Symptoms of pregnant women with long hair in the fetus

As the fetus grows and develops in the mother's body, it will grow hair, which means that the fetus is developing better and better. Generally speaking, after the fetus grows hair, the mother is said to experience heartburn. At this time, you must pay attention to a reasonable diet, do not eat too much, and eat small meals frequently. Some people also say that the fetus growing hair has nothing to do with heartburn in pregnant women. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

What should pregnant women do if their fetus has long hair and they have heartburn?

1. Eat a balanced diet. Do not eat too much to avoid increasing the pressure in the stomach and lifting the diaphragm. Eat small meals frequently, slow down your eating pace, and chew your food thoroughly. Especially for dinner, you should avoid eating too much or too late. It is best to eat within 2 to 3 hours before going to bed so that you have enough time to digest the food. Avoid foods and drinks that cause gastrointestinal discomfort, which usually include: carbonated drinks, alcohol (you should not drink alcohol during pregnancy anyway), caffeine, chocolate, acidic foods (including citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, mustard and vinegar, etc.), cooked meats, mint foods, and spicy, strong, fried or high-fat foods. Chew a piece of gum after eating. Chewing gum stimulates saliva secretion, which helps neutralize stomach acid. 2. Sleeping posture. When sleeping at night, use a few more pillows or wedge-shaped cushions to raise your upper body. Raise the foot of the bed by 15 to 20 centimeters above your head and raise your upper body by 10 to 15 degrees, which can effectively reduce esophageal reflux. However, it is not advisable to raise the entire upper body by raising the pillow, because raising the pillow cannot lift the entire upper body. Instead, it may cause a bend between the esophagus and the stomach, affecting the flow of food into the stomach, aggravating esophageal reflux, and exacerbating heartburn. 3. Loose clothing. To reduce esophageal reflux, pregnant women should wear loose clothes and avoid tight clothes that squeeze the waist and abdomen. Bowel movements should be smooth and respiratory tract infections should be actively prevented and treated to avoid increasing intra-abdominal pressure.

Is fetal hair growth related to pregnant woman's heartburn?

Many expectant mothers may have heard of this statement. Even some expectant mothers who do not feel heartburn may still worry about the poor hair growth of their fetus. In fact, whether the baby's hair is good or not, or whether it grows hair at all, has nothing to do with whether the expectant mother has heartburn or not. Feeling heartburn in the second trimester is a normal pregnancy reaction. The reason for heartburn is not caused by the fetus growing hair, but because the fetus is growing continuously and his size is too large, which has already hit the mother's stomach, so the mother will feel nauseous. Increased intra-abdominal pressure and esophageal reflux will also make the mother feel heartburn. This condition has a professional name, called "gastroesophageal reflux disease during pregnancy", and it really has nothing to do with long hair.
