Pregnant women take special care

When a nationwide lockout was imposed six months ago, it was suddenly the turn of people to be forced into a home. It was estimated at the time that about 3 lakh women would become pregnant during the lockdown and this estimate included Sujata. She was horrified when she had an unplanned pregnancy. He said it was not safe for pregnant women to go to the hospital during the coronal period. What should we do in such a situation?

The important thing is that on the one hand normal women get worried if they get pregnant during this time. Celebrities, on the other hand, are planning to take their families forward. Not long ago, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan announced that they would be building a cradle for the second time at their home.

While Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were happy to welcome their first child. Hardik Pandya and Natasha Stankovic are also looking forward to welcoming their first child. The funny thing is that social media has even given the name 'Corona Babies' to the children born in the Corona period.

Sujata admits that getting pregnant during the Kovid-17 epidemic is a matter of real concern. We are always concerned about the unpredictable guidelines of lockdown, especially the guidelines for pregnant women as well as the high risk of corona on women like us. Even the smallest action of ours is not free from the fear of corona infection. So women who get pregnant during this time are constantly worried instead of enjoying their pregnancy.

Expert doctors also agree with Sujata, saying that she has faced many cases in which pregnant women are surrounded by other members of the household all day and are afraid of contracting corona. Under normal circumstances a pregnant woman living among the elders of the household feels safe. But in the Corona period this situation has taken a U-turn. They further say that there are a lot of hormonal changes in the body of pregnant women. It increases their discomfort, especially during the first and last trimesters.

In addition, the fear of corona has now spread among these women, which has increased their anxiety many times over. Most pregnant women believe that they will soon be infected with Covid-12 and that their families will be at risk. Because of such worries, they often wash their hands. Some women's skin also gets worse because of it. Such anxiety can lead to other problems. To prevent this from happening, the pregnant woman and her husband should be prepared with facts and planning.

The gynecologist says that if a pregnant woman is infected with Kovid-12, there is no risk of infecting the fetus or the newborn during childbirth. According to one study, only two to four percent of newborns were infected by the mother. Most babies born during lockdown are healthy.

However, it should not cause the women concerned to become careless. He should also maintain a certain distance from other family members at home, eat a nutritious diet that boosts his immune system, get enough rest and focus on doing the necessary exercises. In addition to Vitamin C and D, folic acid supplements can be taken if needed.

Gynecologists are especially vigilant to ensure that pregnant women are not at risk of coronary heart disease. He says that instead of calling him to the hospital, we talked to him on video call to get information about his medical history, whether he has any disease in advance, his travel history, whether anyone in his family has contracted Kovid-12 in last 10 days, etc. Taking. However, they also say that some tests and investigations need to be done in a personal way. Especially in the first trimester. It is also important to have a sonography in the sixth or seventh week to find out the condition of the fetus. Apart from this, basic blood test, urine sugar test, thyroid test etc. need to be done in 11th to 12th week. Similarly sonography must be done during 11th to 12th week and 5th month.

Work from home side effects

Only go to a clean and reputable hospital for a checkup. They further say that doctors take care that the pregnant woman does not have to go out of the house frequently so that various tests are done in a single visit. The couple should register at the hospital where the delivery is to take place during the fifth to seventh month. Most hospitals offer online counseling to pregnant women if needed. However, if they find any problem, they should see a doctor. It is especially advisable to see a doctor at a registered hospital. The gynecologist may call for repeated checkups after the eighth month if he deems it necessary.

Many women become quite relaxed after childbirth. They stop wearing masks or maintaining distance with other members of the household. But this is their biggest mistake. She should wear a mask while breastfeeding or weaning the baby. Make sure the baby is not kissed by other members of the household. Only a certain person in the household except the mother takes care of the baby, and also to ensure that with adequate safety measures.
