Women with a history of miscarriage should pay attention to the following six points during pregnancy:
One, maintain a regular lifestyle
It is important to have a regular daily routine. For example, breathe fresh air in the morning and engage in appropriate activities. Ensure that you get enough sleep, at least 8 hours a day, and take naps if conditions allow. Avoid being too idle (such as oversleeping) or too strenuous (such as lifting heavy objects). Being too idle can lead to stagnation of qi, resulting in difficult childbirth, while being too strenuous can lead to weakened qi, resulting in fetal damage and miscarriage. Develop a habit of regular bowel movements to ensure smooth bowel movements, but avoid using laxatives.
Two, pay attention to personal hygiene
Change clothes frequently and take regular showers, but avoid soaking in bathtubs or swimming. Pay special attention to keeping the genital area clean to prevent bacterial infections. Wear loose clothing and avoid tight belts. Wear flat shoes on a daily basis.
Three, choose a suitable diet
Choose easily digestible foods, especially those rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, and meat. If you have a weak stomach or cold constitution, avoid eating cold foods such as mung beans, white fungus, and lotus seeds. If you have a yin deficiency and excessive internal heat, avoid eating foods that easily cause internal heat, such as rooster, beef, dog meat, and carp.
There are many folk dietary remedies that are effective in preventing habitual miscarriage and threatened miscarriage. Here are two examples:
(1) Cook 50 grams of lotus seeds and 50 grams of longan meat in a slow cooker, and add 100 grams of yam powder to make porridge. Start eating it after becoming pregnant, once a day. This is suitable for women with a history of vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, soreness in the waist and legs, and a pale tongue with habitual miscarriages;
(2) Take 3 pumpkin stems and 6 lotus pods, roast them until they turn yellow, grind them into powder, and take it in three doses with rice soup, finishing it within a day. This is suitable for women with threatened miscarriage of the blood-heat type, who experience fetal movement abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with bright red color, flushed face, dry mouth, irritability, and short, red urine.
Four, maintain a cheerful mood
Researchers in the field of obstetrics and gynecology believe that natural miscarriage is caused by excessive excitement of the central nervous system in pregnant women. Experimental evidence has shown that the functional state of the nervous system plays a decisive role in miscarriage. Therefore, it is important to maintain a cheerful mood during pregnancy, avoid various stimuli, and use various methods to eliminate tension, boredom, and fear, in order to regulate emotions.
Five, be cautious about sexual intercourse
Women with a history of habitual miscarriage should strictly avoid sexual intercourse within the first three months of pregnancy and after the seventh month.
Six, have regular prenatal check-ups
Regular prenatal check-ups should start in the middle of pregnancy to allow doctors to timely detect and manage any abnormal conditions, as well as provide guidance on prenatal care.
