Weak immunity, chronic fatigue syndrome, developmental delay, and even fetal death are possible consequences of the flu suffered by a pregnant woman. In the first three to six weeks after conception, the child is especially vulnerable, so the expectant mother should carefully monitor her health.
Instructions
Step 1
In the early stages, pregnancy is almost invisible. Only the woman herself and those to whom she decided to tell knows about this. Nevertheless, although you may not even feel that a new life is developing in you, you will have to answer for two already.
Step 2
Ideally, a woman should take good care of her health even at the stage of planning a child. Strengthen your immune system. At this time, you can take any vitamin complexes that suit you. If the pregnancy has already begun, the choice of funds is limited. Include juices, fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet. Cranberries, lingonberries, sauerkraut, nuts will be useful to you.
Step 3
The immune system is directly dependent on the state of the digestive system. If you have stomach problems, don't expect good health. In early pregnancy, you can take probiotics Lactobacterin, Bifidumbacterin, Subtil. Kefir and yogurt will also be useful.
Step 4
Avoid crowded places. Limit visits to concerts, theaters. If you wanted to meet with friends - do not go to a cafe, but arrange a meeting at home. If you do not have personal transport, try to agree with your boss if possible to shift your work schedule so that you do not have to travel on the subway during rush hours.
Step 5
Try to get as much rest as possible and walk for two to three hours daily. Be sure to sleep at least eight hours a day. Ventilate the apartment regularly without creating drafts.
Step 6
Ask loved ones to get vaccinated a month before the expected start of the flu epidemic. If someone in the family does get sick, he should be isolated. The expectant mother can take Interferon for prophylaxis.
Step 7
Do not self-medicate, even if you catch a common cold. Be sure to contact your doctor who will prescribe the necessary drugs for you, taking into account your situation.
