이제 임신 6주 5일 지난 예비 초보아빠입니다
요즘 부쩍 보험에 관련한 정보를 많이 알아보는 중, 빌리어플을 통해 이렇듯 좋은 정보를 얻어감으로써,
진심으로 감사드립니다..

만기 결정하는게 가장 고민되는거같아요!
사실 100년이면 치료방법이라던가 치료비용이 많이 달라져서 미래에 보장을 적절히 받을 수 있는지도 모르겠구 ㅠ 20년납 100세 만기로 많이 한다면 다들 어떤 이유로 그렇게 하는건지 너무 궁금해요!!

태아보험 말만 들어도 너무 어려워서 미루고 미루다 벌써 15주가 됐어요ㅠ 만기일 설정이랑 불필요한 특약이 가장 궁금해요ㅠ

임신6주차입니다. 보험을 가입해야학것 같은데 정보를 잘 몰라서 어럅네요. 

태아보험의 중요성과 혜택에 대해서 너무너무 궁금합니다 도와주세요!!!ㅎㅎㅎ

꼭 넣어야하는 특약이나 불필요한 항목같은게 궁금해요!

태아보험 고민 하고 있었는데 이렇게 정리해주셔서 감사해용 ♥️

안녕하세요~ 이제는 진짜 들어야해서 이것저것 열심히 공부하고 있는 뱀띠맘입니다😖 알면 알수록 복잡하고, 머리가 아픈데 태아부터 신생아~어린이까지 생애주기별 어떤 질병에 잘 걸리는지 알고 특약을 넣으면 좋겠다는 생각이 들어서요~! 이 부분 질문 드립니다!

신청완료했어요. 이번에 태아보험 준비하면서 공부 많이 했네요

빌리통해서 현대해상에 상담통화 했었는데, 선물 준다써있었는데 ㅠㅠ
그뒤로 어떤 선물주겠다 등등 아무런 안내가 없어요.. ㅠ 정보만 팔린걸까요..

현대해상에서는 자기쪽이주는게 아니라 빌리에서 제공하는 이벤트라고하고...

태아보험에 대해서 몰랐는데
"태아보험=어린이 보험"
이라는 설명과 보험에 대한 이해를 할 수 있게 해주시는 유익한 정보 감사합니다~ 신청완료 했습니다💛

내년에 오른다고 해서 지금 빨리가입해야 하나 고민중이네요 빌리에서 관련 글 보고 상담신청은 해두었어요!

빌리에서 보고 상담신청하고 어제 상담진행했어요! 친절하게 상담해주셔서 좋더라구요. 
남편이랑 보장내용들 자세히 살펴보고 정하기로 했는데.. 만기기간 설정이 제일 고민되는데, 30세/100세 중에 어떤게 좋을지 팁이 있을까요? 
꼼꼼히 잘 알아보고 우리아가를 위해 후회없는 선택 하고싶어요! 

베이비빌리 김혜진 매니져 강추에요!! 아주 친절하게 안내해주시고 또래 아이 키우시는분이라 엄마마음에 쏙들게 설계도잘해주셨어요!!

12월에 상담 신청해서 상담 진행했었는데 선물 관련 안내 문자는 언제 오나요? 1월초에 문자온다했는데 아직 안와서 여쭤봐요.

신청완료입니다! 보내주신 자료 꼼꼼히 비교해봐야겠어요

좋은 정보 감사드려요 참고해서 알아볼께요

현직 설계사 입니다.
혹시 저도 여기서 
영업 할 수 있을까요 ?

상담 받았어요! 태아보험 많이 어려웠는데 친절히 설명해주셔서 감사합니다🙏

30주 들어서고 부터 밥이 안땡겨요 
집에서 잘해먹다가도 몸이 무거워져서 인지 해먹기도 싫고 음식 해먹을때 날파리만 보여도 스트레스 받아서 아무것도 안해먹게 되는거 같아요 
그래서인지 가장 간단한 라면만 먹게 되네요 ..
기러기부부라 대부분의 임신기간은 혼자 보냈고 
특별하게 챙겨먹는 영양제도 없네요
밀가루만 먹는 제가 한심하고 아기한테 너무 미안해요

임신 중 라면

안녕하세요 😄  제목그대로 혹시 영양제 안챙겨드시는 어뭉님들계신가요?ㅠㅠㅠ
초기에 엽산이랑 비타민만먹어주고 지금중기들어서서는 안먹고잇는데 혹시안드시는 어뭉님들계시는지욥

