What are the signs of an unexpected pregnancy? How to abort an unexpected pregnancy?

Unexpected pregnancy often catches many young mothers off guard. Should they keep the child or not? This is indeed a question worth exploring. Some people say that babies born out of an unexpected pregnancy are smarter, while others say that babies born out of an unexpected pregnancy are unhealthy. So which statement is correct?

Early symptoms of unwanted pregnancy

1. Stopping of menstruation

For female friends with regular menstrual cycles, if their period is missed, it is recommended to use an early pregnancy test to detect whether they are pregnant. If the result of the early pregnancy test is positive, it means that you are pregnant and you need to make a decision as soon as possible.

2. Nausea and vomiting

Generally speaking, around 40 days into pregnancy, a series of early pregnancy reactions will occur, among which nausea and vomiting are relatively obvious and common early pregnancy symptoms. If nausea and vomiting often occur in the early morning, it means that the possibility of pregnancy is very high.

3. Chest pain

When you experience chest pain, you are probably pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy, hormone changes in the body will stimulate the mammary glands, causing chest pain. At the same time, you will also notice that the areola becomes darker, larger, and the breast veins become more obvious.

4. Feeling sleepy

If you feel sleepy after your period is overdue, it is likely related to pregnancy. For example, if you feel tired during the day, fall asleep easily, or sometimes feel like you can't wake up no matter how hard you try, then you need to suspect whether it is related to pregnancy.

What are the early symptoms of an unexpected pregnancy? The above introduces four common early pregnancy symptoms, namely menstrual cessation, nausea and vomiting, chest pain and drowsiness. When the above symptoms appear, it means that the possibility of pregnancy is very high. It is recommended to use early pregnancy test strips or go to the hospital for a blood test for HCG to confirm whether you are pregnant.

Are babies born from unexpected pregnancies smarter?

There has always been a saying among the people that "babies born from unexpected pregnancies are smarter." Especially in recent years, idol dramas and romance novels have been exaggerating all kinds of "nonsense" about pregnancy before marriage, such as a mother's status will increase with her son, marrying into a wealthy family... But are babies born from unmarried pregnancies or unexpected pregnancies really smarter? Not necessarily.

There is absolutely no scientific basis for the claim that babies born from unexpected pregnancies (or unmarried pregnancies) are smarter. On the contrary, due to factors such as women not being well prepared before pregnancy, prospective parents not having pre-pregnancy checkups, and not being physically and mentally prepared, it is more likely to cause abnormalities in the baby's early development and more likely to give birth to problematic babies.

1. Are children born from unmarried pregnancy smarter?

As we all know, whether a child is smart is mainly determined by the following three factors:

1. From a genetic point of view, the key to whether children are smart or not lies in the mother.

The genes on the mother's X chromosome determine the degree of development of the child's cerebral cortex, while the father's genes have a more important influence on shaping the emotions and personality types of the offspring.

2. The mother’s cultural quality is closely related to eugenics and good parenting.

The higher the mother's education level, the lower the possibility of fetal defects. Early marriage and early childbearing, coupled with low cultural level, will make such mothers less mature in all aspects of their body and mind, and they will pay less attention to their children before and after birth and have less ability to educate them, which is more likely to cause physical or intellectual congenital defects in their children.

3. The family environment affects the intellectual development of young children.

In recent years, studies have found that in terms of language, most mothers with high environmental scores and IQs have high cultural accomplishments. This is because they not only require learning themselves, but also attach importance to their children's education and are willing to spend more time accompanying their children's growth.

Therefore, the folk saying that "children born before marriage will be smarter" is completely unscientific. On the contrary, unmarried pregnancy is more likely to result in the birth of problematic babies.

2. Insufficient preparation before pregnancy may affect the baby

The main reason for unmarried pregnancy is that the prospective parents are not mentally prepared. The arrival of the child will not only affect the parents' life plans, but also may not be the best for the baby. We all know that if you plan to have a child, you will definitely make various preparations six months in advance, such as regular life, quitting smoking and drinking, and supplementing comprehensive nutrition.

