Colds during pregnancy


Colds during pregnancyTo treat colds pregnant should be very careful not to harm the child!


Ideally, future mother it would be better not to hurt, but to avoid colds and flu during the cold season a rare chance. Even if to make contact with the outside world to a minimum, viruses can bring into the house receivesize family member.




More! Sometimes they attack us from the inside without any outside contamination, since asleep in the genetic apparatus of cells, waiting for the opportune moment to declare itself. Pregnancy just refers to the number of such States.




The protective system of the female body due to physiological reasons is in a state of forced oppression - immunosuppression. It is a guarantee that the mechanism of protection of the internal environment from all the alien will not work against the life conceived. Full tissue compatibility is only possible between two clones or identical twins, but not between the expectant mom and her baby!




However, the same immunosuppression, which inhibits rejection reactions and contributes to the conservation of pregnancy makes a woman very susceptible to seasonal infections. If you got one of them, act wisely, so as not to harm the child!




The treatment of colds




No chemicals during pregnancy can not be accepted (and the vast majority of drugs from the pharmacy software can do nothing against viruses), but also to herbal medicine should be approached with caution: herbs sometimes more powerful drugs!





Vitaminstores


Banned products containing alcohol (even in small quantities it is harmful to the fetus! ), especially tinctures Immunostimulants - licorice, Echinacea, lemongrass, zamanihi, Rhaponticum carthamoides, ginseng, Rhodiola rosea... They increase blood pressure and frequent pulse, increasing the burden on hardworking heart of the future moms and vascular system of the baby.




His tiny little heart and so mad beats in rhythm, making over 200 beats per minute. To accelerate this pace means fraying formed the heart muscle and to lay the Foundation of cardiac ailments.




Tip: use the immunostimulant which does not give undesirable effects. This horseradish, has long been used for colds in pregnancy in folk medicine. Grate the root on a fine grater, mix with the same amount of sugar, leave in a warm place for 12 hours, strain and take 1 tablespoon every hour in acute colds.




Runny





Vasoconstrictive drops in pregnancy


Drugs type galazolin and naphazoline apply only at the peak of the cold, strictly observing the dosage (1-2 drops, and not a quarter of a bottle at a time! ), and the frequency, which depends on the variety of the active substance. Some drugs used 1-2 times a day, others 4-5 times: carefully read the instructions!




The less you use such drops, the better. Why?




Vasoconstrictor action may have on the arteries of the placenta, disrupting the blood supply to the fetus, if you drip the medicine too often, for a long time or a lot. Some part of it is absorbed through the mucosa of the nasopharynx, and the other flows into the esophagus and enters the bloodstream from the digestive system.


Such drops have the unpleasant property to cause spasm not only leading, but also the discharge of blood vessels, increasing swelling of the nasal mucosa. The action begins to appear from the 3-5th day of the disease, forming a dependency on the drug. Poured - and breathe easier, and in an hour the nose laid back stronger again and you reached for drops because modern doctors call them drugs for nose!




In pregnant women such dependence occurs easier than all the others: the hormonal background is that nasal congestion is sometimes felt throughout all 9 months and after delivery symptoms of vasomotor rhinitis magically disappear. This is another reason to be careful with vasoconstrictor drops - the benefit of modern science and traditional medicine know a lot of other tools from the cold!!




Tip: rinse the nose of the syringe when dealing with a weak salt solution (in a glass of water - salt on the tip of a knife) and bury his nose funds on the basis of sea water (Akvamaris, saline).





Vitamins for cold


The need for these mothers-to-be high, and during the illness increases. Do I need to take them separately?




It all depends on gestational age and characteristics of the disease: consult with your doctor! Without his permission dose pharmacy vitamins do not increase. Perhaps the doctor will advise to support the body with ascorbic acid, which increased expended when infection or askorutin (strengthens blood vessels and reduces the risk of bleeding with influenza).




The main thing is to keep a fine line: make the disease caused by deficiency of vital substances, but not to create hypervitaminosis. Excess vitamin a in the early stages of pregnancy leads to developmental defects and bust of vitamins C and D in recent months fraught with aging of the placenta.




Tip: lean on fresh fruits, vegetables and drink of them squeezed juices (except carrot). The body will learn from them the necessary vitamins without excess.





Honey


Honey and bee products




With their help, we usually saved from respiratory infections. But it's in the second half of pregnancy it is better not to apply: the unborn crumbs may be formed allergies, and future moms - gestational diabetes.





Warming up


Many of them are in your position is contraindicated. Perhaps you are accustomed to take for colds hot bath with salt and herbs. On your pregnancy it is necessary to forget! Soar feet is also not desirable: there is a real danger reflex to stimulate the uterus, causing abortion or premature birth.




But even if nothing like that will not happen, bad already that the blood will be poured to the veins of the legs (will stretch them and cause swelling), and will cast from placenta: during the procedure, the baby will suffer from a lack of nutrition and oxygen.




Tip: your hands under the faucet with hot water expectant mother can soar is the perfect remedy for runny nose and sore throat! Dry heat, too, will not do harm. I feel I'm getting unstuck, wrap neck warm scarf, wear wool socks (you can put them in a little mustard powder or cut pieces of yellow cards), warm pajamas and go to bed: it is possible that the morning will be cold without a trace.





The cold treatment homeopathy


Unlike traditional medicines homeopathy pregnant no harm.




Feeling unwell, every 15-30 minutes rassasyvaja mouth 5 grains homeopathic (! ) Antigrippin or take the pill flu-Hel, with the same effect, every 15 minutes for 2 hours. To fix the effect continue the same at least another 5 days, taking Antigrippin every 2 hours, and flu-Hel - 3-5 times a day.
