Pregnant mom, did you get on the scale today? Tell me, how much did you gain? I know you’re embarrassed to say, but you must have gained a lot of weight. You may think it’s too much trouble for the obstetrician to ask you to get on the scale and talk about your weight every time we meet. Isn’t pregnancy a time to eat, drink, sleep and save meat, and how come you’re not allowed to grow meat? I regret to tell you that during pregnancy you just can’t grow more meat. During pregnancy, you should pay attention to control weight gain, if you let the weight crazy, it will bring the baby and yourself can be avoided all kinds of trouble. Long fetus not long meat Pregnancy is to grow meat, but this meat grow in the baby body can, grow in you have to think about it. Now with the upgrading of the social and economic level, people’s living conditions improve, obesity like a virus spread in the crowd, threatening people’s health and quality of life. Pregnant mothers, guided by the traditional concepts of “safe pregnancy” and “eating two servings for one person”, are gradually developing into a high-risk group for obesity. Pregnancy” as a reason to eat more and less movement to indulge in growing meat pregnant mothers, often bring themselves many unnecessary trouble and danger. Clinical screening of two pregnancy comorbidities, gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension, have a certain relationship with obesity. Pregnant mothers with gestational diabetes are prone to hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis, and their babies are prone to grow into giant babies, increasing the chances of cesarean section and the risk of maternal and infant mortality. And successful delivery of the baby, grow up with a variety of metabolic syndrome (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, etc.) the incidence of higher than ordinary people. Hyperemesis gravidarum is also one of the high-risk pregnancy conditions, which may be manifested as hypertension, edema, proteinuria, or eclampsia, placenta previa, renal damage, visual impairment, hemorrhage, etc., leading to preterm delivery or early termination of pregnancy, which is an important cause of maternal and neonatal mortality. This shows that if you don’t control your weight properly and get hyperemesis gravidarum or hyperemesis gravidarum, it will affect the life and health of two people. Get on the scale and weigh yourself against the table below to see if you are at the right weight and how you should grow to be normal. Here the normal weight and overweight, obese range is the World Health Organization’s global standards, and our normal weight and overweight, obese standards are 18.5-23.9, 24-27.9, greater than 28, our country has not been for the time being for the development of our body weight standards for pregnancy weight growth guidance standards. Children big mother suffer Mom grow meat to control, children grow meat can not be too arbitrary. The normal range of the baby’s birth weight is 2500-4000g (5-8 pounds), 5 pounds or less belongs to the low birth weight child, more than 8 pounds is a huge child. The elders of the family may be looking forward to giving birth to a “big fat kid”, but you should know that “big fat kid” may not be able to give birth smoothly. Natural childbirth is the process of the mother’s birth canal and the baby’s body to adapt to each other, if the baby is too large mother’s pelvis is not large enough, then it may need a cesarean section (huge baby is one of the clinical indications for cesarean section), the birth of their own may be difficult to risk labor. Even if the mother’s pelvis is acceptable, your birth canal may be “bloomed” at the end of the labor process, and the baby is too big, which may cause soft birth canal laceration (vaginal laceration, perineal laceration affecting post-partum recovery), anal sphincter laceration (post-partum defecation is unimaginably painful). At the same time will also increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, after the delivery of the baby, the large uterus suddenly deflated, it will be like an exhausted soft ball, the lack of uterine contractions can not be effective in stopping the bleeding, coupled with bleeding caused by the soft obstetric tract fissure, the symptoms of the mild may need a large number of transfusions of rehydration fluids, and the serious cases may be hysterectomy. See, it’s not easy to raise a “big fat kid”. Weight gain, let diet and exercise to gatekeeper The process of controlling the mother’s weight is actually also in the process of controlling the baby’s weight, pregnancy weight management depends on a balanced diet and effective exercise. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that pregnant women consume sugar, fat and protein (the three major energy-supplying nutrients) according to their level of physical activity and stage of pregnancy. Pregnant moms should have a clear idea of the amount of energy they consume in a day. