During pregnancy, many women become suspicious, fear to harm the baby. Expectant mothers are worried about a lot of issues related to the lifestyle recommended by doctors.
All pregnant women are interested in how safe these or those familiar actions are for the baby. There are several topics that women traditionally raise.
Computer work
A modern monitor has a high degree of protection, so it can not harm the crumbs. However, experts do not recommend sitting at a computer for a long time, since the body is in a static position. Take ten minute breaks every hour. At this time, it is useful to perform several simple exercises, just lie down with your eyes closed, go out into the fresh air.
Visit to the dentist
Dental treatment with local anesthesia does not harm the child. On the contrary, caries is a source of infection, therefore, it can be dangerous. If you do not cure a sick tooth in time, its neighbors will suffer or microbes will enter the bloodstream.
X-ray for pregnant women is also allowed, because the beam is narrowly focused, passes only through a specific tooth. The device emits so little radiation that it is comparable to a normal background. And the woman’s chest and stomach are protected by a lead apron in this procedure.
Coffee
It’s better to give up this drink, because caffeine removes calcium from the body, increases pressure, retains fluid, and causes uterine tone, which can lead to miscarriage. If you cannot completely eliminate coffee, at least limit its use. Choose varieties with a minimum caffeine content, add milk to the drink.
Alcohol
It is forbidden in any form. There is an opinion that beer is useful for pregnant women, because it contains B vitamins. But it is much safer to get vitamins with food or take in the form of tablets on the recommendation of a doctor.
Doing sports
Physical activity is beneficial because it saturates the body with oxygen. At the same time, they should be gentle and moderate. It is not necessary to do deep squats, twisting the torso, swing the press during pregnancy.
You can purchase special video tutorials. Exercise complexes are designed to strengthen the muscles involved in childbirth, but not harm the baby. Yoga for pregnant women is also recommended, including breathing practices and stretching exercises. However, it is best to consult a doctor first.
Swimming in the pool
This is a very comfortable and safe form of physical activity. But with toxicosis, dizziness, placenta previa, the threat of miscarriage, uterine hypertonicity, genital tract infections, lower abdominal pain, discharge, the pool is contraindicated.
Hair coloring
Do not use chemical dyes, especially in the first trimester. Poisonous substances can enter the bloodstream. But paint made on the basis of natural ingredients (basma, henna) will not harm the baby.
Sleep on my stomach
You will definitely have to forget about this position, because squeezing the child, circulatory disorders can occur. Better sleep on your side or on your back. There are also pillows for pregnant women, which are placed between the legs, and sleep is getting better.
Visit to the bath
Refrain from sauna or bath, as overheating negatively affects the baby. High temperatures can also increase the tone of the uterus, increase the load on the heart, which now works for two.
Sex life
If pregnancy goes well, there is no reason for abstinence. The baby is well protected, intimate contact is not dangerous for him. Doctors include hypertonicity, hormonal disorders, placenta previa, pain, genital infections, spotting, as contraindications.
