Lesson 51 – Do’s And Don’ts When You’re Pregnant
Predictions and facts ...
Pregnant women are probably the "best" subject for advice. Plus the help of search engines, newspapers, social networks, websites
The things I have listed below are only small corners, not enough to meet the warehouse of 8967 instructions for pregnant mothers, but at least these are clearly proven.
Multivitamin tablets
Myth: a tonic helps a tall, healthy child. Imported medicine is the best, drink as much as possible!
Truth:
The content of multivitamins for pregnant and lactating mothers is calculated based on daily vitamin and mineral needs.
Except, and, so far, there is really no formula that is said to be optimal.
Women who have a balanced diet, the source of nutrition in the daily food may also be sufficient, may not need to take supplements.
There is no miraculous drug to help the fetus be smart, tall, healthy just by taking each pill every day. And don't ask, "Give me the best one!" because .
there's no best kind yet.Remember: pregnant women need it every day (for both supplements and daily food)
400-800 micrograms of folic acid (used until the first 3 months of pregnancy). Particularly for mothers who have a history of pregnancy with neural tube defects, the recommended dose is up to 4000mg (4g / day).
30mg iron (or screening for anemia during pregnancy). If you eat enough, are screened for anemia. If there is no anemia, taking the iron tablets is not beneficial.
600IU vitamin D, 1000mg Calcium. Calcium also has the ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure disorders in pregnancy (not to drink for babies to grow), you should ensure the recommended amount of Calcium.
Most multivitamins now contain around 200-300mg in each.Multivitamin is almost harmless. Women who are unsure about a balanced diet and adequate nutrition should take supplements.
Eating and gaining weight
Speculation: should eat a lot, eat twice, eat a lot of nutrients, food is expensive.
Truth:
Should eat a variety, quality is better than eating a lot. Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, cereals, and dairy products.
The daily calorie increase is only about 300-450 calories / day (a jar of yogurt is about 250-300 calories) in the last 6 months of pregnancy. The first 3 months may eat less due to morning sickness and sometimes lose weight.
Weight gain in the 6 months after pregnancy depends on weight before pregnancy, calculated based on BMI
BMI <18.5: you need to increase about 13-18kg BMI 18,5-24,9: you need to gain about 11-16 kg BMI 25-29.9: you need to increase about 7-11kg BMI ≥30: you need to increase 5-9 kg Eat fish Speculation: do not eat fish or shrimp, squid because it is harmful to the fetus. Truth: Very good, especially types containing DHA as much as salmon, mackerel. Eat fish 2-3 times / week. If local food sources are not available, DHA tablets should be supplemented. Do not eat raw fish dishes, raw meat, unpasteurized milk. The coffee Speculation: drinking coffee makes the baby black.
Truth:
The benefits - the disadvantages of and recommend influence levels are still up for debate. It is very difficult to control the amount of caffeine you actually consume (in Vietnam), according to the latest reading that is <300mg / day (previously <200mg / day). You need to read the composition of the drinks because caffeine is not only in coffee but also in carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks ... You should minimize the amount of coffee consumed because: coffee makes you sleepless, nervous because of increased heart rate, stimulates you to urinate more often. Your baby's skin is hereditary, not what you drank while pregnant. Limiting exercise Prediction: Pregnant mothers need a lot of rest, limit exercise, sleep a lot for healthy children.
Truth:
Limiting exercise, lying in bed absolutely does not bring any benefits to the mother and fetus. Lying motionless does not improve pregnancy outcome, even in the case of a miscarriage or premature birth, but it does increase some of the risk of adverse effects.
Pregnant women are encouraged to exercise regularly, 20-30 minutes a day, 4-5 times / week.
Speculation: Spousal relationships should not be used during pregnancy because they cause fetal harm.
The truth: pregnant mothers are still able to maintain a sexual life except in some cases such as vaginal bleeding, placenta praevia, a history of premature rupture of membranes. In fact, there is no evidence to suggest that intercourse causes premature birth or amniotic rupture. There is only some adverse evidence such as bleeding in the case of placenta praevia.
The truth: the left advice is actually grounded, due to less venous compression, better blood flow to the heart.
Physiological theory is so, but the recommendation is still "lie on your side", do not try to lie on your left side and stay up all night. Mother can sleep, healthy child.Preventing or treating insect bites (especially mosquitoes)
You can use drugs currently in circulation, as it is not related to birth defects. Some recommendations do not use Deet-containing (N-diethyl-3-methylbanzamide) but if you are at high risk. . Dịch vụ: Thiết kế website, quảng cáo google, đăng ký website bộ công thương uy tín
