Pregnancy is the most unforgettable and amazing period in the life of every woman. During this time, there are many changes, both physiological and psychological.

How to prepare for pregnancy and carry a healthy baby? Almost every expectant mother asks herself this question when carrying her first child.

If you follow the following 5 rules, you will be able to carry and give birth to a strong, healthy baby:

1. Proper nutrition. Each trimester of pregnancy has its own characteristics. Our parents' advice to “eat for two” is absolutely wrong. Food should be as healthy as possible, rich in vitamins and minerals. For example, cottage cheese, fresh vegetables, fruits must be in the diet of the expectant mother.
2. Forget about your bad habits. Smoking and alcohol negatively affects the development of the fetus and the course of the pregnancy itself.
3. Only positive emotions. Avoid stressful situations, do not listen to other people's negative experiences. The installation should be as follows: "I will be fine, I will give birth to a healthy, beautiful baby." You can see your baby photos, more often imagine what your baby will be like. The child feels the mood of the mother, so during pregnancy you need to spend as much time as possible with your loved one, listen to pleasant music, watch funny films or even cartoons. Be sure to talk to your baby, read fairy tales, he hears and understands everything. You can do something with your own hands. For example, knit a hat, embroider a shirt, sew a diaper. This is not only a pleasant experience, but will also be a memory for a lifetime.
4. Fresh air and activity. Pregnancy is not a disease, you should not lie on your bed all day. Exercising certain types of muscles is very beneficial and even necessary during labor. The expectant mother can sign up for yoga to learn how to breathe and relax. Swimming is very useful during pregnancy. In the last month of pregnancy, you can go for a back massage to relieve stress and relieve lower back pain.
5. Take medications only on the recommendation of a doctor. First, you can try folk remedies, herbs, but take it very carefully, in consultation with your doctor.

Pregnancy should not cause negative feelings, anxiety and fear. Everything that worries you need to be voiced by the doctor, you can go for a consultation with a psychotherapist.

He will help to overcome all your phobias and fears, restore psychological balance, comfort, positive attitude, and will advise you on how to carry a healthy baby.

Pediatrician Evgeny Olegovich Komarovsky, well-known to all mothers, conducted a webinar on his website and answered the questions that most concern pregnant women. "Letidor" has selected 14 of the most striking statements for you.

About vitamins

In fact, the question of taking vitamins is very much debated all over the world - there are doctors who are for them and who are against them. I am not at all sure that a huge number of pregnant women have the opportunity to eat well and varied. A huge problem is the availability of quality products that are quality produced and well stored. A huge problem is that there are problems with the state of health - toxicosis, vomiting, I want it, I don’t want it.

Well, after all, where to get vitamins? For example, vitamin D, if you live in the Arctic Circle, and you do not have access to quality fish.

My position is to take vitamins.

I remember very well how in the Soviet years my wife was pregnant twice, and the only drug in the entire Soviet Union was gendevit, it was a drug for pregnant women, and we drank it. My daughters-in-law drank vitamins and for me this is a completely common situation, I strongly recommend all my patients who are planning a pregnancy or who are already pregnant to take vitamins.

About lifestyle

In general, I am more afraid than anything else when pregnant women change their way of life. Because physiologically, pregnancy should not affect your lifestyle in any way.

Imagine you are a member of the pack and you feel sick. So - the flock will stop roaming? So, the way of life physiologically did not affect the existence of the society in which she was and was obliged to live according to the laws of the pack, otherwise you will be left alone and wild animals will eat you.

When, having learned about pregnancy, you drastically change your lifestyle, then for the body it is definitely a stressful situation, it must adapt not only to pregnancy, which is by and large natural for it, but also to adapt to changing external conditions.

Therefore, in fact, it is very important that pregnancy does not become an excuse to change your lifestyle and a reason to think about pregnancy all the time. I am sure that when you fly somewhere to rest, you think about the rest, about the beloved who is next to you, about what you will see there, you have a lot of new emotions. So, new emotions that allow you not to think about pregnancy is normal. It is very good. It is clear that if you are a master of sports in parachuting or rock climbing, well, let's change your physical activity a little, but in general, live normally.

Take this not as the beginning of your maternal feat, but as a path to the holiday.

