Ways To Ensure An Easy Journey During Your Pregnancy 


Want to enjoy your journey of pregnancy then you need to take special care on certain issues which needs to be put in check 

Smoking: You and your partner need to give up smoking, as the week's process. It is risky for the fetus developing, and one should also know that even passive smoking is dangerous to the fetus. So, smoking in pregnancy has been linked to premature birth and low-birth-weight babies and babies developing respiratory illnesses and it increases the risk of cot death.

Alcohol: Drinking alcohol can harm your baby. Usually, it has no safe limit, so it is best to stop drinking altogether. If you do drink alcohol during pregnancy the Department of Health advice is to limit yourself to one or two standard units of alcohol once or twice a week (one standard pub measure of wine, half a pint of cider, beer or lager) and NEVER binge drink (more than five standard measures).

Caffeine: The consumption of caffeine should be limited over 200mg of caffeine a day can increase the risk of low birth weight babies and miscarriage. There are certain food products such as peanuts, under-cooked eggs, and blue-vein or molded-ripened crust cheeses that can be very hazardous to the fetus.

Toxoplasmosis: There is a natural parasite that lives in unpasteurized milk and cheeses, undercooked meat, soil-grown vegetables, etc. There is only a problem if women become infected with it for the first time while you are pregnant and can cause miscarriage, birth defects, and stillbirth. There are several foods listed above, wear gloves to change cat litter, do the gardening or if lambing. Always cook meat thoroughly and wash all fruit and vegetables.
Prescription and over-the-counter medicines: One of the best things is to avoid all drugs during the first 3 months, unless they are for a pre-existing medical condition, such as asthma, and have been prescribed by your GP.

Abdominal X-Rays: The x-rays are used in radiation, which can harm your baby so they must only be used in situations where your condition is life-threatening. Dental x-rays are considered safe, but you must always tell your dentist you are pregnant.

Chickenpox And Other Viral Diseases: Most adults have had chickenpox in childhood and are therefore immune to the disease. In case the person gets caught of chickenpox during pregnancy there is a risk to both mother and baby. Viral diseases such as measles and slap cheek syndrome may affect your pregnancy and your unborn baby so always seek immediate medical advice if you have had contact with these.

Uterine Scar Rupture, the rarest yet most dangerous risk of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is when the scar on the uterus may split open (rupture) during labor stress. This comprises a full-thickness separation of the uterine wall also including the overlying uterine serosa. A comprehensive uterine scar rupture is a rare, but likely serious complexity, for both the mother and/or the baby that needs critical surgical interference. The Risk Associated With Uterine Rupture The risk for uterine rupture of 0.5% to 0.9% with a low intersecting scar has a uterine rupture throughout a trial of labor and 4% to 9% for ladies with a previous classical cesarean who labor. Hence, Women who have a low transverse cesarean scar have a more inferior risk of rupturing than women who have an upward incision scar. On occasions, the scar extends thin enough to cause dehiscence or lattice. This is also identified as a silent or half-done rupture or an asymptomatic division. In co...
