According to scientists, pregnancy only has a positive effect on the state of the female body, all thanks to a huge number hormones that are produced during these nine months and their effect on the state of the brain and nervous system... Childbirth has a rejuvenating effect on female body, the woman becomes more energetic, healthier, her eyesight, coordination and memory improve. But at the same time, after childbirth, the body must be given time to rest and recover, and frequent pregnancy may even be harmful.
Scientists have done a great job to calculate what the optimal interval should be between pregnancies, and came to the conclusion that if before next conception less than 1.5 years, then there is a great risk that the child will be born prematurely and with low weight, however the same can happen if after last pregnancy more than 6 years have passed. For example, as a result of the study, it turned out that 40% of women who became pregnant six months after giving birth gave birth to babies ahead of time and with low weight, and every expectant mother should know. Everything happens because in such a short interval, the woman's body simply does not have time to recover enough for the next birth.
After the conception of a baby, significant changes occur in the body, for example, a woman is tormented frequent urination during pregnancy, this, of course, is an unpleasant process, but there is no need to worry, because this is the rate of pregnancy. After conception of a child, the volume of circulating fluid in the body increases, which leads to an increased load on the kidneys. In addition, the amniotic fluid several times a day, and when the fetus increases in size, the uterus exerts significant pressure on bladder, which means that the frequency of urge to urinate also increases.
Most women suffer from this problem at the beginning and at the end of pregnancy. Physiologically, the female body is arranged in such a way that the uterus is located next to bladder, therefore, when in the first four months it begins to increase, the pressure on the bladder, of course, increases, then the uterus moves back and the urge becomes less frequent. And at the end of pregnancy, the head of the fetus presses on the bladder and mom often runs to the toilet. If a woman noticed that she rarely goes to the toilet, then it is worth paying attention to the amount of liquid drunk per day, perhaps it is necessary to increase water intake so that there is no urinary tract infection.
Frequent ultrasound during pregnancy may also be unsafe, but about this, scientists still argue to the point of hoarseness, expressing their assumptions about it negative impact on the fetus. Only one thing is known for sure, that after the study, the baby becomes restless, pushes mommy with his arms and legs. Some scholars argue that frequent influence ultrasonic waves lead to the destruction of cells in the nervous system, and even causes mutations. However, science is not standing still and every year new equipment is being produced to protect pregnant women and give them the opportunity to give birth to a healthy and strong baby.
V recent times there has been a steady tendency to give birth to the first or subsequent child in more mature age... This phenomenon is explained by social and medical reasons... Let's figure out how late pregnancy affects a woman's body. Consider important points preparation for a responsible process, especially the flow of gestation and childbirth. What are the risks for mother and child.
How late pregnancy affects the mother's body
In Russia, over the past decades, there has been a tendency to give birth to children after 30, 35 and even 40 years. In Soviet times, such brave women were called old-born and the attitude of doctors and society towards them was, to put it mildly, skeptical. In our time, there are still such doctors of the old school, but people and the situation have changed a lot and the opinion of others as a whole is gradually leaning towards favorable. Perhaps the influence of the Western tradition, where more than 50% of women have children well over the age of 30.
Setting in families to give birth in late age also has objective reasons. It is difficult to raise and educate children without a stable financial base. Therefore, young parents first strive to get an education, work, purchase their own housing, etc.
Pregnancy at any age for the female body is a powerful load. Modern doctors strongly recommend that spouses prepare for conception at least a year in advance, register on time, carry out all examinations and recommendations - all this will significantly increase the chances of a successful bearing. It is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to the question of how late pregnancy will affect the woman's body. It depends on many factors, for example:
- the general health of the spouses;
- heredity;
- microclimate in the family;
- psychological attitude;
- social environment, etc.
Positive points late pregnancy are expressed primarily in psychological readiness to motherhood. Women of age are conscious and responsible about the issue of having children and their health. Significant life experience will not allow during the period of preparation and gestation to commit fatal mistakes... And also with the birth of a baby, parents have long-term goals - to grow and adapt to the world of the child. It gives strength, health, extra years of life to the spouses.
