by: Sara Jameson
Pregnancy is a time where you have to be careful with yourself.
Many factors affect the development of a fetus into a healthy child.
Whether you like it or not there some activities you should avoid
for the sake of your healthy baby. There are pregnancy risks that
you have to aware of.
To help you knowing what they are, here is some checklist you might
want to consider:
• Don’t drink alcohol! You going to jeopardise your
baby’s development. If you don’t want to have low birth
weight baby, and having medical problems, better stop drinking once
you know that you are pregnant.
• Don’t smoke! Chemical inhaled while smoking may cause
premature birth, miscarriage, bleeding, etc. Also it reduced the
amount of oxygen that baby receives. What ever you are, don’t
smoke and avoid second hand smoke.
• Don’t drink coffee. Caffeine in the coffee has been
shown to affect fetal heart rates. Caffeine can also increase risk
of stretch marks. If you can’t stop immediately, try to stop
gradually.
• Don’t do too much exercise! No doubt if moderate exercise
is helpful for mother's mental state and can increase oxygen flow
to the fetus. However, too much exercise can be dangerous. Better
you do activities like walking, swimming, and yoga.
• Don’t get near to chemicals substance! Be careful
with unnatural chemicals, such as pesticides. If you consume vegetables
or fruits, don’t forget to wash them. Or remove the outer
surface of vegetables or fruit so pesticides which rest on the outside
of the vegetable or fruit will be thrown away.
• Don’t consume drugs or herbal remedies that are not
prescribed by doctors. What you consume might affect your unborn
baby.
• Don’t forget to eat nutritious foods. Good nutrition
is crucial to a developing child. At least you consume 400-1000
micrograms of B vitamin (folic acid) which can be taken from leafy
vegetables, orange juice, and beans.
• Don’t have multiple sex partners which may lead to
birth and pregnancy complications cause by STD's risk. Once you
infected by STD, you may have premature baby or low birth baby.
Preventing is better than curing. If you can prevent yourself by
not doing those kinds of activities, hopefully you going to have
a healthy and normal baby. Try to acknowledge this on your first
month of pregnant.
