I’m pregnant, do you have any reliable “experiences from people who have been there” to share?

I know this question. As someone who has just given birth, I would like to share my feelings with pregnant mothers.

1. Physical aspects

1. Pay close attention to your body changes. Don’t be afraid of others saying that you have become squeamish throughout pregnancy, especially in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Do housework. Don't be too tired when working or working. This is a critical period for your baby's development. You can download apps like BabyTree to pay attention to the changes in your baby and your body at different stages to relieve anxiety.

2. You also need to do exercises during pregnancy. The more basic ones are like walking outdoors for about an hour every day, and the advanced ones are like pregnancy yoga and doing some stretching. But you must receive professional guidance course training. Everyone's body constitution is different. You cannot blindly increase exercise intensity, nor can you not exercise at all.

2. Nutritional aspects

In fact, there is no need to take supplements during pregnancy. Nutrition and eating habits do not have to follow the recipes given by the hospital, but the general principle must be nutritional balance. I am more accustomed to arranging recipes every weekend and buying and cooking according to the recipes. The staple food is mainly miscellaneous grains and whole grains, with a lighter taste. Try to eat smaller and more frequent meals at each meal. If you eat snacks, try to eat less fruit in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. to avoid the risk of gestational diabetes later in life. 3. Financial aspect

During pregnancy, there is a high probability that the pregnant mother’s work will be affected, and her work intensity or promotion will be affected. The entire prenatal check-up process and the postpartum confinement period require a lot of expenses. The family’s maternity fund needs to be prepared in advance with the family members. Taking our Qinhuangdao as an example, the entire prenatal check-up process is about 10,000, the delivery is 10,000, if you find a nanny for confinement, it is 10,000, the confinement center is less than 30,000, and the postpartum mother's body repair is less than 10,000. The baby's stem cells and cord blood can be retained within 30,000 yuan, and the items used by the baby cost about 10,000 yuan. Therefore, these large expenses that may be encountered must be prepared in advance, discussed with the family, and planned.

4. Production

1. Choose a hospital as early as possible to register. After you find out you are pregnant, you should register in a nearby hospital as soon as possible. If you register too late, you will not be able to register in this hospital. The hospital gave birth. There are about 20 check-ups during the entire pregnancy. If you are too far away, it will be very difficult during the pregnancy check-up.

2. During the period of waiting for delivery in the hospital, choose an independent ward if you can. If possible, try to have two family members accompany you. During the four or five days of hospitalization, the mother and newborn will undergo many examinations. In the independent ward, mothers, newborns and family members can have a good rest.

3. Don’t stick to any particular delivery method. Natural delivery and caesarean section each have their own pains. Painless injections and analgesic pumps are provided, so you can avoid suffering. During my caesarean section, the injection was painless, and then I went to the ward and was hooked up to an analgesic pump for three days. It really didn't hurt at all during the whole process, and I almost cried in pain when I took off the pain pump.

5. Division of childcare

1. During the confinement period, no matter whether it is vaginal or caesarean, do not be in a hurry to take care of your child. Taking good care of your body during this period is most important. It is best to discuss with your family members in advance whether to have your mother-in-law take care of you, hire a nanny, or go to a confinement center. The mother is only responsible for breastfeeding and recovering her body. If breast milk is not sufficient, you can also feed with milk powder.

2. If you want your mother-in-law to take care of your confinement, you must come two or three months in advance. During the process of getting along, you can get familiar with your lifestyle, eating habits, etc. Some of what the old man said during confinement may not always be correct. Confinement must be carried out scientifically.

For example, you can use air conditioning, wash your hair and take a bath during confinement.

Pregnancy and childbirth have a great impact on girls’ psychology, body and life. With the arrival of the baby, we need to be exposed to and learn many things, and it seems that we have to learn all over again. Just like a university. But we should not force ourselves to be all-powerful mothers. We should involve our families appropriately. Especially the partner's sense of participation is very important.
