Renata Ravich, naturopath: In fact, the prevention of miscarriage should begin at least a year before conception, when reasonable parents, like diligent hosts, prepare their bodies to receive the long-awaited guest. ?The health of the unborn child is closely related to the emotional and mental mood of a woman for a healthy pregnancy.

A. I. Zakharov in the book “How to Prevent Deviations in a Child’s Behavior” notes that the majority of children who were “not expected” (according to the results of questionnaire surveys) later developed anxiety neurosis, since the parents’ primary uncertainty that they want this child , to a certain extent manifested itself in the future in his self-doubt. No wonder that any healer, wise by experience and intuition, could determine by the appearance of an adult person whether his mother wanted to. Rejoice in the gift of Fate and do everything so that you do not have a miscarriage!

Emotionally, miscarriage prevention is also extremely important during pregnancy: joyful and confident expectation of a child, constant quiet conversations with him, greeting every push, gentle stroking of the abdomen by mother and father and older children - all this is vital for the future baby. Remember, according to the latest scientific research the unborn child hears everything, feels everything and understands everything much earlier than previously thought.

It is best to stop smoking, drinking, and certainly taking drugs.

Leading a healthy lifestyle for a year for both a man and a woman - isn't it easier than suffering all your life with a sick or handicapped child?

According to the latest scientific research, the excessive need for artificial stimulants (of which drugs, alcohol and smoking are the most common) is largely due to defective nutrition, when in the daily set of products drastically lacking amino acids, vitamins and microelements.

Therefore, my dear young women, if you really are - not theoretically, but practically If you want your unborn child to be healthy, try to change your daily diet for the better. Start using more not only natural products, but also dried fruits, nuts, flower pollen and honey (if there is no allergy), fresh and dry herbs, bran, sprouted wheat flakes, seaweed, be sure to connect high-quality natural biologically active food supplements.

We have already mentioned folic acid, vitamin E and B vitamins above. To prevent miscarriage (especially if this trouble has happened to you in the past), it would be wise to follow this diet for a year before conception.

Under modern environmental conditions, it is reasonable, in addition to food that is as close to healthy as possible, to take - especially for those women who live in big cities - high-quality dietary supplements based on natural ingredients, so read the ingredients carefully. What are natural ingredients? These are seaweed, green plant juice, germinated wheat oil, flower pollen, royal jelly, soy proteins and other gifts of Nature. They will help you avoid miscarriage.

It is extremely important to check on the annotation whether the natural multivitamins you are taking contain folic acid, since a sufficient amount of it is prevention various deformities in future children.

Especially need products containing vitamin E, which is main in the prevention of miscarriages. It is found in nuts, seeds, unrefined vegetable oil, nettle.

Especially a lot of vitamin E in germinated wheat.

Keep in mind that natural vitamin E, made from wheat germ oil, is ten times more effective, so don't fall for cheap synthetics.

It should be noted that during pregnancy, the daily intake of vitamin E doubles - that is, a young woman during this period needs at least 25 mg per day. Now we have wheat sprouts in the form of flakes in our stores. They can be added to cereals and salads.

American doctor V. Shota gave future fathers and mothers vitamin E for years before conception. In addition, both potential parents followed a diet with sufficient saturation of essential amino acids (i.e., ate enough protein) and natural vitamins. As a result, these same mothers, who previously gave birth to handicapped children or had miscarriages before, began to give birth on time and their children were strong and healthy.

Do not be too lazy in early spring to put a plate with sprouted wheat and sprouted oats on the windowsill so that they start green sprouts, as it has been done in Russia for centuries before Easter. Use scissors to cut these greens and sprinkle them on salads and vegetable dishes, as pregnant women are especially depleted in the spring (unless, of course, they are too lazy to follow naturopathic recommendations and they do not use natural dietary supplements). Put in jars to germinate not only onions, but also beets, dill, parsley. These greens are extremely beneficial, especially during the winter and early spring months when everyone is deficient in vitamins.

