Fetal and pregnancy health care refers to a series of health care measures taken to promote the good development of fetal intelligence and physique and protect the physical and mental health of pregnant women and fetuses from conception to delivery.
This is exactly the core concept of tire maintenance and tire protection emphasized by the ancients.
The Ming Dynasty physician Wan Quan once said in "Women's Secret Science": ".After a woman is conceived, she should eat a light diet, avoid irritating foods, keep the indoor air fresh, and nourish the fetus with a peaceful atmosphere, so that the fetus will develop well and will not be prone to disease after birth.
In the mother's womb, the fetus depends on the mother's viscera and blood to grow and develop.
Therefore, the health status of a pregnant woman has a direct impact on the development of the fetus, its endowment, and its health and longevity throughout its life.
Fetal and maternal health care can start from these aspects:
1. Prenatal educationSit upright
Pregnant women need to pay attention to the cultivation of ideology and morality, and cultivate noble sentiments and beautiful hearts during pregnancy. They need to be open-minded, optimistic and open-minded, eliminate selfish distractions, and not overthink the gains and losses. Words and deeds should be dignified and generous, so that they can sit upright, stand upright, walk upright, look at them upright, and speak upright.
In this way, the fetus can be pure and help to form a good temperament and character traits.
Pleasant and nurturing
Ye's Bamboo Forest Female Department believes that "tranquility is the foundation of prenatal education".
This requires pregnant women to remain calm when encountering problems, so that their hearts are calm, their thoughts are as calm as water, they avoid being hurt by the seven emotions, abandon loneliness, sorrow and troubles, and always maintain a stable and optimistic mood.
In this way, the pregnant woman's qi and blood will be smooth, and the fetal element will be stabilized, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the fetus.
Near the beautiful avoid**
The Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases mentions that pregnant women should "look more at the white and flawless jade and watch the beautiful peacocks", that is, they should have more contact with beautiful things. Doing so allows the delicate qi to enter the womb, which is conducive to the development of the fetus. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid exposure to bad stimuli such as obscenity, viciousness, ugliness, etc., so as not to cause adverse effects on the fetus.
Timely fetal training
1. Auditory training.
In the second trimester, the development of the middle ear of the fetus is completed, while the development of the vestibular system is before the birth of the baby. Therefore, we should start by training the fetus's sense of hearing.
From the 13th week of pregnancy, pregnant women can continue to talk to the fetus, read poems, sing songs or play audio tapes for the fetus, and let the fetus listen to melodious music or songs.
This not only arouses your child's attention, but also promotes the development of his auditory sense.
2. Stroking action training Pregnant women lie on the bed, put their hands on their abdomen, and gently press the fetus with their fingers, and the fetus will squirm.
This method is better performed at bedtime, especially at the end of pregnancy, but it is contraindicated in pregnant women with early contractions.
This method stimulates the fetus to move and allows the baby to stand and walk earlier than in an untrained baby.
2. Dietary adjustmentIn the first trimester (from conception to 3 months of pregnancy), fetal growth is slow, coupled with pregnancy reactions, and the diet should be small and preferred. Pregnant women can choose foods that suit their tastes and appetizers with a slightly sour taste, preferably fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid fishy and spicy products to avoid aggravating the evil.
In the second trimester (4 to 7 months of pregnancy), the growth of the fetus accelerates, and pregnant women should consume foods rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Rice, beans, meat, fish and eggs are rich in protein. Calcium is found in egg yolks, milk, shrimp skins, animal bones and green leafy vegetables, and phosphorus is found in soybeans, chicken and mutton. Eating these foods can build muscles and bones, benefit the marrow and nourish the brain, and help the development of the fetus.
In the middle and late stages (8 to 10 months of pregnancy), fetal growth and development is particularly rapid, and it is a critical moment for brain development, and there are many nutrients to be stored.
3. Be cautiousAfter a woman becomes pregnant, her qi and blood gather in Chong Ren to raise the fetus, and her external function is low, and she is prone to be attacked by external evils and causes diseases. Evil spirits force the fetus, which can cause various fetal diseases and even miscarriages.
Therefore, it is necessary to live cautiously, arrange work and rest time scientifically, get up early and go to bed early, and work, study, Xi and live regularly.
Fourth, moderate work and restIn the first trimester, due to the poor stomach of pregnancy reaction, it should be "not too tired" and "not too tired" (Xu Zhicai's "Month-by-Month Fetal Feeding Method"). Do only do general housework, do not lift or lift weights. Evening operation, heavy physical labor are not suitable, and long-distance bumps are not suitable, should often go out for a walk outdoors, breathe fresh air, and receive sunlight.
In the second trimester of pregnancy, you should not be too comfortable, you should engage in certain physical labor and moderate exercise, such as tai chi, qigong, travel, etc., which is conducive to digestion and sleep, but you should avoid horseback riding, cycling, swimming, running and other strenuous exercises.
In the later stage of pregnancy, it should be mainly easy, but it is not advisable to lie down for a long time, and you can take a walk often, do appropriate activities, and give birth from time to time.
Pregnant women should get enough sleep, 8 hours of sleep every night, and in the third trimester of pregnancy, they should rest in bed for 1 hour at noon every day. A few weeks before labor, you should increase the sleep time and sleep on your left side.
Fifth, pay attention to hygiene and clothingPregnant women should bathe frequently, keep them clean, and change their clothes and pants frequently.
Dress should be loose and comfortable, and avoid tightening the chest and waist, so as not to affect the flow of qi and blood and the development of the fetus.
At the same time, the shoes worn by pregnant women should be of the right size, the soles should be thick and not too hard, and high heels should be avoided.
6. Abstain from sexual intercourse
The Theory of Infant and Child Integration: "In ancient times, after a woman became pregnant, she had to live in a side room and sleep in a separate room with her husband in order to control herself.
This suggests that pregnant women should keep their minds clean and avoid sexual activity.
Especially in the first trimester of pregnancy and the first trimester of pregnancy, it is important to abstain from sexual intercourse.
If sexual intercourse is not controlled in the first trimester, it will lead to internal movement and leakage of yin qi, which may lead to adverse consequences such as fetal toxicity, fetal leakage, and miscarriage.
In the third trimester, if you have sex too often, it may lead to problems such as half-birth, difficult birth, etc., and even if you are lucky not to have an abortion, the child may be dull and prone to illness and early death.
7. Prudent use of medicationWhen a pregnant woman becomes ill, it should be done early**, but it must be done under the guidance of a doctor.
* When you are sick, you should follow the principle of "the mother is safe when you are sick, and the fetus is not dead", not only to avoid being restrained by pregnancy drug contraindications, but also to act cautiously.
Some drugs in Western medicine have a greater impact on the fetus, such as diazepam, aspirin, tetracycline, anti-epileptic drugs, etc.
In general, these drugs should be avoided. If it must be used, it should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
