What can be pregnant? Is it possible to do fluorography, x -ray, vaccinations during pregnancy? Can pregnant women dye hair, nails, massage, inhalation?

The article will answer the most pressing questions that torment pregnant women.

The usual procedures that a woman faces in ordinary life, during the period of gestation, acquire a different outline. The expectant mother begins to look at everything through the prism of her new state and evaluate any effect on the body in terms of risk to the child. Naturally, a woman has no desire to turn into paranoid, but I do not want to show carelessness before the birth of a baby.

Consider the main issues that arise in the pregnant woman, and determine the boundaries of the permitted that the life of a woman during the expectation of the baby is both pleasant and safe.

Can a pregnant woman do an X -ray?

• The main alarms in relation to x -rays are in the negative effects of radioactive radiation on the human body. Due to the fact that one -time doses of irradiation during a tooth, limbs or other parts of the body are small, doubt the dangers of the procedure with the appropriate prescription of the doctor there are no causes
• The situation is different during pregnancy, since it is also necessary to take into account the possible consequences for the unborn child
• X -rays act on cells in the process of their division, can cause a violation of their integrity and lead to genetic changes
• In the embryo, in particular, in the early stages, when vital organs are laid, active cell division is observed. For this reason, radiation can adversely affect the fruit

x-ray

You should immediately make a reservation that this is possible, but optional. Therefore, before the decision on radiography, the decision should be taken into account:

gestational age

• If there is no urgent need or indication, set aside the trip to the X -ray cabinet at least to the second half of pregnancy. Should not be exposed at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, when organs are formed in a child
• If possible, this should not be done throughout the first trimester. If you have passed X -ray diagnostics, not knowing about your pregnancy, at a very early stages, most likely this will not affect the child in the future
• In the worst case, with really strong irradiation, the body will independently decide on the inability of the fetus to normal existence, and a miscarriage will occur. If the pregnancy proceeds normally, there are no reasons for concern, but it is worthwhile to carefully monitor the development of the embryo, pay special attention to genetic ultrasound and additional analyzes at 12 weeks

According to the irradiation of a pregnant woman approved in Russia, the irradiation of a pregnant woman should not exceed 1 millisiver (MZV) in two months, until the pregnancy has been established. If this value exceeds to the level of 100 mZV, the doctor must warn the woman about risks and offer termination of pregnancy.

the subject of diagnostics

• It matters, you make an X -ray to the tooth during dental treatment or arm with a bone fracture, or an area of \u200b\u200bintestines, lungs or pelvic organs is exposed to irradiation
• In the first case, with proper protection of other organs, the effects of rays on the fetus are practically excluded, in the second - the risk that the child will receive a certain dose of radiation above

In addition, depending on the subject of irradiation, doses vary:

tooth - 0.02 mzv

light - 0.3 mZv

legs, arms - 0.01 mZV

consequences for a woman in refusal

If the procedure is vital for a woman according to the strict indications of doctors, to think about whether to do an X -ray or not, obviously, is not worth it. Moreover, a single dose of x -ray irradiation is laid within the permissible limits of the radiation load on a woman during pregnancy (0.3 mZV)

alternative methods

• If it is possible to conduct informative diagnostics with an ultrasound of the organs or use a visionographer if necessary to a tooth is instead of an X -ray film, give preference to these methods.
• Ultrasound, as you know, is absolutely safe, and the radiation dose by the visionographer is significantly lower than the usual X -ray picture

type of apparatus and radiation dose

The radiation dose depends on the type of equipment (digital or film). Information about approximate doses can be found in the table below

dose of radiation

Is it possible to do fluorography during pregnancy?

The usual procedure for fluorography of the chest, which is carried out by the population annually in order to prevent tuberculosis and timely diagnosis of other lung diseases, is contraindicated for women in a position. If we are talking about the presence of strict medical indications for such a procedure, adhere to the following recommendations:

• replace fluorography with an ordinary x -ray, or, if appropriate, do an ultrasound or MRI after agreeing with a doctor

Varrowing for fluorography is higher than with an X -ray.

• do not perform the procedure on the old film apparatus
• follow the use of all precautions (protection in the form of a lead apron)
• do not make fluorography in the first trimester if you know about pregnancy

At the same time, the radiation dose from one digital picture of fluorography (0.05 mZV) is significantly lower than the permissible MZV unit during pregnancy. The experiences and nervous state of a woman on this subject can be more reflected in a child than a one -time fluorography procedure. In addition, sitting in front of the TV, talking on a mobile phone or heading on a vacation by plane, a woman is also subjected to radiation load, but obviously does not even think about it.

