Only it is worth considering that pregnancy is not a disease, as some believe. Yes, there are certain rules, and they must be followed.

Yoga

However, this is fundamentally wrong - it is not possible, but necessary, to perform asanas (this is the position of the body, which provides a beneficial effect on the nerve nodes). Moreover, it is better to start from an early date. The only thing that can worry is which asanas should not be done during pregnancy?

And now you can go to what exercises it is undesirable to do, being in an interesting position.
What asanas can not be done?
Despite the fact that yoga has beneficialeffects on the body of a woman and helps to prepare well for the upcoming birth, there are a number of contraindications. In particular, it is better to refrain from exercises for expectant mothers who have certain diseases:
- Hypertension.
- Arthritis.
- Varicose veins

However, they can be performed in the presence of chronic catarrh of the respiratory tract, only extra caution is necessary.
А еще какие упражнения нельзя делать во время pregnancy? When diseases of the abdominal cavity can not take poses of a cobra, grasshopper or bow. And if there is any disease of the respiratory system, it is better not to hold the breath while inhaling.
Tattoo
What self-respecting woman does not want to always be beautiful? Nowadays, it has become fashionable to do a tattoo of eyebrows or microblading, so that facial features become more expressive and attractive.
However, a natural question arises here:can pregnant women perform such a procedure. The answer is unequivocal - no! Of course, this does not mean that, having done a tattoo of the eyebrows, a woman will thereby do one hundred percent harm to herself and her child. But many specialists, both gynecologists and cosmetologists, adhere to the same recommendation: it is better for pregnant women to abstain from such a procedure.
To understand why you can not do a tattoo during pregnancy, you need to figure out what is microblading and whether it is worth the future mother to experiment with her appearance.
The essence of microblading
The term "microblading" itself has Englishorigin and translates as "tiny blade", which very accurately describes the whole process. The formation of eyebrow lines occurs through the application of the smallest cuts, where a special coloring pigment is then introduced. After each hair is drawn separately, as a result of which the eyebrows look neat and, which is characteristic, quite natural.
The procedure is painless, and healingleaves not much time. The natural appearance of the eyebrows is provided just due to the coloring matter, and it is introduced into the subcutaneous layer to a depth of no more than 0.5 mm. It is worth noting that the work is done manually, and therefore the final result will depend on the professionalism of the master.
The reasons for the ban of tattoo
For some ladies, tattooing is the right tool.mask the burn or scar. And if during the usual period of life, according to the specialists, the procedure does not pose any danger, then during pregnancy it is undesirable. Why can not microbleying during pregnancy? For the most part, the ban on tattooing is caused by pain that a woman will experience.
In addition, the sensitivity of the skin of the future motherincreases substantially, and therefore the resulting pain can lead to bleeding. And if this is a later date, then the onset of preterm labor is not at all excluded. Due to the individual characteristics of the female body, it is impossible to predict how the mother will transfer this procedure.
А как насчет анестезии?The option, of course, is good, and cosmetologists use it during a deep procedure. However, caution should be exercised in pregnancy with any kind of painkillers. Only a gynecologist, registered with the expectant mother, has the right to prescribe anesthesia. Otherwise, the consequences can be quite tragic.
Кроме того, микроблейдинг выполняется с using a special paint, and its effect on the human body, in particular a pregnant woman, is still unknown. Therefore, many experts warn against carrying out a tattoo in order to avoid many risks. Every woman should make her own list, which cannot be done during pregnancy, where to include this procedure.
But if there is still a desire to become beautiful withusing a tattoo, it is necessary to consult in advance with a specialist, and with your gynecologist, and a beautician. Only it is worth considering that during the first trimester of pregnancy, the internal organs of the child begin to form. For this reason, this period in the life of a woman is the most responsible and risky, and therefore the conduct of some procedures is completely prohibited, including microblading.
Massage
Fatigue, swelling, and a feeling of heavinessfamiliar to every future mother. In addition, starting from the very first month of pregnancy, the emotional and physical stress increases substantially. Relieve massage will help relieve tension. However, in the case of carrying a child, not every kind of child will do.