American scientists conducted a study and found that childbirth after 35 years has a beneficial effect on the function of the female brain. Women have improved memory and learning ability, and in old age, the risks of senile dementia are reduced.
Mature women are more patient and relaxed about caring for, caring and raising a child The pluses of late pregnancy include the presence of a more or less prosperous housing and financial rear of the family. As a rule, by the age of 35-40, the spouses have sufficient stability when they can safely take up the upbringing of children. The relationship between husband and wife has gone through a long test of strength. The couple acquired worldly wisdom, patience, mutual understanding and others positive traits essential for full development child.
From a medical point of view, a woman's body rejuvenates during pregnancy due to the production of sex hormones. Nine months of gestation and lactation have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and hair, work internal organs, the risk of stroke is significantly reduced, menopause comes later and is less painful.
As with any phenomenon, in late pregnancy, some negative points, but they are rather relative in nature:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- psychological experiences;
- the occurrence of complications during pregnancy;
- lactation problems;
- a longer recovery period after childbirth.
Some of these points may be typical for young women in labor. The second and last points most clearly reflect mature pregnancy. Regardless of the type of nervous system, almost all women experience the gamut of the most different feelings and not always positive. Families who decide to have a child in adulthood will have to endure pressure from society, hostility, condemnation, which will cause a feeling of guilt before the child, overprotection, anxiety. Excessive parental anxiety can affect children as well. Therefore, it is very important to prepare for pregnancy not only with medical side but also with a psychological one.
The recovery of a woman after childbirth is a purely individual process. In adulthood, rehabilitation measures in the body are slower. The speed of reactions depends on many factors: health status, the number of births and breaks between them, the presence of abortions, miscarriages and other moments. For example, if a woman gained a lot during pregnancy extra pounds, then after 35 years it is very difficult to reset them.
Contraindications to pregnancy after 35 and 40 years
Since pregnancy is characterized by a powerful load on the body, in the presence of certain pathologies it can be fatal for a woman. The absolute contraindications for pregnancy are:
- oncological diseases;
- cirrhosis of the liver;
- severe form of diabetes mellitus;
- chronic renal, respiratory, or cardiovascular failure;
- autoimmune diseases.
For such diseases, consultation with the appropriate doctor is mandatory. Only a specialist is able to assess possible risks and help the woman make the right decision.
Features of the course of pregnancy after 35 and 40 years
In the XXI century, when medical technology amaze the imagination, it is possible to endure and give birth to a healthy child after 35, 40 years. Doctors believe that the risks of complications of pregnancy and childbirth in adulthood are high, but the younger generation is not distinguished by excellent health either. The first pregnancy is always harder to bear than subsequent pregnancies, since the body has no experience... And also if the break between children is long, then repeated gestation takes place according to the law of the first.
When the first or second pregnancy occurs at an advanced age, it is impossible to predict how it will turn out. Doctors, on the basis of anamnesis and various studies, can only make assumptions about the course of the gestation process, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
Preparation
If a decision is made about mature motherhood, then preparation for conception, ideally, should begin at least a year in advance. This includes the following activities for both spouses:
- healthy lifestyle - balanced diet, elimination of mental and physical stress, getting rid of bad habits;
- careful monitoring of health status - conducting research, timely treatment of identified or chronic diseases, reducing overweight, available physical activity;
- taking vitamins;
- consultations of narrow specialists, if necessary;
- conversation with a psychologist.
Active walks on fresh air remarkably strengthen the immune system, reduce psychological stress, increase vitality For a woman, the first step is to visit a gynecologist, who will take a smear for flora, collect preliminary information about reproductive health, and prescribe the necessary examinations. It is important to treat the detected inflammatory or infectious pathologies before conception, since the list of available drugs for non-pregnant women is much wider.
