Patient's question:
My job is a salesperson, which requires frequent standing, moving goods, and crouching to retrieve items for customers. During the first month of my pregnancy, I experienced two instances of light bleeding. Recently, because of the manager's request to work overtime for over an hour after closing, crouching to clean the floor, I had a small amount of liquid discharge from my vagina—clear and light yellow, not like blood, nor like leukorrhea. The doctor said that since I am only three months pregnant, they cannot make a diagnosis and can only do an ultrasound. Please ask: Was it good for the fetus to have an ultrasound at nine weeks of pregnancy? Should I change my job?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women are very prone to miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy and must pay special attention. They should not lift heavy objects or engage in intense exercise, and should minimize the frequency of going out. Overexertion should be avoided, with plenty of rest and adequate sleep. Sexual activity should also be controlled. When feeling particularly fatigued, bathing should be avoided, and early bed rest is recommended. It is advised to pay close attention to rest in the early stages, avoid fatigue, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and preferably take folic acid.
