I am pregnant for 4 months, that is, about 16 weeks, and there are still many places to pay attention to. First of all, let's answer why my back hurts and my body itches.
Why back pain is a common phenomenon during pregnancy, which is normal and cannot be completely prevented, but can only be alleviated.
Tips:
Pay attention to rest, don't walk too much, don't stand for too long.
When sleeping, it will be more reassuring to put a pillow on your waist.
It is also helpful to put a lumbar support on the seat.
Why does it itch? Tip: Scrubbing the itchy part of the stomach with warm water or vinegar-added pepper water will relieve it.
Other precautions 1, pay attention to the delivery inspection:
16- 18 There is an important prenatal examination this week, that is, Down's screening. Don't miss anyone over 35.
If you haven't filed a file and made a comprehensive examination, it's time to go to the hospital to make it up.
Step 2 pay attention to nutrition
After 4 months, the early pregnancy reaction disappears and the appetite increases, but don't overeat. Pay attention to balanced nutrition and eat more vegetables, fruits and lean meat. Long fetuses don't grow meat, pregnancy is beautiful and fetuses are healthier.
3. Pay attention to prenatal education
Four months later, the fetus becomes a small "eavesdropper" and can hear the outside world. Pay attention to avoid noisy environment and avoid fetal restlessness. We should listen to some beautiful music, read some books, implement prenatal education correctly and raise a smart and elegant baby.
4. Pay attention to wearing maternity clothes
After 4 months, the waist began to thicken and the stomach became bigger. The clothes used to be a little tight. Pay attention to wearing maternity pants to protect the stomach, keep the stomach comfortable and protect the health of the fetus.
Friends, what do you think you should pay attention to when you are pregnant for 4 months? Let's talk together!
The fourth month of pregnancy has entered the second trimester, so what is the reason for the backache of pregnant women? What should I pay attention to?
Let's first look at the development of a four-month-old fetus. At the fourth month of pregnancy, the fetal head and buttock length was about 16cm, the fetal body weight was 1 10g, the average biparietal diameter was 3.62±0.58cm, the average abdominal circumference was10.321.92 cm, and the femur length was 2.6542 cm.
At this time, the fetus is growing rapidly and all parts of the body are developing rapidly. For example, the eyes on both sides have begun to concentrate forward, and the fetal bone density has also increased and gradually hardened. The sex organs of the fetus can be seen clearly, and the brain is divided into areas responsible for smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch. Generally speaking, the baby is now a molded villain.
Why do pregnant women feel backache? At the fourth month of pregnancy, her weight may have increased by 4 to 10 Jin, and her uterus kept growing and began to rise. With the continuous enlargement of the uterus, it will bring physical fatigue and increase the load on the waist and back, so pregnant women will feel backache.
Precautions for four months of pregnancy After four months of pregnancy, pregnant women entered a stable period last summer. From now on, we should develop good habits during pregnancy, including eating and living, and adjust ourselves in all directions.
Four months pregnant, converted into gestational weeks, equivalent to 16 weeks. Although Taibao is about the size of a frog, Taibao's limbs are fully developed, Taibao's head begins to grow fetal hair, the internal organs begin to work circularly, and the joints of the limbs begin to move, so some pregnant mothers can feel slight fetal movement at this time.
So what are the precautions for pregnant women who are pregnant for four months?
1, examination items: screening (non-invasive DNA, amniocentesis in mid-Tang Dynasty), prenatal and postnatal care, and every couple wants to have a healthy baby. Whether for the baby's development or for the family and future, screening items are inevitable. These three items are based on the current gestational age (16 weeks).
2. Pregnant woman's body: After four months of pregnancy, the pregnant mother's figure is basically very pregnant, and her abdomen is very high. In order to maintain the balance of the body, the pregnant mother's upper body will lean back, and her spine will stretch. The pregnant mother may have backache. The previous clothes are too small, and often rubbing the abdomen will cause abdominal itching. Therefore, the pregnant father should massage the pregnant mother to remind her not to scratch, and it is time to change maternity clothes.
3. Calcium supplement: By the fourth month of pregnancy, Taibao's limbs were fully developed, and the bones of the body and limbs began to calcify and grow, requiring several times more calcium and nutrition than before. If no pregnant mother stores enough calcium in the body, calcium deficiency will occur at this time, such as dizziness. Therefore, pregnant mothers should eat more calcium-containing foods, such as dairy products, fish, meat, nuts and broad beans, in addition to balanced nutrition.
