Effective methods for elderly childbearing
With the development of society, more and more women choose to marry later and have children later, that is, to have children at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing will increase the risk of pregnant women and fetuses. In order to ensure the health of the elderly pregnant women and the safety of the fetus, there are some effective ways to help the elderly women to successfully conceive, deliver and recover after childbirth. This article will elaborate on the effective methods of elder childbearing from the aspects of diet, exercise, psychological coping and medical supervision.
diet
Diet is crucial for older pregnant women. A nutritious diet can improve the immunity of pregnant women and reduce the incidence of complications during pregnancy. First of all, elderly pregnant women should ensure adequate protein intake, which can be achieved by eating more beans, eggs, fish and other foods. In addition, vitamin and mineral supplements are also very important, especially folic acid, iron and calcium. Folic acid can prevent fetal spina bifida and other malformations, iron can avoid anemia, and calcium can help fetal bone development. In order to ingest enough of these nutrients, elderly pregnant women can reasonably arrange their diet under the guidance of doctors, and can supplement nutrition as needed.
Secondly, older pregnant women should avoid taking too much fat and sugar. High fat diet is easy to lead to weight gain and increase the risk of hypertension and diabetes in pregnant women. Too much sugar intake also tends to lead to overweight fetuses and the birth of macrosomia. Therefore, older pregnant women should try to choose low fat and low sugar foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Finally, elderly pregnant women should develop good eating habits, eat regularly, and avoid overeating. The diet should be balanced, not excessive or insufficient, to keep the weight stable. In addition, during pregnancy, attention should also be paid to avoiding raw and cold food, raw fish and meat, and food containing caffeine to reduce the risk of food poisoning and miscarriage.
motion
Proper exercise can help elderly pregnant women maintain a healthy weight, enhance muscle strength and cardiopulmonary function. However, the following principles should be followed when exercising:
First, choose a sport that suits you. For elderly pregnant women, the most suitable exercise is mild aerobic exercise, such as walking, swimming and yoga. These exercises will not produce excessive pressure on pregnant women and fetuses, and can improve cardiopulmonary function and physical strength.
Secondly, control the intensity and time of exercise. Older pregnant women should moderately increase the intensity and time of exercise to avoid overwork. The exercise time is generally controlled between 30 minutes and 1 hour, and the exercise intensity should be able to speak easily.
Finally, keep safe. Older pregnant women should pay attention to safety during exercise to avoid falling or other accidental injuries. If you feel unwell, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor.
Psychological coping
Older pregnancy itself brings more anxiety and worry to women. Therefore, a good psychological response is essential.
First of all, elderly pregnant women should try to keep a happy mood. You can relax yourself by listening to music, reading books, watching movies, etc., and shift your attention to reduce anxiety and stress.
Secondly, communicate with family and friends. Older pregnant women can share their worries and worries with their families and friends, and seek support and encouragement. Their companionship and understanding will make pregnancy more relaxed and pleasant.
Finally, seek professional help. If the elderly pregnant women feel anxious and depressed for a long time, they should consult a professional psychologist for advice and help.
Medical monitoring
Older pregnant women need closer medical surveillance to ensure the safety of pregnancy and the health of the fetus.
First of all, the elderly pregnant women should receive prenatal examination regularly. Prenatal examination includes the monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood routine and other indicators, as well as B ultrasound and amniocentesis, so as to discover and deal with possible problems in a timely manner.
Secondly, older pregnant women can choose to have prenatal examination and delivery in a formal obstetrics and gynecology hospital. First class hospitals and professional doctors will provide better medical services and care to reduce pregnancy complications and delivery risks.
Finally, elderly pregnant women should take vitamins and drugs during pregnancy according to the doctor's advice, and follow the doctor's instructions and guidance.
summary
The elderly childbirth needs the joint efforts of the elderly pregnant women and doctors. Reasonable diet, proper exercise, good psychological coping and medical monitoring can effectively reduce the risk of elderly pregnant women and fetuses, and promote healthy pregnancy, delivery and postpartum recovery.
