Patient's question:
In the early stages of pregnancy, at first, you don't know if you're pregnant, right? You only find out after waiting more than 7.8 days to get tested. But what if you have sex during this time? What should I do if I have sex?There's also a small issue in the early stages of pregnancy. Since you only know you're pregnant after the due time, and you need to use a computer for work in the meantime, won't there be radiation? Will this have a significant impact? I spend a lot of time on the computer every day.
What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Sexual activity does not have a significant impact. The first three months of abstinence from sexual activity are to prevent miscarriage. After that, you should reduce computer exposure. The dietary situation is as follows:(1) Early pregnancy: During this period, pregnant women often experience "early pregnancy symptoms," such as reduced appetite and vomiting. At this stage, fetal development is relatively slow, so the demand for nutrients like calories, protein, and inorganic salts does not increase significantly, remaining largely the same as before pregnancy. The primary focus should be on improving appetite by selecting light, refreshing, and hydrating foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, to regulate digestive function. If food preferences change, there is no need to avoid them. Choose foods rich in B vitamins, such as animal organs and nuts, to alleviate vomiting. At the same time, try to consume a certain amount of staple foods to prevent weight loss.
(2) Middle pregnancy: During this period, morning sickness has disappeared, appetite is better, fetal growth and development are rapid, and the pregnant woman's body shape also begins to change. This stage requires sufficient calories, protein, lipids, inorganic salts, and vitamins. If there is a lack of calories, protein, and lipids, it may affect the development of fetal brain tissue. The fetus needs a large amount of calcium during this period, and the demand for iron also increases significantly. High-quality protein sources such as beans and bean products, animal organs, lean meat, dairy products, fish, and eggs should be emphasized. To supplement vitamins, choose animal organs, lean meat, fresh vegetables, and fruits.
(3) Late pregnancy: During this period, the fetus continues to develop and mature, growing rapidly. If the pregnant woman's activity level decreases significantly, the energy supply can be adjusted accordingly or maintained at the level of middle pregnancy. The supply of protein should be appropriately increased. To meet