영양제 안챙겨드시는 어뭉님들계신가요?ㅠㅠ

Congratulations! Finally you&rsquo;re sailing along on your pregnancy adventure. Are you feeling any seasickness along the way? That&rsquo;s probably because you are experiencing morning sickness which definitely does not occur in just mornings.&nbsp;<hr>Morning sickness<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1858/dd1a7444-681b-4186-a64d-0d8e5b392c6c.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🤢What is morning sickness?It describes the nausea and vomiting that happen when you are pregnant.🤰 Depending on how sensitive you are to smells and odors, you may have strong aversions to certain smells or foods that are so powerful that you feel sick to your stomach.👃Morning sickness does not necessarily mean it only happens in the morning. In fact, you can suffer the symptoms any time of the day or night.☀️🌃🤢When does morning sickness start?It typically starts around week 6 until the middle of month 2. It is truly the first sign you&rsquo;ll notice after your hCG hormone levels overcome the threshold to produce a positive pregnancy test result.🤰 &nbsp;🤢How long does morning sickness last? &nbsp;Nausea and vomiting diminish between weeks 12 and 16, but they are at their peaks form weeks 10 to 16. It is possible that you continue experiencing these symptoms when you enter the second trimester or even throughout pregnancy.🤮&nbsp;<hr>Morning sickness causes<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1858/0e8ff7b3-629a-4145-8773-6b3e28ffd19a.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🤢Hormone levelshCG hormone level is at its peak when morning sickness is worst. Increased levels of estrogen and progesterone relax the muscles of the digestive tract and make it difficult for you to digest food.📈🤢A sensitive brainIf you are already hypersensitive to car sick🚗 or seasick🌊 compared to others, you are subjected to morning sickness. A family history of migraine also makes you prone to morning sickness.&nbsp;🤢StressEmotional stress such as anger😠, depression😫 can upset the gastrointestinal tract. No wonder when you&rsquo;re under stress, you experience morning sickness more often.🤢FatigueIf you have morning sickness, fatigue can make the nausea worse. On the other hand, morning sickness can increase fatigue.🥴🤢First time pregnancyIf this is the first time you&rsquo;re pregnant, the symptoms might appear more severely and decrease when you&rsquo;re pregnant again.🙋 Your body is less prepared for the sudden surge of hormone levels, making you feel more anxious and resulting in stomach upset. &nbsp;<hr>Morning sickness remedies<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1858/c63b9fac-479a-4aea-a893-103e09f050d5.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🤢Stay away from offensive smellsBecause your sense of smells is so keen, some scents may be offensive and sickening despite them being familiar. Stay away from smells that make you feel nauseous. Open windows so the air inside your room can be well ventilated.🍲🤢Wear Sea-Band wristlets &nbsp;They are clinically proven to be effective to protect you from severe morning sickness. These 1-inch-wide bands are anti nausea acupressure wristbands that put pressure on an acupressure point and naturally relieve the symptoms.😃🤢Rest wellMeditation, visualization or any methods that help you stay calm can help minimize queasiness. Relax your body and take it easy since rushing only makes your pregnancy experiences worse.😶&zwj;🌫️😌&nbsp;

Morning sickness and nausea during pregnancy

You are probably familiar with pains, aches, and weird symptoms along the way. If you have any signs of potential problems, you should stay alert and call your doctors immediately.<hr>Early stage symptoms<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1873/05ec00d3-40ed-47d2-ad9c-26c86a2793d4.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">⚠️Bleeding or spottingVaginal spotting or bleeding🩸 can be considered a serious sign of potential miscarriage. It can also signal ectopic or molar pregnancy. If molar pregnancy is the case, you may pass small, fluid-filled sacs from your vagina while feeling severely nauseous and vomiting.🤮⚠️PainIf the crampy, persistent abdominal pain comes along with pelvic pressure or low back pain, non stop bleeding, all signs might indicate miscarriage.🤰 Pain anywhere in your abdomen or pelvis at the early stage can be linked with ectopic pregnancy.Pain in your shoulder can be a symptom of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

Painful or burning urination, little or no urination, cloudy and blood-colored urine, strong and unpleasant odor can be signs of urinary tract infection.😟&nbsp;UTI can result in soreness in your back, sides, or lower abdomen. If the situation gets worse and spreads to the kidneys, you may experience back pain, fever and chills, and nausea and vomiting.🤮&nbsp;⚠️Strange vaginal dischargeUnhealthy vaginal discharge such as green substances🟢 having unpleasant odor, pain and itching signs accompanied, you may have yeast infection. If the discharge is thin white or gray with a strong fishy smell, you may have bacterial vaginosis.A common sexually transmitted disease called trichomoniasis is also a consequence of yellow🟡 or green vaginal discharge.

