonable nutritional needs for children's development. Therefore, expectant mothers should have a scientific and reasonable diet in order to provide comprehensive nutrition for the fetus.
2. Don't blindly supplement nutrition and control your weight reasonably.
At present, studies at home and abroad show that genetic factors rank first among the main causes of obesity. Some people say that adult diseases originate from the fetus, and the incomplete development of the fetus will affect and accompany people's life. It can be seen that the development of embryos has a great influence on people and cannot be underestimated. Expectant mothers should pay special attention to the nutritional problems during pregnancy and control their weight reasonably, which will also control the weight of the fetus and reduce the risk of fetal overnutrition. After the baby is born, it is necessary to ensure the normal and reasonable food feeding of the newborn and reduce the possibility of illness when the baby grows up.
3, pay attention to life during pregnancy, often check.
Expectant mothers should carry out various medical examinations on time, strictly follow the doctor's advice, start from controlling pregnant women's diet, maintain healthy and good living habits, and take various measures to take appropriate physical exercise to prevent and reduce the occurrence of diseases during pregnancy.
4. Be predictable and strengthen the cultivation and education of the day after tomorrow.
There are many factors to improve the IQ of babies after birth, which do not depend entirely on their weight and parents' inheritance. Therefore, if you want your child to have a higher IQ, you should not neglect and relax the efforts made the day after tomorrow, and further strengthen the study and training the day after tomorrow.
The weight of the newborn can comprehensively measure the nutrition and growth of the mother during pregnancy. Don't be too fat or too thin. A baby weighing about 3 kg will develop better and smarter physically and intellectually in the future. Remember this best choice.
