Stay healthy during pregnancy

May 24th, 2011 Posted in health Tags: ,

Pregnancy is a beautiful gift for every mother who must care for infants in the unborn fetus to grow a healthy and safe birth. Pregnancy will determine its future growth and development.
To that end, we provide some tips for a healthy pregnancy.

Visit your  Doctors
Check (control) content to the doctor regularly. Regularly check the content is useful to know the condition and fetal growth. Likewise, if there were complaints of pregnancy should be examined to doctors. Until the last months of pregnancy, the control should be more frequently performed.

Eat carefully and intelligently
There are several types of foods that can interfere with your baby. Avoid: viscera that contain a high degree of vitamin A which could lead to birth defects, raw or half cooked eggs that can increase the risk of food poisoning, soft cheese (soft cheese) are very likely to contain bacteria that can cause premature birth, sushi and sashimi.
Consume foods that are not processed. Dr. Weston A. Price, doing research around the world to find the mother who gave birth to a most healthy baby , created the first food that is commonly used by pregnant and lactating women from traditional cultures in the birth of healthy babies
Entering the third trimester, most pregnant women experience back pain and heartburn pain. To reduce it, do not eat before bed. Eat the upright sitting position and slowly (chew on the right). That’s because the food channel has been under pressure from the uterus so that if the food into the digestive tract is still a chunk, the mother will feel crowded.

Avoid foods ‘rubbish’
Eliminate food ‘waste’ from the table. Potato chips, cookies, soda and fast food does not contain nutrients for mother and baby. Although pregnant, make sure the body mass index between 20 and 30. Normal weight gain pregnancy interval of eight to 15 kilograms. Excessive weight during pregnancy are prone to gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and reduce the chances the baby was born normal.

Medicine for pain relief
Do not take the medicine at random! But, it does not mean any ill can not take medicine, you know. Always consult your doctor if you are content to consume certain drugs. Or, let the doctor tell if you are pregnant, so she will write a prescription medicine that is safe for pregnant women.

To the dentist
Cavities and other dental problems and gum can be a trigger of preeclampsia and preterm birth. If you have to cancel planning to dentist in the first trimester, the time-now you must do!
Avoid cigarette smoke,
try not to be passive smokers. If your husband a smoker, remember not to smoke near you. And if you are a smoker, it’s better to stop the habit of smoking. And smoke cigarettes will make your little birth weight less, easily hurt, slow growth, but can cause miscarriages and death of the unborn.

Stocking
Do not restrict circulation in the legs during pregnancy, because it can cause swelling. So, do not use socks that wrap the legs tightly.
We recommend that you use socks from soft material to wear when you feel the need to maintain the beauty and warmth of the air-conditioned room. Varicose veins can be fixed using special stockings varicose veins.

Sleep Position
There has been no research about safe sleeping positions for pregnant women, but experts recommend that after 16 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women should sleep with a tilted position to the left side, because this position gives advantage for your baby to get the blood flow and nutrients up into the placenta because of the large vein (inferior vena cava) in the back right side of the spine that return blood from the lower body to the heart. Also to help the kidneys to get rid of waste products and fluids from the body of the mother to reduce the swelling of the feet, legs and hands