The second step is to see a therapist. As a rule, the doctor analyzes the woman's outpatient card. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe the following studies:
- general and biochemical analysis blood;
- blood for the determination of antibodies to viruses such as cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, herpes;
- Analysis of urine;
- ECG of the heart;
- blood for HIV and syphilis;
- hepatitis B and C;
- vaccination according to indications;
- blood group and Rh status;
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs and mammary gland.
If there are chronic diseases, they must be brought into remission. Particular attention should be paid to such pathologies:
- heart diseases;
- high blood pressure;
- impaired renal function;
- problems with blood clotting;
- diabetes;
- endocrine diseases;
- varicose veins.
The third step is consultations with narrow specialists, to whom both a gynecologist and a therapist can refer. It is important for a woman to have a healthy oral cavity and respiratory organs, therefore, consultations and treatment with a dentist and ENT are required. It is advisable to visit the offices of a cardiologist, endocrinologist, allergist, geneticist, man - urologist. Psychological counseling it is necessary with a high hostile attitude of society.
Careful preparation for the process of conception and pregnancy in adulthood significantly increases the chances of a successful bearing and the birth of a healthy child.
The course of pregnancy
The gestation process for each woman takes place individually. In general, a young body copes with the load more easily, but even in adulthood there is every chance to successfully endure and give birth healthy baby... Doctors warn that after 35, 40 years, pregnancy is unpredictable and the risks of various complications are high.
First trimester
The first trimester (1-13th week) is a very crucial period of fetal development... All vital organs and systems are formed in the child. The state of health of a woman after the conception takes place changes. Morning or 24-hour nausea, vomiting, frequent urge to urinate, exacerbation of smell, change taste preferences, dizziness, fatigue, pain in the lower abdomen, etc. - all these symptoms can worsen with age-related pregnancy. In addition, the risks of the threat of interruption are very high. It is important to register with antenatal clinic as early as possible, so that at the slightest hint of miscarriage, take all the necessary measures to preserve the baby. You may have to go to the hospital.
Mature expectant mothers are under special control by doctors. In addition to routine examinations, women are encouraged to undergo:
- prenatal genetic screening at 11-13 weeks for the detection of malformations: Down's syndrome, disorders in the structure of the neural tube, the anterior abdominal wall and others;
- blood donation for biochemical markers (hCG, PAPP-A, inhibin A, alphafetoprotein, estriol 3).
The subsequent tactics of action will depend on the results of these studies: a consultation with a geneticist and further examinations, or nothing needs to be done.
Second trimester
The second trimester (14-28th week) is one of the quietest periods. The child continues to develop, and the formed placenta protects the baby from harmful influences. At this time, for women after 35, 40 years, the risk of termination of pregnancy remains, as well as other pathologies ( low placentation, cystic drift, etc.).
At this stage, mature pregnant women are asked to re-undergo prenatal genetic screening. If necessary, a chorionic villus sampling procedure is performed or amniotic fluid to determine the chromosome set of the fetus. It is important to note that invasive diagnostics can cause miscarriage or intrauterine death baby. 
Screening tests have about 60-90% reliability of results, depending on the equipment and the doctor's qualifications
You should know that invasive methods diagnostics are carried out at high probability genetic abnormalities based on screening results are dangerous for the mother and fetus. A woman can refuse such studies, they are performed on a voluntary basis.
Third trimester
Third trimester (29-40th weeks) - the child continues to grow, develop and gain weight. The growing uterus compresses the adjacent organs. During this period, it is difficult for a woman to move, sleep, breathe. Due to this maternity leave issued from 30 weeks. The third trimester can be overshadowed by the following complications:
- gestosis;
- placental insufficiency;
- dyspnea;
- insomnia;
- constipation;
- varicose veins.
After 35, 40 years, the risks of complications increase. Gestosis is one of serious pathologies, which manifests itself through swelling of the limbs, protein in the urine, increased blood pressure... Depending on the severity of the symptoms, the gynecologist will prescribe outpatient treatment or send to the hospital.
