If it has been stopped for 8 weeks, pregnancy is more likely. It is worth noting that although a married woman, or a woman of childbearing age who has ever had sex, may be the earliest and most important symptom of pregnancy is menopause, menopause is not necessarily pregnancy.

Now that you are ready to have a cute baby, you should prepare the internal environment of your body and the external environment of your life. Internal environment refers to maintaining a healthy body and mentality. At this time, you should quit smoking and drinking, because excessive smoking and drinking will cause sperm and egg deformities. You must not want to let your baby's life start in an abnormal state. During the planned conception, do not come into contact with toxic substances, such as anesthetics, pesticides, chlorfenuron, lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., and do not irradiate radioactive substances such as X-rays.

The external environment means that the living room should be kept fresh and clean, and the small family should be arranged as romantic and warm as possible to create a harmonious and light atmosphere. Now you can measure your ovulation cycle, the menstrual cycle, by yourself. The main method is the basal body temperature method, that is, the body does not do any exercise after waking up every morning, and the body temperature is measured with a thermometer. After insisting on doing it for a month, a curvilinear basal body temperature table can be made. Generally, the body temperature during ovulation will increase by 0.3-0.5 degrees. According to the basal body temperature chart, you can be ready to welcome new life during ovulation.

A breastfeeding woman who has not resumed menstruation may still become pregnant again, so be careful. There are also some people who will have a small amount of bleeding when they are due to menstruate, but the amount is less than usual, the color is lighter, and the time is short, and sometimes it is mistaken for menstruation. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it is accompanied by the following symptoms to further determine the possibility of pregnancy. .

• Early pregnancy reaction: About half of women will experience dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, loss of appetite, liking to eat acidic food, dislike greasy, nausea, vomiting in the morning and other reactions in the early stage of pregnancy (about 6 weeks of menopause). Medically known as early pregnancy reaction.
• Frequency urination: Frequent urination in early pregnancy due to pressure on the bladder by the enlarged uterus in the pelvis. After about 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the uterus enters the abdominal cavity and no longer presses on the bladder, the symptoms of frequent urination will disappear naturally. Frequent urination may still occur until the late fetal head descends.
• Fetal development status: What we usually call "October pregnancy" is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, so the first week is actually the final preparation for the fertilization of the egg!

Pregnancy is like a journey. Once you are pregnant, you will embark on a journey of travel. After giving birth to a little angel, you will reach the end of the journey. In order to make the trip enjoyable, it is necessary to master the knowledge of health care during pregnancy and take good care of yourself. Only in this way can the fetus develop normally, reduce pregnancy complications that endanger the life and health of mothers and infants, reduce dystocia and postpartum hemorrhage, and reduce infant mortality. Early detection of deformities and genetic diseases.

Principles of pre-pregnancy diet

Urban women have a certain degree of planning for pregnancy and childbirth, so that all aspects of themselves are in the best condition, which is conducive to the smooth progress of pregnancy, and can ensure the healthy growth of the baby. If you want your body to be in the best condition, then the pre-pregnancy diet is also one of the factors that must be paid attention to. So what to eat before pregnancy? Experts say that it is necessary to ensure adequate supply of protein, calories, fat, trace elements and vitamins, and women should start supplementing folic acid before pregnancy, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the fetus.

