At 28 weeks of pregnancy, expectant mothers enter the late stage of pregnancy. There are many issues that expectant mothers need to pay attention to when entering the late stage of pregnancy. They need to be careful and cautious in their daily lives, otherwise it is easy to cause premature birth of the fetus, especially for pregnant women with twins who need to pay more attention. What are the precautions for twins after 28 weeks?
1. Pay attention to sleeping posture
After 28 weeks, the mother of twins should mainly sleep on the left side while keeping her legs bent. A cushion can be placed on the legs to reduce pressure on blood vessels, make blood circulation smoother, and alleviate fatigue for expectant mothers.
2. Pay attention to the symptoms of abdominal pain
After entering 28 weeks, expectant mothers of twins will experience pseudo contractions, leading to abdominal pain. Generally, this pain will end after a few seconds, and it will recur after a few hours. The pain caused by pseudo contractions will not cause a feeling of heaviness in the mother's abdomen, and the symptoms are mild during the day. If the expectant mother feels a downward sensation in the abdomen at this time and the pain continues to worsen, premature birth or threatened uterine rupture may occur. Once this occurs, the mother should seek medical attention immediately and not delay the process.
3. Diarrhea occurs
If expectant mothers experience diarrhea at this time, they should take salt supplements as soon as possible to replenish the lost water, electrolytes, and potassium ions in the body. At the same time, they should pay attention to strengthening calorie supplementation and closely monitor the condition of the fetus to prevent premature birth.
4. Diet
At this time, mothers should eat more protein rich foods and consume moderate amounts of fatty acids.
5. Increase the frequency of production inspections
After entering 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is important to increase the frequency of prenatal check ups, from once a month to once every two weeks, and then to once a week at 36 weeks.
6. Avoid sexual activity
In late pregnancy, expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins should try to avoid sexual activity as much as possible to rule out the possibility of premature birth caused by sexual activity.
