Fourteen B-pregnancy Q & Learn

When do the first B-? If abnormal how to do? B advanced to pee? Here is the first time to the unborn baby B out to do all matters need to pay attention ... ...

B-But the first major event during pregnancy. This experience is both excited, it makes one uneasy. Can not wait to see their baby at the same time, they can not help but worry not a problem. To help you understand the situation, we are on the first B-made answers to all questions.

1, I've had a miscarriage, first-time B-time is not it a little earlier?

Although some doctors recommend abortion had a history of mothers do the best B-breakfast, especially for those who have had two or more people who experience miscarriage. However, early B-ultrasonic examination does not guarantee all the normal fetus. According to the survey data show: 8 weeks of pregnancy to the fetus if they can check the heartbeat, then the pregnancy rates of up to 98%, and 10 weeks, then can increase to 99.4%.

If you have pain or bleeding is necessary for early B-ultrasound. 6 weeks ago but could see very little, only in the case of suspected ectopic pregnancy B-only necessary.

6 weeks of pregnancy when fetal heart rate checks to only 50%. Check the heartbeat, of course not worrying, but this does not mean that the baby out of the question. Wait a week or so and then check to 8 weeks ago most of the fetal heartbeat has been very clear.

2, the doctor told me to do vaginal B-, I am very worried.

If you want to do early B-ultrasound, the hospital may arrange for vaginal ultrasound B - B through vaginal ultrasound in vivo, because at this time the uterus has not enlarged, through the abdomen do not see too many cases. But is not no B-vaginal sounds so terrible, the top of the detector, only much more great.

B ahead of the detector will be disinfected, and put a layer of film (like condoms). Doctor will probe coated with lubricant, and then it gently into the vagina. Check will not bleeding, it will not increase the risk of miscarriage. So there is no need to worry too much.

3, B ultrasonic examination of foreign first time and why we are different?

Different countries or regions in which, B ultrasonic examination of the type and time are not the same. Britain to 11 weeks in most hospitals can provide B-screening. But in some areas until about 16 weeks before they can be the first time B-ultrasound. China is now the most recommended no special circumstances are prospective mothers can go to the hospital at 14 weeks and first filing B-ultrasound.

4, each of fetal Down syndrome screening should be carried out it?

Each mother will accept and Down's syndrome screening, but not the only way to check. Some hospitals are 11 to 14 weeks to provide screening between the mother (generally and the first B-ultrasound at the same time), namely through the B-back of the neck of the fetus to measure the liquid (the liquid of fetal Down syndrome partial more); addition, require that all mothers should be in the 14 weeks to 18 weeks of pregnancy between the serum screening (blood test). Experts pointed out: The two examination revealed similar risk of malformations, but the fetal neck by B-examination can find problems faster.

5,20 weeks to see a child's sex?

Some mothers will be conducted at 20 weeks B-check to see whether the normal fetal growth and development. The doctor will see the fetus through the B-main organs and bones, check the child's growth and health of the placenta. Of course, they may see a child's gender. Experts pointed out: between 16 to 17 weeks, differences in fetal sex organs had been produced, but by the position of the child, in most cases can not distinguish the child's gender.

6, if abnormal how to do?

Some fetuses may occur not in line with the normal situation. Down syndrome, this may be a signal abnormalities, but most of the time is a false alarm. If your child has such ultrasound abnormalities or complications, preferably within 72 hours to find a detailed fetal medicine specialist to be a B-ultrasound. If the second check still are found, then the doctor will give you some advice: If a child is born after the surgery and treatment which needs to be done (even for treatment before birth). If the situation is very serious cases, doctors may recommend termination of pregnancy.

7, even if the fetus has problems, I do not want to terminate the pregnancy, then I need to do B-it?

No one will force you to any form of examination or treatment, including B-. But even if you believe that even if the sick child will not terminate the pregnancy, continue to be necessary to be a B-. Experts pointed out: the problems ahead of time lets you know that the child has full mental preparation, but also allows medical staff to be prepared to give you in the delivery of necessary medical treatment and assistance, and to ensure that a child is born will be assisted by experts .

