It's getting colder and colder. What four points should pregnant mothers keep in mind for the sake of fetal health? First, expectant mothers should pay attention to hydrating and eat more fruits and vegetables that clear away heat and reduce fire. Because after the weather turns cold, expectant mothers will use air conditioners or heaters to keep warm. However, the use of these heating devices will lead to water loss in the body, and in severe cases, it will also lead to symptoms such as excessive internal heat and constipation, which is also very unfavorable to the health of the fetus. So expectant mothers must drink more water. Never wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Drink more than 1000ml of water every day, and it is best to drink 200ml of water every two or three hours, so as to ensure that the body will not lose water. In addition, expectant mothers should also eat some fruits such as oranges and grapefruit. The daily intake of vegetables should not be less than 400g to avoid getting angry, and the dietary fiber in vegetables and fruits can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and effectively relieve constipation.
Second, expectant mothers should pay attention to regularly opening windows for air exchange to keep the indoor air fresh. Because the colder the weather, the tighter the doors and windows are closed, the expectant mother will feel hypoxia when she stays in a closed space for a long time, and the fetus will also face the problem of hypoxia because of the lack of oxygen supply from the mother. Therefore, expectant mothers must regularly open doors and windows for ventilation. However, expectant mothers must keep warm during the window opening, such as wearing gloves, hats, scarves and masks. And wear warm clothes, pants and shoes to prevent catching a cold. Because of the weak constitution during pregnancy, it is easy to catch a cold and other diseases, so you can't take medicine casually. Once you get sick, you need to go through a long recovery period, which is very unfavorable to your own health and the health of your fetus.
Third, expectant mothers should pay attention to a reasonable bath, because after the weather cools down, expectant mothers will raise the water temperature to take a bath. Although it is comfortable to wash, it is easy to cause hypoxia, and too high water temperature will destroy the protective film on the skin surface. In addition to controlling the water temperature, expectant mothers should also pay attention to the bathing time. They shouldn't wash for too long. It is best not to use shower gel. After taking a bath, they should apply lotion. Because the skin is particularly dry in autumn and winter, and some treasure mothers have stretch marks, these measures can achieve the purpose of protecting the skin, otherwise it will easily lead to itchy skin and even affect the sleep quality of expectant mothers, and the fetus will not get a good rest.
Fourth, expectant mothers should pay attention to moderate exercise, because after the weather gets cold, expectant mothers are reluctant to go out, on the one hand, because they are afraid of the cold, on the other hand, because they wear too many clothes and are inconvenient to move, so the amount of activities of expectant mothers will be significantly reduced. However, moderate exercise can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion and absorption of food. Exercise can relax mood, relieve stress, improve sleep quality and control weight reasonably, which is very beneficial to both mother and fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers can exercise moderately outdoors when the weather is suitable and do yoga at home when the weather is bad. Of course, expectant mothers should pay attention to keep warm when going out to prevent slipping. It is best to be accompanied by family. They must wear loose and light clothes and non-slip shoes so as not to hurt themselves and the fetus.
Conclusion Expectant mothers must pay attention to replenish water in winter, often open the window for ventilation, take reasonable measures to take a bath, and insist on proper exercise, which is more conducive to their own and their fetuses' health and a smooth winter.
