The curiosity of expectant mothers is crucial for the fetus.
According to "Dr. Bei's Championship Secret," the expectant mother is the main character in prenatal education. When Dodo's mom opened the door, she found a visitor—her cousin Li Xi, who was a gynecologist. Lately, due to matters related to prenatal education, the young couple had troubled her quite a bit, so Dodo's mom was very enthusiastic towards Li Xi.
Li Xi asked Dodo's mom: "How is the baby's prenatal education going?"
Dodo's mom replied: "It's ongoing. All the plans were made by Dodo's dad, and I just follow them. Haha."
Li Xi seriously reminded Dodo's mom: "The mother is the main character in prenatal education. If you remain passive like this, the effect of prenatal education will be greatly reduced."
The curiosity of expectant mothers is very important.
Some people believe that becoming lazy after pregnancy is a characteristic of pregnant women, and it should be left alone. In fact, this is one of the major taboos in prenatal education theory.
The fetus can perceive the thoughts of the expectant mother. If the expectant mother can maintain a strong sense of curiosity during pregnancy, it will stimulate the fetus continuously, promoting the development of the brain neurons and cells. Conversely, if the expectant mother neither thinks nor learns during pregnancy, the fetus will also be deeply affected and become lazy, which is extremely detrimental to the brain development of the fetus.
Therefore, after becoming pregnant, expectant mothers should start with themselves, pay attention to observation in life, use their brains frequently, and pass on what they see and hear through sight and hearing to the fetus; strive for progress in work, dare to explore, and strive to create top-notch results.
During pregnancy, expectant mothers need to maintain a strong sense of curiosity and love for learning, have a rich sense of life interest, fully mobilize their thinking ability, ask why about everything, constantly explore new problems, and give good educational stimulation to the fetus. For questions they do not understand, expectant mothers can go to the library to look up materials or consult relevant experts.
A sound sleep for expectant mothers is beneficial for fetal development.
After becoming pregnant, the quality of sleep for expectant mothers is very important because the fetus inside the expectant mother also sleeps. If the sleeping posture of the expectant mother is incorrect, it may affect the quality of sleep.
The sleeping postures of expectant mothers and fetuses vary from person to person. It is generally believed that when an expectant mother sleeps, she should lie on her left side, with her legs slightly bent. This not only makes it easier to fall asleep but also prevents the fetus from moving too much.
During pregnancy, if the expectant mother can have a good quality sleep, the pituitary gland in the brain will secrete growth hormone during sleep, which is essential for the growth of the fetus.
In addition, growth hormones can help expectant mothers quickly eliminate physical and mental fatigue. Many expectant mothers had poor sleep before pregnancy, but after becoming pregnant, they became more likely to fall asleep. This is because the necessary hormones are released, causing natural changes in the body of the expectant mother.
Husbands can pour some "cold water"
Research shows that the fetus grows up while sleeping, and the fetus needs longer periods of sleep and rest. When a pregnant wife becomes overly enthusiastic about something, the husband cannot stand idly by. He should stop her appropriately, control the time for his wife, and remind her to pay attention to the feelings of the fetus. If the fetus becomes restless, the wife should immediately stop the prenatal education. If the fetus is stimulated excessively, it will not get enough rest, which will inevitably affect its growth and development.
The lifestyle of expectant mothers affects fetal development
The lifestyle of expectant mothers has a great impact on the fetus. Many expectant mothers do not pay attention to their lifestyle during pregnancy. Instead of regretting after the baby is born, it would be better to change the lifestyle of expectant mothers during the fetal period. The lifestyle of expectant mothers includes many aspects, such as diet, exercise, rest, housework, etc.
Many expectant mothers often eat too much during pregnancy, thinking they need to eat for two. However, they are afraid of disturbing the fetus, so they try to stay still. Modern families are well-equipped, and the calories consumed by expectant mothers doing housework are decreasing, resulting in unintentional weight gain and excessive weight gain problems.
At this stage, expectant mothers need to find things that can mildly exercise their bodies. For example, wiping the kitchen every day to keep it clean; changing bed sheets regularly. Exercise by expectant mothers can stimulate the skin sensation of the fetus, helping with fetal brain development. If the weather is good, expectant mothers can take a walk once a day, sending oxygen to the fetus' brain. This can not only stabilize their own emotions but also provide an opportunity to talk to the fetus.
The existence and conception of life are ways of nature's operation. The human body should best live in accordance with external natural laws. Many people think that the inside of the uterus is dark, and there should be no distinction between day and night. Does the fetus understand the rules of life? In fact, the fetus can feel the difference between day and night through the expectant mother. However, the lifestyle of rising at sunrise and resting at sunset seems difficult for modern people to achieve. Nevertheless, expectant mothers should at least ensure they do not stay up late. Night owl-type expectant mothers will give birth to night owl-type children.