4. Exercise and prenatal education: Some people say that pregnant mothers can feel fetal movement, so pregnant mothers can do prenatal education for their babies during the day, such as music prenatal education and story prenatal education. Or they can do simple yoga exercises when they are free to prevent stretch marks from finding you.
Causes and relieving methods of backache: After four months of pregnancy, with the gradual enlargement of the uterus, the pregnant woman's waist is overstressed.
Moreover, because of the changes of hormones in the body, the curvature of uterine ligament and spine increases, and the pelvic nerve is compressed, which leads to backache of pregnant women.
Relieve back pain: When a pregnant mother is sitting, she can use a backrest to relieve the pressure on her back.
When pregnant women sleep, choose the left lateral position and use the pregnant woman pillow, which can minimize the pressure on the waist, legs and abdomen.
Pregnant women should avoid sedentary, standing for a long time or being too tired.
Causes of skin itching and reasons for treating skin itching;
1. Due to the changes of hormones in the body, pregnant women with 4-9 months of pregnancy will have prurigo pregnancy on their thighs or arms, showing red or pink papules.
It will make people feel itchy and has no effect on pregnant women and fetuses. This symptom will gradually disappear after delivery.
2. The rejection of foreign chromosomes or genes by pregnant women leads to itchy abdomen and upper thighs.
3. Cholestasis during pregnancy can also cause itching of pregnant women's skin.
4. Eczema is also one of the causes of skin itching, which is more common in obese pregnant women, love sweating.
5. The abdomen is overstretched, the stomach is stretched, the stomach itches, and the stretch marks are getting longer.
Treatment of skin itching:
1. Pregnant women should wear loose clothes, change clothes frequently, take a bath frequently, keep local skin clean and dry, and try to avoid scratching when itching.
2. Drink plenty of water, rest more, and don't eat spicy and other irritating foods, so as not to aggravate itching.
3. If the itching is serious, you should seek medical treatment, and the doctor will give treatment according to the situation of pregnant women.
4. Pregnant women use abdominal straps to relieve abdominal pressure.
Precautions for 4 months of pregnancy 1. Pregnancy 16 -20 weeks, pregnant mothers can detect fetal movement, and the fetal movement at this time is like a feather gently brushing water, which is very gentle. The fetus can also hear the outside world. After pregnancy 16 weeks, the mother can play prenatal music for the baby appropriately.
April is one of the fastest months for fetal development. Pregnant women need to take enough nutrition to ensure the needs of fetal growth. Mom should eat more fish, meat and eggs, which are rich in protein food.
3. During pregnancy, mother should also supplement calcium and iron trace elements through food supplement or medicine supplement. Iron deficiency anemia or calcium deficiency will have adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses.
4. Mothers can travel in the second trimester, but pay attention to avoid crowded places. At this time, you can share the same room, but be careful not to be too frequent or too intense, so as not to cause premature birth.
5. Don't eat crab, hawthorn, barley and other foods that are easy to cause abortion.
6. In April of pregnancy, the fetus becomes bigger and resists the mother's stomach. Some mothers will have stomach acid, and mothers should eat less and eat more meals.
7. Regular physical examination. More important examinations this month: prenatal examination, urine routine, Tang screening.
8. Exercise for one hour every day. Pregnant women can consume excess energy in the body, improve the productivity of pregnant women and reduce the probability of gestational diabetes.
After 4 months of pregnancy, she has left the "dangerous period" of 3 months before pregnancy. Placenta has completely replaced the protective function of gestational sac, and the fetus is more stable.
Compared with the early pregnancy, the pregnant mother's morning sickness reaction has gradually disappeared, and her appetite and mental state have also improved, so pregnant mothers can exercise moderately.
After 4 months of pregnancy, the fetal body length is about 12 cm, and the weight is about150 g. The leg length exceeds the arm for the first time, the fingernails of the fingers begin to form, and the joints of the fingers have begun to move. Playing umbilical cord is the baby's favorite game, and sensitive mothers can already perceive the baby's fetal movement.
The pregnant mother's uterus has exceeded the pelvic area in April. When lying flat, you can see that there is obvious bulge in the abdomen. Measure the position of about 7.5 10 cm below the navel by hand, which is the fundus. So I started to get pregnant after 4 months of pregnancy, but it was not obvious.
