When should women not get pregnant? What are the methods for safe contraception for women
Does pregnancy also depend on time? Many people may ask like this, but the fact is not so. It only depends on the situation at that time. Of course, it's best to get pregnant at the right time and place. If you conceive at the wrong time, it will not only affect the women themselves but also the development of the fetus. Therefore, women should understand several situations that are not suitable for conception. So when shouldn't you get pregnant? What should women pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy? Next, I will introduce each one to you for your reference.
When should women not get pregnant?
1. Don't get pregnant at an advanced age.
During pregnancy, a man over 55 years old or a woman over 35 years old is considered an advanced pregnancy, and monitoring must be strengthened during pregnancy. Because the incidence of fetal malformations in elderly pregnant women is relatively high.
2. Do not keep pets such as cats and dogs before pregnancy.
Pets such as cats and dogs may infect women with various pathogenic bacteria such as Toxoplasma gondii, directly infecting the fetus and causing fetal deformities. Therefore, do not keep pets such as cats and dogs before pregnancy.
3. Pregnancy is not recommended from early winter to early spring.
Due to the greatest fear of viral infection during preterm delivery, the incidence of deformities in pregnant women significantly increases after contracting the virus. Winter and spring are the seasons of virus outbreaks and transmission, and pregnancy should not occur from early winter to early spring.
4. Do not come into contact with radioactive and highly toxic substances before pregnancy. Because Germ cell are very sensitive to x-ray and toxic substances. It is safe for women to receive X-rays before pregnancy, especially in the abdomen. Pregnancy after 4 weeks is safe.
