To have a smart, healthy child, there are many things to do before and after marriage, the main ones are as follows.
1. Preferred spouse: Under possible conditions, you should choose a spouse with matching blood type, coordinated personality, comparable knowledge and appropriate age. In order to reduce the occurrence of genetic diseases, special attention should be paid to avoid marrying direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations. In daily life, we often meet cousins who are married with good feelings, and the babies born in this way have a high risk of congenital hereditary diseases. In addition, from a medical point of view, the best age for marriage should be 25-27 years old for men and 23-25 years old for women, because the best age for marriage and the best age for childbirth are connected, once married means the possibility of childbirth. According to statistics, newlyweds who do not use contraception, about 80% of women will conceive within a year after marriage. Getting married too early or too late also means having children too early or too late. Both are bad for having a smart, healthy child.
2, receive premarital examination: so that men and women have an opportunity to understand each other’s health status, to know what diseases they have suffered from, whether they have a history of genetic diseases, etc., to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases to their offspring. At the same time, it can also be examined for sex education, post-marital fertility arrangements, contraceptive methods guidance. This is conducive to the couple’s harmony after marriage, the establishment of a beautiful family, and the health of offspring.
3, receive a pre-conception examination: If the couple has one of the following conditions, please be sure to go for a pre-conception examination. Firstly, if the prospective doulas are over thirty years old, then it is best to undergo a preconception checkup. Second, if the prospective doula has never been vaccinated against hepatitis B, it is a good idea to have a preconception test to see if there are antibodies to hepatitis B in the body. Third, if the expectant doula has a history of miscarriage or a history of stillbirths or stillbirths, it is best to have a preconception test. Fourth, if one of the parents has a history of genetic disorders, such as family genetic disorders or infectious diseases, it is best to undergo a preconception test. Fifth, if the prospective parents are exposed to radioactive materials in the course of their work or if the environment is harmful, it is best to undergo a preconception test. Sixth, if one of the parents has bad habits, such as smoking, alcoholism, or a history of drug abuse, then a preconception test should be performed. Seventh, if the family has ever kept small animals, then it is best to carry out a pre-conception check, especially the prospective milkmaid needs to do a decolonization test.
4, choose the best age of childbirth: a large number of studies at home and abroad show that the period of vitality of young people of both sexes is 25-29 years old. It is generally thought that this is the best age for childbirth. This is consistent with our government’s advocacy of late marriage and late childbirth. Early childbirth, the female body organs, especially the reproductive organs and pelvis are still in the developmental stage, not yet fully mature, the extra burden of pregnancy and childbirth, the health of both mother and child are not conducive to difficult delivery or cause some complications and sequelae; childbirth too late, the age of more than 35 years old, pregnancy, childbirth process will occur some complications, such as weak contractions, prolonged labor, abnormal birth canal, postpartum hemorrhage The age of 35 years and above is associated with complications during pregnancy and childbirth, such as weak contractions, prolonged labor, abnormal delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, etc. In addition, after the age of 35, ovarian function begins to decline, which can easily cause miscarriage, stillbirth and abnormal fetus. At the same time, it is clinically believed that the best age for men to have children is between 25 and 35 years old, because most men at this time are physically active and energetic, and their health is better in all aspects, and their sperm quality and activity is also the best. As men age, their sperm vitality decreases and the incidence of congenital diseases in the fetus caused by chromosomal mutations in the sperm increases. It is a consensus in the academic community that sperm vitality gradually decreases with the age of men.
5, to prevent conception during the onset of the disease: one of the male or female during the onset of the disease, such as before recovery from acute infectious diseases, poor function of important organs or in the active period should be suspended conception, especially the female pregnancy will aggravate the disease, the disease may increase the risk of pregnancy and the baby born with congenital hereditary diseases is great. In addition, complications of childbirth can be detrimental to fetal growth and development. Also, before the disease is cured, it is inevitable that drugs such as sedatives, hormones and some antibiotics and sulfonamides are needed to affect fetal development and the possibility of teratogenicity. The health of parents is the basis of the next generation of eugenics, only under the premise of the health of both couples, can we consider the issue of fertility.
6, receive genetic counseling and understand the health status of the fetus: genetic counseling is the doctor to answer and guide the genetic disease patients and their families about genetic questions. Based on the information provided by the patient and the results of the examination, the doctor will make a scientific analysis, give answers to the causes of the disease, the mode of inheritance, treatment and prevention, and make a judgment and advice on the possibility of the disease in their offspring. Therefore, anyone with a family history of genetic diseases, couples who have been born with deformed children and those who are pregnant after the age of 35 should receive genetic counseling to prevent the birth of bad offspring.