About alcohol

If I tell you that a small dose is possible, then you will occasionally do it once a day and a small dose for you will be 200 g, and you will tell that Komarovsky allowed you to drink. Therefore, I will tell you right away that no doctor in his right mind will tell you what he allows you. I understand that if you can drink 50 g of dry wine on your birthday or on New Year's, then nothing will happen to you, of course. But I don't want you to do that. In short, I categorically forbid you!

Preparing for pregnancy

The optimal period between pregnancies is three years. This does not mean that if you become pregnant five months after giving birth, then something threatens you. We are talking only about the minimum consequences for the mother and about the chances of giving birth to the most healthy baby.

Children do not start, but are planned by normal adults, the option from three to five years old is gorgeous.

I don't think there are any particular restrictions, although at the planning stage it would be very desirable if you can leave at a certain time to relax, play sports, get some fresh air, swim. I really like the sea in this situation. And at the end of this vacation, having improved your health, without alcohol, without nicotine, in the fresh air, with a bunch of vitamin D, it's natural to make a baby, it's just wonderful!

But once again: a person is such a creature whose functioning of all internal organs depends on the cerebral cortex. Therefore, if you have a lot of all sorts of thoughts, then you are in great danger. And vice versa: when there is no brain and intelligence, there is no stress, then everything always turns out very well.

It is good if you can control yourself, if you are away from stress - you smile, relax. And in general, the best way to give birth to a healthy child is by mutual understanding with a partner.

About travel

I love traveling during pregnancy. Pregnancy shouldn't change your life. She must improve it. A pregnant woman should understand what quality health insurance is. I'm not a very big supporter of a pregnant woman going to some track in Nepal, for example.

But a resort hotel with access to medical care with quality food and water is just great!

Travel! I sincerely envy you!

About snacks

I believe you can have a snack every two hours if you feel like it. You must eat according to your appetite: there is a desire to eat every two hours - to your health. I understand when the uterus enlarges in the last trimester of pregnancy, when it already presses the stomach and it is clear that you do not eat much, ate a little, and after two hours you will want it again, this is normal. It doesn't matter.

It's important to know that you don't owe anyone anything. It is your right to have a snack or not, it does not affect the child.

About the whooping cough vaccine

In all post-Soviet countries there is a sharp increase in the incidence of whooping cough and a sharp increase in the number of unvaccinated people.

Unfortunately, we lost in the battle with anti-vaccines. This is definitely perfect. The most dangerous, deadly disease for a child in the first months of life is whooping cough.

This is deadly, because if a child older than 6 months has whooping cough occurs in the form of severe coughing attacks, then in children of the first half of the year it proceeds in the form of respiratory arrest. Therefore, if babies become infected in the first two months after birth, their lives are at risk, regardless of the level of the health care system. The risk for the child to die is very high.

It would seem that let's get vaccinated at the hospital, but this does not work, because the child's blood contains a very small level of antibodies inherited from the mother. These antibodies do not provide protection, but they are sufficient to neutralize the effect of the vaccine.

That is, you can vaccinate against whooping cough starting from 2 months, which is done all over the world.

However, in the first two months, a child can contract whooping cough from surrounding adults. Adults must be vaccinated every 10 years. Very often, when a child is sick, it turns out that he contracted the cough from a brother, mother or father. Therefore, the whole world has now adopted a position called the cocoon strategy. The essence of the strategy is that the child and everyone who will be in contact with the newborn in the first 2-3 months of life must be vaccinated. This is fundamentally important. And it's important to vaccinate it on mom, because the easiest way to get whooping cough is from mom.

Vaccinating during pregnancy is correct, regardless of when you were vaccinated before.

It is not necessary to conduct experiments on your body during pregnancy or without it.

Ventilate the room, rinse the nose with saline, drink liters of water. A lot of liquid and do not force yourself to eat, clean air - everything. This is how ARVI goes, the world has not come up with another.

About gadgets - is it harmful for a pregnant woman

Genocide of some sort! Phones, Wi-Fi and laptops have no direct impact on the health of the mother and the fetus. They are dangerous only in the sense that you, pregnant women, need to think about physical activity more than ever.

If you are sitting in front of your laptop instead of walking, I would like to take it away from you. That's all. There are no other hazards - use it for health.