It starts in early pregnancy and continues throughout the process.🤕🤢⚠️Extreme tirednessPregnancy takes a toll on you, leaving you fatigued at times.

Pregnancy symptoms that you should never ignore

A little light bleeding or spotting is common during the first trimester. It can also be a sign of a serious problem.&nbsp;<hr>Differences between spotting and bleeding<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1890/68e36ecb-2c8b-4cae-b545-6118be5705fd.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🩸SpottingSpotting is very light bleeding🩸 with signs of occasional small blood drops in your underwear. The color varies from pink to red to brown, similar to what you have at the end of your period.🌸🩸BleedingBleeding is a heavier flow of blood. You need to wear pads or a panty liner to avoid blood soaking your underwear.🩲Constant blood flow can signal a serious problem such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.🤰 You should consult with doctors immediately if you notice any sign.👩&zwj;⚕️<hr>Causes of early pregnancy bleeding<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1890/94fcb431-6419-4e03-8a3e-782ef27970b4.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🩸ImplantationImplantation bleeding can happen when fertilized eggs attach to the uterine lining, triggering approximately 6 days of spotting or bleeding consequently.🩸 You probably won&rsquo;t be aware of your pregnancy when this happens.🤔&nbsp;🩸Subchorionic hematomaSubchorionic hematoma is bleeding under a membrane that surrounds the embryo inside the uterus.👶 When the amniotic sac, also called chorion, detaches from the wall of the uterus, you experience this harmless type of bleeding and usually it stops on its own.&nbsp;If you notice any sign of constant bleeding, you need to go to doctors immediately for an ultrasound test. It can raise the risk of miscarriage or abortion.👩&zwj;⚕️🩸MiscarriageSpotting or bleeding, together with severe abdominal pain or cramping, can be signs of miscarriage.⚠️ However, sometimes you don&rsquo;t have any bleeding prior to miscarriage diagnosis.Feeling better, no longer having early pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness can also be an indicator to determine miscarriage.😟 You should consult with your doctor for a more detailed checkup.⚠️🩸Ectopic pregnancyBleeding can also be a warning of ectopic pregnancy. When the embryo implants outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes, bleeding accompanied with pains in the abdomen, pelvis or shoulder infers a threatened abortion.👶 Let your doctors know immediately to avoid this life-threatening situation.👩&zwj;⚕️&nbsp;🩸Molar pregnancyWhen the placenta doesn&rsquo;t develop properly, it can&rsquo;t nurse the embryo. You need to seek medical help immediately if this happens.👩&zwj;⚕️&nbsp;🩸InfectionAn infection can irritate your cervix and cause bleeding, especially after you have sex.👨&zwj;👧 Some types of infection are common such as yeast infection, herpes, chlamydia. As severe infections can lead to pregnancy complications, you have to ask your doctor👩&zwj;⚕️ for antibiotics or another treatment if necessary.&nbsp;

Spotting during pregnancy

You&rsquo;re paying attention to what you eat and medications you ingest. Gas and bloating are common symptoms at an early stage of pregnancy. If you have gas problems, this information is for you.<hr>Causes of bloating and gas during pregnancy<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1871/c21cdade-c1f9-456d-b102-aa61a4350496.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">😶Undigested carbohydratesGas is an uncomfortable result of a common process of digesting undigested carbohydrates.🍙 Gas enters your digestive tract when you swallow air and is released when bacteria in your large intestine breaks down carbohydrates.🦠😶CarbsCertain carbs can make you gas often.🍚 Fats contribute to a sense of bloating especially when you eat noodles at night because they slow down digestion.🌾😶Progesterone hormonesWhen you&rsquo;re pregnant, a high level of progesterone hormones relaxes your muscles and decelerates digestion.🤰 These relaxed muscles lead to more gas being released, bloating, burping, and flatulence after you have a big meal.😌You may experience bloating and gas a few times a day. Relax and unbutton your pants to make yourself more comfortable.😃&nbsp;<hr>Foods to avoid to help relieve pregnancy bloating and gas<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1871/28a9333b-55a3-4356-93af-98ebb34510ba.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">😶Beans, whole grains, and certain vegetablesCabbage, cauliflower🥦 , brussel sprouts, broccoli🥦, asparagus contain raffinose sugar, making people more gassy. Bloating and gas are inevitable symptoms but cutting down on these kinds of food is an effective way to relieve them a bit.🌳 🌿🥬&nbsp;😶FructoseFructose, also called fruit sugar, is found in leeks, onions, artichokes, dried fruit, ketchup, pears, honey, or apples.🍒 It is often added into processed foods. Together with carbonation, fructose in sodas and fruit drinks can result in bloating and gassy feelings.🥤😶Certain starchesExcept rice, wheat or corn🌾 can lead to bloating and gas because you may not have the enzyme to break down these complex carbohydrates. When they reach the colon, bacteria start feasting on them and producing gas.😃😶Fiber-rich foodsOat bran, beans, peas🥫 and many fruits are fiber-rich and produce gas after they are digested. Wheat bran, however, is not as easily broken down as other types of foods and suitable for you if you&rsquo;re constipated.🚽&nbsp;😶Dairy productsIf you&rsquo;re lactose intolerant, you&rsquo;re likely to get diarrhea, stomachache, and gas production after consuming dairy products.🥛 Try lactose free milk or calcium-fortified soy milk to enhance your calcium intake. If all these options are not available, consult with doctors for calcium supplements.👩&zwj;⚕️&nbsp;😶High fat and fried foodsThe fiber content of most fried foods is low, making them hard to digest and remain in the colon much longer. When they stay in your digestive tract for too long, you&rsquo;re likely to feel full and bloated.😃&nbsp;