Childbirth
Complications concern not only the course of pregnancy, but also generic process... According to the observations of doctors, contractions in mature women weak at long intervals. Due to the general aging of the body, muscles pelvic floor not as flexible and elastic as in young age... The risk of rupture of the birth canal and bleeding increases.
Question about the operation caesarean section in each case it is decided individually and does not depend on the woman's age. The doctor proposes a way to give birth to a child and it is conditioned anatomical features the body, the presence of chronic diseases and the location of the fetus before childbirth. These factors are practically equally manifested in both very young and more mature women in labor.
A caesarean section can be performed as planned, for example, against the background of high blood pressure and other pathologies. And also the doctor can make a decision urgently, during generic activity when he sees that a natural process is dangerous to the health and life of the mother or fetus. Medical statistics report that women over 35 are more likely to give birth 2-3 times using a caesarean section.
Natural childbirth is undoubtedly better at any age, especially in adulthood. Since recovery after surgery is rather difficult and lengthy, moreover, lactation is more difficult to improve.
Risks of pregnancy and childbirth after 35 and 40 years
The likelihood of conception after 30 years is gradually fading away. Each girl is born with a fixed set of eggs, the number of which gradually decreases from the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Female cells are not renewed and undergo the same aging as the whole organism. After 40 years, the number of ovulations per year decreases to 1–2, while in a young body it occurs monthly. Every year the ability to conceive decreases, but it still exists.
Pregnancy after 35, 40 years is under special attention doctors, because it poses some danger to the health and life of a woman. The division of risks for mother and child is very conditional, since one complication can be dangerous for both. Indeed, at the stage of gestation, the body of the mother and the fetus are interdependent.
For mother
Medicine identifies several possible risks for a mature mother:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- complications of pregnancy and childbirth;
- the risk of miscarriage is 33%;
- multiple pregnancy;
- gestosis;
- the development of diabetes;
- presentation or placental abruption;
- ectopic pregnancy development;
- the risk of oncology after childbirth.
Information about risks should be a reason for a woman to be more alert and careful. Do not neglect thorough preparation for the intended conception, strictly follow all the doctor's recommendations in order to replenish the statistics happy families who gave birth at a respectable age.
For a child
There are the following risks for a newborn:
- chromosomal abnormalities;
- lack of weight;
- fetal hypoxia;
- prematurity or prematurity.
The most frightening factor is considered genetic abnormalities(Down syndrome, Advance, autism, etc.). The phenomenon of this situation is not fully understood. Scientists suggest that the causes of abnormalities are cell aging, accumulated toxic substances in the body, and bad habits. According to other sources, it is known that children with Down syndrome can be born to absolutely healthy, young spouses.
The rest of the risks for the baby are the result of complications of pregnancy or childbirth in the mother. So, it arises as a result of a weak labor activity of a woman. Lack of weight in a newborn in most cases is caused by chronic or acquired diseases of the mother, lifestyle.

Opinion of doctors
Indeed, it is true that with age, especially after 40 years, the risk of pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications increases, premature birth, the birth of children with developmental disabilities. And there is no getting away from it. Therefore, in addition to prenatal genetic screening, all women at this age are offered to undergo chorionic villus sampling (up to 15 weeks) or amniotic fluid sampling (from 16 weeks) to determine the fetal chromosome set (karyotype). You need to decide for yourself whether you will carry a child or not. There is always a chance to give birth to a healthy baby, despite the high percentage of complications and other unpleasant facts. First of all, you need to quit smoking. Also, start taking folic acid and take it before 12 weeks of pregnancy. Be sure to get prenatal genetic screening at 11-13 weeks. There are publications about all this in the list of the pregnancy group (use the navigator). What will be the outcome of this pregnancy, no one knows, and no one can make an accurate prognosis, especially considering your previous problems. But there is no need to despair. It's important to think positively.