Plant the roots of dill, cilantro and parsley in flower pots; you can use boxes of soil or micro-greenhouses for a window garden, which are sold in Priroda stores. A window garden will provide a pregnant woman with all the necessary trace elements that help prevent miscarriages.

Let's hope that in your close-knit family there are men who can arrange such a garden, and older children will take care of the plants. Maybe it's best to start equipping Russia from your home?

Any person who is expecting a child dreams that he was born healthy. Unfortunately, these dreams do not always come true. Nothing can be done - even crumbs are prone to serious illnesses, to say nothing of all sorts of congenital diseases and disorders.

Many of them can be prevented by averting trouble from the long-awaited baby long before his appearance. And it is his parents who will have to take care of this first of all - as soon as they plan an heir.

Preparation for pregnancy begins even before conception, and it is a pity that many people neglect this. The modern way of life leads people to overload of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, chronic stress, irrational nutrition and physical inactivity.

Few people closely monitor their health, not noticing alarming symptoms for the time being; having many diseases in a latent or chronic form, you can affect the health of the unborn child in a bad way. This is especially true for residents of metropolitan areas. Huge cities, in terms of ecology, are not the best place to live.

Some rely on their own health, age, hoping that everything will work out and so - nature will help. Helps, but not always. Often, human nature is simply not able to cope on its own with the grave consequences of all sorts of shocks and stresses that are falling in our time on the life of an ordinary average person.

Examination before pregnancy

When planning an upcoming pregnancy, you should try to eliminate possible violations and deviations - not only in the external environment, but also in the state of health of both parents. There is no need to be ashamed of the examination before pregnancy, the main thing is to take care of the future little man.

First of all, the expectant mother should consult a gynecologist; Most likely, the spouse will also have an interview. In some cases, consultation with other specialists is required - it is important to assess the heredity of potential parents and assess their physical condition.

The greatest attention, of course, is paid to the well-being and health of the expectant mother. She will have to see a gynecologist, check for oncological diseases - an examination of the mammary and thyroid glands, a smear. The usual examination certainly complements the ultrasound, which is prescribed in the initial phase of the menstrual cycle.

Infections that threaten the fetus

A number of infections that can infect both mother and father often have a latent course and are the main cause of fetal damage, death, and the appearance of various deformities. Many diseases occur in a latent form, threatening to cause congenital diseases of the fetus.

All microorganisms and viruses are divided into unconditional pathogens that cause infection of the fetus, and conditional, whose pathological effect has not yet been proven.

More often the cause of the disease are viruses (cytomegalovirus infection, herpes simplex, rubella, hepatitis C and B, enteroviruses, adenoviruses, HIV); bacteria (treponema, streptococcus, klebsiella, chlamydia, listeria, staphylococcus); protozoa (toxoplasma, malaria, plasmodia); Candida mushrooms. Detection of microorganisms in the fetus does not necessarily cause the development of the disease, but increases the risk of possible negative effects. Even a woman who has been ill during pregnancy can have a completely healthy baby.

From mother to fetus, the infection is transmitted either through the genital tract or through the placenta. To infect a child, it is not enough to have an infection in the mother's body; there must be a large number of microorganisms; this happens with an acute infection or with a sharp exacerbation of a chronic one. But in this case, the child does not necessarily get sick.

Chickenpox

When in childhood we heard that it is better to get sick with other diseases before growing up, it was not very clear what we were talking about. But faced with pregnancy, many understand that this opinion is not without logic.

There are infectious diseases that occur almost harmlessly in childhood, but for pregnant women they turn out to be very dangerous. The disease transferred in childhood is accompanied by the production of antibodies, making the body immune to the pathogen and eliminating the possibility of infection in adulthood, especially during pregnancy.

