Fetal life links

When many around 1 year old baby in the bath, often interest to his navel, slightly larger babies even asked her mother: \"why a small hole on the stomach, what is it? \"Mother often say:\" the belly of a small hole is called a navel, when your mother belly when it\'s your mouth. \"It is not a Word, importance of navel in fetal period. In fact, the navel is the period of fetal umbilical cord \"remnants\", the umbilical cord is the womb of medium and small babies thrive \"meritorious officials.\"

Baby lives in fully enclosed within the uterine cavity full of amniotic fluid, far from being drowned, but growing up day by day, is the umbilical cord through this life link to \"eat\" and \"breath\". If you compared the placenta to provide nourishment of warehouse, then the cord is a transport, baby through this in detail long tie and mother are closely linked, Exchange material and, through it, and mother.

Umbilical cord attached to one end of fetal umbilical cord round the abdominal wall, Central or partial placenta attached at the other end to one side. Umbilical cord within has a section tube cavity larger, and tube wall more thin of vascular, called umbilical vein, it to from Yu mother, rich oxygen and nutrition material of fresh notes conveying to baby, for its growth development need; umbilical cord within also has 2 section vascular revolve around in umbilical vein around, it of tube cavity smaller, and tube wall more thick, called umbilical artery, take with will baby General metabolism of waste to the mother discharge of task. Bread out of the three vessels around is a translucent substrate, water content-rich, and contains a lot of collagen and elastic fibers, which keep the umbilical cord blood flow in smooth. Notes in the umbilical cord to speed the flow of 6,436 m per hour, that is, blood in the umbilical cord and the fetus as a whole body of the journey takes just 30 seconds.

Cord length varies. To 28 weeks of gestation (7 months gestation), the umbilical cord can reach the length of the term. In General, the term cord when the average length of 50-60 cm, diameter 1-2.5 cm. If less than 30 cm cord too short in length, over 70 cm for the umbilical cord is too long. Some experts pointed out that, if the placenta is attached to the bottom of the uterus, umbilical cord must be longer than to the distance between the vagina from the placenta, delivery of the fetus can properly and securely.

Baby life closely connected with the umbilical cord, cord if an exception occurs, poses a serious threat to the baby\'s life. The umbilical cord too short, does not meet the normal length, exceptions may occur during labour, mainly after entering the stage of fetal umbilical cord was pulled too tight, blood circulation disorders and intrauterine hypoxia occurs, that caesarean surgery had to row. In addition, may also stretch-induced premature separation of placenta or Umbilical hernias, serious fracture and bleeding is caused when the umbilical cord blood vessels, leading to fetal deformity. When the cord is too long, can also cause blood flow disorders, whether umbilical cord around neck, cord prolapse or knot of umbilical cord are fetal life-threatening.

When the delivery of the baby smooth, loud cries reverberate in the delivery room when when the baby\'s heart in rhythm \"Dub dub\" beats, baby and mother are closely linked lives of bond – gently cut the umbilical cord by midwives. Since then, a new life completely detached from the parent, with good wishes and vision to the world. As the umbilical cord stump of atrophy, crust, falls off, umbilical cord also formed, forever keeping the trace of the fetal age.

Nutrition of the pregnant mother must read antenatal instruction manual

Any supply of plant and animal growth and development are inseparable from nutrition, likewise, fetal babies to nutrition is also guaranteed the healthy growth of the most basic elements. So we need to make nutrition antenatal instruction. What is nutrition antenatal instruction? Sufficient complete nutrition that is provided to pregnant mothers, fetal baby and would like to add nutrients required intellectual development, which is the focus of nutrition antenatal instruction is located. Antenatal instruction in nutrition in the following four key points to note: when fill the supplement, sufficient heat to, nutrition to comprehensive, focused to highlight.

When fill the supplement

Many pregnant mother is always afraid of their own nutritional supplement is not enough, can affect fetal growth and development of the baby, so will prepare various chemicals such as vitamins, trace elements, for secondary added that this is not science. As with other nutrients, vitamins and trace elements are not added, the more the better, for example, vitamin a, added 800 mg per day when the pregnant mother in the early, middle and late pregnancy is 900 mg; vitamin d not more than 25 mg per day. Generally, pregnant mother provided that balanced and rational diet, vitamins and trace elements are not lacking, so to be sure there is no need to add a variety of nutrients, and then targeted for.

Of course, also like to remind the pregnant mother when fill the supplement, in eating, note the whole grains and refined-grain mix of everyday food like corn, sorghum flour, whole wheat bread, whole grains products, to ensure adequate intake of b vitamins. Third trimester pregnant mother needs more intake of dietary fiber, prevent constipation. Fresh fruits and vegetables, rich in vitamins and trace elements, can also be provided for pregnant mothers resist free radical superoxide dismutase, keep the pregnant mother beautiful youth.