Precautions for 4 months of pregnancy: prevent calcium deficiency;
In the fourth month of pregnancy, fetal bone development began to accelerate. Pregnant mothers need at least 1000mg of calcium every day, of which about 300±500mg is for the fetus, and some calcium is for the placenta.
The best source of calcium supplement is milk or pregnant women's milk powder. Every 100 ml of milk can provide110/20 mg of calcium. In addition, sesame paste, shrimp skin, black fungus, small rapeseed and other foods also contain some calcium.
However, the calcium absorption rate in these foods is not high, and the calcium in vegetables also contains a lot of oxalic acid, which is easy to form stones. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women drink more milk, and if they don't drink milk, they should supplement calcium in time.
Prevention of gynecological inflammation:
After 4 months of pregnancy (13 16 weeks), the symptoms of pelvic and vaginal congestion will increase with the increase of estrogen level in the body, so that the leucorrhea of pregnant women, that is, "leucorrhea", will also increase.
The increase of leucorrhea is a normal physiological phenomenon of pregnant women. Usually pay attention to washing underwear frequently, maintain personal hygiene, be careful not to wash with irritating soap or chemical particles, do not wear tight underwear, and keep the vulva dry and breathable.
Normal leucorrhea is white, thin, transparent, colorless and tasteless. If there is obvious odor, or leucorrhea like bean curd residue or yellow color, these are all symptoms of gynecological inflammation. I suggest you explain the situation to the prenatal doctor in time.
Prevention of abdominal pain or low back pain:
After 4 months of pregnancy, the uterus has overflowed the pelvis, which is bound to pull the ligaments and muscle tissue near the pelvis, so that pregnant mommy may feel tenderness and tightness in one abdomen, and may also have symptoms such as backache caused by radiation near the lumbar spine.
These pains are caused by the enlargement of the uterus and are generally normal. You need a gradual adaptation process.
Of course, in addition, from now on, pregnant mothers should do moderate exercise, including walking or yoga exercises, which can increase the physical strength and endurance of pregnant women, and at the same time control their weight well, which can be more conducive to natural delivery and reduce the pain during natural delivery.
Prevention of iron deficiency anemia and pregnancy-induced hypertension;
After pregnancy, pregnant women's blood volume expands by 30%, and iron is diluted, which is easy to cause anemia symptoms. Therefore, from the fourth month of pregnancy, pregnant women should pay more attention to eating some iron-rich foods every day, such as Maoxuewang, pig liver, chicken liver and beef.
In addition, because the hormones of pregnant women change in the fourth month of pregnancy, it is easy to cause nasal congestion or nasal mucosal swelling or nosebleeds. It is normal to have mild symptoms, so be careful not to take medicine casually. If you continue to have nosebleeds, you should be alert to pregnancy-induced hypertension and need to seek medical attention in time.
In addition, the pregnant mothers who are pregnant for 4 months are reminded to attend the prenatal examination on time, 13 weeks +6, which is the deadline for NT+ serum index to be "early screening in Tang Dynasty". I stopped checking after 0/4 weeks of pregnancy/kloc-. I wish you a safe and good pregnancy!
After 4 months of pregnancy, pregnant women enter the second trimester. At this time, the uncomfortable early pregnancy reactions such as nausea, vomiting and fatigue will disappear, the appetite will obviously improve, and the abdomen will increase rapidly. Some pregnant women can still feel fetal movement.
This period is the fastest period of fetal growth and development. In the second trimester, the fetal length increased from about 9 cm to more than 30 cm, and the weight increased from more than 20 g to about 1000 g.
Matters needing attention in the second trimester: 1. Timely physical examination.
1 Once every 4 weeks, learn the knowledge of delivery for pregnant women;
Keep calm.
Happy spirit is conducive to the healthy development of the fetus;
Dress generously and appropriately
Weight will increase in the second trimester, clothes should be wide and suitable, and breasts will become full and round. Therefore, it is necessary to wear a bra with cotton and steel brackets of appropriate size;
4. Pay attention to supplementary nutrition
In the second trimester, the fetus grows and develops rapidly. Ensure the intake of various nutrients. Reasonable and balanced nutrition is the material basis for maintaining pregnant women's health and fetal growth and development. However, excessive intake will lead to an oversized fetus, which will make delivery difficult.