8, to do three or four-dimensional B-will be greater risk of it?

Indeed, even the traditional ultrasound can not guarantee one hundred percent safe. Although ultrasound has been used a long way, but there is research that may cause fetal B-dysplasia. However, this situation only a part of a fixed ultrasonic probe, and check the situation continued to have a longer period of time possible.

Three or four-dimensional ultrasound for 20 minutes to make increased risk of potentially dangerous. In need of treatment is recommended only under the premise do these checks. But if only a three-dimensional or four-dimensional inspection is unlikely to affect the health of the fetus.

9, there is no B-symptoms that can not be found?

Frustrating is that there are. Severe deformities are usually easy to find, but some exceptions may be overlooked or B-examination would not have known. The study showed that: as spina bifida, missing limbs and severe stomach problems and other common abnormal situation occurs, find the probability is 90%. However, the discovery of heart rate is only 25%. As for autism and cerebral palsy, etc., B-simply can not find.

10, need to be holding back urine B ahead of it?

B-bladder filling actually make the image more clearly presented. Experts pointed out: early pregnancy, the uterus in the pelvis also would be blocked intestine. Bladder filled with water pushed aside the intestines, through the B-you can check to clear the uterus.

11, B super will not hurt me and my children?

B-ultrasound do you need to endure the pain of holding back urine, and check the doctor then press hard on your stomach, you will feel sick. But experts say there is no need to worry: doctors must be forced extrusion of abdominal fat kids to shorten the distance between the detector and in order to get to a more clear image. Experts also said that even though children will feel the pressure, but like a cushion of amniotic fluid around him as he wrapped so that he was safe.

12, I overweight, this will affect the B-check it?

Yes. Overweight or muscular ultrasound B will increase the difficulty. Because the ultrasound will go through more organizations. Experts admit that B-more difficult. The fetal heart is small, and kept beating so hard to see if the mother is too fat in the heart of the fetus. If the B-accurate results than a medical examination, she will arrange for you to do it again. If the second is still unclear, you may have to do a vaginal B-.

13, there is no need to go to several hospitals more?

You may think you go to the old hospital equipment, check the doctors lack of experience, this idea is normal. However, experts point out that doctors in general can be found in the abnormal fetus and an explanation of each image, so really do not need to spend more, or buy some baby things saved it.

14, could get photos to go home?

Once you know all the normal children, you most want to know is whether they can get back to Ta of the first photo shown to others. You can at least get a picture, although this may apply. However, for security reasons, the best start just like the doctor said well, you want a picture. Also to save these precious photos can not use lamination method, because high temperatures are likely to destroy the photos. Copy or scan is a better choice.

Starting from pregnancy to prevent obesity in children

If some of the key stages of the mother during pregnancy did not control diet, obesity can cause the baby in the future. Therefore, the prevention of obesity in children should begin during pregnancy.

Adhere to the three health habits

Pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon, and not a disease, there is no need not to work. In the appropriate doctors work under the guidance and movement, so that pregnant mothers can prevent obesity is also beneficial to fetal health.

3 are options

1-3 months of pregnancy

* Early stages of pregnancy, most pregnant mothers in the 2-3 kg weight gain. As half of the pregnant mother may have "morning sickness" performance seriously, can not eat, or even need to go to hospital for treatment, some pregnant mothers weight loss occurs. At this point, we should pay attention to changes in diet, Eat small meals a day suitable, such as eating 4-5 times.

* Although the body more and more cumbersome, but should still adhere to the exercise, and energetic, with walking and other light-based physical activity.

Knowledge of small link

* Baby likely to be obese in the three important period

The current study shows that the growth of human life, the accumulation of fat cells is a critical period of prenatal 3 months, 1 year old and 11-14 year-old three stages. To avoid baby body fat, it is necessary to avoid excess energy in the three phases, the formation of excessive amount of fat cells.

* Low body weight should not be pregnant mother

Overweight pregnant mothers in correct, we should also pay attention to weight gain during pregnancy is not too low. Because underweight pregnant mothers, prone to "low birth weight children," or babies suffering from "poor nutrition for children," the possibility of increasing, so the baby can also cause adult obesity, cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.