There is some kind of maternity hospital where the head physician is a king who can afford to take a laptop or phone from a woman. This cannot be tolerated, this is humiliation of human dignity. This is unacceptable in the 21st century.

They will ban you from using toilet paper so soon.

You have to walk in a medical facility with your head held high, no matter how hard it is. You should not allow anyone in a white coat to humiliate yourself.

Cat and pregnancy: how to avoid allergies

In order not to be allergic to a cat, you need to introduce your immune system to the cat as early as possible. Therefore, if a cat lives in your house, you communicate with him, your immune system is familiar with the cat, it will share protection with the fetus. A newborn baby will communicate with the cat, his immune system will form next to the cat, and the cat will be normal for her.

So calm down, leave the cat alone. You are responsible for those you have tamed and those you have given birth to. Let them be together, it's okay, nothing really threatens you.

About physical education

The best exercise during pregnancy is walking and having sex with your beloved husband.

About saunas and baths

We have people who are engaged in genuine extremism in the sauna, who, after the bath, dive into the ice hole with their heads. You should understand that the air in the sauna is very dry, especially in winter during the heating season, when the air is already dry all around, you do not use a humidifier, walk a little, and even a sauna is not very good for you. If you have a sense of proportion, there is no risk of injury, if after the sauna you will not bang your head on the ice, then for God's sake.

Pregnancy is considered difficult if there are various pathologies, poor physical condition and well-being. It usually ends up being severe.

Causes of miscarriage

One of the problems of modern obstetrics is miscarriage. This term is understood as spontaneous termination of pregnancy for up to 37 weeks. If it happened up to 22 weeks, the termination is considered a miscarriage, if later - premature birth. Doctors will save a child born after 22 weeks, but even here the chances are small, and after leaving such a baby, various developmental pathologies due to prematurity are not excluded. Signs are pain in the abdomen and lower back, profuse discharge with blood.

One of the reasons for miscarriage is considered a hormonal disorder. The body does not produce enough female hormones needed to maintain a pregnancy, or it produces too many male hormones to prevent pregnancy. The cause is also often sexually transmitted diseases - chlamydia, herpes, trichomoniasis, mycoplasmosis and other common infections. They can cause uterine contractions and cross the placenta to the fetus. Diseases such as flu, rubella, and even colds can cause irreparable harm to pregnancy - cause fetal abnormalities or spontaneous abortion.

There are many reasons for miscarriage - isthmic-cervical insufficiency (the cervix cannot cope with the increasing load on it and opens up), various malformations of the uterus, tumors, advanced adhesions, diseases of internal organs, chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, AIDS), genetic abnormalities , bad habits, unfavorable environmental conditions.

How to carry

For a successful pregnancy, it is necessary to follow the instructions of the attending obstetrician-gynecologist throughout the entire period. After all, only he knows the features of the reproductive health of a particular woman and will be able to prescribe adequate treatment, if necessary.

Before the onset of pregnancy, both spouses need to be examined to identify possible diseases - to pass tests, to check for the presence of sexually transmitted infections, since it will no longer be possible to treat them during pregnancy. Conduct a study of hormonal levels and exclude malformations of the organs of the female reproductive system.

If you notice an increase in pressure and swelling in your legs or arms, you need to see a doctor for a urine test for the presence of protein in it. Its presence will speak of such a pathological condition as gestosis - a violation of the kidneys and blood vessels. With such symptoms, hospitalization and treatment are indicated.

A pregnant woman should be especially careful with her body hygiene, as the accumulation of dirt and sweat can cause the reproduction of pathogenic flora that is harmful to health. Take a warm, not hot shower instead of a bath, which can trigger preterm labor. Baths and saunas should also be avoided.

The clothes of the expectant mother should be loose-fitting, not restraining movements and made of natural fabrics. Try not to wear belts and stockings, shoes with heels. It is necessary to arrange a comfortable sleeping place, an eight-hour night's sleep, and, if possible, a daytime. Daily walks in the fresh air will also be beneficial.

A pregnant woman should eat small portions, fresh foods containing a maximum of nutrients and a minimum of fat. Being overweight can further complicate pregnancy. Smoking and alcoholic beverages are categorically contraindicated. Light exercise is useful to maintain the tone of the body.