The eating habits of expectant mothers affect the fetus
Studies show that dietary prenatal education will affect the eating habits of the fetus after birth. If the expectant mother has a poor appetite and is picky eater during pregnancy, then the newborn baby, even before having any behavior or cognitive abilities, will often show signs of lack of appetite, dislike eating, frequent spitting up milk, poor digestion and absorption, or even significant picky eating when starting supplementary food later on. Therefore, in order to cultivate good eating habits in babies, expectant mothers must establish good eating habits:
1. Expectant mothers should eat three meals a day on time, in fixed quantities, and at fixed locations. Expectant mothers should not rush when eating and should not be frequently interrupted by outside distractions. They should not skip meals.
2. Nutritional balance and diversity: Expectant mothers should try to obtain the nutrients their bodies need from food rather than by taking vitamin supplements. Since many nutrients have yet to be discovered, the food of expectant mothers should be diverse to ensure adequate nutrition.
3. Focus on unprocessed foods: Expectant mothers should maintain healthy eating habits and try to eat more raw foods, such as grains, vegetables, and fresh fruits. Cooking methods should aim to preserve the original flavor of the food, using minimal seasonings and avoiding junk food. Many children dislike eating vegetables and main meals but prefer cookies, candies, and hamburgers, which is a common concern among many mothers. Developing healthy eating habits early on is crucial. If babies can develop healthy eating patterns while still in the womb and continue to nurture these habits afterward, it is believed that the effort will be doubly effective.
Small knowledge during pregnancy
Expectant mothers should have "three fixed" meals
Three fixed meal times: Even if busy, expectant mothers should "return their mealtime to themselves." The ideal meal times are breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00, lunch at 12:00, and dinner from 18:00 to 19:00. The dining process should ideally last 30-60 minutes, with a relaxed pace and a cheerful mood.
Three fixed meal portions: None of the three meals should be neglected or combined, and the quantity should be sufficient. Each meal should account for one-third of the daily required calories, or follow an inverted pyramid shape—rich breakfast, moderate lunch, and light dinner.
Three fixed meal locations: Expectant mothers should develop the habit of eating at fixed locations. If expectant mothers hope that their future babies will eat attentively at the dining table, they themselves should eat at a fixed location with a warm and pleasant atmosphere, and minimize external disturbances.
The emotions of expectant mothers affect the fetus
Prenatal education does not simply refer to the fetus directly receiving education from the expectant mother, but mainly refers to the psychological state of the expectant mother affecting the growth and development of the fetus. The mindset and emotions of expectant mothers will directly affect the appearance, physiological functions, intelligence, emotions, and behaviors of the fetus after birth, and are closely related to the growth and development of the fetus.
Therefore, prenatal education should be carried out from two aspects: self-emotion adjustment of pregnant women and artificial stimulation of the senses. It advocates adjusting the internal and external environment of pregnant women's bodies, eliminating adverse stimuli to the fetus, and making the physical and mental development of the fetus healthier and more mature.
The cultural cultivation of expectant mothers affects the fetus
The literacy, manners, and sentiments of expectant mothers themselves will all have an impact on the fetus. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, the fetus already possesses auditory and sensory capabilities and can make certain responses to the words and actions of the expectant mother.
If the expectant mother repeatedly talks to the fetus during pregnancy, the fetus will develop a neural conditioned reflex, and the newborn will have some familiarity and memory after birth.
Conversely, the bad behavior and uncouth actions of the expectant mother will leave traces in the fetus' brain, which not only affects the growth and development of the fetus but may even lead to the child developing negative emotions after birth.
Warm reminder: Six new perspectives on how expectant mothers affect fetal development
1. Obesity in expectant mothers: prone to metabolic abnormalities, leading to malformations in the nervous system development of embryos;
2. Tooth decay or periodontitis in expectant mothers: prone to infections in the fetus, leading to congenital heart disease, low birth weight, or premature birth;
3. Iodine deficiency in expectant mothers: prone to affect thyroid hormone synthesis, leading to cretinism in the fetus after birth;
4. Copper deficiency in expectant mothers: prone to affect iron absorption and transport in the fetus, causing anemia in the fetus;
5. Manganese deficiency in expectant mothers: prone to affect bone growth and development in the fetus, leading to joint deformities;
6. Zinc deficiency in expectant mothers: prone to affect metabolism in the fetus, harming the brain development of the fetus.
