Why are some pregnant women afraid of heat than ordinary people?

It is said that pregnant women are afraid of heat, and pregnant mothers who have never experienced it may not know it, but pregnant mothers may have an epiphany because pregnant women are more afraid of heat than ordinary people during pregnancy. Lazy mother first heard this statement when she was watching TV in her teens. At that time, the TV didn't say why, but she also felt very strange. Why do pregnant women become more afraid of heat? Interested friends come and find out!

Why are pregnant women afraid of heat than ordinary people? In fact, this is all caused by the special reasons of pregnant women. After all, we are pregnant now, and there must be something different in other places except our stomachs.

The first reason is the influence of hormones.

I believe many people know that in women's menstrual cycle, the body temperature before ovulation is relatively normal, which is what we call basal body temperature. The body temperature is the lowest on the day of ovulation, and the temperature will rise the next day after ovulation. It should be said that this body temperature will rise to about 37 degrees, which is 0.3-0.5 degrees higher than the basal body temperature. The reason why the body temperature rises is actually because progesterone secreted after ovulation stimulates the body temperature center, resulting in

If during this ovulation period, our Miss L meets her dream lover ~ Mr. J and becomes a fertilized egg, this little fertilized egg will have great power to let the ovary continue to release progesterone. If progesterone is insufficient, normal pregnancy cannot be maintained. If progesterone continues to rise, the pregnant mother's body temperature will also rise.

So when I was just pregnant, there was a saying that if my body temperature rose after ovulation and lasted for more than 2 1 day, it could generally be regarded as pregnancy.

During pregnancy, in order to maintain a normal pregnancy, more progesterone will be secreted, which will stimulate the thermoregulatory center, resulting in the pregnant mother's body temperature being higher than normal and more afraid of heat. Especially in the hot summer, the temperature is already high, which is even hotter for pregnant women.

The second reason is the accelerated metabolism of pregnant women.

After pregnancy, pregnant mothers are not only responsible for their own needs. After pregnancy, the blood flow of pregnant women will increase by 30% compared with that before pregnancy? Because the blood flow of pregnant women increases, the blood circulation is accelerated, and the speed of metabolism is also fast. At the same time, it needs to be ruled out that the heat in vitro will also increase.

Therefore, the body temperature of pregnant women will be higher than that of ordinary people, and they will be more afraid of heat.

The third reason is the constitution of pregnant women.

The constitution of pregnant women is also one of the reasons why pregnant mothers are hotter than ordinary people. After all, every pregnant woman's constitution is different.

Some pregnant mothers are afraid of cold before pregnancy, but feel less cold after pregnancy because of physical changes.

Some pregnant mothers are afraid of heat before pregnancy. For example, obese pregnant mothers are prone to sweat, and they are even more afraid of heat after pregnancy.

There is also a pregnant mother with poor health, who is not very good at regulating the body temperature. She will be more afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer. If she encounters summer after pregnancy, she will definitely be more afraid of heat than ordinary people.

Lazy mothers belong to the first kind. Before pregnancy, she was very afraid of cold, her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't wait to stay indoors all day in winter. Completely changed after pregnancy. You can't run away when it's hot in summer, and it's even warmer in winter. In the winter of pregnancy, just cover with a thin quilt, and only wear two clothes in the coldest time. Surprisingly, I didn't feel too cold all winter.

However, not all pregnant women do. Although the physiological changes are the same, their feelings will be different. Some pregnant mothers feel cold during pregnancy. This is also a normal phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment.

How can pregnant mothers cool down when they are afraid of heat? Pregnant mothers who want to cool down can start from four aspects:

I. Clothing

Clothing, that is, dressing, pregnant women should pay attention to dressing:

Try to wear some loose cotton clothes, don't wrap yourself too tightly, and let your skin breathe normally.

Try to wear thinner clothes, it will be more breathable and not so hot.

Try to wear some light clothes, because dark clothes will make pregnant mothers absorb more heat from the sun and make them hotter.

Second, food.

Food is the most important thing for the people, which shows how important this word is. Pregnant women can also help themselves cool down through some diets to make themselves less hot.

You can eat more foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat, such as melon bean curd soup and mung bean porridge. If the constitution is not too bad, you can eat some watermelons and pears properly and drink plenty of water at ordinary times to replenish the fluid lost in the body.

Usually the diet should be light, not too greasy, so it is easier to digest and absorb.

But pay attention to:

Try not to eat food that is easy to get angry, such as fried food. Eating too much is easy to get angry, pregnant women are more likely to feel hot, and may also cause constipation. Try not to eat too hot food, such as hot pot. Pregnant women are already hot. If you eat these hot foods again, it will be even hotter. Don't eat some frozen food because it is too hot, so as not to cause diarrhea and stomachache. Third, live.

This residence includes the places where pregnant women usually stay, either at home or at work. Wherever it is, as long as it is indoors:

If the pregnant mother feels too hot, she can open the doors and windows properly and turn on the fan to let the air pass through the house and dissipate heat properly. If even the air is hot, pregnant mothers can turn on the air conditioner to lower the temperature. Don't turn the air conditioner too low, just about 25 degrees. When you take a bath, you should control the temperature of bath water. It will be about 38 degrees when the weather is hot. Lazy mother reminds:

No matter how hot the weather is, pregnant mothers must not blow directly at the fan, and it is best not to sit too close to the fan. Don't sit at the air outlet of the air conditioner to avoid catching a cold.

Fourth, ok

Pregnant mothers try to choose not to go out when the sun is small, such as in the morning and afternoon, and at noon when the sun is the biggest. You'd better take an umbrella or put on a sunscreen suit when you go out. Don't let the sun shine directly on yourself, or it will be hotter. If the sun is still strong, try not to go. You can take a bus or pass under the eaves. If the pregnant mother wants to take a walk, but it is sunny, she can do it indoors, or wait until the sun has completely set before going out. In short, try not to go out and get sunburned.

For the above reasons, the body temperature of pregnant women is indeed higher than that of ordinary people, so it is hotter than ordinary people. Therefore, pregnant mothers need to find ways to make themselves less hot, because being too hot is not good for the fetus, and being too hot may lead to fetal hypoxia, so this is also a problem worthy of attention. But in any case, I'm only ten months pregnant, and even if it's hot, it's only one summer. Pregnant mothers just stick to it.