Each woman is individual in terms of reproductive health; not only age should be considered, but also a combination of other factors - the presence of concomitant diseases, bad habits, the number of pregnancies and abortions under 40 years of age. In theory, a woman is able to bear and give birth to a child before the onset of menopause (ie, up to 50–55, sometimes 60 years), but often young people cannot do this without additional reproductive technologies. Statistically the most favorable period for the birth of children for women is the age from 18 to 35 years, and it is assumed that the first successful pregnancy will be in the period 18-25 years. Therefore, for re-pregnant women over 35 years old, and for primiparous women over 25 years old, the term "woman in the late reproductive period" is now used (previously they said "age primiparous"). The age of 40 or 42-45 years does not appear in practice for obstetricians-gynecologists, a single approach has been developed for all pregnant women over 35 years old, a special attitude has been formed in terms of pregnancy management and laboratory examination... For all pregnant women aged 35 and over, it is compulsory genetic research and prenatal screenings(including invasive methods such as amniocentesis and chorionic biopsy) to identify possible deviations fetus. Regarding your question about the probability of birth, no healthy child a mother over 40 years old, then there really is a pattern: the older the pregnant woman, the higher the risk of miscarriage, genetic abnormalities and fetal malformations, premature and pathological childbirth. Therefore, any woman aged 35 and older must definitely approach the alleged pregnancy with full responsibility, examine her health as fully as possible before conception, get advice from a geneticist in order to reduce everything possible problems and risks to a minimum.

Prevention of unwanted pregnancy after 40 years
Given the fact that getting pregnant after 40 is more difficult, many women neglect contraception. But the chances of conceiving are not zero, so it is important to choose the right contraception.... It is best to discuss the method with a gynecologist, who will assess the state of health and advise the best option. Of the popular methods of preventing unwanted pregnancy, there are still:
- barrier contraception (condoms, diaphragms, caps, gels, creams, vaginal tablets and etc.);
- intrauterine device (IUD);
- oral hormonal contraceptives.
Each of the methods has its own disadvantages and advantages. For example, the IUD is contraindicated in inflammatory diseases uterus. The spiral provokes an exacerbation gynecological pathologies, painful and profuse menstruation. The condom is the most common method that protects not only from unwanted pregnancy, but also from genital infections. Birth control pills new generation have additional healing effect, but are characterized by a number of contraindications and will not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. On a case-by-case basis perfect option able to pick up a gynecologist.
In the body of a pregnant woman, unusual processes take place, to which she, even if she really wanted to, can never prepare... But it doesn't end there. After giving birth, we become even more nervous, irritable, aggressive - postpartum depression as a consequence of pregnancy.
5. There are pains in the back and joints
After childbirth, a woman's supply of vitamins and minerals that she has accumulated during pregnancy is significantly reduced. You may not have noticed that during labor during childbirth sprained ligaments in the wrist area. Agree, too discomfort in addition to those you already have. If only everything ended with stretching ... Unfortunately, at the site of stretching, some kind of incomprehensible formation or lump appears, which causes pain during physical exertion.
Here are some helpful rules to help you recover quickly and bounce back:
- Perform a set of exercises from the usual charging ( muscles are strengthened, the body gets used to physical activity).
- Do massage(Include the elements erotic massage, and you are guaranteed an unforgettable night of sex).
- Purchase one that will help to evenly distribute the load on the back when carrying your child frequently in your arms.
6. Various chronic diseases are aggravated
Unfortunately, pregnancy can be complicated by various chronic diseases... Especially diseases kidney and cardiovascular system.
Why does this happen? The answer to this question is very easy to find. The body performs double work during pregnancy:
- The kidneys excrete metabolic products not only of the mother, but also of the baby.
- The heart pumps twice as much blood.
- The liver transports several times more blood.
How can we help our body do all this work? Doctors recommend lie on the left side several times a day, since it is in this position that blood circulation is normalized.
7. Pregnancy spoils the figure
The undeniable statement is that the figure deteriorates during pregnancy, and only a very small percentage of women can boast of an excellent unchanging figure during pregnancy and after childbirth. Some people like recently purchased rounded shapes, but more mothers still want to lose weight and return to their previous forms.
How do I get my old shape back?