Bloating and gas during pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the special moments when you are applauded for gaining weight and eating your favorite food as much as you want. Gaining enough pregnancy weight is critical to provide nutrients and support your baby&rsquo;s needs.&nbsp;<hr>Loss of appetite during pregnancy<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1862/26d980d4-cd16-480f-b13f-59bb9b94afaa.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🤢Nausea and vomitingLoss of appetite is one side effect of morning sickness and nausea.🤢 When morning sickness strikes and smell sensitivity triggers, you naturally walk away from strong scents, including the foods you once loved.🍲 Your appetite consequently becomes a bit shy when it comes to food.&nbsp;🤢Mental health conditionsDue to various physical and biochemical changes, you are prone to mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.😟 Depression during pregnancy is associated with decreased appetite for healthy food, increased intake of unhealthy food, leading to lower nutrients for the baby development.👶&nbsp;Health disorders may go undiagnosed if you don&rsquo;t speak up because of embarrassment. If you&rsquo;re experiencing any symptoms, please consult with doctors and trusted health professionals.👩&zwj;⚕️&nbsp;🤢Phobia of weight gainYou are afraid of gaining weight because you might adhere to a certain weight stigma or portray weight gain as a flaw.🙅&zwj;♀️ You are worried that you&rsquo;re not able to return to your old body once you eat vociferously.😟 If you&rsquo;re experiencing this sense of anxiety, please consult with doctors or therapists.&nbsp;<hr>How to treat appetite loss during pregnancy<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1862/03ea1d09-bd94-4b37-8eda-a92c21495be5.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🤢Eat small mealsIf your appetite loss is linked to nausea or vomiting, you can try to distribute meals into small portions but more frequent meals throughout the day. Little by little, you&rsquo;ll get used to the foods and increase your food intake.😋🍛🤢Food prioritizeTake your prenatal vitamins daily to ensure both you and your baby are getting enough nutrients. Drink plenty of water.🚰 You can try many kinds of foods that are simple to make, filling and easy on your stomach such as protein-rich snacks, bland veggies, fruits, or soup.🤤 &nbsp;

