The subway is a very convenient means of transportation in modern society, but in many big cities, the subway is extremely crowded during peak commuting hours, with a huge number of people taking the subway, which makes the air in the subway very polluted. Many pregnant women also prefer to take the subway for transportation. Some pregnant women feel dizzy and nauseous when taking the subway. What should they do? This article will tell you several bad coping strategies.
What should pregnant women do if they feel dizzy and nauseous while taking the subway
1. Pregnant women should immediately sit down or quickly adopt a supine position with their heads down in public places, unbutton their collars, and keep their respiratory tract clear. When experiencing severe early pregnancy symptoms and a heavy abdomen during late pregnancy, it is important to have family members accompany you when taking the subway, just in case.
2. You can press or needle the acupoint in the middle of the body. The Renzhong acupoint is located at the junction of the upper 1/3 and lower 2/3 of the Renzhong groove on the nose and lower lip, and can awaken pregnant women by stimulating them.
3. Pregnant women should bring some food in their backpacks when taking the subway, such as yogurt, dry food, chocolate, mineral water, etc., in case of emergencies. When they feel hungry, they should supplement them in a timely manner to avoid hypoglycemia.
4. Pregnant women who wake up after fainting can be given some sugar water, sit quietly or lie down, and avoid walking immediately to prevent falling again.
5. If a pregnant woman still experiences discomfort such as nausea, chest tightness, and high fever after waking up, she should immediately go to the hospital for treatment and monitor the condition of the fetus.
6. When a pregnant woman experiences brief fainting, it does not affect the fetus in the abdomen. But once fainting and falling occurs, there is a possibility of falling to the head or abdomen, which can be dangerous. Therefore, when falling, if you feel discomfort in a certain part of your body, or if the fetal movement is frequent or reduced, you should promptly go to the hospital and ask a doctor for examination.
Precautions for pregnant women taking the subway
Pregnant for ten months, expectant mothers cannot stay at home all the time and will definitely encounter situations where they need to take a car to go out. Pregnant mothers also have to go to work or occasionally go shopping. Some pregnant mothers choose to take buses or subways, which usually have strong vibrations and shaking. Moreover, traveling during peak hours can make expectant mothers worry about being squeezed into their stomachs or falling.
1. Try to avoid peak hours as much as possible
Pregnant mothers would have much better road conditions and fewer people if they avoided peak hours for transportation. However, if that's the case, you'll be late and your salary will definitely be deducted. But for the sake of the baby and my own comfort, I lost sesame seeds and picked watermelon, which is also worth it. Of course, if pregnant mothers can take the bus earlier, they can avoid congested traffic, avoid being late, and breathe fresh air, which is a win-win situation.
2. Move to live near the company
If the distance from the company to home is too long, taking the subway every day and changing to another bus is too tiring, and the cost of taking a taxi is also a lot, why not rent a house next to the company? This way, you can save the time on the road for rest time.
3. Seeking car owners to ride a ride
The commuting time is also the most difficult time to find a car. Pregnant mothers can post online to solicit car owners who live next to their homes, have similar destinations, and are enthusiastic about taking a ride with them. He offered you a ride with his friendship, and you sponsored the fuel money with your friendship. It was mutually beneficial and everyone was happy.
If you are a pregnant woman and feel dizzy and nauseous while taking the subway, you must be particularly careful and take the measures described in this article to actively cope.