First of all, it is worth understanding that massage forpregnant women are fundamentally different from the usual procedure. Moreover, it should be performed only by a qualified specialist with rich experience. Why not massage during pregnancy to non-professionals?
This is due to the fact that on the body of a womanspecial points are located. Their thoughtless stimulation can provoke miscarriage in the early period or premature delivery in a later period. Therefore, before enrolling in a course of massage, a pregnant woman needs to receive advice on this matter from her doctor.
Such dangerous areas include:
- heels;
- coccyx;
- pad under the thumb;
- Achilles tendon;
- sacrum.
In no case should massage the chestglands during the first trimester, as in most cases this is guaranteed to end in miscarriage! Breast massage can be performed only with the onset of 35-36 weeks of pregnancy, not earlier. At this time, the woman's body is preparing for the upcoming feeding of the child.
Something else about massage or what not to do during pregnancy ...
After conceiving a child's female bodyundergoing major changes - hormonal changes are reorganized, which affects almost all vital systems, starting with the endocrine and ending with the musculoskeletal system. This process should be carried out steadily, but improper massage or stimulation of prohibited (for the period of pregnancy) zones destabilizes it. And the result is already known to us.
Also, be aware of the existing contraindications of massage in relation to future mothers. These include the following cases:
- Skin diseases - allergies, eczema.
- Infectious diseases.
- Transition of a disease from a chronic to an acute form.
- Increased body temperature - more than 37.5 ° C.
- Severe puffiness.
- State of depression.
- The presence of purulent processes in the body.
- Running stage of varicose veins.
- Cardiovascular diseases.
In addition, massage is contraindicated in acute pain in the lumbar region. If a woman does not have all the above pathologies, then she can expect permission from the gynecologist.
Why not do hair removal during pregnancy?
For any woman, self care isis a natural procedure that she performs regardless of age and other factors, including pregnancy. Every mother wants to remain attractive, despite the new "status". Not the last place is the process of hair removal. Only hair removal during pregnancy should be carried out carefully and safely. In general, the procedure has no contraindications, however, there are some peculiarities and limitations. However, to get rid of excess vegetation on the body, not every way will do.
The safest of all methods to removebody hair is considered a disposable razor. It is suitable for pregnant women. But the situation is completely different with regard to depilatory creams. As a rule, chemical compounds are present in their composition, which can easily penetrate the mother’s blood through the small circulatory network, and then reach the fetus, which adversely affects its development, especially in the early period. By and large, a woman has a lot to do during an early pregnancy.
Какое-то время назад вынашивание ребенка perceived by many ladies as a disease. Fortunately, such an attitude to pregnancy has long been a thing of the past, and modern mothers now lead an active life. To do or not to do hair removal? Such a question can be puzzled by any woman. The answer, of course, is obvious, but you should choose the appropriate method. The following methods are not recommended to use.
Forbidden!
All pregnant women should refrain from the following methods for removing excess body hair:
- Electrolysis
- Laser hair removal.
- Photoepilation.
Electrolysis is the mosteffective way to remove excess hair. In the course of this procedure, a small discharge of current is directed to the follicular area. This leads to the heating of the hair root, which is seriously damaged and is no longer capable of further growth.
Only now it is strictly forbidden for pregnant women to do so, as the painfulness of the procedure can bring the uterus into a tone (and moreover), which in turn will cause a miscarriage.
Some people believe that laser hair removalin the position of a woman can pass, but only with caution. However, this should also be included in the list of things that should not be done during pregnancy. It is better to refrain from this procedure. The method is relatively painless, at the same time there is a certain danger - both in relation to the mother and the child.
The fact is that the hair follicle is destroyedwhen exposed to a laser beam with a high temperature. As a result, a woman can get burned or even stressed. What will come of it? Obviously nothing good!
