You carry under your little one's heart, every day it becomes more and more, the process of its development is so subtle that you do not want anything to interfere with it. That is why with such anxiety any morbid condition of the future mother is perceived. After all, when she is sick, the baby in the tummy is sick. The problem is further complicated by the fact that during pregnancy many of the usual "rescue tools" that are used in the ordinary state can not be used, so what to do if you are sick? Of course, hurry to the doctor .Conciliation is even more dangerous at the moment. Do not hope for a chance and the fact that "everything will pass." Do not engage in self-medication, especially since for a thousand "impossible" there are many tools available to a pregnant woman, and knows about them, of course, a doctor.
The noses are snoring ... Yesterday everything was fine, but today it sniffs treacherously, and snot streams from it. So they began to sneeze ... A typical picture of the beginning of the autumn cold. The mucous nasal first takes on a viral stroke. Unfortunately, you can grab the virus anywhere: in the store, in public transport, in the elevator, in the office ... Especially in the cold season. The first thing you need to do is call the doctor and stay at home on a sick leave. In your situation, it is not worth heroing and carrying a cold on your feet. Until the doctor came, more warm drink (mineral water without gas, green tea, compote, mors). Note that it is better if the drink is not too sweet. Give preference to sour. And in addition to a mug of warm drinking warm yourself: put warm socks on your feet. Note that in your position, you can not use vasoconstrictive nasal drops, which contain xylometasone and hormones - these substances are absorbed into the blood and cause constriction of the vessels not only in the nose, but also in the placenta, provoking oxygen starvation of the fetus. Cure with a runny nose will now help you with plant drops, homeopathic preparations. Often rinse the nose with salt water (sprays can be purchased at the pharmacy). However, we will repeat, the treatment regimen is prescribed by the doctor. For the future, as a prevention of colds, it is worth taking some measures. First, if possible, avoid a large crowd of people. Better not once again go to a party or to a store, than sniff your nose. Before you leave the house, brush your nose with oxolin ointment, it prevents the penetration of harmful microbes inside. Having come home or to work, the remains of the ointment should be removed with a napkin, and the nose should be rinsed.
How can my throat ache!
If the throat is locked, it's time to take action. It is also important not to let things go by themselves. You called a doctor and he prescribed medicine for you? Help yourself with additional means. As in the case of the common cold, organize a generous warm drink. Traditional warming soft drinks will now be very handy (tea with raspberries and honey, chamomile infusion, warm milk with honey). Do not forget about the lemon. Ask your husband to make you rub your back in the area from the shoulders to the shoulder blades with warming ointments, preferably child's. You can gently warm the legs. So, pour a little dry mustard into warm socks (half teaspoon). The future mummy needs to take care of sore throats and treat the throat at the first sensations of persecution. To slow down the rapid development of the disease will help sparing bed rest for 3-5 days.
Oh, my eyes water
The reason for such a plague, perhaps, is conjunctivitis. He often becomes a companion of the common cold. It looks deplorable: the eyes water, blush, itch, in some cases in the morning they hardly open. First aid in this case - rinse your eyes with drops of levomitsetinom (1 drop 2-3 times a day). I. Of course, it is necessary to make an urgent appointment with an oculist. By its nature, conjunctivitis can be not cold, but the most that is not allergic. However, it rarely happens that he appears for the first time during pregnancy. Another common cause of eye problems in the autumn-winter period may be barley. This is not just a cosmetic defect, but a purulent inflammation, so its appearance is also an occasion to go to an ophthalmologist. Please note that you can not open barley by yourself. Trying to squeeze pus can lead to the spread of infection through the blood vessels and end very badly. Do not, and heat the barley, applying heat to it.
Head, my head ...
