Pregnancy is not a disease, but it is a very complex process of the birth and formation of a new life. Therefore, during this period, a woman should take care of herself.
Here is a rough list of what you should never do during pregnancy.
Wear heels. Shoes with heels additionally load the spine, which is already burdened with the weight of the child. The consequence of not observing this rule can be postpartum pain in the spine, as well as varicose veins and swelling of the legs.
Lift weights. The weight of the load that can be lifted by a pregnant woman is: no more than five kilograms in the early stages and no more than two or three in the later stages. Lifting too much weight suddenly can cause miscarriage or form an umbilical hernia.
Get vaccinated and x-rays. These medical procedures should be avoided to avoid harm to the fetus.
Nervous and very tired. The mother's condition is passed on to the child, so the baby will feel bad.
Use electric sheets, stay at the computer for a long time. Radiation from electrical appliances is still poorly understood, but its excessive exposure is unlikely to be useful for a child.
Take long trips. A pregnant woman is more likely to get motion sickness, and it is also dangerous due to the possible untimely provision of medical care if necessary.
Frequently visit crowded places and children's groups in order to avoid infection with various kinds of infections.
Ignore any manifestations of ailments. If something hurts, it is imperative to consult a doctor in order to identify abnormalities in time, to prevent abnormal development of the fetus.
Use household chemicals. Powders and detergents contain a lot of harmful substances that, if used directly, can harm the fetus.
Clean up the pet's toilet. You can become infected with toxoplasmosis through the faeces of animals.
Experiment with food. Do not eat foods that may contain harmful substances. It is worth adhering to the diet recommended by the gynecologist.
Use makeup. Aggressive cosmetics such as hair dye or self-tanning products can negatively affect your baby.
Take medication. Even if a woman gets sick, the doctor will prescribe treatment that is acceptable during pregnancy. It is strongly discouraged to take conventional medications during pregnancy.
