During the first five to six weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women may not pay much attention to themselves as they are not significantly different from ordinary people. However, as their belly grows much larger, pregnant women also begin to realize that they are already mothers. So, what are the precautions for 21 weeks of pregnancy?
1. Do not use the restroom for too long. By around 21 weeks of pregnancy, the mother's belly is already very large. When going to the bathroom, don't spend too much time, especially when squatting. Remember not to squat for too long. The longer the squatting time, the less free movement the baby can have in their belly, and it may also cause hypoxia in the child.
2. Prevent anemia. This is also a period of rapid development for newborns, so the baby in the belly will absorb a lot of iron from the mother's body. During this period, it is necessary to prevent anemia, and mothers in this area should eat more iron rich foods. The constitution inside lean meat, animal liver, and eggs is relatively high.
3. Prevent varicose veins. Some expectant mothers may notice varicose veins when standing for a long time every day, which is very severe. Therefore, when they are around 21 weeks pregnant, they should not stand all the time. Standing can also be very tiring. It is recommended to lie in bed and rest honestly. When lying in bed, they should raise their legs and place a pillow under their legs.