As for photoepilation, this is a new technique,which is also based on the destruction of the follicle, only by means of a flash. As a result - the hair is guaranteed to stop growing. However, due to innovation, the effect of the procedure on the body of a pregnant woman and her child has not yet been studied. For this reason, it is also contraindicated for expectant mothers.
X-ray
Иногда беременной женщине врач может назначить x-ray examination. But then the question arises, is there a danger from exposure to radiation of this kind? As a unit of measurement, I am glad, and in order to inflict significant damage to the mother’s or the child’s body, it is necessary to have 10 rad. Fortunately, X-rays of modern equipment do not exceed 5 rad.
Why can not X-ray duringearly pregnancy? During the course of the study, the greatest damage is inflicted on the dividing cells. And throughout the entire gestation period, the cells of the tissues actively divide. Therefore it is better not to risk once again. The only exception when an x-ray examination is performed is an extremely serious condition of the woman.
If we talk about the harm to the child, then the woman is notit is worth worrying about the appointment of a tooth x-ray. To get 1 happy, you need to take more than 100,000 shots. At the same time, conducting a similar study of the urinary or digestive system is prohibited. In this case, the radiation has a great power that can provoke the development of many pathologies in a child.
However, this is true only for modernequipment, some medical institutions still have old devices, and now they are just recommended to be avoided. Good now they are rarely where you can meet.
Why it is impossible to do x-ray?
Like X-ray, fluorographycontraindicated in pregnant women, except in special cases. Irradiation has never had a beneficial effect on the human body, especially the child. In particular, it concerns the early term of pregnancy, otherwise the development of serious pathologies in the fetus will not be avoided.
In the first trimester, the child beginsto form internal organs, in connection with which cells actively divide. For this reason, the risk of not only the occurrence of various pathologies, but also miscarriage is very high. That is why you can not do fluorography during pregnancy.
Folk signs
Being in a position, some women, evenbeing educated, they are nevertheless susceptible to all sorts of superstitions regarding what is allowed during the period of pregnancy and what cannot be done categorically. Often these are grandmothers' advice, and they are sheer nonsense, nevertheless, sometimes there is in them a grain of truth, in some cases confirmed by medical practice.
What not to do during pregnancy? Folk signs say:
- Can not sew or knit. This is mainly based on the prejudice thatthe child will be strongly entwined with the umbilical cord. At the same time, needlewomen should remember that a long stay in the same position and without movement affects blood circulation. As a result, the child receives less and less essential micronutrients. In other words, it is possible to sew and knit, but harmoniously combining work and rest among themselves.
- You can not sleep on your back all the time - the child suffocates. Скорее всего, прецеденты были.In this position of the body, the center of gravity may shift and lead to squeezing of the vena cava. As a result, the blood flow is disturbed, and as a result it is for this reason that hypoxia occurs, and not as a result of a violation of the airway of the child.
- You can’t be with your hands up for a long time. The explanation of the signs is the same as above - childmay get tangled in the umbilical cord. In fact, the danger here is different - in this case, the risk of premature discharge of amniotic fluid or childbirth is not excluded.
- The next sign that you cannot do during pregnancy is connected with a cat, namely, a woman cannot play with her. It was previously noticed that in such situationschildren were born with severe pathology. Only with the onset of the 20th century it became clear that it was congenital toxoplasmosis, and the causative agent could be in a cat. Especially dangerous is contact with an animal in the first trimester. Microorganisms can get into the blood of the mother through scratches, and then reach the fetus.
- Do not tell anyone about the "position" in the absence of the abdomen. This belief has been around for many years, and among many nationsIt is believed that you can deceive evil spirits and avoid the evil eye. Experts in the field of psychology do not believe in damage, but support ancient knowledge. In the first trimester, when a wide range of people know about pregnancy, the woman’s state of mind can be aggravated. It is better not to dedicate anyone to this matter and calmly prepare for the birth of a child.
For the most part, the listed national signs that can not be done during pregnancy are justified.
Basically it is worth remembering this: to avoid negativity, and more to rejoice at the upcoming holiday. After all, what is a child for any woman, if not the long-awaited and desired gift of fate?
