It is not good for a child conceived through such "love"

Parents all over the world want to have a healthy and smart baby, but many couples may walk into the "swamp" if they are not careful during conception. So how can we avoid it?

Swamp 1: Reduce the number of sexual intercourses

Some couples believe that if they want to get pregnant, they should reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse, which will allow the husband to "reserve his energy" and make it easier to conceive a good baby. In fact, having sex too infrequently is not conducive to conception. This is because too infrequent sexual intercourse will cause sperm to stay in the testicles for too long, which can easily cause sperm aging and reduced vitality, resulting in poor quality of the fertilized egg and difficulty in giving birth to healthy and smart children.

How to avoid it: You should have sex 1-2 times a week according to the physiological needs of normal couples. When preparing for pregnancy, you can arrange intercourse 14 days before the expected date of the next menstrual period according to your menstrual cycle. This is the ovulation period, which makes it easier to form an excellent fertilized egg.

Swamp 2: Conceived on the Road

Some couples get pregnant unexpectedly while traveling, and some of them continue to have the pregnancy. This approach is not appropriate because couples will over-exert themselves during the journey. In addition, their daily routines are irregular, they often lack sleep, and the nutrition of their three meals a day is easily unbalanced.

If you get pregnant during travel, it will not only affect the quality of the fertilized egg, but will also reflexively cause uterine contractions, affecting the implantation and growth of the embryo, leading to miscarriage or threatened miscarriage. It has been reported that among women who become pregnant while traveling, approximately 20% experience threatened miscarriage or early miscarriage, and 10% later develop secondary infertility.

How to avoid it: Even when traveling, you should take contraceptive measures to avoid accidental pregnancy and the "bitter consequences".

Swamp 3: Conception soon after ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is very serious when it occurs, but many people can still get pregnant after timely and effective treatment. However, some women are eager to have children and often become pregnant again soon after recovery. Little do people know that this practice is very dangerous because the fallopian tubes may not be completely unblocked. Data show that the recurrence rate of ectopic pregnancy is about 15%.

How to avoid: If an ectopic pregnancy has occurred, you must adhere to contraception for a period of time after complete recovery. You can consider pregnancy only after the doctor has examined and determined that everything is normal, so as to avoid another dangerous ectopic pregnancy.

Swamp 4: Having sex with your husband during your period

During menstruation, the cervix, which is usually tightly closed, opens slightly and there are many small wounds on the surface of the endometrium. During this period, sexual intercourse can easily cause bacteria to enter the small wound through the slightly opened cervix, causing endometritis. Moreover, it is easy to cause obstruction of menstrual blood outflow, causing endometrial fragments to flow back with menstrual blood and enter the abdominal cavity or fallopian tubes, forming endometriosis.

In addition, having sex during menstruation may cause sperm to meet overflowing blood cells at the damaged endometrium, producing anti-sperm antibodies. All of the above factors may lead to infertility, especially the production of anti-sperm immune antibodies in the body, which often lasts for several years or even decades, leading to refractory infertility.

How to avoid it: Avoid having sex with your husband during your menstrual period, especially when you are planning to get pregnant, so as to avoid causing infertility and making it difficult to conceive in the future.

Swamp 5: Pregnant with IUD

If the contraceptive ring is not suitable or is displaced in the uterine cavity, pregnancy with the ring is likely to occur, with a probability of about 10%. The contraceptive ring is placed in the uterus as a foreign body, interfering with the implantation of the fertilized egg and playing a contraceptive role. However, no matter how long the IUD is placed, it will more or less cause certain damage and impact to the endometrium, which is very unfavorable for the growth and development of the embryo or fetus. It may grow to the baby's superficial skin or get wrapped around the neck, or cause heavy bleeding or miscarriage in early pregnancy, necessitating termination of pregnancy. It may also increase the chances of premature birth, stillbirth, and fetal developmental abnormalities.

How to avoid it: When preparing to get pregnant, go to the hospital to remove the IUD first, and give the endometrium some time to recover. It is generally advisable to have 2-3 menstruations after removing the IUD.

Swamp 6: Conception while using birth control pills

Some couples may accidentally conceive due to failure of contraceptive pills, but many people continue with the pregnancy in the hope of getting lucky. You should know that whether you take birth control pills or use external contraceptive films, once conception occurs it will have an adverse effect on the fertilized egg, especially emergency contraceptive pills.

How to avoid: If you become pregnant due to failure of contraceptive pills, it is best to go to the hospital for an abortion as soon as possible and do not continue the pregnancy.

Swamp 7: Rubella vaccination less than 3 months ago

Once infected with rubella virus during pregnancy, it may cause congenital malformations in the fetus. To avoid infection with rubella virus during pregnancy, the most reliable way is to get the rubella vaccine before pregnancy. However, the injection must not be performed within 3 months after the vaccination or after pregnancy, otherwise the virus in the vaccine will directly affect the fetus and cause developmental abnormalities.

How to avoid: Rubella vaccine must be administered before pregnancy, and pregnancy should not be allowed within 3 months after the injection to prevent the rubella virus in the vaccine from causing adverse effects on the fetus.

Swamp 8: Premature birth or miscarriage followed by conception soon after

For women who have experienced premature birth or miscarriage, their endocrine function has not yet fully recovered, and their reproductive organs such as the uterus have not yet recovered, especially for women who have undergone a curettage. If the body becomes pregnant too quickly, it cannot provide a good growth environment for the fetus, and it is also not conducive to the uterus returning to normal.

How to avoid it: Only when the uterus and other reproductive organs are fully recovered can a good growth and development environment be provided for conception again. Therefore, it is more appropriate for women who have given birth prematurely or had a miscarriage to conceive six months later.

Swamp 9: Conception shortly after cesarean section

Some women had a cesarean section for their first child for various reasons. If the child does not survive, some of them will become pregnant again soon, which is very bad for their health. Because cesarean section causes more blood loss than normal delivery, all organs need to be repaired after delivery.

After a cesarean section, both the uterine incision and the abdominal incision need a certain amount of time to fully heal. Any factors that interfere with the muscularization of uterine scar can cause scar defects to varying degrees. If the egg does not grow strong, it is easy to get perforated or even ruptured during the next pregnancy.

How to avoid it: Generally speaking, women who have undergone cesarean section should wait at least 2 years before giving birth again to give the uterus sufficient time to heal, so that the scar tissue can heal better and reduce the risk of giving birth again.