And for any dubious symptoms and poor health, you should immediately consult a doctor. It is better to once again conduct a survey that will not reveal any problems than, relying on chance, to brush aside the problems. After all, not only the life and health of the mother is at stake, but also her future baby.

Is it possible to carry and give birth to a child at no extra cost? (economical option)

1. Planning a pregnancy

Analyzes, X-rays, specialist consultations - all this can be done free of charge in your district clinic, and for both potential parents. True, ultrasound is more often prescribed for free according to indications, that is, if something hurts you, and you will have to wait six months for your turn. And most often they are sent to a commercial clinic or diagnostic center to a self-supporting department.

Tests for urogenital infections are taken free of charge at the KVD in the direction of a urologist or gynecologist. You can take tests for free at the antenatal clinic.

Analysis for RV infections, HIV, hepatitis for two - 1100x2 \u003d 2200 rubles.

Vaccinations against rubella and hepatitis - 400 rubles

Ultrasound of the pelvic organs - 2500 RUB

Dentist - 1000-3000 RUB

2. Pregnancy

When conception has occurred, and you find out that you are pregnant, the first thing you simply must do is register with a antenatal clinic. Moreover, it is desirable to do this before 12 weeks of pregnancy. In this case, you will receive additional, albeit small, financial assistance from the state - a lump sum.

If the pregnancy goes well, then you will visit your gynecologist at the antenatal clinic every 3 weeks.

In total, she will have to pass about 14 tests and undergo an ultrasound examination 4 times - at the 16th, 24th, 30th and 39th weeks of pregnancy. You have the right to do all these procedures completely free of charge. But there are situations when the device has broken down or the required specialist is on vacation. Then you will be offered commercial laboratories. You can check the quality of research yourself in a private clinic if you do not fully trust free medicine. But this is your own choice.

In case of complications, for example, toxicosis, the woman is sent to the hospital for conservation free of charge. There you don't have to pay a dime. But this is an ordinary multi-seat ward with appropriate conditions. The quality of medical care is at the level of a regular hospital Food too.

Tea for pregnant women (2 packs of 150 rubles) - 300 rubles.

4. "Dowry" for the baby and clothes for the mother

You can save a lot on a crib and clothes for a newborn if you use used ones. Friends, whose children have already grown up, usually willingly give out beautiful, almost new things. Moreover, after repeated washings, the fabric becomes softer and more pleasant for the delicate skin of the child. Therefore, one should not neglect such gifts. But, of course, you can't do without new overalls, caps and blouses.

But it is better to buy a stroller: it must be reliable.

You will also have to buy hygiene supplies. Choose clothes according to your taste, but it's better to update your wardrobe. You are unlikely to fit into old jeans in the seventh month, and walking in the same oversized sweater and grandmother's skirt means forgetting about yourself as a woman. Meanwhile, it is pregnancy that allows a woman to open up in a new way, to show her femininity.

Now about childbirth. Childbirth will be taken completely free of charge according to the birth certificate, which will be issued at the antenatal clinic. This document is a guarantee of free medical care. Of course, the conditions will be the most common - the same multi-bed ward, a common delivery room, one midwife for several women in labor, etc. But the professionalism, as well as the warmth and attention of the attendants does not depend on money, but on people. Therefore, even in the case of a free birth, you may well be satisfied. There will be only the comfort to which you are accustomed at home, and the constant presence of your husband or loved one.

As a rule, if everything is going well and the child is born healthy, women tend to thank the doctors, midwife and nannies. Therefore, a certain amount must be planned in the case of a completely free delivery (from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles).

In total, it turns out about 6500 rubles. However, this figure is also conditional, because you can exclude something, and add something, relatives will give you something, with whom you can agree in advance. It is impossible to refuse only analyzes, medicines and vitamins. In addition, it does not include the cost of improved nutrition, because a pregnant woman needs a lot of fruit, fresh (better market) cottage cheese, etc. All this is at special costs.

Unfortunately, miscarriage is quite common today. The weakened health of women, a disdainful attitude towards their well-being, an accelerated rhythm of life, a deplorable environmental situation - all this greatly affects the statistics of miscarriages.

