According to statistics, the incidence of premature delivery is still quite high in recent years, especially in some economically developed countries and regions, which has not declined because of the progress of medical technology, but has an upward trend. There are many factors leading to premature delivery. Besides the pregnant mother's own physical factors, there are many external factors that also play an important role. So pregnant mothers must prevent premature delivery during pregnancy.
What's the difference between premature and full-term infants?
Term baby
A fetus after 37 weeks of pregnancy can be called? Organic? Also known as? Term baby. The basic organs of the fetus born in this period have basically matured, weighing about 2500 ~ 4000 grams and being 47-50 cm tall. Although our expected date of delivery is calculated according to 40 weeks, even if the baby is born at 37 weeks, it has the ability of spontaneous breathing, strong body immunity and strong invasion of external bacteria.
immature
Premature infants refer to newborns born at 28 ~ 37 weeks. The baby born at this stage weighs about 2000 grams, and the earlier the birth time, the lighter the weight will be. Because the organs and systems of the body are not mature in advance, the resistance will be relatively poor, and it is easy to be infected with diseases, such as lung diseases and intracranial hemorrhage.
Premature delivery is one of the common causes of neonatal death and illness. Usually, premature babies will be put into a constant temperature incubator by the hospital after birth to improve their chances of survival, but they should be carefully cared for after discharge, so special attention should be paid to the care of premature babies to escort their healthy growth and accompany them around. However, the resistance of premature infants is generally worse than that of full-term infants when they are 1-2 years old, and it will be almost the same as they grow up.
How to effectively avoid premature delivery?
There are many factors that lead to premature delivery, most of which are caused by the pregnant mother's own factors. For example, the pregnant mother is an elderly woman or suffers from certain diseases such as pregnancy poisoning, heart disease and kidney disease. Pregnant women with multiple births are also more likely to give birth prematurely. However, premature delivery is not completely untraceable, and careful treatment by pregnant mothers can still prevent premature delivery to some extent.
1. Prenatal examination should be carried out in time during pregnancy, so as to find some potential risk factors in time. Moreover, you can also understand the nutritional status of pregnant mothers and be alert to insufficient nutrition in the body.
2. During pregnancy, to ensure the sufficiency of nutrients and minerals in the body, nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin E are indispensable. Linoleic acid contained in deep-sea fish oil can regulate immune function and prevent premature delivery. Pregnant mothers can listen to their physical condition. The doctor's advice is to eat some deep-sea fish oil or eat more fish.
3. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, I can occasionally feel contractions. Generally speaking, this kind of false contraction is irregular and rare. However, if the number of irregular contractions increases or accompanied by pain, and gradually turns into a more regular situation, then it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
It is best not to travel long distances in the third trimester, so as to avoid bumps on the road and physical fatigue. Don't go to crowded places to avoid touching your abdomen. When you go out, you must pay attention to whether the road is slippery or not, whether there are obstacles, and walk steadily step by step to avoid wrestling. Try not to stand or squat for long.
5. Try to avoid sexual life in the third trimester, because the abdomen is relatively large, and if it is not properly controlled, it may collide with the abdomen. And the same room is easy to stimulate, causing uterine contraction.