Sometimes with a headache during pregnancy, even those who have never suffered from this scourge. Especially in the first trimester. This is due to the fact that in the female body there is an active restructuring, namely, the level of the hormone of pregnancy - progesterone - increases. This is because, in order to improve the conditions for bearing a baby, progesterone has a relaxing effect on the musculature of the uterus. And along with it the walls of blood vessels throughout the body, including the brain, are relaxed. Because of this, they are less adaptable to changes in the environment (atmospheric pressure, air temperature). In addition, the fluid is retained in the body. All this in a complex and causes a change in blood pressure in the mother, and with him comes a headache. What do we do? First of all, you need to re-examine your lifestyle in order to make it even healthier and more correct. Walk more in the fresh air. Eat well and do not forget about a healthy dream. Another cause of the headache may be stuffiness and too dry air in the room, which often accompanies the heating season. Often ventilate the apartment and get an air humidifier. Believe me, you will need it after the baby's birth. As for nutrition, you should reduce salt intake. Despite the widespread myth that future mothers are palled to salted cucumbers, it is better not to eat them. Salt retains fluid in the body. You will feel every cucumber not only with your head, but also with your kidneys. Separately, I would like to say that during pregnancy, you need to carefully monitor your blood pressure. In addition to the fact that it will be measured to you every time you visit a women's consultation, keep an eye on the pressure yourself. Especially if it's your naughty. By the way, the cause of headaches during pregnancy can be emotional stress. If, in spite of your special situation, you are experiencing stress, consult your doctor about the sedatives available to you now.
To see a dentist
Teeth can be sick, alas, and during pregnancy. And no matter how unpleasant it may be, they must be treated. Do not delay the trip to the dentist for the postpartum period, because a sick tooth is a hotbed of infection. Before you have an appointment with a doctor, you can rinse your mouth with infusion of chamomile or sage. Take into account that you can not take painkillers in your position. If the period is small, and the tummy is not yet visible, tell your dentist that you are pregnant. You now do not want to do x-rays. And before introducing an anesthetic that is available to you, it is desirable to make a tolerance test (the drug is applied to a small scratch on the outside of the forearm or dripped into the eye).
Something ate ...
Poisoning - a thing unpleasant and very insidious. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and bad thoughts: "Why is this happening to me ?!" Often the problem arises precisely because of the state of pregnancy, when the hunger can overtake at any moment.You already noticed this feature for a moment. A minute ago everything was wonderful, and then you sharply wanted to eat! Yes, it's so acute that try not to throw something into your mouth, as nausea and dizziness will begin.Here poor mums hasten to eat something quick, not always with clean hands and not always what is needed and To avoid such force majeure, get yourself you should always keep a bag of nuts or dried fruits in your purse for this case, and throw a pack of wet napkins into it.Take it, it will not hurt! And what if you could not avoid poisoning? Call a doctor urgently.Toxins that get into the blood, can not only seriously worsen Mom's well-being, but also create a threat of miscarriage.Driosis causes not only dehydration, but also triggers a mechanism of uterine contraction, especially in later terms. Do not joke with this, call an ambulance. And before her arrival, take 2 bags of Smectas and drink plenty of clean water without gas with small sips. If there is no vomiting, call it specifically not worth it - it threatens the tone of the uterus. As for recommendations for the future, remember "food for food." If you want to eat, avoid dubious establishments. It's better to take food from home (by the way, do not forget about the rules of storage and before lunch, send the container with food to the office refrigerator) than to eat by unknown people and as prepared ready meals Do not get carried away by exotic fruits, do not buy ready-made salads in the departments of cookery in supermarkets (often they dispose of all beginners to spoil the products in the store), do not experiment with new dishes and outlandish ones believe me, try sushi during pregnancy, if you did not do it to her, do not.You will have time, only a little later.Then ... Finally, I wanted once again to emphasize that any malaise of a woman during pregnancy - it's an excuse to go to the doctor.Do not be lazy to do it.Sometimes the most "trivial" changes in the state of health can lead to serious and unpleasant consequences. I'm not saying this to intimidate you, but to make you more cautious. Be healthy!
