I have recorded the key experiences of the whole pregnancy, not only to leave a memory for the family, but also to provide some reference for expectant mothers who are pregnant for the first time, hoping to gain confidence and security from it.
I want to tell you that you can smoothly and safely produce a healthy baby without trembling about your eating habits and living habits, without being carefully taken care of, without running around to support relationships, without spending too much money.
Little waxberry is my nickname for my baby.
On that afternoon in summer, when I was sitting on the toilet and looking at the two red lines, I was awakened by the doorbell of Shunfeng Express. It was Dongkui Myrica Rubra ordered by my lover Zhang, who was away on business, who arrived.
Well, this is the origin of the name.
Ancestral diet should be avoided!
Like many parents who believe in food supplement, my mother immediately called and preached for an hour since she learned about pregnancy, telling me that what should eat more and what should never eat, such as Job’s tears, longan and crabs.
Seeing that I sent a photo of eating hamburgers in my circle of friends, she was saddened and immediately called to educate.
She also often shares pseudoscientific articles such as health preservation and traditional Chinese medicine in her family WeChat group.
At first, I adopted the policy of [turning a deaf ear]. After all, it is too boring to argue with stubborn parents, and I don’t want to change their what. It is most important to be myself. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
But on one occasion, she actually said that she would send me traditional Chinese medicine to prevent miscarriage and old hens. I couldn’t bear it and wouldn’t tolerate it.
Stand firm and use both carrot and stick.
Whether she understands and accepts it or not, I solemnly expressed my position: I know the importance of pregnancy, and I will take diet and rest more seriously than before. I know what kind of way is better to be responsible for my body. I should learn to judge those false information. I should not be asked to do it without verification or basis. It is not good for my body but also affects my mood.
In the future, whenever she sends a fake article, I will reply [fake information, reported by clicking], and then find out the correct article to share again.
Although my mother felt uncomfortable and even wronged, I must let her realize slowly that although I have no experience, it does not mean ignorance. We must believe in scientific knowledge.
Some people’s parents or parents-in-law are more stubborn and strong, and even say, “Aren’t you all raised like this?” [I’m not for hello yet].
I can only say that I stand firm, unite with my partner’s support, and use carrot and stick methods to make my position clear. This is a difficult beginning, and I don’t want to wait until [confinement] makes the situation worse.
Is it how that should be avoided during pregnancy?
Doctor Clove has already introduced the matters needing attention in diet very clearly. See the article < < Don’t be fooled again, this is the scientific diet taboo during pregnancy > >.
I just need to pay attention to forbidding sashimi, raw eggs (including salad dressing), alcohol, tobacco and fruit juice. In addition, I need to drink more water and peel fruits. The rest is the same as normal diet.
To tell the truth, I have eaten crabs, crayfish, snails and barbecues several times.
If you don’t pay attention and accidentally violate the above principles, expectant mothers don’t need to panic, as long as they don’t go too far and can improve in time.
These are also related to [eating]
1. Eat at home or outside?
Compared with others, Mr. Zhang and I have a great advantage: we are both teleworkers in the Internet industry and usually work from home.
Therefore, we make almost every meal at home and seldom eat takeout food, which can well control nutrition and hygiene.
Mothers-to-be who do not have such conditions can get up earlier and make a simple, healthy lunch with less salt and oil.
2. How many meals a day?
Although I also have nausea and nausea, I have never vomited. Try to avoid food that makes me uncomfortable and eat less and more.
After I became pregnant, I had to start eating breakfast, because I was too hungry at 7 o’clock every day… sometimes, I woke up hungry at 5 o’clock in the morning to look for food.
In order to relieve hunger healthily, the family can always keep some quick-frozen coarse grain steamed buns.
3. Eat some coarse grains to prevent constipation.
By the way, I will deliberately let myself eat more crude fiber food, because I am a little constipated.
It is said that defecation will be more difficult in the third trimester of pregnancy, so I plan to form the physiological habit of regular defecation from the beginning.
4. Record and manage weight every day
I bought a weight meter and measured the records every morning on an empty stomach.
It is suggested that expectant mothers should record their weight every day from the first day after knowing that they are pregnant, and there is no need to gain weight during early pregnancy (the first three months).
Exercise during pregnancy: Do whatever you want!
Before I knew I was pregnant, I went to play badminton every week and jumped very well. At the same time, I learned to swim, and I was very tired after two hours.
After knowing that you are pregnant, everything is as usual except badminton.
Every day I buy vegetables for breakfast, climb back and forth the stairs of 6 floors, and drag Mr Zhang for a walk at night. Follow the fitness software, attend simple classes, and complete half an hour of anaerobic training on the yoga mat.
In short, there is no discomfort.
Some expectant mothers may have concerns about their physical condition. Dr. Clove cannot exercise during what during pregnancy? What exercises should I do during pregnancy? Remember these situations! > > In that article, there are some situations that are not suitable for exercise. It is very important to know one’s own situation and sports taboos.
I have searched some online tutorials on pregnant women’s sports, such as yoga, and there are many classes offline. However, I think that sports vary from person to person.
If you don’t know how to choose, swimming, climbing the stairs and walking are the best exercises for pregnant women in early pregnancy.
I later stipulated to myself that I should stick to 10,000 steps every day. The motivation was: I must give birth smoothly!