Appetite loss

You&rsquo;re eating not only for yourself but also for the baby. When you&rsquo;re pregnant, you should always stay alert and avoid all items that could potentially make you sick or badly affect your baby&rsquo;s health condition.<hr>Why should you avoid certain foods during pregnancy?<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1864/a8697c37-08b9-472f-a9e5-7ed9819f7cd0.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">Some foods are a shelter of bacteria like E.coli.🦠 Meanwhile, pregnancy also diminishes your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to all ailments like flu or common cold.🥶&nbsp;You are more likely to get sick or suffer from complications such as miscarriage or premature delivery if you have foodborne illness.😟 The disease which crosses the placenta will harmfully affect your baby, developing severe birth defects or serious infections.😔&nbsp;<hr>Foods to avoid during pregnancy<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1864/e85d9f43-be52-476c-b7ab-4617f48d4738.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🐟High mercury fishFish is loaded with brain-boosting nutrients and omega-3.🐟 However, some fish contain a dangerous level of mercury that is detrimental to your baby&rsquo;s developing nervous system.🧠&nbsp;The bigger and older the fish, the more mercury it carries. Avoid shark🦈, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and bigeye tuna. Limit white albacore to 6 ounces a week. Fish such as salmone, anchovies, cod, catfish, shrimp, trout, or sardines can be eaten up to 8 to 12 ounces per week.&nbsp;🥩Raw, undercooked foodRefrain from blood-red meat🥩 because they can harbor bacteria causing food poisoning such as E.coli or Salmonella. Uncooked fish in sashimi🍣, raw oysters should also be off-limits because the danger of ingesting bacteria or parasites is too high.&nbsp;Dishes having undercooked eggs🥚 are so prevalent such as soft scrambled eggs, homemade mousse, raw batter or cookie dough, mayonnaise. Pregnant moms🤰 who consume these rampant raw and undercooked eggs are prone to Salmonella infection.☕Too much caffeineCaffeine wakes you up when you&rsquo;re tired. However, too much caffeine can interfere with the ability to absorb iron, leading to anemia.☕&nbsp;It is time to switch to decaf ones. You should consume no more than 200 milligrams of caffeine a day. Any caffeine sources such as chocolate🍫, black or green tea, energy bars and coffee-flavored desserts, ice cream🍨, yogurts should also be controllably devoured to ensure the 200 milligram limit.&nbsp;🥛Unpasteurized dairy and juicesDairies such as skim milk🥛 and cheese🧀 can be a healthy part of your pregnancy diet. However, anything containing unpasteurized milk is a big no-no since they might have Listeria and other pathogens. Check your products&rsquo; label before making a purchase.🐄&nbsp;🍷AlcoholAlcohol is extremely harmful to your health during pregnancy so avoid it at all cost.🍷 The concentration of alcohol that goes into your bloodstream is also the same as that enters your baby, resulting in fetal alcohol syndrome, which can cause facial deformities and intellectual disability.☠️&nbsp;Toast happy events with healthy fruity juices! If you&rsquo;re concerned about alcohol that you drank before you knew you were pregnant, please consult your worries with doctors.👩&zwj;⚕️&nbsp;

Phew, never knew there are so many viruses causing skin disease! Here is the last list of the skin rashes. Let&#39;s continue💪!<hr>✔️ChickenpoxYou might be familiar with Chickenpox! Chickenpox got its nickname because the bumps look like chickpeas🐤. Varicella-zoster virus is the cause of Chickenpox, and it spreads very easily to people who haven&rsquo;t had the disease or gotten the vaccine yet. A red, itchy rash starts out on the face and soon it spreads through the body. The blisters are very itchy, and the virus also brings fever and headache.✔️RingwormIf you have a dog or cat living at your house🐕, you are probably familiar with Ringworm disease. Ringworm is a fungal infection that forms red patches that grow ring-like round shapes. When a fungus lives on the skin or scalp in a warm and moist environment, it grows out of control and develops Ringworm. It can also be transferred by contact with infected people or animals like cats or dogs. Luckily the infection is mild, but the rash could be itchy and uncomfortable. Using antifungal cream will soothe the infected area🧴.&nbsp;✔️ImpetigoImpetigo is a bacterial skin infection. It makes red rashes and brown, crusty oozy sores😵. Often these marks start to form around the mouth and nose and spread to other vulnerable parts such as the diaper area. The bacteria easily spreads from contact with an infected person, and it is more active in humid, high-temperature conditions. Antibiotics are used for treatment.✔️MeaslesMeasles shows similar symptoms to a cold at first. After 4 to 5 days, pink rashes will start to develop all over the baby&rsquo;s body, and coughing will start. Baby&rsquo;s temperature can rise up to 104&deg;F🤒! &nbsp;The symptoms last for 2 to 3 days and diminish in 7 to 10 days after the outbreak. However, if the baby gets bad Measles, it can lead to serious problems such as hearing loss, pneumonia, and swelling of the brain. Currently, The MMR vaccine is given to babies aged 12 to 15 months to protect against Measles. &nbsp;✔️Scarlet fever Scarlet fever is when your little one gets a red rash all over the body because of strep throat. A high Fever of over 103&deg;F develops all of a sudden, and sore throat, and headache follows. The baby&rsquo;s tongue changes abnormally as well. It gets coated with white and red, which somewhat looks like a strawberry🍓! The disease can be easily treated with antibiotics, but it can be dangerous to miss the timing, so you should act fast if you see any of these symptoms arises!🏃&zwj;♀️✔️Lyme disease Lyme disease is transmitted through the bite of ticks🪲. Young children are exposed to Lyme disease because they are likely to play outside and spend time in woody and grassy areas, where ticks might bite. When the baby gets infected, a red rash starts to appear along with flu-like symptoms🤒. The disease easily goes away with antibiotics in the early stages. However, if it is left untreated, it can cause serious complications over time, so early treatment is important!

