14 myths about pregnancy

14 myths about pregnancy Most people have heard pregnancy-related advice or information, which often focuses on what different symptoms mean, how to tell the sex of the baby, and what a woman can and cannot do during pregnancy. Although some pieces of information, particularly those from healthcare professionals, can be accurate and helpful, lots of myths circulate pregnancy. Here, we look at some popular myths and explain the truth behind them.

Share on PinterestA person can speak to a healthcare professional about what to expect during pregnancy. In reality, the rate of teen pregnancies in the United States is slowly decreasing. Research suggests that this decline is primarily due to the increased use of contraceptives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, the number of recorded pregnancies for teenagers between 15 and 19 years of age was 194,377. This total is down 7% from 2016. Twin pregnancies are more common than people might think. According to the CDC, approximately 128,310 twin babies were born in 2017. Twins account for roughly 33 out of 1,000 births in the U.S. There is limited evidence to confirm whether this is true. A small study from 2006 found that 23 of the 28 participants who reported experiencing moderate-to-severe heartburn had babies with an average or above average amount of hair. The researchers suggested that this may be due to pregnancy hormones that affect both hair growth and the relaxing of the muscles that separate the esophagus, or food pipe, from the stomach.   People propose many different techniques for predicting the sex of the baby. These range from using the shape of the pregnant woman's face or belly to guess the sex to seeing how a wedding ring rotates when the woman suspends it from a string and holds it over the belly. None of these methods are accurate indicators of a baby's sex. While it is true that women may need to increase their caloric intake slightly when pregnant, they should avoid overeating. Overeating can be harmful to both the woman and the fetus, especially if the diet contains a lot of empty calories. Women should aim for a gradual increase in calories throughout the pregnancy: First trimester: No extra calories are necessary. Second trimester: Experts recommend an additional 340 calories per day. Third trimester: An additional 450 calories per day is the recommendation. Women should generally focus on continuing with their regular diet, but they should ensure that they are eating nutrient-rich foods. Most women should engage in light-to-moderate exercise during pregnancy. A woman who did not exercise regularly before becoming pregnant should talk to a healthcare professional before starting a new routine. According to one survey of obstetricians, or doctors specializing in childbirth, more than half of the respondents said that they do not usually recommend that women start a new routine if they were sedentary before becoming pregnant. However, 97% of the respondents reported recommending light-to-moderate aerobic exercise 2–5 days a week for women in the first trimester.   Despite its name, morning sickness can affect pregnant women throughout the day. Less than 2% of pregnant women experience morning sickness only in the morning. Morning sickness typically starts by the fourth week and ends by the 16th week. Pregnant women can eat foods that people often associate with allergies, such as nuts and milk, as long as they are not allergic to them. The baby will not develop an allergy to these foods. However, a woman should avoid some foods, such as raw meat, seafood, and certain soft cheeses, for other health reasons. A healthcare professional can provide more information on which foods to avoid. Learn about nine foods to avoid during pregnancy here. Sex has no effect on an otherwise healthy pregnancy. The authors of a review of existing research concluded that sex during pregnancy did not increase the risk of preterm labor in low risk pregnancies. They also noted that other potential complications remain unproven. In rare cases, a doctor will recommend abstaining from having sex during pregnancy. For instance, if heavy bleeding has occurred during the pregnancy or the water has broken, a woman should avoid having sex. Women who are experiencing placental problems, cervical insufficiency, or any other factors that increase the chance of preterm labor should check with a doctor before having sex. Learn more about how pregnancy can affect a woman's sex drive. Many women try to avoid coming into contact with cats during pregnancy because they have heard that cats can cause an infection. Cat feces can carry protoplasmic, a potentially harmful disease. As a precaution, therefore, a pregnant woman should either wear gloves to change the litter or have someone else do it. Women do not need to avoid cats during pregnancy as long as they follow this precaution.   Pregnancy can be difficult for many women. Hormones, body changes, and tiredness can take their toll on both physical and mental health, as well as affecting a woman's mood. It is normal for people not to feel happy all of the time, and pregnant women are no different. In reality, a woman may be able to have a vaginal birth following a previous cesarean delivery. The decision to give birth via a cesarean or vaginal delivery depends on how the current pregnancy is progressing, the woman's labor, and the risk of any potential complications. Most of the natural and alternative medicines that people recommend to induce labor have no basis in scientific knowledge. A 2018 study found that some herbal medicines may be effective. However, the popular natural methods that people use to try to induce labor vary in terms of safety: Blue and black coho sh: There is evidence to suggest that these roots may cause fetal heart failure and stroke, as well as maternal complications during labor. Pineapple: There is no harm in eating pineapple, but it may cause heartburn. Castor oil: This oil may cause uterine irritation and contractions, but they are often a result of diarrhea rather than labor. Spicy foods: There is no proof that eating spicy foods will induce labor. They can cause gastrointestinal upset and heartburn, however. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do not regulate herbal medicines in the same way that they assess standard medicines. As a result, people should discuss their use with a healthcare professional. Many myths surround pregnancy, some of which involve incorrect information or advice that may be harmful. A woman should talk to a doctor before making any significant dietary, healthcare, or lifestyle changes during pregnancy.   14 myths about pregnancy Read the full article

