Medical road ahead

"Am I really overweight?"

Seeing Qiao Tan's seriousness, Zhou Mo frowned slightly, looked down at his huge pregnant belly, and fell into deep thought.

Didn't she realize that she is much fatter than ordinary pregnant women, but her family, especially her mother-in-law, always talk about "eating into the stomach and growing on the baby", eating seven or eight meals a day, There are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. If she doesn't eat or eats less, she will inevitably complain about it.

Ever since she was pregnant, she basically just sat on the sofa and brought her food and drink.

At first, she felt quite happy, and her status in the family finally became higher, but as time passed, this kind of happiness turned into an invisible pressure, which forced her to breathe, but she was powerless to resist, so she could only numb herself. Once you shut up, you will be an emotionless piggy bank, and let them keep stuffing food into your belly.

Qiao Tan took her hand and said seriously: "Many people mistakenly think that the period of weight gain for pregnant women is 4-6 months, but they don't know that from the beginning of pregnancy, they should gain 2-3 months of weight gain. It is enough to gain a total of 13-18 catties until the time of delivery. But now you are less than 4 months old, and you are already at least heavier than when you were just pregnant..."

Having said that, Qiao Tan looked Zhou Mo up and down again, and estimated: "At least 15 catties."

"Think about it, according to your current growth standard, how much will you weigh when you give birth?" Qiao Tan frowned at her.

"I……"

Zhou Mo opened his mouth, and then murmured, "My mother-in-law said, let the child absorb more nutrition."

"It's your mother-in-law again?"

Qiao Tan frowned and asked: "Didn't she have a baby herself? Don't you know that if a pregnant woman is overweight, it is very easy to cause hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and high blood pressure during pregnancy? This will cause great harm to the fetus, and if the fetus If it is too big, it will make childbirth difficult, and it may even cause dystocia."

Hearing Qiao Tan's words, Zhou Mo became nervous, "Then what should I do? Should I go on a diet from now on?"

Qiao Tan shook his head and explained: "If you are overweight during pregnancy, you can't go on a one-sided diet, otherwise it will have a negative impact on the development of the fetus. You should also not eat some foods or medicines that have the effect of reducing weight, because these medicines will stimulate the stomach, which will cause diarrhea and abdominal pain in pregnant women. The situation is very harmful to oneself and the fetus."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Mo was at a loss.

Qiao Tan embraced her and comforted her: "Don't worry, you are only three months old now, and you still have a chance to control your weight."

"I'll take you to the gynecology department for an obstetric examination first, and talk slowly on the way."

After speaking, Qiao Tan took her to the gynecology department, while her husband followed behind them obediently, and quietly wrote down Qiao Tan's careful instructions.

"Have you not exercised much at home?"

"No." Zhou Mo shook his head guiltily.

In fact, after learning that she was pregnant, Qiao Tan not only wrote her a nutrition and diet chart for pregnant women, but also suggested some exercises suitable for pregnant women, but her mother-in-law refused to let her go out, for fear that she would be outside Walking and wrestling, crossing the road and being hit by a car, I feel that the outside world is full of dangers, and only at home is safe.

Seeing this, Qiao Tan did not criticize him, but patiently persuaded him: "After you go back, ask your husband to accompany you for a walk every day after meals. Walking about 5000 steps a day will help you manage your weight and prevent you from gaining too much weight. You can make A growth curve chart for weight control, which is conducive to monitoring your own weight gain data in a timely manner, so that you can know how many catties you have gained every month, when you have grown too fast, and when you have not grown.”

"Yeah." Zhou Mo nodded seriously.

Her husband also carefully wrote down Qiao Tan's words.

"In addition to the weight growth curve, you can also prepare a diet diary to record the intake of different diets every day, and then compare the curves, and you can clearly know that when you gain weight abnormally, what should you eat in those days? What, and then avoid those foods, or reduce the intake." Qiao Tan continued.

"Food diary? Okay, I'll get it when I get back." Zhou Mo nodded again.

Qiao Tan further said: "The diet of pregnant women must be regular and balanced. Try to keep breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two extra meals. There must be no more. A daily calorie intake of 1800-2400 is enough. Do not drink fruit juice and take Sweetened drinks, because these drinks usually contain a lot of calories, if you don't like to drink plain water, you can choose some low-fat or fat-free milk, and unsweetened drinks instead.

Avoid simple sugars and choose more carbohydrate foods, such as whole grain bread, oats, vegetables and fruits.

At the same time, fiber-rich oats and whole grains can also produce a feeling of fullness, while the fiber intake is 25-30 grams per day.

For extra meals, focus on choosing healthy and nutritious foods. If you feel greedy, you can spread peanut butter on whole wheat bread, but you can't spread too much peanut butter, just the right amount.

The last thing is to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. The amount of drinking water cannot be reduced, which can not only keep the body hydrated, but also help reduce food intake.Don't they all say that drinking water is full?There is too much water in this stomach, so naturally there is no room for food. "

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Zhou Mo's husband: "Even if it's just a 15-minute walk after meals, it will be of great benefit to Zhou Mo's body."

"I see. Thank you, Dr. Qiao." He nodded hastily.

Qiao Tan smiled, and then said: "Don't think I'm long-winded, because some patients forget it when they hear it. For them, they can overcome it with medicine and injections, but they can't achieve nutritious diet, exercise, and improve their deficiencies. Work and rest."

"Doctor Qiao, don't worry, I will definitely do what you say this time."

Zhou Mo swore, and looked at her husband with deep meaning.

"Yes Yes!"

Zhou Mo's husband immediately understood and nodded his head.

Seeing Qiao Tan, Chun Shan smiled.

"The blood sugar and blood lipids are a bit high, but everything else is quite normal. As for your overweight problem, I think Dr. Qiao should point it out to you."

Just as Qiao Tan expected, Zhou Mo's overweight had already caused her blood sugar and blood lipids to be high.

Regarding her situation, Tanxi solemnly instructed: "Fortunately, it is not so high that it needs to be hospitalized, but you can't be too careless. After all, you have just passed the first pregnancy, and the baby's head, body, and limbs in the womb are more and more obvious. Entering the fetal period, if there is a little carelessness, it will affect the normal development of the baby, and even the life of the baby."

"I will work hard to control my weight in the future and lower my blood sugar and blood lipids." Zhou Mo nodded blushingly.

Tanxi put down her prenatal examination report and said to her earnestly: "I am also a mother. As mothers, we should not be soft-hearted. We can listen to the words of the old life. This is out of respect, but whether we do it or not is a matter of respect." It should be based on the actual situation. A woman is weak, but a mother is strong."

Then, she looked at Zhou Mo's husband, and added: "Being a father is strong."

"Yes! We must keep it in mind."

Zhou Mo's husband nodded solemnly.

"Director Tan, is it convenient for you to come out now?"

Suddenly, a nurse knocked on the door of Tanxi's clinic.

"what happened?"

Tan Xi got up and followed her out. The others looked at each other and followed out curiously.

"I assisted Dr. Gong to deliver a baby just now. However, there seems to be something wrong with the baby, but Dr. Gong has never encountered a similar situation, so I asked you to go and see if the baby is deformed." the nurse whispered.

"What's the problem?" Tan Xi frowned.

The nurse looked around, put her hands close to her ears, and said in a low voice: "The baby's tongue is almost twice the size of the mouth, and it is very thick, like a macroglossia. The mouth cannot be covered, and it is always exposed." outside."

"Giant tongue baby?"

Tan Xi was stunned, and immediately guessed: "I'm afraid it's Burr-Weiss syndrome."