You thought the battle is over? Oh no, not yet! Here is the second part of the list of skin rashes you should be aware of!🔥<hr>✔️Food allergyFood allergy occurs when a baby is sensitive to certain food and an unusual reaction appears in his/her body🤒. Common allergens include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy. Feeding a small amount of common allergen food one by one before starting baby food, or asking a doctor for an allergy test might help to distinguish which food your baby is allergic to.&nbsp;Allergic reactions can differ by individual, including a red, itchy rash, vomiting and nausea, watery and red eyes with sneezing🤧. Some serious reactions could cause trouble breathing or swelling of the lips and tongue. So if you notice any abnormal symptoms after feeding, observe the symptom carefully and discuss it with your doctor.✔️Hand, foot, and mouth diseaseHand, foot, and mouth disease (HFM) is a common virus for kids under 5. The name originated from its main symptom which makes rashes and blisters on the baby&rsquo;s hands, mouth, and feet. Flu-like symptoms such as high fever and sore throat follow🌡️. The virus is very contagious and spreads very easily, so if your baby is infected with HFM, you should separate him/her from other young children🙅&zwj;♀️.&nbsp;✔️Fifth diseaseIf your baby has a low fever and cold-like symptoms for several days and a red rash starts to form on the cheeks😳, you need to doubt if it&rsquo;s Fifth disease. Fifth disease is caused by parvovirus B19. It is contagious, but only in the early phase which is before a rash starts to appear. This is common, especially in kids aged 5 to 15, but it also occurs in some toddlers and babies.✔️HivesBacterial infections, food reactions, plants or bug bites can make hives on the skin. It is a skin condition with red and raised bumps😵&zwj;💫. They can be itchy, but mostly they don&rsquo;t bother your baby at all. It is hard to know what causes hives, but allergy is one of the major influences. If you could record the recent food or medication intakes💊, it helps to track down the possible cause of hives. It might look serious, but it&rsquo;s not contagious.✔️SunburnWhen your baby was exposed to sunlight for too long☀️, sunburn can develop on their skin! As you might already have experienced during previous vacations, sunburn can happen even on cloudy days. Especially since babies&rsquo; skin is weak and sensitive, they are more vulnerable to the sun, and can feel more pain than we do😖! We all already know how to avoid sunburns. Put sunscreens when you bring your little one outside, and cover them with long sleeves to minimize sun exposure.

Skin rashes in babies and toddlers - Part 2

My little one started scratching! Her skin turned red and covered with weird bumps😵! What should I do?&nbsp;Don&rsquo;t panic, we&rsquo;ll help you!💪<hr>What causes rashes in children?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3907/7ca9392c-4fc7-46bd-bf24-389c636ed4d0.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">There are various factors that cause skin rashes at young ages. Most skin rashes are no big deal that will go away as time passes or with medication.&nbsp;If it seems like the rash isn&rsquo;t bothering your cutie, all you need to do is just keep him/her comfy until the skin returns to normal. If it bothers you and your baby, it is always a good idea to call the doctor.<hr>Here is a list of the most common causes of skin rashes✔️Diaper rashDiaper rash is when a red rash appears around a baby&rsquo;s genital area or buttocks. Urine and diarrhea is the major reason for skin irritation and itchiness, so it is important to change the baby&rsquo;s diaper frequently. If your baby&rsquo;s skin is sensitive👶, an ingredient in a diaper or wipe could also cause the rash.&nbsp;Usually, diaper rashes can be prevented and removed with simple treatments at home. Giving a little time and air-drying the genital area when changing diapers could help a lot from skin irritation. You can get ointments for rash from drug stores without a doctor&rsquo;s prescription, so you might want to try them if you think the baby needs some treatments🩹.✔️EczemaEczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, causes dry, inflamed, and itchy skin conditions that can develop as a chronic skin disease. Eczema patches tend to be very itchy, so the babies feel very uncomfortable when the patches arise😢.&nbsp;The exact causes of eczema are uncertain yet, but experts assume it&rsquo;s coming from environmental irritants and allergens like scratchy fabrics, dust, use of home liquids, and foods. It can be managed by keeping skin hydrated and avoiding known triggers, so taking good care of the surroundings is important🧹.✔️Bug bitesWe have all experienced bug bites🐜. As we all know, when an insect bites, skin inflames and turns red. It gets itchy, and painful sometimes! Avoiding contact with bugs is the only solution. Wear clothes and cover your baby&rsquo;s skin as much as possible. There are gentle bug repellents that are safe for babies, so you could try them when you take your baby outside🏕️, especially at dawn and night because that is when bugs are active.&nbsp;✔️Dry skinHave you had a moment when you feel like you need extra hydration to your skin? Your baby can have that feeling too! Baby skin is extra sensitive and produces fewer moisturizing oils than grown-ups, which makes it vulnerable to cold air, long baths, drooling, scented lotions, or irritating home chemicals like soaps🧼 or detergents.&nbsp;If dry skin happens, your baby&rsquo;s skin can turn red, and look rough or flaky. Cracking and peeling can also happen, and itchiness could be painful if it gets worse! Constant moisturizing is the key. Use a humidifier if the room is dry, and keep putting lotions🧴 on your baby will help!✔️RoseolaRoseola usually appears in babies aged 6 to 24 months, when the baby&rsquo;s immunity is at its weakest. The virus is highly contagious as well🦠, and it can be passed through sneezing or touching contaminated surfaces.The infection starts with a high fever and sore throat, and you&rsquo;ll notice some redness arises around your baby&rsquo;s eyes. A few days after that, rose-colored rashes will appear and spread around the baby&rsquo;s torso (the name Roseola came from this!🥀). Fortunately, rashes from Roseola don&rsquo;t leave any discharge or scab, and the virus fades within a week without any special treatment.

