As combat the heat in pregnancy

Along with the invention of the turbo fan and air conditioning, showers and baths are the best to alleviate the despondency and suffocation caused by high temperatures.

Put under a jet of cold water and other temperate immediately provides welfare, because it cools and activates blood circulation, which in pregnancy is slower. During working hours, women can obtain a benefit similar submerging their arms in cold water and putting wet cloths on the forehead and neck. If hydrotherapy is repeated several times throughout the day, it is possible that blood pressure is stabilized.

In recent months pregnant, it is normal to feel the very heavy legs, and even that will swell a little. The disorder is relieved by sitting a few minutes with the body leaning back and legs elevated.
Rest is very necessary. The pregnant woman should know that the exercise continued, albeit moderate, decreases the blood supply that reaches the fetus as much as 25 percent (depending on the intensity) and that, therefore, it should be pausing for a half hour throughout the day. These periods are ideal for relaxing moments with the exercises learned in the course of maternal education, it should use them.

The clothes more comfortable at this time is that of cotton, linen or silk, all natural fabric. Synthetic fabrics, like the dark colors, warm. A garment with a mixture of both can be tolerated if the percentage of fiber does not exceed 30 percent. The shoes should be wide enough so as not to hinder the movement.

How to tell if my child be born healthy?

¿HEALTHY BIRTH MY CHILD?
• The council consists of genetic preconceptional to inform prospective parents about the nature of a hereditary disease, as well as the likelihood that affect their offspring.

• There is the urgency of a prenatal diagnosis, so the couple can know a priori, before deciding on a pregnancy, the risk. When the prenatal diagnosis of hereditary disease is not technically possible, knowing the risks allows opt for alternative solutions: not procreate, adoption, and so on. In such studies must use radiological techniques, dangerous during pregnancy, or biochemical, whose results can be altered during pregnancy and mask the diagnosis.

• The most important risk factors, which require the development of a genetic study are: existence in the family of repeat abortions,
polimalformaciones or mental retardation associated with fragile X chromosome.

• If a couple is consanguineous, runs a higher risk of both carriers are somehow abnormal gene, and therefore can match the two genes in a sick child. In this case, if there is no family history, the best recommendation is to conduct a careful follow-up ultrasound in pregnancy.

• When there is a history, one must make a clear diagnosis of the patient sick. This is very important. Then, based on the biochemical and molecular study of it, the analysis becomes familiar.

• Prenatal diagnosis, analyzing the liquid amniótlco or villus coriócas, allowing to know whether the baby will inherit a particular genetic disease.

Gestation - Control and Cares

In spite of the dysfunctions more or less intense and always transitory that are given in the mother-to-be's body, if it has been tried to treat them appropriately, the pregnancy is a phase of the woman's life that we must consider normal, the woman's biology is directed to perpetuate the specie and everything that makes in its favor it is a little. The pregnant woman from the first moments, it should trust the physician and to follow their commissions. The fact of trusting of the common sense or of the family test it exposes to end in big errors. The contrast with the previous generation that the physician in the middle of disaster, today only called is every more exceptional day that a woman arrives to the moment of the childbirth without book credit visited a gynecologist, at least in the big cities or in the industrialized fields; in the field, in the agricultural fields of many areas, the affluence is already pettier, but this fields are in fact those that provide a more high level of maternal and fetal mortality. It is of wanting that they still multiply not the prenatal clinics in these fields modernized, and that to them all the mothers still go remiss in recognizing the magnitude of the advances that you/they have been achieved in the care to the pregnant woman.

The first query should be a month, or to the two menstruation ullages to discard from the first moment any precocious alteration and to teach the first hygienic standards. The other visits should be monthly, being of special interest in the last weeks. During these visits, a mutual trust should settle down between the pregnant one and the gynecologist, undergoing the patient the recognition of its general state, of the normality of the different apparatuses (respiratory, digestive, urinal, etc.), and to the appraisal of different analysis, among which are indispensable the blood type, the factor RH, the urination exam, the arterial pressure, the control of weight and the different ultrasounds. Possibly debit side to add the red blood count, the determination of the quantity of sugar in the blood and the reactions for the diagnostic of the possible lúes or syphilis.