• Diversify the intake of nutrients, eat less and more meals instead of "three meals a day", start folic acid supplementation before pregnancy, avoid high-fat foods, and avoid stimulant beverages.
• Ensure an adequate supply of high-quality protein: Both men and women should consume 50 to 70 grams of high-quality protein in their diets every day to ensure the normal development of fertilized eggs.
• Ensure adequate supply of caloric energy: Eat some foods with high calorie appropriately to maintain a reasonable and stable weight.
• Ensure the supply of fat: Fat is the main source of energy for the body, and the essential fatty acids it contains are indispensable substances that constitute the body's cells and tissues. Increasing your intake of high-quality fats can be beneficial for pregnancy.
• Supplement with enough inorganic salts and trace elements: calcium, iron, zinc, copper, etc. play a role in forming bones, making blood, improving intelligence, and maintaining metabolic balance in the body.
• Provide the right amount of vitamins: Vitamins help in the development and growth of sperm, eggs, and fertilized eggs.
• Experts recommend that the intake of calcium should not exceed 2000 mg and should be kept at 1000-1200 mg; the intake of iron should not exceed 60 mg and should be kept at around 28 mg; the intake of zinc should not exceed 35 mg and should be kept at around 20 mg ; The intake of vitamin C should not exceed 1000 mg, and keep it at about 130 mg.
• Reduce the amount of salt: The daily salt intake of normal pregnant women is 7-10 grams. Continue to eat a variety of vitamins while keeping an eye on your salt absorption to make sure you're getting extra iron.

Three things to look out for in the early stages of pregnancy:

1. Receive an obstetric or genetic counseling if you have had a viral illness (such as a viral cold, etc.) before 3 months If you have used large doses of drugs, or have suffered from diseases such as hepatitis, nephritis, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc., you should tell the doctor truthfully so as to know whether there will be adverse effects on the fetus.
2. Pay attention to nutrition, keep a wide range of recipes, don't be partial to picky eaters, especially eat more foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables and protein.
3. Avoid strenuous activity, such as cycling. Pause sex to avoid miscarriage.

Many women don't start taking folic acid until they learn they're pregnant, usually a month or two after conception. In fact, folic acid is very important for the development of the early fetal brain and spinal cord, and can prevent the occurrence of brain and spinal cord defects. Experts therefore recommend that women start taking folic acid supplements while they are planning to become pregnant. In addition, if pregnant women take contraceptives, anticonvulsants, etc. for a long time before pregnancy, it may interfere with the metabolism of vitamins such as folic acid. Therefore, women planning to become pregnant should stop taking the drug 6 months before pregnancy and supplement with vitamins such as folic acid. For women who have given birth to a baby with neural tube defects, it is best to go to the hospital for a second pregnancy and increase the daily dose of folic acid as directed by the doctor until 12 weeks after pregnancy.

The sooner the prenatal education starts, the better

Modern medical research suggests that the fetus has a strange potential ability. The fetus has a more complex physiological reflex function from the 5th week, and has formed the sensory and tactile functions at the 10th week. The fetus begins to respond to sound at around 20 weeks. At 30 weeks, it has hearing, taste, smell and vision functions, and can hear the mother's heartbeat and external sounds. Parents all over the world want their babies to be smart, beautiful and lively. Especially in today's fast-developing society, I hope that my children will be superior in intelligence, so that they can stand out in an invincible position in the fierce competition in the future. The cultivation of talents cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, it must start from the fetus. 

According to years of research on more than 1,000 children by a famous American psychologist, the conclusion is that 50% of human intelligence is acquired in 4 Before the age of 30, 30% were obtained between the ages of 4 and 8, and the other 20% were completed after the age of 8. 50% completed before the age of 4 includes prenatal education. The development of modern science has proved that the fetus not only has the ability of vision, hearing, activity and memory, but also can feel the emotional changes of the mother. Taking appropriate methods and means during pregnancy to regularly implement benign stimulation to the fetal hearing and touch, which is transmitted to the brain through the nervous system, can promote the good development of the fetal cerebral cortex and continuously develop potential capabilities. The rich imagination, deep insight, good memory, agile thinking ability and hands-on ability of an outstanding talent can be potentially cultivated through prenatal education during the fetal period. A large number of facts from ancient and modern times at home and abroad also show that prenatal education is very important to promote the improvement of human IQ. To this end, many countries have done a lot of research on prenatal education, and established fetal universities or prenatal education guidance centers to popularize prenatal education knowledge and cultivate more precocious children.
