How to test pregnancy and precautions for pregnancy

Pregnancy in summer and childbirth in winter are very good time periods for pregnancy, but do you know how to test for pregnancy? Do you know the precautions for preparing for pregnancy? Follow me and let's learn how to test for pregnancy and what to pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy.

1. Pregnancy test.

2. Type B ultrasound examination.

3. Measurement of basal body temperature.

4. Home pregnancy test stick

5. Blood Test

1. You must supplement calcium before pregnancy

Calcium supplementation is necessary from the beginning of pregnancy preparation. If you find yourself with calcium deficiency, the best way is to take 600mg of calcium daily. Women who have weight loss plans can put it aside for now. This is because the amount of fat in women's bodies increases and decreases too quickly, which can damage the body's hormone levels. Kexin Parenting emphasizes that if a woman's fat mass does not exceed 18%, the secretion of estrogen will decrease. It can cause menstrual disorders and decreased bone density. Decreased bone density can cause hair loss during pregnancy and postpartum lactation, and brittle teeth. Women are also prone to osteoporosis after menopause.

2. Avoid eating fried foods before pregnancy

Fried foods are often eaten in our diet. They are colorful, tasty, and crispy, and are popular among people. These foods are processed at high temperatures, and the vitamins and many other nutrients in them are damaged, leaving very few nutrients. In addition, they contain a lot of fat, which makes them difficult to digest. Therefore, expectant mothers should pay attention to eating less of this kind of food.

Pregnancy reactions usually occur in the early stages of pregnancy. Fried foods can affect the appetite of expectant mothers, making early pregnancy reactions more severe. After the second trimester, the uterus continues to grow and the intestinal motility of expectant mothers decreases. Eating too much fried food can easily cause constipation.

3. Do not drink caffeinated beverages before pregnancy

Caffeine can excite the central nervous system and is a stimulant. According to relevant tests, 330ml of cola contains 30-50mg of coffee alone. If you drink more than 1g of caffeine at one time, it will cause excitement of the central nervous system, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, restlessness, muscle tremors, extrasystoles, dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus and other problems. If the intake does not exceed 1g, it will also affect the gastric mucosa, causing nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, pain in the precordial area and other problems. Relevant experts emphasize that caffeine is a substance that can cause changes in women's physiology, which can change the levels of estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies, and indirectly inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg in the uterus.

1. Tear open the aluminum foil bag along the notch and take out the pregnancy test stick when using it;

2. Put on the disposable plastic film gloves included in the box, hold one end of the handle of the pregnancy test stick tightly with your thumb, and tilt the end with the urine suction hole downward. Note that the observation side of the pregnancy test stick should face downward, and the plum blossom pattern should face upward;

3. Aim at the urine suction hole on the side of the pregnancy test stick and urinate, allowing the urine to pass through the urine suction hole, and maintain the urine collection time for 1 to 2 seconds (please note that urine should not wet the observation window when collecting urine! Otherwise, the pregnancy test stick will become invalid);

4. Then turn the pregnancy test stick over so that the observation window is facing upwards, and continue to hold the pregnancy test stick at an angle. When you see purple-red liquid crawling across the observation window, purple-red lines will appear on the observation window within 1 minute. The pregnancy result can be determined after 1 minute, and the non-pregnancy result must be determined after 3 minutes. The result determined after 5 minutes is invalid!

Pregnancy test sticks are accurate. First ask yourself whether you have had sex before, then check whether the pregnancy test stick has expired and whether it is used correctly, then test it again after a few days, and finally go to the hospital for a check-up. Generally speaking, the accuracy of regular brand pregnancy test sticks bought from regular pharmacies is about 85% to 95%. Before taking a pregnancy test, you must first clarify some issues. Ovulation occurs around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. If fertilization is successful, it will take at least 6 or 7 days for the fertilized egg to produce HCG. Pregnancy test sticks are judged by testing urine HCG, and it takes at least 11 days for the fertilized egg to implant.