Depression during pregnancy: Symptoms, treatment, and more

Depression during pregnancy: Symptoms, treatment, and more

Depression during pregnancy:Depression is a widespread mental health condition. Pregnant women have a higher risk of depression due to increased stress, physical health changes, chemical changes in the body, and other factors. While estimates vary, a 2016 analysis suggests that between 7% and upwards of 20% of pregnant women around the world have depression. The actual rate could be higher, since some women may be reluctant to seek help. Depression during pregnancy can have emotional, health, relationship, and financial effects. Some people know this condition as prenatal depression. However, the American Psychiatric Association no longer use this term. Instead, they use the term major depressive disorder with peripartum onset. Depression during pregnancy is treatable. In this article, learn more about the symptoms of depression during pregnancy, as well as the treatment options and when to see a doctor.

Share on PinterestA person with depression may have feelings of isolation and low self-esteem. It is normal to feel a mix of emotions during pregnancy and about being pregnant. While a person with depression may feel sad, sadness is just one of many depression symptoms. Some other signs include: new or worsening feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness not enjoying activities that were once fun or meaningful withdrawing from friends, family, school, work, or hobbies new physical health symptoms, such as headaches or stomach aches trouble feeling excited about the pregnancy or bonding with the baby after childbirth feelings of isolation and low self-esteem trouble sleeping sleeping too much changes in eating habits, such as eating more or less than usual thoughts of death or suicide frequent crying unexplained anger relationship stress difficulty following prenatal health recommendations because of feelings of helplessness or hopelessness Suicide prevention If you know someone at immediate risk of self-harm, suicide, or hurting another person: Call 911 or the local emergency number. Stay with the person until professional help arrives. Remove any weapons, medications, or other potentially harmful objects. Listen to the person without judgment. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, a prevention hotline can help. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255.   Anyone can become depressed during pregnancy, though some people are more vulnerable. The authors of a 2017 analysis reviewed 5 years of previous studies on the topic and identified the following risk factors: previous history of depression little or no exercise not having a partner a history of abuse or trauma abuse by a partner feeling out of control smoking using certain drugs, such as opioids sleep problems immune system problems having an unintended pregnancy not having a job   Many women who experience depression during pregnancy have healthy pregnancies. Depression does not mean the baby will be unhealthy or make any particular pregnancy outcome inevitable. However, research suggests that depression during pregnancy may raise the risk of: postpartum depression depression in the baby's father premature birth low birth weight behavior problems or a difficult temperament in the baby changes in the baby's brain development A 2011 study emphasizes that untreated depression increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Prompt treatment can improve the outcomes for both the pregnant woman and the developing fetus. Many people find that they must try several treatments or a combination of treatments to get relief from depression symptoms. Some treatment options that may work include: antidepressants to manage the chemical changes in the brain that depression causes therapy to help the pregnant woman talk through emotions, identify coping skills, and getting support for the challenges of pregnancy support from friends and family family or relationship counseling to help expectant people talk about their emotions and manage the challenges of parenting lifestyle changes, such as doing more exercise, as long as it is safe during pregnancy support groups for expectant parents treatment for any underlying medical conditions   A handful of studies link antidepressant use during pregnancy to an increased risk of congenital disabilities. Some studies have also found an increased risk of premature birth and low birth weight. However, many studies fail to control for other factors that might explain these outcomes, such as worse health in women with depression or the effects of depression itself on the pregnancy. Additionally, some of the research is contradictory and inconclusive. The side effects are not consistent across studies. The risks of untreated depression may outweigh any potential risks of antidepressants. Research has found that 60–70% of women who stop using antidepressants during pregnancy experience a return of depression symptoms. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advise that the risk of side effects from antidepressants during pregnancy is low. The risk, they add, is highest in very early pregnancy—during the 3rd to 8th weeks. Antidepressants are not the only treatment for depression during pregnancy, however. Therapy, lifestyle changes, support from friends and family, and sometimes family or couples counseling are also good options. Most people use a combination of treatments. Some pregnant women prefer to try other treatments before choosing antidepressants. This strategy may work for some people, but not others. Anyone who is pregnant and suspects they have depression should see their doctor as soon as possible. Most obstetricians and midwives have basic training in detecting depression in pregnant women. They can also help a person decide on the right treatments and answer any questions they have about potential risks to the baby. To get quality, comprehensive treatment, most people need additional support from a mental health professional. A psychiatrist can help with deciding on the right medication, assessing the risk of side effects, and switching medications if necessary. A therapist, psychologist, or clinical social worker can also offer therapy and may recommend lifestyle or other changes to improve symptoms. Depression during pregnancy can be an isolating experience. Friends and family may have unfair expectations that pregnant women always feel happy and fail to recognize the many challenges associated with pregnancy and parenthood. Some women feel guilty or ashamed of their emotions or worry that depression means they are unfit for parenthood. Depression is no one's fault. It is a treatable medical condition. The hopelessness that comes with depression may convince a person that treatment will not work, or that they will feel miserable forever. These feelings are symptoms of depression, not a reasonable assessment. Prompt treatment is vital to relieve symptoms and to help a woman have a healthy and content pregnancy.   Read the full article

