Patient's question:
Doctor:I'm almost six months pregnant. What should I pay attention to? Especially now the weather is quite cold, it's easy to catch a cold. How can I prevent it?
When is it better to go for a check-up?
Doctor's answer:
Hello:1. Healthy pregnant women can continue their regular work and labor, but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor.
2. Pregnant women should have a good living environment, with clean and well-ventilated rooms. The temperature is best between 20—22°C.
3. Fats are particularly harmful to pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, so they should avoid cooking at this time.
4. Bathe and change clothes frequently. Generally, pregnant women should not bathe for more than 15 minutes at a time, and it is recommended to take a shower. The water temperature should not be too high, as excessively high water temperatures can harm the baby's brain cells.
5. Pregnant women should not smoke, and they should also avoid living in smoky environments, as this can affect fetal development and lead to miscarriage or malformations.
6. Pregnant women should maintain a good mood, and their husbands should pay special attention to caring for and comforting their wives. Avoid emotional excitement, as an unpleasant mood can have a negative impact on the baby's brain development.
7. Do not watch TV for long periods or up close. Pregnant women should keep a distance of at least 2 meters from the screen and avoid watching thrilling TV programs.
8. Ensure 8—10 hours of sleep per day in addition to normal work.
9. Use common skincare products, avoid applying lipstick or nail polish, and do not perm or dye hair.
10. Try to avoid crowded public places as much as possible, as these are places where influenza and other infectious diseases can spread.
