What should we pay attention to when the test tube baby is due?
IVF means to cultivate fertilized eggs in the laboratory through assisted reproduction technology, and then transfer them to the mother's uterus to develop embryos. For families of IVF babies, the arrival of the expected date of birth means that they are about to welcome a baby with their heart in their hearts. At this important moment, here are four things to note.
1. Ensure the surrounding environment is comfortable
For IVF mothers, the arrival of the due date means that they are about to face the process of delivery. In order to ensure the smooth delivery, family members should create a comfortable, quiet and warm environment for mothers. It is very important to maintain air circulation, control the temperature in the room and provide a quiet rest space.
In addition, it is necessary to ensure that there are no potential hazards around the family, such as anti-skid floor mats, bed rails, safety sockets, etc. These measures can provide a safe environment and provide the best growth conditions for the upcoming baby.
2. Keep good nutrition
For IVF mothers, maintaining good nutrition is very important for the health of themselves and their babies. Before the expected date of delivery, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and take in enough protein, vitamins and minerals.
In addition, it is necessary to supplement sufficient water, maintain the intake of fruits and vegetables, and avoid excessive caffeine and sugar intake. Mothers can also consult their doctors or nutritionists to make proper diet plans according to their physical conditions.
At the same time, mothers should continue to take the nutritional supplements needed during pregnancy according to the doctor's advice to ensure the health of themselves and their baby.
3. Pay attention to body changes and adjust the amount of activity
With the approaching of the expected date of birth, there will be some obvious changes in the body of IVF mothers, such as enlarged abdomen, decreased appetite, leg edema, etc. During this period, mothers should pay close attention to their physical changes and communicate with doctors at any time.
In addition, before the arrival of the test tube baby's due date, mothers can properly carry out some mild exercises, such as walking, yoga or pregnant women's aerobics. These exercises help improve blood circulation and adjust body posture, but strenuous exercise and overwork should be avoided.
It should be noted that if there are any abnormal symptoms, such as persistent abdominal pain, bleeding or amniotic fluid rupture, the doctor should be contacted immediately for timely treatment.
4. Prepare for prenatal examination and medical treatment
When the expected date of birth is approaching, IVF mothers need to conduct prenatal examination according to the doctor's suggestions. These examinations include measuring the number of fetal movements of the baby, checking the opening degree of the cervix, checking the fetal heart rate, etc.
In addition to prenatal examination, mothers should also know in advance and be ready for medical matters. Knowing about the hospital near home, determining the best way of transportation, and preparing the documents and goods needed for prenatal examination and delivery can help mothers make arrangements in good order before delivery.
Through the above four aspects of precautions, IVF families can make full preparations for the expected date of birth and provide the best growth environment for the upcoming baby. The arrival of the expected date of birth is not only a period of tension and expectation, but also a wonderful time for families to look forward to together.
Summary
When the test tube baby is due, families need to pay attention to the following four aspects: ensuring a comfortable environment, maintaining good nutrition, paying attention to physical changes and adjusting the amount of activity, and preparing for prenatal examination and medical care. By following these precautions, families can ensure the health of mothers and babies, and have a safe and smooth delivery process.