Heat should be enough to

Pregnant mother according to the intensity of different, calorie needs are different. Calorie intake too much or too little are bad. For example, a pregnant mother needs every day of extremely light heat 2 500,000 cards. If insufficient heat supply for a long time, can affect fetal growth and development of the baby, but if too many calorie, will also affect fetal babies and maternal, cause many problems.

Nutrition to overall

Pregnant mother needs a variety of nutrients, such as commonly known known as folic acid and vitamins, trace elements. Pregnant mothers are aware of pregnancy to folate supplementation to prevent development of neural tube defects in infants. Of course, folate is just one promote fetal nutrition for baby brain development.

In addition to folic acid, vitamins and other nutritional elements, we would also like to note three major nutrient elements: fat, protein and carbohydrates. Fat problem has aroused widespread concern in the world, who and FAO has held a number of meetings of the United Nations, to discuss problems of fatty acids, fatty acids is form an important component of biofilm because, especially retinal cell membranes and brain cell membranes, the cell membrane and W-3 fatty acid binding, can effectively contribute to the development of the brain and retina. W-3 fatty acids, scientific name 22 carbon six acid, commonly known as DHA, this fatty acid is pregnant mother needs extra added, in our daily diet it is difficult to get the enough quantity. W-3 fatty acid can improve the fluidity of cell membrane, the brain cells can stretch out more blank spines or dendritic tree, make more intelligent network rich, baby brain cells possible.

Protein is also known as an important nutrient for man, not pregnant women will buy some protein powder to supplement nutrition. But pregnant mothers need to be aware of is that protein intake is not the more the better, to have appropriate limits, and to achieve reasonable collocation of animal protein and vegetable protein. General by dietary protein intake, unless it is absolutely necessary, not through the protein powder and other products to supplement.

Carbohydrates are the human body with the heat of the three main nutrients in the cheapest, it consists of three elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen is 2:1, and water, it is generally referred to as carbohydrate. Its main of good sources are: sugar, nuts, vegetables (such as tomatoes, carrots, etc), fruits (such as watermelons, bananas, sugarcane, grapes, melon, etc), cereals (such as wheat, barley, oats, corn, rice, sorghum). Carbohydrate main six main functions: it is a body of important materials, necessary to maintain normal function of the brain\'s energy, to provide normal functioning of the various functions of human body heat, regulation of fat metabolism, can also provide dietary fiber, and regulate food taste. If lack of carbohydrates in the diet of pregnant mothers can cause fatigue, low blood sugar, body weakness, dizziness, palpitations, cerebral dysfunction syndrome, coma can occur in severe cases. But as with other nutrition, excess carbohydrates produces a lot of problems, unused carbohydrates are converted into fat stored in the human body, obesity made the pregnant mother may also cause the occurrence of diseases such as diabetes, high blood fat, so reasonable proportion of carbohydrates from food intake. Carbohydrates in food are divided into two classes: a class of carbohydrates effectively is that you can use, such as Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides; one is not like cellulose being invalid digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. In General, pregnant mother has no specific demand on carbohydrate, 50~100 grams of digestible carbohydrate a day to prevent carbohydrate deficiency.

Key to highlight

Pregnant mothers are special populations, in addition to the above mentioned required such as protein, fat, carbohydrate nutrient, a pregnant mother needs to add additional major elements, trace elements and nutrients and fetal baby brain development closely related. For example, folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc, iodine, taurine, DHA (22 carbon six acid). EPA (20 Eicosapentaenoic Acid), DPA (22 Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (22 carbon six acid) W-3 family, such as fatty acids, is being incorporated into brain cellsBrain membrane Phospholipid component, deep sea fish, shrimp, crab meat and high fat content, is pregnant and mothers need special supplemental nutrients.

In addition to intake from food, can also supplement with DHA-containing nutrition or health products. Algal oils DHA and health care products to be used with caution, as far as testing confirmed, which contains more of lauric acid and cardamom sour, they have a very strong damage of vascular intima and the role of elevated cholesterol, harmful to human health. On December 3, 2005 to 4th in Beijing held of second session national DHA and clinical health relationship academic General Assembly Shang, domestic many medical University of clinical learn Professor, and nutrition learn Professor, are proof has seaweed oil DHA in the by containing of Laurel acid, and cardamom acid on human health harmful of clinical report or experimental data, this meeting formation has a copies proposals, recommendations in China about competent sector strengthening on seaweed oil DHA health products of supervision, on seaweed oil DHA health products in the harm human of Laurel acid, and cardamom acid developed limited standard, recommendations should provisions production manufacturers must in packaging Shang clear standard out products in the by containing cardamom acid and Laurel acid of content, protection consumer of select right and informed right. Therefore, to baby better growth in the abdominal, pregnant mother should pay attention to choose the right nutrition and health products, can provide useful for fetal baby brain fatty acid

Conceived in October, by antenatal instruction in different periods