The 2-3 hourly flight is equivalent to approximately 0.02-0.03 mZv, 2 hours in front of the TV-0.002 mZV.

Is it possible to vaccinate during pregnancy?

vaccination during pregnancy

• The consequences of instilling pregnant women have not thoroughly studied, like many other potential dangers for the child due to objective difficulties in conducting research on women in a position
• Therefore, often future mothers hear a common phrase in relation to many procedures and medicines: "The use is permissible if the possible benefit exceeds potential risk." This phrase is applied to vaccination
• If a woman is vaccinated in childhood and adolescence according to the recommended vaccination calendar, additional reasons for concern should not arise
• Despite the fact that a number of them involve revaccination every 5-10 years, there is no urgent need to do this during pregnancy

But the need for vaccination may arise:

• in emergency cases (when the epidemic enters the zone, contact with the carrier of the virus in the absence of appropriate immunity, the presence of risk of infection by rabies)

• in the presence of objective grounds for the occurrence of severe complications after the disease in the flu

It is known that the flu during pregnancy is worse tolerated, so if the pregnancy falls on the “flu time”, you can make an appropriate vaccine. There are no special contraindications regarding the gestational age, but the second trimester will still be the best time.

There are many flu strains, so the vaccine from a certain type of this virus does not guarantee one hundred percent probability that you will not catch another type of influenza.

Therefore, if there are no problems with immunity and the causes of serious complications, contacts with the outside world during the seasonal epidemic are minimized and the appropriate prevention of the disease has been carried out, there is no particular need to expose himself and the child with risk, even to insignificant.

• American doctors offer pregnant women vaccination from tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough in order to instill immunity to the baby for a while until he himself is vaccinated
• However, not the entire medical community supports this opinion. ADD is considered a rather complicated vaccine, but side effects and severity with which the vaccine is transferred largely depends on the composition of the vaccine
• Therefore, if you decide to vaccinate from these diseases during pregnancy, responsibly approach the selection of a vaccine and do not vaccinate earlier than 26-27 weeks of pregnancy

graft

In general, immunoprophylaxis should be distinguished:

• live vaccines
• inactivated (killed) vaccines

The vaccination of a woman during pregnancy in the first case is contraindicated due to the presence of even a slight risk of exposure to the active virus against which a woman is vaccinated for the unborn child.

• Separately, it should be mentioned about the need for timely vaccination at the stage of pregnancy planning. In particular, it is important to check the presence of immunity from rubella
• This is one of the most dangerous diseases for a woman during pregnancy, with the infection of which in the early stages the percentage of fetal pathologies is significantly high. If a woman was sick with rubella, or she was vaccinated in childhood, you should not worry, but in the absence of confidence it is better to take an analysis for the detection of antibodies to the disease
• Rubber vaccination should be done 2-3 months before the planned pregnancy. In other words, during the gestation of a child, vaccination from rubella can be as dangerous as the disease itself

Is it possible to make teeth during pregnancy?

One of the burning issues concerns the treatment of teeth. For many women, pregnancy is an occasion to postpone an unpleasant visit to the dentist. The reasons why this decision is not reasonable:

• after childbirth, the period of breastfeeding will begin and, in addition, you most likely simply will not have free time to make your teeth. This means that you run the risk of leaving dental problems for itself for at least 1.5 years, which is fraught with consequences
• even if the teeth have always been the subject of your pride, you need to visit the dentist during pregnancy, since the child takes a lot of calcium from the woman’s body, which will certainly affect the condition of the teeth
• caries at the initial stages is treated without anesthesia, and therefore, there is no risk to the child at all
• the presence of inflammation in the oral cavity can lead to infection and unnecessary complications for the child

dental treatment

Typically, the expectant mother is aware of the need for timely treatment of teeth, but fears for unsafe:

1. anesthesia in the treatment of tooth
2. x -ray pictures
3. stress that a woman can feel in the dental chair

If treatment without pain relief is impossible, or a woman does not want to experience any pain due to increased sensitivity or negative emotions, you can use local anesthesia.