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ACOG Guidelines for Exercise and Movement during Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period clearly state that pregnant women need to be able to perform 20-30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most or every day of the week in order to maintain or promote physical health. If your pregnancy situation lends itself to pregnancy exercise, walking, housework, swimming, and pregnancy yoga are all suitable exercise options for expectant mothers. The emphasis is on persistence Control a meal and exercise once or twice, you don’t expect this to have much impact on your weight. Weight control during pregnancy is a constant battle. Meat piles up on your body and in your life, and overcoming the bad habits that make you gain weight requires you to stick to them day in and day out. I’ve been doing my exercises every day and keeping track of them. Tip: You know that obesity in the general population is prone to high blood pressure and diabetes, so how can you be different because you are pregnant? You were so concerned about your weight before you got pregnant, so why should you let your weight skyrocket when you’re pregnant? Being pregnant is about gaining weight, but the baby doesn’t need mom’s extra pounds, which can become a burden on his life. Mom’s physical condition is the baby’s growth and development of the soil, barren and eutrophic land seeds can not properly take root and sprout. When is the best time to start calcium supplements for pregnant women? How to take it? A: Calcium is an essential raw material for the development of baby’s bones and teeth. After pregnancy, the demand for calcium from pregnant mothers is far greater than before. The need to increase the storage of calcium during pregnancy is about 30g, almost all of which are accumulated in the last 3 months of pregnancy in the fetus, for fetal bone and tooth development. All 20 milk teeth and the first permanent teeth develop and calcify during the eighth month of gestation. By the 11th week of pregnancy, the fetus weighs about 14 grams and begins to be able to suck, swallow and kick. Its fine points have begun to develop, fingernails and downy hair have begun to appear, life-sustaining organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and the respiratory organs have begun to work, and the outline of the spinal column is clearly visible, with the spinal nerves beginning to grow. At the same time, the development of the fetal skeletal cells accelerates, the limbs slowly become longer, the deposition of calcium salts gradually occurs, and the bones harden. At this time, the fetus has to take a lot of calcium from the pregnant mother’s body, so pregnant mothers at this time should drink more milk and eat more high-calcium foods. If the pregnant mother’s blood calcium is low to a certain extent will occur at night cramps in the calves, so it is necessary to appropriate outdoor activities, more exposure to sunlight. Generally speaking the human body needs to consume 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day, but women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need to consume 1,200 to 1,400 milligrams of calcium per day. Consult your doctor if you are concerned that you are not getting enough calcium. However, it is important not to overdose on calcium because too much calcium may prevent your body from absorbing other minerals, which may cause constipation or increase the risk of kidney stones. So how do you take calcium supplements? Food sources: Milk and milk products are the best sources of calcium in food, which not only contain high calcium content but also have a high absorption rate. Other foods, such as egg yolk, soy products, seafood also have more calcium, although the absorption is not as good as milk, but often eat some of the calcium is also good. You should ensure that you drink 2 bags of milk and 1 bag of soy milk every day. You can take some calcium tablets under the guidance of your doctor. In order to promote the absorption and utilization of calcium, you should also get more sunshine or supplement the right amount of vitamin D. You can eat more dairy products as appropriate. The exact amount you eat depends on your daily consumption. Dairy products are a good source of calcium, protein, vitamin D and phosphorus. You should ideally eat three or four servings of calcium-rich foods a day, which will enable you to get about 1,000 milligrams of calcium. Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products whenever possible to get all the nutrients without increasing the amount of fat. What if I don’t like milk? What if I’m lactose intolerant and can’t drink milk? Even if you don’t like milk, it’s best not to give up. We can think of some alternatives: (1) Drink less each time. Drink only half a cup of milk, four times a day with meals or snacks. (2) Eat other foods when you drink milk so you’ll be more receptive. For example, get up in the morning and drink a bowl of skim or low-fat milk with cereal. (3) Choose cheese. Nowadays, you can find various flavors of cheese in large supermarkets, and I’m sure there’s always one you like. (4) Drink yogurt. Yogurt is a great alternative to milk and contains active bacteria, which are beneficial bacteria that help digest lactose. (5) Drink 1 cup of a calcium-absorbing, decaffeinated latte or coffee with milk when you add a meal at 2 or 3 pm. Note: The calcium in bones and bone broth is poorly absorbed by the body and is not very helpful for calcium supplementation. In addition, even if your blood calcium level is normal, it does not mean that you are not deficient in calcium. It is possible that you have already lost bone mass or even have osteoporosis. To determine your bone mass, a bone densitometry test is needed, but this can be a “shot in the dark” when you are pregnant. Calcium requirements are much higher than usual, so just take a calcium supplement. At the same time, we also recommend that pregnant mothers in pregnancy to supplement the appropriate amount of vitamin D, pregnant mothers who have the conditions can be drawn blood test vitamin D levels, to understand their own vitamin D levels, it is reported that nearly 80% of China’s maternal vitamin D insufficiency, the need for additional supplemental vitamin D preparations, the specific dosage and method of taking the dietary supplements you can consult the nutritional sciences doctor for this type of dietary supplements. The specific dosage and method of administration can be consulted with a nutritionist for this type of dietary supplement.