Skin rashes in babies and toddlers - Part 1

Toddlers can sometimes turn into little wrestlers, but it&#39;s all part of their development. Encourage them to express themselves differently and help them learn about emotions. 😊🧡<hr>Why toddlers hit<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/5427/1f1a91eb-b077-44a3-af64-8a04cc8c5b57.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%;">Toddlers, with their developing independence and enthusiasm, sometimes grapple with communication limitations that can lead to episodes of frustration and, yes, the occasional bout of hitting. 🧗&zwj;♂️Hitting usually peaks around age 2 or 3 for several reasons. First, toddlers are often testing limits as they explore their independence. Second, they&#39;re developing impulse control, but it&#39;s a work in progress, making it challenging to curb the urge to hit when frustration strikes. Third, as they begin to grasp social skills like sharing and taking turns, they might resort to hitting when things don&#39;t go their way. Fourth, when intense emotions bubble up &ndash; whether due to excitement, stress, anger, or sadness &ndash; toddlers may turn to hitting as a way to express themselves before they&#39;ve fully mastered the art of words. 👶💬<hr>How to respond when your toddler hits<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/5427/c8cc7241-d3a3-416c-a303-bb08651a9d21.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%;">When your toddler tests the hitting waters, remain calm and consistent. Set clear boundaries and respond immediately, using a timeout strategy for one minute per year of age. Encourage alternative activities during this cool-down period, like playing with Play-Doh to help them manage their emotions. 🥁Avoid lengthy lectures and physical punishment like spanking, as they don&#39;t effectively teach emotional regulation. Use logical consequences instead &ndash; for instance, if they misbehave in a ball pit, remove them and explain they can return when they can play nicely. Remember, overstimulating environments can challenge their impulse control. 💁&zwj;♀️Consistency is crucial in addressing hitting episodes. After the situation cools down, discuss what happened, emphasizing that while it&#39;s okay to feel angry, hitting is not an acceptable way to express it. Encourage them to find healthier ways to manage their emotions! 💪<hr>Ways to stop when your toddler hits<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/5427/58d22af8-ffc2-4e56-84e9-a8a2e8023241.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%;">Recognize patterns in your toddler&#39;s behavior &ndash; if you notice they tend to get feisty right before a nap when they&#39;re overtired, create a soothing, low-key environment during those times. When you&#39;re out and about, say at the park or mall, and they&#39;re overwhelmed by the sensory circus, consider giving them a gentle breather. 🎈Boost positive behavior reinforcement by acknowledging their good moments. Celebrate when they ask politely for a turn on the swing instead of resorting to playground tussles. Show them the power of their words, making good behavior more rewarding. 😆Be mindful of their media consumption &ndash; some children&#39;s shows and games can contain intense scenes of shouting and shoving. 👓 Opt for high-quality, age-appropriate content, especially if your toddler is sensitive to the influences they encounter.