The sudden birth of a baby may be caused by the mother's greatest stress during pregnancy, or it may be the result of the father's drinking. Conception under these conditions poses a great risk to the baby's health. If the prospective parents conceive a baby after having sex after drinking, it is easy for the pregnant woman to have an abnormal fertilized egg in her body at the beginning, which will affect the smooth implantation of the fertilized egg and the development of the embryo. At the same time, alcohol can enter the fetal blood through the placenta, causing intrauterine dysplasia, abnormal development of the central nervous system, mental retardation, etc., which is called alcoholism syndrome.

Frequent smoking before pregnancy can lead to abnormalities in sperm and eggs. After pregnancy, the fetus in the pregnant woman's body is very likely to have intrauterine developmental malformations and slow growth. After the baby is born, he or she will have poor memory or memory disorders, which will affect the baby's normal development and future learning.

3. Pregnancy before marriage can lead to more negative emotions in pregnant women

At present, our country still has a monogamous system. If a female friend gets pregnant before getting married, she is likely to face the accusations or ridicule of public opinion, and will be in a state of mental stress all day long, which is very bad for the fetus in the belly. Long-term depression, anxiety, tension and uneasiness will have an adverse effect on the fetus through the nervous and endocrine systems, which will damage the healthy development of the fetus and be detrimental to eugenics. In order to avoid being seen by others, some female parents even take folk methods such as corsets and belly wraps to try to cover it up, which squeezes the fetus, causing fetal ischemia, hypoxia, poor growth and development, or malposition of the fetus.

Some unmarried pregnant young women, for fear of being laughed at or avoiding the supervision of the family planning department, hide at home all day during pregnancy, rarely go out, and are isolated from the outside world. Their normal activities are greatly restricted, and they cannot bathe in the sun or breathe fresh air outdoors for a long time, which prevents their pelvic muscles from getting normal exercise, which can cause dystocia, calcium deficiency in the baby, and decreased physical fitness and immunity.

On the other hand, because she is unmarried, she cannot get certain special care that normal pregnant women can enjoy after pregnancy, such as maternity leave, job care, etc. Her life lacks stability and regularity, and nutrition and rest are difficult to guarantee, which is very detrimental to her own physical condition and the healthy development of the fetus.

All these are not conducive to the eugenics of the fetus, let alone making the child smart.

Is it better to have a medical abortion or a surgical abortion for an unexpected pregnancy?

Compared with medical abortion, no instrument enters the uterus during medical abortion, so the possibility of infection after abortion is relatively small, and the possibility of endometrial injury is also small. During artificial abortion, the suction device must enter the uterine cavity and scrape out the attachments on the inner wall of the uterus. If the doctor is experienced, the endometrium will not be injured, but if the operation is improper, the endometrium will be damaged. The endometrium is like a "field". If the endometrium is scarred, the "seeds" may not have the soil to grow and develop in the future.

The key to having a medical abortion is to do it early, so people with regular menstrual cycles can find out immediately after pregnancy. The applicable time for medical abortion is in the early stages of pregnancy (39 to 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period). Before having a medical abortion, you must do a B-ultrasound examination. First, you must rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy; secondly, you must measure the size of the fetal sac. A fetal sac larger than 2.3 cm is not suitable for medical abortion. In addition, the entire process of medical abortion is relatively long. You need to take medicine at home for 3 days first, and then take the medicine to open the cervix in the hospital on the day of abortion. After observation in the hospital for several hours, the doctor will confirm whether the fetal sac has been expelled from the body. Another point to remind everyone is that there is a 5% failure rate for medical abortion. If it is unsuccessful, you will need to do an artificial abortion to remedy it.

The bleeding time after medical abortion is relatively long. If the bleeding continues for more than 1 week, you must go to the hospital immediately and ask the doctor for help. It is very dangerous to take medicine to abort by yourself.

In addition to considering future fertility issues and choosing medical abortion, it is also safer for breastfeeding women with a softer uterus to choose medical abortion. Women who have had cesarean sections have scars on their uteruses, and women with uterine fibroids may have changes in the shape of their uteruses. In these two cases, it is more difficult to perform artificial abortion surgery, so medical abortion can also be considered.