Among other infections, chickenpox is potentially the least dangerous. It should be emphasized - less dangerous, but not completely safe. Firstly, this disease cannot go unnoticed, and a person almost always knows for sure whether he had chickenpox in childhood. Secondly, chickenpox is a childhood disease in 90% of cases.

Thirdly, its course is characterized by a low risk of embryo damage. Chicken pox becomes a disease dangerous for pregnancy if it occurs before twenty weeks of pregnancy, as well as before or after childbirth immediately.

But this does not mean that at other times chickenpox is not a reason to see a doctor. The risk may always exist, and only a qualified specialist can determine how best to minimize it.

A child is a gift from Above, a miracle of Heaven, given by the Lord God. With the advent of a baby in the house, everything around begins to spin at an incredible speed: breastfeeding, the first trip to kindergarten, school, etc. Therefore, every married couple dreams of kids. However, not everyone gets pregnant on the first try.

Some are forced to undergo constant examinations, procedures and take medications, but there is no sense in this. For what reason, pregnancy is not available to all women, we will not speak. But we will try to help in this problem. Prayer to get pregnant is one of the most effective options for stimulating pregnancy.

The problem of the inability to conceive a child

The problem of infertility existed several centuries ago. And, despite the fact that at present there are more and more childless families, infertility was known in ancient times. But if today this problem can be dealt with with the help of medicine (IVF, stimulation, etc.), then they did not even think about such procedures. To get pregnant, some used a conspiracy, others used folk remedies, and still others preferred to pray to the Saints, asking them for God's blessing for the speedy conception of a baby. For many centuries now, prayer to get pregnant has been popular among those couples who want to become happy parents as soon as possible. It has been uttered by millions of women in completely different times, and it has helped many to achieve their desired goal.

There were also prayer appeals for the birth of a healthy baby. Those parents who were already able to get pregnant resorted to their help. But first things first.

Prayer will help a woman get pregnant in the near future, if you follow the rules for carrying out acts of this kind, which we will talk about now.

We pray correctly

Praying mentally or in a whisper - everyone decides for himself. And if you come across reviews where people recommend saying prayers out loud, then this is all fiction. A person can address the Almighty in any way he wants, even out loud, even mentally. If you choose the right words, then the Almighty will hear you, even if you just mentally ask him for help. And yet, in order for prayer to help you quickly get pregnant, you must adhere to the following tips:

1. Before asking God for help, both future parents should confess in the temple and take communion. With a purified soul, your prayers will be heard much faster.
2. When pronouncing a prayer to get pregnant, and it doesn’t matter at all whether it is Muslim (Islam) or Orthodox, you should turn to the Lord not only on your own behalf, but also on behalf of the man from whom you want to get pregnant. It is good if your spouse himself expresses a desire to pray with you.
3. When turning to the Saints with prayer requests to speed up the process of conceiving a fetus, you need to find out as much information about them as possible so that it does not turn out that you are asking to get pregnant at the face of that Saint to whom people pray for repentance or the repose of the soul of the deceased. Therefore, it is very important to know who to pray to in order to get pregnant.
4. Sincere intentions will help you become happy parents faster. If you want to become parents by dry reading a set of phrases, then, unfortunately, you will not achieve your desired goal. Only sincere faith and the power of the Lord will help you find the happiness you ask for.
5. Prayer must be read consciously. Only sincerely believing people receive what they ask the Almighty for. And that you are going to turn to God for help, it is better not to tell anyone. Just believe in what you ask the Almighty. Your faith will be enough for the Lord to hear your prayers. And from evil tongues and thoughts it will only get worse.
6. Do not resort to the help of all the Saints with prayers, being in a negative mood. So, a prayer should be read only when a person can fully open up before the Almighty, getting rid of angry thoughts, resentment, anger and hatred.
7. Ask the Saints to give you good health, endurance and patience, thanks to which you can survive all difficulties.
8. First of all, you need to resort to the advice of qualified doctors who know what drugs are prescribed for infertility, and can also point out the causes of this kind of problem.