• Modern drugs with minimal adrenaline content are safe and can be used during pregnancy. The main thing is to warn about your dentist position
• Tooth x -rays on modern equipment with appropriate protection of the pelvic organs will not be harmful. But it should be done in case of real need
• An important point is the psychological mood of a woman, since the baby is very sensitive to the state of the mother. If you feel a strong shock in the dental chair, the child in response begins to diligently hide in the tummy, and at the same time there is no urgent need to treat the tooth, that is, the dentist confirms that the tooth still suffers, better set aside the procedure for the postpartum time
• In general, there are no contraindications to filling, removal of nerves or teeth during pregnancy in modern medicine. Therefore, you can and should be engaged in teeth

Do not treat your teeth in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The ideal time for this is the second trimester.

As for optional procedures, for example, bleaching, it is better to abandon it during pregnancy due to the risk of penetration into the placenta of the substance used in this case. Implantation of the tooth is also not mandatory, so it may well wait.

Is it possible to do inhalation during pregnancy?

inhalation

The woman during pregnancy is not safe from a cold, but the arsenal of available methods of treatment is quite limited. However, it is important to quickly cope with the disease and prevent the neglect of the disease. Inhalations are included in the list of permitted and very effective ways to combat a runny nose and cough.

• You can use a nebulizer or breathe steam over a pan or a basin
• Mineral water, saline/soda solutions, saline, herbal infusions, drugs, essential oils can be used as the basis for inhalation of vapors.

Medications for inhalations should be coordinated with a doctor, herbs and essential oils should be chosen with caution, carefully studying contraindications.

• Do not practice inhalation with warm steam in the presence of temperature

Is it possible to do massage during pregnancy?

massage

The female body during pregnancy experiences a significant load, so relaxation is a prerequisite for the pleasure of a new state. Massage can be an excellent solution, but with certain reservations:

• this procedure should be carried out by an experienced specialist
• it is not recommended to do massage in the first trimester
• be sure to receive the approval of a gynecologist leading pregnancy, since massage has a number of contraindications (for example, colds, varicose veins, dermatological problems, a threat of miscarriage or premature birth, swelling, some chronic diseases)

Is it possible to dye hair during pregnancy?

coloring

There is no reliable information about harming the fetus when dyeing hair. But no one takes the opposite with one hundred percent confidence. Nevertheless, the main warning is not associated with the risk for the child, but with the possibility of developing an allergy in the future mother, which had not had before, or an inadequate hair reaction to the usual dye due to hormonal changes in a woman.

Main recommendations:

• if possible, do not dye your hair in the first trimester
• give preference to more gentle methods: highlighting or coloring
• choose high -quality paints without ammonia and other substances potentially dangerous for the child
• sign up for an appointment with a hairdresser in the morning, while the concentration of vapor from chemicals in the room is minimal

Is it possible to do a tattoo during pregnancy?

Permanent makeup is not advised to make women in a position due to insufficient knowledge of this issue. The main fears are related to:

• the use of anesthesia
• potential effect on the fruit of substances that make up the carcass
• development of allergies
• unpredictable body reaction due to objective causes of a change in hormonal background

It is absolutely that tattooing should not be done in the first months of pregnancy, in the second half, you should agree on this procedure with a gynecologist.

Is it possible to do hair removal during pregnancy?

depilation

There are enough ways to get rid of unnecessary hairs on the body:

• razor
• special creams
• wax
• electroePilation
• photoepilation
• laser hair removal

The most safe is the use of a razor machine, in all other cases, caution should be caused for the following reasons during pregnancy:

• strong pain provoke a woman’s stressful state, which negatively affects the fetus
• it is possible to develop individual intolerance to the composition of creams
• the sensitivity of the skin increases, there is a risk of skin pigmentation, burns
• during pregnancy, varicose veins are likely, which is a contraindication to hair removal

Can I have sex during pregnancy?

You can, if the doctor did not warn about the opposite. This is how the basic principle sounds regarding the issue of intimate life during pregnancy.

In other words, with a normal pregnancy and the absence of special warnings by the gynecologist, sex is not prohibited during pregnancy.

Moreover, in the case of a postponed pregnancy, many doctors officially recommend an active sex life to stimulate labor. However, provoking the reduction of the uterus in this case is a contraindication in other cases:

• risk of miscarriage
• the risk of premature birth (low placentation or placenta presentation) at a later date
• cases of miscarriages in the past, being in the risk zone on the problems of bearing a child
• infectious diseases

What exercises can be done during pregnancy?
