The "Checkup" section introduces the basic checkups needed after pregnancy and the various genetic diseases that should be tested for. The "Mother's Body" section is rich in content, covering early pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness and vaginal bleeding, postpartum depression, high blood pressure, urinary issues, skin itching, abnormalities in amniotic fluid and placenta, with detailed explanations. It also suggests individual checkup methods and treatment options. The "Infection" section selects infectious diseases that pregnant women may contract, which can affect the fetus, such as German measles, chickenpox, and syphilis that can cause congenital deformities in the fetus, as well as acute hepatitis, urinary tract infections, and vaginal infections common during pregnancy. It also introduces mastitis, which often occurs postpartum. The "Delivery" section includes the choice of delivery methods, how to stabilize the pregnancy if preterm labor occurs, situations requiring induction, the timing of painless delivery and postoperative pain relief, and how to handle postpartum bleeding and other physiological disturbances during the postpartum period. The "Lifestyle" section covers themes that are essential in daily life, such as the pregnant woman's concerns about nutrition supplementation and medication effects, how to choose appropriate prenatal exercises, adjustments to sexual activity during pregnancy, comparisons of various postpartum contraception methods and their usage timing, and how to restore the body postpartum. After thoroughly reading this book, it's as if you've completed the essential prenatal checkup course in a "Mom's Classroom." Not only can you fully understand the physical conditions of the mother and fetus during pregnancy, but you can also feel more at ease naturally. At the same time, it avoids the awkwardness that may arise between prenatal care staff and pregnant women due to misunderstandings.