Prayers to get pregnant

There are a lot of prayers that can speed up the process of conceiving a fetus. We will consider some of them, which, according to the public, are the most effective.

We wish you good health, happiness and family well-being!

For a long 9 months you have been waiting for a meeting with your baby. And, finally, this long-awaited day has come. But the child is in no hurry to leave his first home - his mother's belly. How to give birth faster without harming yourself and the little one? This question interests many expectant mothers.

Acceleration of childbirth

Women want to give birth faster for various reasons. Some of them carried the child more than the allotted time and are worried about their own and his health, others are simply tired of their position. But, even if you are tormented by swelling, back pain and a large belly that interferes with normal movement, this does not mean that you can provoke the onset of labor whenever you please.

In order for the child to be fully formed, at least 38 weeks of pregnancy must pass. In addition, the body of the expectant mother must be ready for childbirth.

What methods do women stimulate the onset of labor?

having sex

Many people resort to this most common and pleasant method. It even happens that gynecologists themselves recommend using it. Sexual contact, of course, does not cause childbirth instantly, but thanks to it, the cervix is ​​\u200b\u200bflattened and softened. As a result, the period of contractions is reduced.

If a woman experiences an orgasm, the muscles of the uterus contract sharply. At longer gestational ages, this can be an impetus for the onset of labor.

A few tips:

• Choose a position so that there is no pressure on the stomach, as well as on the chest of a pregnant woman.
• Use special lubricants for sex. Since the female body during pregnancy is not set up “for intimacy”, the use of such funds will make intimacy more comfortable.

Having sex should not harm the baby if you follow these rules.

Nipple stimulation

The hormone oxytocin is responsible for initiating labor. Its production can be enhanced by massaging the nipples. Artificially produced oxytocin is used in gynecology to stimulate childbirth.

A woman can carry out this procedure herself or resort to the help of her husband. You need to knead the nipples very carefully and gently for 20-25 minutes. Spread your fingers with massage oil or regular baby cream. It is allowed to repeat the massage up to four times a day.

This method will not only help speed up the onset of uterine contractions, but also prepare the nipples for future feeding of the baby.

Physical activity

This method of accelerating labor requires special care. Pregnant women are forbidden to lift heavy objects, run, it is dangerous for both the woman and her unborn baby. Such actions contribute to exfoliation of the placenta. In anticipation of a child, you can, for example, clean the apartment, this is also a kind of physical education.

The future woman in labor should do not too intense gymnastics, which contributes to the overall support of the physical condition.

Food

There is an opinion that the use of certain foods helps to stimulate the birth process. And although this has no medical confirmation, some pregnant women still resort to this method to speed up childbirth.

What are these products?

• Any spicy dishes, including traditional Japanese cuisine.
• Olive oil. You need to drink it several times a day, a tablespoon before meals. The oil increases the elasticity of the perineum and cervix, which leads to an acceleration of its opening and reduces the risk of ruptures.
• Tea made from raspberry leaves. Tones the muscles of the uterus, small pelvis. You need to start drinking it after 34 weeks. Such tea drinking is widely used in American medical practice, the main thing here is not to overdo it, 1-2 cups of tea per day will be enough.
• Ginger, cinnamon and clove tea causes uterine contractions. You need to drink it from 39 weeks several times a day.
• Primrose oil, which can be purchased at the pharmacy. Release form - capsules. It is recommended to drink one per day. The oil from this plant contains fatty acids.
• Some drink castor oil. It causes indigestion, the intestinal walls are intensively reduced, thereby provoking the cervix to contractions.

Reception of decoctions, fees and oils from medicinal plants must be agreed with the doctor with whom you are registered. He will warn you about possible contraindications, adverse reactions and prescribe the correct dosage of the remedy.

