Patient's question:
What should be paid attention to when pregnant? How should facial care be done? What skincare products should be used? Can hand cream be applied? Is it necessary to use an enema in the early days of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you should:1. Maintain a regular routine. This isn’t just about having a regular schedule but also about following your body’s natural clock. Pregnant women are prone to fatigue, so it’s important to have a regular routine and get adequate sleep—8 to 9 hours per day. However, avoid oversleeping, as this could lead to difficult labor. Pregnant women’s sleeping positions also matter.
2. Engage in appropriate exercise.
You should stay active, as exercise promotes blood circulation for both the mother and the fetus, which is beneficial for fetal development and a smooth delivery. Avoid overexertion. If you experience signs of miscarriage, rest in bed as appropriate.
3. Eat a balanced diet.
Due to the needs of fetal development, a pregnant woman’s diet should focus on nutritious and easily digestible foods. Consume more protein-rich foods, vegetables, and fruits. Have a varied diet and avoid pickiness to ensure the intake of all essential nutrients. Keep meals light—during pregnancy, reduce salt and alkaline foods to prevent edema and excessive abdominal bloating. Avoid cold, raw, and spicy foods, such as cold drinks, ginger, scallions, garlic, and chili peppers, to prevent cold-induced stagnation in the uterus, which could affect fetal development, or disturb the blood sea, leading to miscarriage. Alcohol can cause miscarriage and fetal death. Smoking can lead to fetal deformities or miscarriage—during pregnancy, you should absolutely quit smoking and avoid alcohol. (Prenatal nutrition)
4. Avoid risky actions and movements.
For example, sexual taboos during pregnancy. Avoid sexual activity during the first three months and after the seventh month of pregnancy to prevent miscarriage and infection.
5. Prevent diseases.
Especially infectious diseases, infections, poisoning, and accidental injuries.
Hygiene and cleanliness