Having healthful being pregnant how to attend to your whilst you are pregnant Understanding Pregnancy   Throughout pregnancy, you and your infant could be happier, more healthy and saner in case you do the following:    Keep your blood sugar stage up with the aid of eating whole, wholesome ingredients and plenty of protein. Do this in small, common meals at some point of the day. Vary your diet as plenty as feasible.    Keep yourself hydrated. Plain water is excellent. If you are nauseated and might’t preserve water down, upload a spoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt to it. This will rehydrate you quickly and ease a good deal of your nausea.    Get masses of relaxation. Pace yourself. Take a 10-minute smash as often as you could. Take a nap earlier than dinner. Take a nap round lunch time. Go to sleep early and upward push as late as you could break out with. Get within the habit of grabbing bits of relaxation whenever you can-this may make parenting a new child an awful lot less complicated!    Stay confident in your body! Look for wonderful statistics about birth and being pregnant. Avoid the delivery horror tales human beings need to inform. Your frame knows a way to birth.

If someone has advice approximately what you absolutely need to do, take it with a grain of salt. There is not any one high-quality manner to give delivery for each girl. You can find your first-rate way, and you will have an simpler time doing so in case you listen approximately nice stories.    Hire a midwife. Even in case you suppose you won't be a candidate for homebirth or midwife-attended delivery within the health facility, it is good initially a midwife first. Why? A midwife will spend extra time with you early on, will provide you with greater records approximately nutrients and looking after yourself in pregnancy, and will come up with a confident begin to your being pregnant. If problems rise up, your care can be transferred to an OB if necessary.    Hire a doula. No remember wherein you're making plans on giving start or who your caregiver is, it is a good concept to have a person on your beginning team who is targeted mainly on the emotional and comfort problems of birth and does no longer have the obligation of clinical care. This way, if something happens that absorbs all of your primary caregiver’s attention, you’ve nonetheless were given someone supporting you to recognize the manner. A doula also can assist all of us at the birth to be extra at ease, even supposing there's a midwife doing most of the exertions help for mom.    When telling human beings about your being pregnant, take the professional due date and upload two weeks to it. This serves two features. One, it spares you a little of the put up-due-date syndrome in which your mother-in-regulation calls you the day after your due date and says, “Have you had that child but?” Two, it is more sensible! Normal being pregnant is among 38 and 42 weeks lengthy. First-time moms, on average, move 8 days past their “due” dates. This method that fifty percentage of first time mothers supply greater than every week overdue! Even with subsequent pregnancies, a majority of girls pass past the due date, with 3 days late being common, and up to fourteen days late being normal. Even longer pregnancies are possible-exclusive caregivers advocate handling “post due” in one-of-a-kind approaches.    Ask questions about your care. Whenever a test or system is usually recommended (together with ultrasound, blood check, amnio, and so forth.) you have a right, even a obligation, to ask questions. “What is this take a look at?” “Why is it important?” “What do we study?” “How do we use this information?” “Are there options?” “What are the feasible facet consequences of the take a look at?” “What are the results of doing not anything?”    Keep in mind that there are capacity facet outcomes to any test, such as ultrasound and blood checks.