Other Methods

You can speed up the onset of labor with a cleansing enema. In the process of enema, the back wall of the uterus is irritated and begins to contract, the mucous plug quickly leaves. This method is suitable for women who carried the child to the due date.

Some people benefit from acupressure. It is necessary to knead the point on the foot, which is located between the thumb and forefinger, as well as the upper part of the foot near the ankle.

Another very pleasant method is taking a bath and aromatherapy. But do not make too hot water, the temperature should not exceed 37 degrees. Inhalation of rose, lavender, jasmine or clove oil vapors has a beneficial effect on the development of labor activity.

Do not get carried away with the use of aroma lamps if you are allergic to oil vapors.

medical methods

When there are indications for inducing labor, doctors resort to the following methods:

• Amniotomy - the fetal bladder is opened, after which the body begins intensive production of prostaglandins. This procedure promotes reflex contraction of the uterus. It is painless and does not take much time. You can pierce the bladder only if the cervix is ​​\u200b\u200bready to open. Indications for this method: polyhydramnios and weak labor activity.
• The introduction of oxytocin or Enzaprost preparations into the vein, the required dose of which is selected individually. During this procedure, doctors constantly monitor the condition of the fetus by listening to its heartbeat.

The doctor's choice of stimulation method is based on the examination of the pregnant woman, taking into account the indications and possible risks. Do not self-medicate and self-administer procedures.

In the delivery room

When contractions appear more and more often, the woman is sent to the delivery room. The task of every woman in labor at this time is to do everything possible so that the birth ends as soon as possible.

Here are some tips on how to behave during childbirth:

• The most important thing is not to be afraid. A chilling feeling of fear will not allow you to relax and focus on the birth process. Without fail, you need to try to calm down and do everything in your power so that the birth ends faster.
• Give yourself freedom of action. What does it mean? A woman very often herself, with her body, feels what she needs to do at the moment in order to alleviate her condition during childbirth. It is worth noting that doctors do not approve of such amateur performance. Discuss this behavior with your doctor, or go to a private clinic that is more tolerant of "progressive methods."

It is necessary to prepare for the birth process in advance. Sign up for mum-to-be training courses that teach breathing techniques. This will help reduce pain and besides, proper breathing helps to accelerate labor.

Danger of post-term pregnancy

The term of bearing a child is 38 weeks, with a deviation of one to two weeks in both directions. After forty weeks, the baby is considered overdue and is in mortal danger in the mother's womb.

In addition, there is a whole list of complications that a post-term pregnancy causes:

• Oxygen starvation (hypoxia) of the fetus, since the placenta no longer provides the child's need for oxygen.
• Slowdown of biochemical processes in the umbilical cord and placenta also negatively affect the baby.
• There are problems during the passage of the child through the birth canal, due to hardening of the skull bones and an increase in the size of the fetus.

Plus, in such cases, women have very weak labor activity, the amount of bleeding increases, asphyxia (suffocation) of the fetus during childbirth is possible.

Drawing conclusions

If none of the suggested methods helped you, do not worry. Nature invented everything so that the child himself knows perfectly well when his time has come to be born and believe me, it will not depend on you. Try to switch your thoughts to something else positive and try to relax.

It happens that doctors make mistakes in setting the preliminary due date, so just wait. Well, if experts insist that you carried a child, then you need to trust them so as not to harm the baby.

The main factor influencing the full development of the fetus is, of course, genetic predisposition. You can't get away from her. Heredity is incorrigible and indestructible. Well, what is, and thanks for that! The only thing you should understand is that the probability of inheriting this or that feature is extremely high, but not always guaranteed. It is recommended to be examined before to identify all existing risks.

What is within your power

Since childhood, the expectant mother must take care of her health and moral character. The fewer sexual partners a woman has, the better. Ideally, if it will be only the father of the child. This reduces the risk of infections and sexually transmitted diseases. No need to supercool and sit in the cold, as well as lift weights at any age. The lumbar region should always be protected from wind and cold. You need to visit a gynecologist at least once a year, and preferably more often. If any problems are found, it will be easier to fix them at an early stage.