At first, do not panic and do not rush to extremes, since mother nature has laid down a mechanism for helping a woman. This mechanism is called breastfeeding. Interestingly, after nine months of breastfeeding, female the figure begins to get rid of unacceptable excesses on its own... The gradual cessation of lactation will save the breast from the appearance of stretch marks and sagging.
A physical education and fitness at home has not yet been canceled. 15-20 minutes a day is enough to start a grueling body renewal procedure.
And finally ...
I would like to express the painful ... The appearance of children is the most beautiful thing that can give loving woman to your spouse. But they are too difficult for us, there are very unpleasant consequences of pregnancy. And I hope that every woman, after reading this information, will find and learn for herself several rules, to save healthy skin, hair, teeth. In general, protect yourself from everyone undesirable consequences pregnancy.
After all, sometimes it is so difficult, looking at your reflection in the mirror and seeing a WOMAN, BECOMING A MOTHER, to turn around to your age and meet the numbers 20, 23, 25, ... And some are not yet 20. And each of us is experiencing a state of pregnancy after his own, but gives away bit by bit his beauty, youth and health, and gets HAPPINESS ...
Pregnancy is a physiological process in which a new human body develops in a woman's uterus, resulting from fertilization.
Pregnancy in women it lasts on average 280 days(40 weeks, which corresponds to 9 calendar months or 10 lunar months). Pregnancy is also usually divided into 3 trimesters of 3 calendar months each.
Early pregnancy signs
V early dates the diagnosis of pregnancy is made on the basis of doubtful and probable signs.
Doubtful signs of pregnancy- various kinds subjective sensations, as well as objectively determined changes in the body, outside the internal genital organs: taste whims, changes in olfactory sensations, easy fatigue, drowsiness, skin pigmentation on the face, along the white line of the abdomen, nipples and areola.
Likely signs of pregnancy — objective signs on the part of the genitals, mammary glands and when staging biological reactions to pregnancy. These include: the cessation of menstruation in women of childbearing age, an increase in mammary glands and the appearance of colostrum when squeezing out of the nipples, cyanosis of the mucous membrane of the vagina and cervix, a change in the shape and consistency of the uterus, an increase in its size.
You can preliminarily verify the presence of pregnancy at home using an express test for hormone content chorionic gonadotropin in the urine of a woman (the test is carried out from the first day of the delay of the next menstruation).
It allows you to confirm the fact of pregnancy.
Changes in the body of a pregnant woman
Numerous and complex changes occur in a woman's body during pregnancy. These physiological changes create conditions for intrauterine development fetus, prepare the woman's body for the birth act and breastfeeding of the newborn. Menstruation stops, mammary glands increase in volume, nipples darken.
Many pregnant women in the first trimester have nausea, sometimes vomiting - these symptoms are commonly called. Weakness, drowsiness, heartburn, salivation, taste changes, increased urination... These disorders of well-being are characteristic of a healthy and normal pregnancy.
Especially great changes occur in the genitals of a woman. The uterus increases with each, the blood supply to the internal and external genital organs increases. The tissues swell, acquire elasticity, which contributes to their better stretching during childbirth. In the mammary glands, the number and volume of glandular lobules increase, their blood supply increases, they become tense from the nipples. The amount of gonadotropic hormones, as well as estrogens and progesterone, produced first by the corpus luteum (a temporary gland formed at the site of the follicle from which the mature egg came out) and then, sharply increases. The hormones secreted by the corpus luteum (progesterone and, to a lesser extent, estrogens) contribute to the creation of conditions for correct development pregnancy. The corpus luteum undergoes reverse development after fourth month in connection with the formation of the hormonal function of the placenta.
For the management of pregnancy, it is necessary (after 3 to 4 weeks after a delay in menstruation), where the doctor examines and examines the external and internal genital organs, and if necessary, additional examinations are prescribed.
