Risks in the pregnancy

Here we will inspect the risks that in the pregnancy are more frequent, many associates to the everyday life, therefore it is necessary to pay a lot of attention. To bear in mind these risks might mean well the well-being of the baby and of the whole family.

Risks associated with the nicotinism:

Until some years ago it was known that the cigaret was producing harmful effects to the baby, like the weight reduction on having been born. But today it is known that to smoke during the pregnancy brings a lot of complications risk, as for example: I embarrass ectópico (out of the womb), anomalies of the afterbirth, premature childbearing, congenital malformations, alterations in the immunity of the fetus.

And after born the baby, reverberates straight in his health: there increases the risk of sudden death, of respiratory problems, or of alterations of the behavior. The passive exhibition of the pregnant woman to the smoke of the cigaret, produces the same way harmful effects in the baby. For this motive, it is required not to smoke in your presence during your pregnancy, and later, when your baby has been born, neither they must smoke in his presence.

In the possible thing, if you are smoking, it is suitable that you do a treatment to stop smoking, before conceiving your baby. First, because it can slow down the conception, and cause problems in the implantation. And later, why when you find out that you are pregnant, will it have already spent several weeks of the conception, and you baby, it will have been exposed to the cigaret. Also it is very difficult to leave an addiction of one day for other, and this can provoke fault and anxiety to you. Provoking a vicious circle: since with more anxiety, more need to smoke, more blames, more anxiety, more cigarets.

Alcohol and pregnancy:

An alcohol dose does not exist sure minim, to itself that better you do not complete beer, liquors, wine, etc. It is verified that any alcoholic beverage during the pregnancy, provokes a high risk for the baby. The ideal thing is that you stop drinking as soon as you leave the contraceptive method. Since when the test confirms the pregnancy, you will take several days of gestation.

In case of not c have left the drink earlier, as soon as you confirm the pregnancy, it stops drinking. Up to a sporadic drunkenness just in an important moment in the formation of the embryo it might be fatal.

Remedies - dangers of the automedication:

In general the doctors dissuade many medicines during the pregnancy. As for example:
It was proved that the medicines prepared with acid acetilsalicílico or with ibuprofeno (anti-inflammatory not steroids) it is usually of risk for the pregnancy. How can it be that a little so common it causes risks? These medicines, which are used generally for the fever, for the inflammation and like frequent automedication for the pain, if they take in the period of the conception, or during a later week, can provoke neither more nor less than a miscarriage.

If you are taking psychotropic drugs, or medicines for some treatment, as for example to control the thyroid gland, leave them before looking for the pregnancy. Surely you will have to leave them under strict medical control specialist who is doing the pursuit to you. Of having remained pregnant while you were taking them, suspend them, and communicate it to your obstetra.

The vitamins, the iron, the acid fólico, or any other medicine or supplement account book, although you have listened, or read that are good for the pregnancy, do not take them without indication of your doctor.

Advices to travel in car during the pregnancy:

During the pregnancy, com is logical, there is not contra-indicated to travel in car - except medical indication in some case in particular. What yes, it is necessary to have certain care and to adopt certain accident control measures:

1 - If the trajectory is long. You must stop every two hours or less, if you need it, to stretch the legs and to rest.
2 - The car must have a good suspension. And it chooses routes without holes, which are in good condition. Since otherwise, the shakes and impacts might be dangerous for your baby.
3 - If your car has air conditioning, you will be able to travel at any time of the day. Otherwise, it chooses the first hour of the morning. From 20 to 22 temperature grades, and that the cold does not go straight to your body, it is the ideal thing.
4 - Leading long distances, can provoke stress. Also, in case of emergency, the reflexes can be slower during the pregnancy. And also on having driven, if there is an accident, you can bang your paunch against the frill. For which I advise you that your accompanist should handle.
5 - In case of feeling sick during the trips, do not take any medication for the sickness without consulting with your doctor.
6 - It is fundamental that you put yourself the safety belt.
In the first months of pregnancy you can place it in a conventional way. During the second half of the pregnancy, the top tape you must place it a t a height of the stomach, crossing the breasts, and the low one below the paunch. It must never cross the paunch, nor press it.
7 - If you handle, the frill must be at a 25 centimeters minimal distance between the breast and the frill, which must not be faced to the belly.

Trips in plane:

Nowadays the cabins of the planes are pressurized, for which the oxygen reduction in the same one is minimal. The same does not happen in the private planes or light aircrafts.

For this motive, the doctors do not dissuade the flights in line planes, unless you are already nearby to the date of childbearing. The same way, the air companies do not allow the flight to pregnant women with date near to the childbearing. And of allowing it, they demand a certificate of your doctor, which it will untie from responsibility to the company of any possible problem.

The cases that the doctor dissuades the flight are usually:

Moms with chronic hypertension, a preclampsia or toxemia, a diabetes, a multiple pregnancy, a RH incompatibility, or that the fetus has a delay in his development.

If the trip is long, it is convenient that you do every 1 or 2 hours a walk for the corridor, to stretch the legs. If there is some free seat next to yours, have a short rest on the left side, to avoid to compress the vein dig low, that is the manager of gathering the blood of the extremities and taking it to the heart.

Also I advise you to take comfortable footwear, or to take in the handbag comfortable slippers. You can put yourself during the trip, come up of compression, special for pregnant woman. In fact there are a few called averages of stewardess, which serve to improve the venous comeback and to avoid the distension of the legs.

If you can, every so much raise the legs, put a purse in the apartment, or books and magazines, and support there the legs. The teams of safety of the airports usually have metal detectors cabins, these teams are magnetic fields that act by means of radiations not ionizantes (the ionizantes are those that the teams of x-rays express), this means that they do not imply risk for the baby. Any way you have the right to ask feminine personnel to check you, if you prefer it instead of spending for the cabin metal detector.

X-rays during the pregnancy:

Recent studies have demonstrated that the maximum acceptable x-rays dose during the pregnancy is 50 mSv. This dose can be present in studies like: radiographies of womb or bladder, small intestine or those of colon for enema, as well as some angiografías and the urogramas excretores (like the pielografías or simply you X-ray of kidney and uréter).

If for example, you break a leg or arm, and they have to do a radiography to you; or if a son of yours needs that it is present while they take a radiography to him, in both I marry the x-rays dose, it will be 20 mSv. The same way, you can ask, also in both cases that should put a lead apron to you, for better protection, especially for your calmness.

The studies of nuclear medical diagnostic type, like the investigation of the gland thyroid gland, with radioactive iodine, the safety dose is of 5mSv. The dental radiological studies, with the lead apron, can be done perfectly. Bear in mind that it is more worrying for the course of your pregnancy, that you have a dental infectious focus.