It is indispensable the woman's serene attitude in front of their pregnancy. In the woman's life, the pregnancy and the childbirth they represent a moment emotional resemblance, or maybe general ledger, to that of the puberty or that of the menopause, and the psychic behavior in front of that state depends on the sexual education, of the family (a lot of disastrous times) attitude, of the cultural level and of the happiness or sadness with which the event is accepted. The woman must have the convincing that she should be mother and that the childbirth is not any secret, and it must abort the fear to complications and the pain. A relaxed woman that allows to behave confidently for her gynecologist that has learned how to breathe that has the affection and the husband's understanding or couple, makes much easier the moment of the childbirth, and stiller knowing that the obstetrician has today powerful means of help that they facilitate his work and they redound in the mother's benefit and of the son.

Genital - Malformations and States BiSexuals

The constitution and the normal sex characteristics can in some occasions to suffer alterations of importance and to rebound in the person's development. These shortcomings, take place during the formation of the embryo and in them physical and functional stigmata of both sexes coexist, generally for the prevalence of one of them.

Inside the same ones we find:

The abnormalities vulvales.
Absence of the vulva can exist, for not being had developed, but this malformation generally goes accompanied by others that are incompatible with the life.

The feminine pseudo hermaphrodites.
They are women whose genital extraneous they offer characters viriloides, for a great increase of the clitoris that can look like a penis, with the biggest lips also enhanced of size and something soldered in the half line; they can even acquire the aspect of some bags to house the testicles.

The masculine pseudo hermaphrodites.
They constitute 90% of the extraneous malformations of the genital ones, because during the embryonal development, if they fail the male hormones, he/she stops the development of the male one and on the other hand the female continues being developed in spite of the failure of the ovarian hormones. They are men to mean to form that can have a rudimentary uterus or a vagina that he/she opens up under the penis. But they can also be hardly men with a penis developed and genital extraneous in finishing being formed and that they can look like a rudimentary vulva. It is about individuals that, in the moment to be born, they were browsed superficially and classified as girl, educating you as such. With the years they go to the gynecologist for their menstruation ullage, or to appear two tumoraciones in what you/they believe that they are the big lips, being about some not very developed testicles; or for their ullage of mammary development and even being believed women by their sexual longing of other women, since in fact their constitution, its true sex, is the masculine one and what has failed has only been the formation of the extraneous genital. These are the cases that, in a sensationalist way, the daily press classifies as of woman that has transformed into man, when in fact there has not been conversion.

The different malformations.
Among them they can be: not very developed vulvas; the hole of the anus that opens up in the vagina instead of making it in their habitual place; the urethra that can open up in the vagina in the woman or in the bag of the testicles in the man; the imperforación of the hymen; the vagina absence and of uterus, or the vagina absence and persistence of the uterus. Here they can show up different variants, but naturally, all they disable the gestation. The vagina absence constitutes 30% of the malformations vaginal vulvo and in most of the cases he/she accompanies of uterus absence and of ovaries; or at least these enter a development deficit.

The hermaphroditisms.
Of these the true ones are strange. It is about beings intersexuals, with genital combined. They have ovotestes, that is to say, half ovary and half testicle; or, a testicle and an ovary. If the extraneous genital are observed, they are of doubtful constitution, being able to find testicles in more form of lips, organ that you/they oscillate between the feminine clitoris and the masculine penis and all kinds of variants. The treatment should be inclined to favor the sex for which you/they figure entered and to which you/they have accommodated its psyche that is generally the feminine one, making in this possible case a sexual activity that for passive, it is fully feasible by means of a surgical intervention, being created an artificial vagina.
