How to judge whether the fetus is healthy?

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers will pay special attention to the fetal movement, especially when the fetal movement just starts to appear, expectant mothers will be particularly excited and happy. The fetal movement is a manifestation of physical health. In addition, if you want to know whether the fetus is healthy, you must not make blind judgments. Pregnant mothers must have regular prenatal check-ups, which is the key to knowing whether the fetus is healthy.

How to judge whether the fetus is healthy?

1. Regular prenatal check-ups

The purpose of standard prenatal examinations is to understand whether the mother has obstetric complications that may affect safe delivery and to ensure the health of the mother and child. Usually the first prenatal check-up starts in the third month of pregnancy, and is done every 4 weeks within 28 weeks, every 2 weeks from 28 to 36 weeks, and once a week after 36 weeks.

2. Do some exercise

Pregnancy exercises and pregnancy yoga can exercise the abdominal muscles, waist and pelvic floor muscles and relax the joint ligaments, which can increase productivity.

3. Relax your mind

During pregnancy, pregnant mothers can go to the maternity school to attend classes, learn about the many advantages of natural childbirth, and build confidence. You can also learn some common sense about the labor process, which will help you overcome possible tension. Believe that with the help of doctors and midwives, you will be able to have a smooth and natural birth.

4. Store your strength before giving birth

Pregnant mothers must pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue before giving birth. In terms of diet, you can prepare foods that add energy, such as milk and chocolate. If necessary, you can supplement with functional drinks such as Red Bull.

Natural childbirth should be the first choice

Natural labor is a normal physiological phenomenon in humans, while cesarean section is a pathological phenomenon. Natural childbirth is nature's patent for creating humans and is the child's first journey in life. During natural labor, the pressure on the fetus as it passes through the birth canal can train the fetal lungs and reduce the probability of respiratory complications in the newborn. Caesarean section, on the other hand, "simplifies things" and artificially deprives the fetus of the opportunity to practice these things.

After all, cesarean section is an operation, and the amount of bleeding is greater than that of natural labor. The recovery of postoperative trauma will also be slower, and the hospitalization time will be longer than that of natural labor. As for the folk saying that caesarean section can maintain one's figure, experts say that caesarean section can indeed prevent vaginal damage and loosening, and thus does not affect the couple's life. However, if you want to recover your body quickly, you must actively carry out postpartum recovery exercises, so your body shape has little to do with the method of delivery you choose.

For mothers, cesarean section is not safer than natural delivery, and it may also cause many sequelae. The long-term complications of cesarean section are more common than those of natural labor, including pelvic adhesions, vaginal muscle atrophy, amniotic fluid embolism, etc.