Six nutrients for pregnant women: carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, inorganic salts and water. Pay attention to the collocation of coarse grains and flour and rice in daily diet, eat well at breakfast, eat enough at Chinese food and eat less at dinner;
Prevention of anemia
Add iron-rich foods to the diet in the second trimester, such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, red dates, spinach, red beans, purple rice and peanuts.
6. Prenatal education
In the second trimester, pregnant mothers can give the fetus music, touch and talk, which can promote the healthy growth of the fetus and is conducive to intellectual development. Prenatal education should continue from the fifth month of pregnancy, and prospective babies should also actively participate in prenatal education.
Prenatal music: Play soft and comfortable music to make the whole environment full of warm and pleasant music sounds;
Language prenatal education: you can talk, tell stories and recite poems to your baby every day when he is moving;
Touch prenatal education: you can gently touch the abdomen with your hands to interact with your baby. If there are signs of premature delivery, don't do touch prenatal education.
When the pregnancy enters the fourth month, the discomfort in the early pregnancy gradually disappears and people will feel comfortable. Starting from this month, the baby begins to grow and develop rapidly, and needs a lot of nutrition every day to meet the needs of the fetus and the mother for nutrient storage and avoid the influence of malnutrition or lack.
Then why do you have a backache? It is because in the second trimester, with the increase of weight, the body burden becomes heavier, which leads to the back muscles pulling, so backache is a natural phenomenon. What should I pay attention to?
Exercise properly to enhance muscle endurance;
Don't keep a posture for a long time, adjust according to your physical condition;
Try not to lie on your back while sleeping;
Don't wear high heels and relax your muscles.
It is a natural phenomenon that vaginal discharge increases, which is the secretion of vagina and cervix. Normal secretions should be white, thin and tasteless. If the secretion is excessive and the color character is abnormal, please consult a doctor. It is necessary to change underwear frequently and pay attention to cleaning, otherwise it will be easily infected by germs and cause itching.
Pregnant mothers should adjust their mentality and maintain a happy mood. For all kinds of discomfort caused by pregnancy, we should realize that this is a normal physiological reaction. If it is not particularly serious, you should have confidence to persevere and avoid excessive anxiety. I wish every pregnant mother a healthy and happy baby.
In the fourth month, the fetus enters the second trimester. Its body length is about 16 ~ 18cm, and its weight is about 120g. It already has the appearance of human beings, and its internal organs and skeletal muscles are developing day by day.
Correspondingly, the pregnant mother's uterus will enlarge, the abdomen will bulge slightly, the breasts will change, the bones will slowly open, and the pressure on the visceral spine will gradually increase, which will easily lead to backache.
At this stage, prospective fathers and pregnant mothers should pay attention to:
1) The wife's figure began to be bloated and deformed, spots appeared on her face, and her mood inevitably fluctuated. The prospective father should be considerate and gentle, understand and support her.
2) It is best for pregnant mothers not to sleep in a soft bed. If the waist collapses seriously, it is not easy to turn over, which will increase the burden on the lumbar muscles. So the bed is a little hard, so you can choose a brown mattress bed and sleep more comfortably.
3) Chest pain may occur, so choose appropriate and comfortable underwear.
4) After four months of basic morning sickness, the fetus grows rapidly, and the mother needs a lot of nutrition intake, and her appetite begins to get better. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the intake of staple food, supplement various vitamins, and be comprehensive and diverse.
But don't supplement and consume too much sugar, which will increase the risk of gestational diabetes and macrosomia. Weigh yourself in time and adjust your diet.
5) When the uterus enters the abdominal cavity, it may squeeze into the stomach. If you feel nausea, acid reflux and fullness, you can eat less and eat more meals.
6) After the second trimester of pregnancy, prenatal examination is usually done once a month. In addition to the necessary routine examinations, Tang screening usually begins when the fetus is 4 months old to check the risks in the fetus.
Pregnant for four months, that is, pregnant 13~ 16 weeks. At this time, the fetus is still very small, but its development is quite stable compared with 0~3 months.
I'm four months pregnant. What are the precautions? After four months of pregnancy, most pregnant mothers' early pregnancy reactions will gradually disappear and will soon enter the most comfortable stage of the whole pregnancy. So what are the precautions for pregnant mothers this month?
In short, after four months of pregnancy, the fetus is basically stable, and pregnant mommy can temporarily relax and not be so nervous. Pay attention to timely physical examination and moderate exercise.