7, do a good job in pregnancy health care: to achieve the optimal maternal care “clothing should be wide, taste should be light, walk must be slow, living should be safe”. Maintain physical and mental health, pay attention to life conditioning, not only to enable pregnant women themselves through the maternity period, but also to create a good environment for the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, during pregnancy, we should strengthen nutrition, combine work and rest, pay attention to personal hygiene, keep a happy mood, and should abstain from sexual life. In addition, we must also remember the “four taboos of pregnancy”: prevent infection; strictly prohibit smoking and alcohol; avoid exposure to harmful substances; do not abuse drugs.
Regular prenatal checkups: Through prenatal checkups, medical personnel can grasp the pregnancy situation of pregnant women and conduct health care and eugenics consultation activities. In prenatal checkups, medical personnel monitor the condition of the fetus with conventional and up-to-date examination methods in order to decide on the future mode of delivery and whether the pregnancy should be terminated, to avoid difficult deliveries or to make deformed children, demented children and those with serious
babies with congenital defects are born. Regular prenatal checkups usually begin after the 6th week of menopause to first determine if the pregnancy is real. The second check-up is in the 12th week of pregnancy and then once a month thereafter. After the 30th week of pregnancy, check-ups are performed twice a month, and after the 36th week, check-ups should be performed once a week. If any abnormalities are found, you should undergo prenatal checkups at the time specified by your doctor.
Ten taboos
1, avoid not to conduct medical examination before pregnancy. Pre-conception physical examination is the passport to eugenics, but also the protection of the couple’s life in harmony and happiness. Pregnancy test is different from the general physical examination, in the pregnancy test, you can check whether the couple has a problem that affects eugenics, eugenics, prevention before it happens.
2, avoid having children with disease. If you conceive and give birth to a child without being cured, it is likely to have a negative impact on the health of the child. Women suffering from heart disease, hepatitis, tuberculosis, nephritis and gynecological diseases, do not get pregnant. This time pregnancy is not good for both mother and child, should be cured first and then pregnant.
3, avoid honeymoon pregnancy. Conception is the first step in the birth of a child, when the physical condition of the couple directly determines the fitness of the child later. During the honeymoon, the couple is generally fatigued, and sexual life is not very coordinated, this is obviously not the best time to get pregnant. In addition, the couple should avoid pregnancy after alcohol, travel or excessive fatigue.
4, avoid the abuse of drugs during pregnancy. Women abuse drugs during conception, will directly affect the growth and development of the fetus in the body, and sometimes cause premature birth, miscarriage or stillbirth and other phenomena, so once the pregnancy must be carefully examined or give up the pregnancy.
5, avoid infection during pregnancy virus. Virus infection not only affects the health of the mother, but also poses a certain risk to the fetus, such as the typical syphilis serum test and the AIDS virus. AIDS needs no introduction, and I believe that every prospective parent does not want an innocent child to be born. Syphilis can affect fetal development and cause gynecological diseases in the mother, affecting the fertilization of the egg, if not treated is likely to cause future infertility.
6, avoid the sexual life during pregnancy inordinate. The woman can not be the same as the completion of the task, pregnant even if the performance, after all, eggs and sperm have a growth cycle, so frequent sex breeding fetus quality will not be very high, and it is easy to miscarriage or premature birth.
7, avoid excessive fatigue or great joy and grief during pregnancy. The poor rest, mental depression, will affect the combination of eggs and sperm, excessive fatigue will make the fetal brain oxygen supply is insufficient, affecting fetal development.
8, avoid smoking a lot during pregnancy, alcohol abuse. Pregnant women smoking will make the fetus development is delayed, weight loss, easy to premature birth or congenital heart disease, but also affect the child’s intelligence. Pregnant women alcohol abuse, the fetus will get fetal alcoholism syndrome, causing fetal malformations.
9, avoid exposure to harmful, toxic substances during pregnancy. Pregnant women too much exposure to chemical pesticides, lead, X-rays, etc. will make the fetus malformations, may also cause the fetus to suffer from leukemia, malignant tumors and other diseases.
10, avoid playing cats, dogs and other pets during pregnancy. Otherwise, it is possible for pregnant women to be infected with various germs, such as toxoplasma infection bacteria, and directly infect the fetus, so that the fetus malformation.
