1、 Balanced nutrition
Women who give birth at an advanced age need to pay attention to a balanced diet to ensure the nutritional needs of the body. The diet should contain various nutrients, such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals. Protein is an important component of fetal tissue. Fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein rich foods should be taken in moderation. At the same time, fat is also necessary for the development of the fetal brain. Eat some foods rich in healthy fat, such as fish oil, olive oil and nuts.
Carbohydrates are an important source of energy. You can choose whole grains, such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, etc. In addition, vitamins and minerals are also nutrients that cannot be ignored. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in these substances. Taking more dark vegetables and fruits can effectively supplement nutrients and enhance immunity.
It is suggested that women should avoid overeating during the period of old age childbearing to avoid overweight or over nutrition. Overweight may increase the risk of gestational diabetes and hypertension, while overnutrition may increase the risk of postnatal obesity.
2、 Folic acid supplementation
Older pregnant women should pay special attention to folic acid supplementation. Folic acid is a component of vitamin B group, which plays an important role in the development of fetal nervous system. Folic acid supplementation can reduce the incidence of fetal neural tube defects. It is recommended to start taking folic acid before pregnancy and take proper folic acid food or folic acid supplements every day.
Folic acid is rich in green leafy vegetables, beans, nuts and whole grains. In addition, since folic acid is easily damaged by heat and dissolved in water, it should be boiled for a short time with less water. Steaming or eating raw can better retain the content of folic acid.
3、 Moderate exercise
Moderate exercise is very important for the health of pregnant women and the development of the fetus. Pregnant women can choose suitable exercise methods, such as walking, yoga, swimming, etc., to enhance their physique and cardiopulmonary function. Exercise can also promote blood circulation, which is conducive to the development of the fetus.
However, strenuous activities and overwork should be avoided to avoid causing fetal hypoxia or other uncomfortable symptoms. Appropriate warm-up activities should be carried out before exercise, and rest and water supplement should be paid attention to after exercise. If any discomfort occurs, stop exercising immediately and consult a doctor.
4、 Regular prenatal inspection
Due to the special physical condition of the elderly pregnant women, they need to pay more attention to regular prenatal examination. Regular prenatal examination can timely understand the health status of the fetus, understand their own physical condition, and take appropriate preventive measures in time.
Regular prenatal examination should be carried out in professional hospitals, and experienced doctors should be selected for guidance and examination. Generally, the frequency of antenatal examination for older pregnant women will be higher than that of ordinary pregnant women. Doctors may suggest increasing the frequency of antenatal examination to better monitor the situation of pregnant women and fetuses.
Summary
The elderly need to pay attention to diet and conditioning, including balanced nutrition, folic acid supplementation, moderate exercise and regular prenatal examination. Balanced nutrition is conducive to the healthy development of pregnant women and fetuses. Folic acid supplementation can reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Moderate exercise can promote physical strengthening and fetal development. Regular prenatal examination can timely grasp the health status and take corresponding measures. When giving birth at an advanced age, pregnant women should pay special attention to their own health and the development of the fetus, seek medical advice and inspection in time to ensure the safety and smoothness of the mother and baby.
