Pregnancy and childbirth: PCT

After pregnancy, the expectant mother’s body will undergo various changes, There are good and bad. There may be all kinds of discomfort: some people will suffer from insomnia, some people will be full of strange smell, and some people will dislike the obedient husband horizontally and vertically. In fact, as long as these discomfort will not seriously affect your work or life, there is no need to worry too much.

For women, Pregnancy is a big test of physical health, I coined an English phrase PCT to describe this state. PCT stands for Pregnancy Challenge Test, It means that pregnancy is a challenge and a big test to a woman’s physical condition. If hypertension occurs during this challenge, Then the probability of suffering from chronic hypertension will be higher in their 40s and 50s, If you have gestational diabetes, Then in their 40s and 50s, they have a great chance of getting type II diabetes. And so on. If everything is normal throughout the pregnancy, Well, congratulations, In the future, your chances of getting chronic diseases will be lower. For women, In addition to helping us predict future diseases and health, There are many other additional benefits, Such as improving the overall function of the body. In the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe during the Cold War, In order to improve the performance of female athletes in major competitions, The coach will deliberately arrange for them to get pregnant, And then have an abortion, After proper restorative training, Many people will improve their athletic performance obviously, Of course, no one has done this inhumane practice. After a woman becomes pregnant, All organs and systems of the whole body will undergo many favorable changes under the action of estrogen and progesterone, a bit like the [running-in] process of a new car. As we all know, the condition of a new car is not in the best state, and the best condition will only be reached after a certain mileage of [running-in]. For women, pregnancy is a good [running-in].
