What should you pay attention to during the tenth week of pregnancy?

The tenth week of pregnancy is the early stage of pregnancy, and early pregnancy reactions have already appeared, such as always feeling hungry and not knowing what to eat, vomiting after eating, and other early pregnancy reactions. The fetus is still unstable in the early stages of pregnancy, and expectant mothers are very worried about the baby's health. Let us learn about what we should pay attention to in the tenth week of pregnancy. Let me introduce it to you below.

In the tenth week of pregnancy, under the influence of progesterone, your mood swings will be great, making you feel crazy, angry, sad, happy and irritable, and sometimes these changes occur within 10 seconds. You are extremely sensitive and often lose your temper over trivial matters. This emotion won't always be like this. Don't feel guilty or make others feel guilty. Every pregnant woman will feel the same way as you. Pregnancy is a training to learn to accept yourself and do your best.

1. Birth defect screening: If you are over 35 years old or have a family history of genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, you may want to consider genetic disease counseling or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) at 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy to screen for certain birth defects and abnormalities.

2. Headache: Headaches are very common during pregnancy, especially in the first three months, because the blood pressure is low and the body is trying hard to supply blood to the head. If you need to take medication to relieve headaches, be sure to do so under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Melanin deposition: The pigmentation on the pregnant mother's skin becomes heavier, and the color of moles, freckles and nipples becomes darker, but it will return to normal after delivery. Pregnant mothers don’t have to worry, they can easily drive away melanin by massaging every day.

4. Will the weight definitely increase? Most pregnant mothers will experience varying degrees of weight gain during this stage. But if you don't see any changes, don't worry. If you eat the right food and exercise, you may even be able to lose weight.

5. Can pregnant mothers take medicine? If pregnant mothers take inappropriate medicine, the medicine can directly affect the fetus through the placenta. Pregnancy lasts for ten months, which is not short. Expectant mothers will inevitably get sick, so they must understand the contraindications of medication during pregnancy.

6. Fasten your seat belt when driving: Pregnant mothers should fasten their seat belts whether they are riding in a car or driving. Pregnant mothers should drive safely, which is the best thing to do for their own and their children's health.

7. Let delicious food add points to the fetus: A woman’s pregnancy is a special physiological period that requires enhanced nutrition, because all the nutrients needed for the growth and development of the fetus come from the mother, and the pregnant woman herself needs to reserve nutrients for delivery and milk secretion. Therefore, ensuring that the nutritional status of the pregnant woman remains normal during pregnancy plays a very important role in the pregnancy process and the development of the fetus and baby.

The above are things that need to be paid attention to in the tenth week of pregnancy. While paying attention to these things, expectant mothers should also take more rest. It is best to take an hour's lunch break every day. Try to eat more to ensure the nutrition of the fetus. Don't be too nervous, relax, go for a walk in the park and do something you like to make yourself happy.
