A pregnant business lady runs into many problems. Pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon, not a social one. It seems there is no difference between an actively working woman and a housewife, when they get pregnant. But it is not quite so. Such problems as over fatigue, stress, fear, that she will have to stop working and will have no possibility to catch up with her business do not let her concentrate on her and her little child. How should she behave in order to find a way out of this difficult situation?
It is necessary to get ready to pregnancy beforehand, but most women unfortunately ignore this important stage. First of all you should find out if you have no chronicle diseases, if your vessels are OK, etc. it is necessary to undergo medical treatment before fertilization, as any medicine are taken out of your organism during quite a long period of time. Getting to the fetus through your blood they may cause harmful changes of his development, as the laying of all his organs takes place during the first month after fertilization.
Unfortunately many women smoke nowadays. A wish to smoke a cigarette disappears during the first months of pregnancy as a rule, but by this time poisons already come through the placenta to a baby. If you have any weight problems, you should consult your doctor beforehand as well. It is possible that you will have to keep to a diet for some period of time, as extra pounds during pregnancy may lead to different complications.
Do not delay a visit to your doctor. The sooner you become registered, the better. The best time to do it is before the 7th week of your pregnancy. Prenatal diagnostic will let reveal any violations in the fetus’ development. You will have to make urine, blood tests, determine the lever of sugar in your blood, your and your baby’s rhesus – factor, make syphilis and hepatitis analysis. Besides these traditional tests, your doctor can prescribe you to make the thyroid gland hormonal level test, monitoring fetus’ investigation, etc. There are two main items of your pregnancy dynamics – your weight and your pressure. You should visit your doctor as often as he prescribes you to do. These visits will help you to prevent many possible complications.
Psychological problems may be considered to be the most difficult one for pregnant women. For those, who got used to care about their business, to be a leader, to take decisions it may be difficult to adapt to a “quiet” life. Overloading, overfatigue, stress may become a reason of a premature delivery and changes in the baby’s development. That is why during your pregnancy it is important to understand that the only priority for you now is your future baby. Learn to say “NO” to your ambitions, moderate your business activity and do not try to be the first everywhere. If you feel you are unable to adapt to new conditions of your life, consult with your psychologist. It is necessary to change your way of life and your day regime for the sake of your future baby, even when you feel yourself perfectly and not tired at all. Try to hand some of your responsibilities to your colleagues in order to have more free time for your and your little one. It would be very nice to have one day – off in the middle of a week. Discuss with your colleagues how can they find you in case of necessity.
