What should we pay attention to during pregnancy?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the transfer of fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus through in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology to achieve the purpose of embryo implantation and pregnancy. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF pregnancy may have some risks and special needs. This article will introduce the matters needing attention in IVF pregnancy from the aspects of nutrition, psychology, medicine and physical signs.
Nutrition
During the pregnancy of IVF, reasonable nutrition intake is crucial to embryonic development and maternal health. First of all, pregnant women should ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, such as folic acid, iron, calcium, etc. These nutrients are crucial to the normal development of the embryo and the physiological needs of the mother. Secondly, sugar and fat intake should be controlled in the diet to avoid the risk of obesity and diabetes. In addition, the diet should be light and diverse, and it is not advisable to overeat spicy, overheated or irritating food.
In addition, during the pregnancy of test tube babies, pregnant women should keep adequate water intake and avoid drinking caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, tea and cola. Water helps maintain maternal blood volume and the absorption of nutrients by the fetus. Caffeine may affect the development of embryos and should be avoided as far as possible.
Finally, pregnant women should take oral folic acid and other pregnancy supplements as prescribed by their doctors. Folic acid can prevent fetal neural tube defects. It should be supplemented at the preparatory stage and continued to be taken during pregnancy. Other supplements such as calcium and iron can also be selected and used according to specific conditions.
psychology
The mental health of IVF during pregnancy also needs attention. Pregnant women with IVF may have experienced long-term infertility treatment, and pay more attention to the pregnancy results. Therefore, pregnant women should actively adjust their mentality and maintain optimistic and positive emotions. The pressure and anxiety can be alleviated by communicating with doctors and other families who have experienced IVF and participating in psychological counseling.
In addition, pregnant women should also pay attention to avoid long-term emotional fluctuations and overwork. Proper rest and relaxation are very important for the health of the fetus and the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman. You can do some aerobic exercises properly, such as walking, yoga, etc., and you can also read, listen to music, etc. to ease your mood.
medicine
The use of drugs for IVF babies during pregnancy should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions, and the dosage should not be adjusted or the drug should not be stopped. The treatment of IVF often involves the use of ovulation promoting drugs, progesterone, etc. These drugs play an important role in the development of embryos and the maintenance of pregnancy, but there may also be some adverse reactions. Therefore, pay close attention to the physical condition during the use, and contact the doctor in time in case of abnormal reaction.
In addition, pregnant women should also avoid drug abuse and exposure to harmful substances. For example, smoking, drinking and exposure to harmful chemicals will have adverse effects on the development and health of the fetus. If the pregnant woman has other diseases that need medication, it must be adjusted and controlled under the guidance of the doctor.
sign
The physical signs of IVF pregnancy are basically the same as those of natural pregnancy, including pregnancy reaction, weight gain, breast pain, etc. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women may have nausea, vomiting, fatigue, appetite change and other symptoms, which are normal manifestations of pregnancy reaction, so don't worry too much.
Pregnant women should pay attention to the changes of physical signs. If there are vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, persistent dizziness and other abnormalities, they should seek medical advice in time. Regular prenatal examination and B-ultrasound examination are important means to ensure the health of the fetus. When necessary, blood examination and other relevant examinations will also be carried out.
summary
During pregnancy, IVF babies should pay attention to nutrition, psychology, medicine and physical signs. The key to ensure the healthy development of IVF infants is to maintain reasonable nutrition intake, maintain a good attitude, follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to the changes of physical signs in a timely manner. During pregnancy, pregnant women should try to relax, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and monitoring, and jointly look forward to the smooth birth of test tube babies.