Genitals during pregnancy
Uterus. During pregnancy, the size, shape, position, consistency and reactivity (excitability) of the uterus change. The uterus gradually enlarges throughout the pregnancy. The enlargement of the uterus occurs mainly due to hypertrophy of the muscle fibers of the uterus; at the same time there is a multiplication of muscle fibers, the growth of newly formed muscle elements of the reticular fibrous and argyrophilic "frame" of the uterus.
The uterus is not only a fetus that protects the fetus from adverse external influences, but also a metabolic organ that provides the fetus with enzymes, complex compounds necessary for the plastic processes of a rapidly developing fetus.
Vagina during pregnancy, it lengthens, expands, the folds of the mucous membrane appear sharper. The external genitals are loosened during pregnancy.
Pregnant woman lifestyle, regimen, nutrition and hygiene
The developing fetus receives all the necessary nutrients from the mother. The well-being of the fetus depends entirely on the health of the mother, her working conditions, rest, the state of the nervous and endocrine systems.
Pregnant women are released from night shifts, heavy physical work, work associated with body vibration or adverse effects on the body of chemical. substances. During pregnancy, jerky movements, heavy lifting and significant fatigue should be avoided. A pregnant woman needs to sleep at least 8 hours a day. Walking is recommended before bed.
A pregnant woman must be carefully protected from infectious diseases, which pose a particular danger to the body of the pregnant woman and the fetus.
During pregnancy, it is necessary to especially carefully monitor the purity of the skin. Purity of the skin promotes the elimination of metabolic products harmful to the body through sweat.
A pregnant woman should wash her external genitals twice a day. warm water with soap. Douching during pregnancy should be administered with great caution.
During pregnancy, you should carefully monitor the state of the oral cavity and make the necessary.
The mammary glands should be washed daily with warm water and soap and wiped off with a towel. These methods prevent cracked nipples and mastitis. If, then you should massage them.
Pregnant clothes should be comfortable and loose: do not wear tightening belts, tight bras, etc. In the second half of pregnancy, it is recommended to wear a bandage that should support the abdomen, but not squeeze it.
The pregnant woman should wear low-heeled shoes.
It has long been noticed that pregnancy has a beneficial effect, both on the physical and on moral condition women. Doctors have identified a number of diseases that are partially or completely cured against the background of hormonal changes occurring in the body of a pregnant woman.
Pregnancy for a woman is not only the grace of God, but also a factor that has a positive effect on the health of the body. The fact is that the state of expectation of a child is associated with significant changes in the hormonal plan; these shifts lead to the healing of a number of ailments.
For example, pregnancy treats mastopathy - benign disease breast tissue. During this period, women increase the production of progesterone (a hormone produced by the ovaries), which affects the reduction in tumor growth or a complete stop of its development.
The positive effect of pregnancy on a woman's body.
Pregnancy has positive influence and the outcome of endometriosis, which affects about 10 percent of all females. This ailment is known for the occurrence of nodules in the uterus and ovaries. Its syndromes are cramps in the lower abdomen and bloody issues from the vagina that are not menstrual cycle... We have already talked about increased content hormone progesterone in the female body during pregnancy. It is this hormone that contributes to the partial or complete cure of the disease. Endometriosis can disappear without a trace if it was on early stage development.
Pregnancy heals migraine attacks too, the causative agents of which are the female hormones estrogens. Starting from the fourth month of pregnancy, the amount of these hormones in the woman's body decreases, and attacks of acute headaches come to naught.
A number of women whose first menstruation went late enough (belated sexual development), while carrying a child, they face uterine bleeding called ovarian dysfunction. However, after the birth of a child, hormones return to normal, and most happy mothers forget about gynecological dysfunctions. Unfortunately, women suffering from such disorders experience difficulties associated with conception and are often forced to turn to specialists for a special course of treatment.
Many medical scientists declare that in the process of fetal development in a woman's body such a protective system is developed, which contributes to the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. Experimental studies have shown that in 30-40% of cases, pregnancy and breast-feeding prevent breast cancer.
Future motherhood has a positive impact on state of mind women. After all, while waiting for a baby, any woman feels happy, complete, and most importantly confident that she is fulfilling the most important mission of her life.
