Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Please ask if the 98-day maternity leave includes weekends.Doctor's answer:
Including weekends, there are 98 days in total! Generally, it ranges from half a month before childbirth to two and a half months after childbirth. For those who marry and give birth later, it can extend to four months. Female employees are entitled to at least 90 days of maternity leave.Pregnant women require more zinc than the general population. This is because, in addition to their own needs for zinc, they must also provide zinc for the developing fetus. If pregnant women do not pay attention to supplementing their diet, they are very likely to become deficient. Therefore, pregnant women should consume more zinc-rich foods such as pork liver, pork kidneys, lean meat from meat; seafood like fish, nori, oysters, and clams; legume foods such as soybeans, mung beans, and broad beans; and hard-shelled nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, and chestnuts, all of which can be chosen for consumption.