Losing a child, even at an early stage, is a severe stress, and it can be extremely difficult for both mother and father to survive. Many people have to seek help from a psychologist in order to accept a new situation, and find the strength to live on, and, most importantly, try to conceive and bear a child again.

Pregnancy after miscarriage requires increased attention. After all, a miscarriage is not only psychological but also physiological stress.

A miscarriage is the termination of pregnancy under the influence of the condition of the fetus and the mother's body, without medical intervention. The reasons for a miscarriage are very different. More about miscarriage

The consequences of a miscarriage are much more important now. No matter how long the pregnancy is terminated, your body is waiting for a real hormonal storm. The hormonal background changes even more dramatically than at the beginning of pregnancy, which cannot but affect the state of the body, the work of the ovaries and other organs.

In addition, if scraping had to be done after a miscarriage, damage to the mucous membrane occurs. The injured endometrium cannot always accept a new fertilized egg, and even more so, it is not always able to hold it.

A miscarriage can be accompanied by profuse bleeding. Blood loss is also an unpleasant situation that requires long-term rehabilitation.

When can you give birth?

Is it possible to get pregnant after a miscarriage? If you put the question from the side of physiology, then, of course, you can. And literally in the first month. The fact is that the day when the miscarriage occurred is also the beginning of the next cycle. Accordingly, in 2-3 weeks the next ovulation will occur - this is the answer to a simple question, when you can get pregnant after a miscarriage. Another thing, is it worth the hurry?

It seems to many couples that the sooner they give birth to a child, the faster they will cope with the consequences of this situation. Actually this is not true. Of course, while carrying a new child, you will not remember the tragedy that has already happened. However, everything has its own nuances.

Pregnancy immediately after a miscarriage, and specifically after 3 months, may well be successful. A pregnancy one month after an early miscarriage is more likely to end in a miscarriage again. In general, the trend is this: the less time has passed since the miscarriage, the greater the risk of a recurrence of the situation.

When can a pregnancy be planned after a miscarriage? It is believed that the female body takes about a year to fully recover. At this time, it is worth postponing new attempts to conceive a child. And what to do during this year? Believe me, there will be enough work.

Post-miscarriage examinations

First of all, it is necessary to undergo several serious examinations, the purpose of which is to determine the cause of what happened. In particular, doctors will definitely send an embryo for research, in order to determine whether it was initially viable, whether it had pathologies and developmental abnormalities. If possible, the reason for the deviations is also determined.

Only after that will the doctors take up the mother. First of all, they will check it for various infections and complications after them. Untreated infections often cause miscarriage. If any are found, they will need to be treated.

The next stage is analysis for sex hormones ... Often the cause of miscarriage is an excess of certain hormones. If in your case the reason was precisely this, then they will work with a hormonal background.

They will definitely hold and Ultrasound ... The ovaries, appendages, fallopian tubes, the uterus itself and its inner mucous layer are carefully examined. Bends of the uterus, the presence of partitions in it, endometrial insufficiency - all this could provoke a miscarriage

What should you give up?

In the process of planning a pregnancy after a miscarriage, it is necessary to abandon all bad habits ... And if in any other case it is still more a recommendation, then in this case it is a requirement. Smoking and alcohol weakens eggs and sperm, which means less pregnancy and less viable embryos.

It is necessary to minimize and taking medication ... Talk to your doctor and decide which medications can be canceled, which ones - to reduce the dosage. Preparing for pregnancy after a miscarriage is a serious and long-term business. Do not neglect the little things.

What to do to carry a baby after a miscarriage?

How to maintain pregnancy after miscarriage? She needs to be treated very carefully. No physical stress, stress, infections ... Do not disregard the doctor's recommendations. And in no case hide from him any features of your well-being.

Very important eat properly ... The diet should be balanced with the required amount of calories and nutrients. In some cases, it makes sense to take extra vitamins. Including folic acid. Also, if iron deficiency is detected based on the results of a blood test, it is necessary to receive it additionally in the form of tablets or capsules.

Pregnancy after a spontaneous miscarriage is, of course, possible. But first you have to decide when it will happen. There are only two criteria: your physical readiness for a new pregnancy, and, of course, moral and psychological. Leave no room for fear. With the right preparation, the chances of bearing a healthy baby are no less than that of any other woman.
