Conclusion

Introduction

Pregnancy is an exceptional time when you enter one of your most significant life stages and need to quickly assimilate knowledge and understanding of the process of pregnancy and birth. In the past, when women traditionally gave birth at home, cared for by midwives and female relatives, pregnancy and birth was a familiar event. Today, it’s unusual to have such firsthand experience and a woman’s knowledge of pregnancy and birth is often nonexistent or limited to that which she gained in her first pregnancy. As a result, many, if not all, women contemplate pregnancy with a mixture of trepidation and curiosity. These feelings are often compounded by the recognition that their own lifestyle choices can have an enormous influence on their own and their baby’s health. For all these reasons, there is a great need for women to be able to access information about pregnancy that is accurate, balanced, and accessible.

Most pregnancy books are written for women. Today many men also want to follow closely the development of their unborn child, but have little information and often feel excluded. Within the book, there are reassuring explanations for partners about the changes that occur during pregnancy as well as advice for women on how to include partners during pregnancy and the early days of parenthood.

CHAPTER 1 - WHAT'S SAFE AND UNSAFE?

During pregnancy, there are a few goods or lifestyle behaviors that pregnant women and their partners should avoid. Learn more about what's safe for your infant, from hair highlights to home paints.

Massage and acupuncture

While some complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and massage, are usually regarded safe during pregnancy, they should not be used at all times. Massages on the abdomen, for example, should be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy. Acupuncture is generally safe to receive while pregnant. Look for an acupuncturist who has had considerable training and experience working with pregnant women. Because certain acupuncture points cannot be utilized safely during pregnancy, inform your acupuncturist. It's critical to inform your doctor or midwife if you want to use a supplementary therapy. If you decide to use a supplementary therapy, you should always seek the advice of a trained professional.

Cats

Toxoplasmosis is a disease that affects most birds and mammals, including humans, and can cause major complications during pregnancy. Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a parasite that can be detected in cat feces, soil, or cat litter contaminated with infected cat feces. When you're pregnant, your chances of contracting toxoplasmosis are quite slim. However, if toxoplasmosis is contracted during pregnancy, the risk of miscarriage is raised, and it can result in blindness and brain impairment in the unborn child. Mild flu-like symptoms, such as a high temperature, sore throat, and aching muscles, are signs of toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis, on the other hand, usually has no symptoms. Toxoplasmosis is not frequently tested in pregnant women. As a result, it's critical that you understand how to avoid infection.

Cleaning supplies

Make sure there are no safety warnings for pregnant women on the labels of cleaning goods. Follow the safety instructions on the label while using cleaning goods, glues, paint, or any other household chemicals. When cleaning, make sure the room is sufficiently aired by opening windows and doors. Naphthalene is a chemical found in some moth balls and toilet deodorant cakes. Very high doses of naphthalene can harm blood cells, resulting in a condition known as haemolytic anemia. Fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea are some of the symptoms that might develop after being exposed to excessive amounts of naphthalene. If a newborn baby is exposed to naphthalene, they are especially vulnerable.

Exercise

It's fantastic to keep active and fit while pregnant, but make sure you check with your midwife or doctor first to make sure you don't have any health issues that prevent you from doing so. Try to do 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as walking or swimming, on most days of the week if there are no concerns. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight by:

help you relax

help you get stronger and fitter

Tan that isn't real

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a non-toxic chemical that combines with cells in the outermost layer of the skin to generate melanoidin, a brown pigment (color), is the active ingredient in fake tan. Because DHA does not penetrate the skin's outer layer, it is not absorbed into the body. It is OK to use fake tan lotions and creams when pregnant. It is not a good idea to get a spray tan while pregnant since you may inhale some of the spray, and it is unknown if this is harmful to the baby. Fake tans can also trigger allergic reactions in some people. Pregnancy alters hormone levels, making your skin more sensitive than usual. If you do decide to use fake tan, apply it on a small patch of skin first to see if you have an allergic reaction. Although some fake tans include UV protection, the SPF (sun protection factor) is usually poor. Due to the increased sensitivity of your skin while pregnant, you're more prone to burn, so apply a high-SPF sunscreen (at least SPF 30) and stay out of the sun as much as possible. Neither tanning tablets nor tanning injections should be used. Tanning pills include high levels of beta carotene and/or canthaxanthin, both of which have been associated to serious side effects, including eye and liver damage. Melanotan injections, which raise melanin in the skin, are not allowed for tanning by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and are considered a prescription-only treatment.

Food

When you're pregnant, there are several foods you should avoid because they could make you sick or harm your baby. Learn more about the foods you should avoid; we'll go over this in more detail in a later section of this guide.

Alcohol

During pregnancy, there is no such thing as a safe amount of alcohol. Whether you're considering a pregnancy, are already pregnant, or are breastfeeding, it's best not to drink because alcohol can harm your unborn child.

Hair color

The majority of research, albeit limited, indicates that coloring your hair while pregnant is safe. According to certain research, excessively high concentrations of the chemicals in hair colors can be harmful. However, these doses are enormous when compared to the small amount of chemicals used in hair dyeing. Many pregnant women choose to colour their hair after the first 12 weeks, when the risk of chemical chemicals damaging the fetus is substantially reduced. If you color your hair at home or work in a salon, you can limit your risk even more by wearing gloves.

Work in a well-ventilated room with the dye on for the shortest time possible.

Highlighting your hair by putting the color solely on strands of hair minimizes the chance of infection. The chemicals are absorbed exclusively by your hair, not your scalp or bloodstream. Henna, a semi-permanent pure vegetable dye, is a safe alternative. The usual condition of your hair can be affected by pregnancy. Colouring or perming, for example, may cause your hair to become more or less absorbent, frizzy, or unpredictable. It's