Before planning pregnancy, you should quit all bad habits: smoking, drinking alcohol, and so on. But in fact, the expectant mother should never have started smoking and drinking alcohol at all.

During pregnancy, try to eat what you want, but do not overdo it. If possible, give up fried, salty and sweet, as well as coffee and chocolate. Forget fast food for now. Do not starve, let your head leave the thoughts of all kinds of diets. Do not neglect the advice of a doctor, he wants to help you in this difficult task - bearing a child. Most importantly, try not to be nervous, during this period you should rejoice and enjoy life as much as possible. Stress, excitement and tension adversely affect the development of the fetus. Don't stress yourself out, relax and get enough sleep. Walk in the fresh air, listen to pleasant music, go to museums, to exhibitions, to theaters for kind, joyful and bright performances.

Advice 2: Can a woman who smokes carry a healthy baby

Smoking women at the stage of pregnancy planning are advised to give up addiction. It is more difficult for them to get pregnant, since nicotine inhibits the maturation of eggs, miscarriages occur more often, children are born with deformities and pathologies. All risks increase by about a third, so a woman who smokes is less likely to give birth to a healthy child.

Smoking in the first trimester of pregnancy

Most in the first trimester of pregnancy, when there is a laying of organs and systems. If the embryo was formed without serious pathologies and it was not rejected, the consequences of smoking can affect at 5-6 years. The child may have problems with the nervous system, he is less assiduous, restless. Often such children fall behind in school, and they need extra classes. One in five prenatal deaths are due to the mother's smoking. That is, 20% of miscarriages, including late ones, are due to smoking.

Negative effects of nicotine in the second trimester of pregnancy

If the child develops without defects and the ultrasound data confirm this, we can say that the mother is lucky. The older the fetus, the less negative effects nicotine has on it. All systems and organs are already formed, the child only needs to grow. The placenta begins to suffer, it no longer provides normal nutrition, it becomes thinner, areas of dead tissue appear. The child develops chronic hypoxia, less nutrients are supplied, and as a result, doctors diagnose intrauterine growth retardation. Of course, modern drugs and methods of treatment can minimize the harm from smoking, but they are far from always effective.

The risk of preterm birth, oligohydramnios and weakness of labor activity remains throughout the entire period of pregnancy. And although these conditions are pathologies of pregnancy, the child can also suffer. With a pronounced, for example, the bones of the fetus are often bent. In the third trimester, there is a high probability of late gestosis, which is fraught with placental abruption, emergency delivery and intrauterine fetal death. Complications in childbirth occur 2 times more often, in women who smoke, the uterus contracts worse, bleeding occurs more often during and after childbirth.

Negative consequences after birth

Four out of a hundred newborns need resuscitation on the first day after birth. In 30 children out of 100, complications and life-threatening conditions occur in the first month of life ─ without timely assistance, a fatal outcome is possible. In the first year of life, the risks of sudden infant mortality remain high. These children remain at high risk of developing diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis. There are more children among children from smoking women; other neuropsychiatric disorders are more often diagnosed.

If the child develops according to the norms, gains weight, his physical and mental development does not suffer, the smoking mother should still be more attentive to the child. She needs to make every effort to minimize the potential harm of nicotine in the future. Pay more attention to the health of the child, his development, teaching methods and a healthy lifestyle in general.

Speaking about potential risks, obstetricians regard them as a whole. A healthy woman who smokes and takes vitamins is more likely to give birth to a healthy child than a woman who smokes with pathologies of internal organs, who neglects proper nutrition and has other risks.

When smoking 3-4 cigarettes a day, the probability of giving birth to a healthy child is 80%, for women who smoke 6-10 cigarettes a day, healthy children are born in 60% of cases, for heavy smokers, the risk of having a sick child is about 90%.