Aggression, Hitting, and Biting

The definition of positive parenting varies but the core idea can be summed up to warm, positive family interactions and guidelines!<hr>Tips for positive parenting<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3240/8be28f30-2fdb-4c5a-a038-10251ea0017d.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪Get inside your child&rsquo;s headAlthough on the outside your child&rsquo;s behaviors look unjustified and irrational, they are motivated by legitimate needs.🧸 If you can get inside their heads, you can address their needs. Always keep in mind that they are still developing and give them the benefit of the doubt.😎👪Empathetic, supportive and constructiveYou don&rsquo;t have to agree with your child&rsquo;s demands all the time. Instead, the goal is to be the kind of arbitrator and mentor you would want for yourself and your baby.😀Your kid would love a parent who is prepared to listen to their side of the story and reassure them that they are being heard.💖 They know that they will get a fair-minded and sympathetic hearing. You are the one who will reason with them, use encouragement and humor to steer them away from negative emotions while introducing solutions.🥰👪The art of distractionIf you notice that your baby has gotten hold of a forbidden object, you just camly remove it and show your child something else. Look at these colorful toys!🪅 Your child might be attracted to them immediately when you find them more interesting. &nbsp;Distraction is useful for old kids too. When your child is overwhelmed by feelings of outrage and confinement, they don&rsquo;t know how to stop but they can divert their focus into something else.👀👪Humor and playfulnessJokes and silliness are considered excellent distractions.😚 Your kid might feel more excited and motivated if you make requests with humor and transform work into play.👪Make sure that most of your interactions are positiveKids are mirrors, reflecting images of what happens around them.🪞 Positive social interactions create more trusting family relationships and motivate kids to be cooperative.<hr>More tips for positive parenting<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3240/af053bd6-49a1-4509-a0ee-1b19a381bf54.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪Validate your kid&rsquo;s reasonsIt&rsquo;s important that you don&rsquo;t expect your kids to read your mind.😊 Two-way conversations are much more beneficial when you don&rsquo;t just recite the rules but rather to explain the rationale of the rules and undertake your baby&rsquo;s questions and concerns.👪Try to say yes as much as possible&ldquo;No&rdquo; can be viewed as a negative word that fuels resentment and resistance since your kid is not yet able to understand how to learn from negative feedback. Parental criticism can also trigger feelings of hopelessness.😞 Hence, you should either suggest alternatives and help the kid accept different options.&nbsp;👪Catch children at being goodIt&rsquo;s crucial that you give praise at the right moment.😘 Children may respond to rewards and compliments more readily than punishments. After your kid finishes homework, let&rsquo;s offer simple praise &ldquo;well done!&rdquo; for the kid&rsquo;s good behavior.👪Be a good mentorTalking with your child about their feelings and discussing helpful strategies for handling difficult emotions indicate your respect for your kid and your willingness to offer sympathetic hearing.👂 You also provide your little one with concrete support and assurance that no matter what, mommy is right here!&nbsp;

Let&rsquo;s go check them out if there is any serious injury!<hr>What should you do when your baby just falls off?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3231/7244cf82-aeb8-4270-9764-7f8d3be60573.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👶The baby looks okay to youThe moment your baby falls off gives you an adrenaline rush.🏃&zwj;♀️ You run as fast as you can to your baby to make sure that your child doesn&rsquo;t have any serious wounds.If the baby looks okay, probably the fall doesn&rsquo;t cause serious injury or break some bones.🦴 You still need to continue observing your baby for the next 24 hours to see if any symptoms develop.&nbsp;👶The baby feels uncomfortableIf your baby is crying out loud, probably they must have gotten hurt or they are irritable because of the fall.😭 The best decision is to take them to the doctor to get checked out thoroughly.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s not necessary to keep the child awake although it&rsquo;s better to monitor their health when they are still active.🤾&zwj;♀️ What is dangerous is that they probably fall on their head, feel dizzy and want to sleep but can&#39;t easily wake up. If they sleep, you should wake them after two hours to see if the child is still alert.💤<hr>Stay calm to identify serious signs<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3231/496588b0-fcb3-451f-8b00-44f29e38c6d6.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👶Simple signsYou can&rsquo;t help feeling anxious when you see your child crying nonstop.😭 If the baby just has a light bump, their tears come from pain or fright and will not last longer than 10 minutes.&nbsp;👶Serious signsConstant headache or dizziness can be the result of a serious hit.🤕 Your baby might be extremely irritable and cry incessantly. More severely, you may see them excessively sleepy and have a difficult time waking up. The baby might vomit after a strong hit on their head.🤮<hr>Treatment for your baby<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3231/644751a4-aa6b-4700-a75a-cae4e3fa85f4.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👶Treatment at homeIf you have successfully ruled out serious injury, you can treat your baby&rsquo;s mild bump at home. Wrap an ice pack🧊 in a thin towel or diaper and hold it onto the bump for fifteen or twenty minutes. You can nurse them or say something sweet to your little one to soothe them and distract them from the pain.😀If your baby is constantly in pain, you can give them the appropriate amount of acetaminophen or ibuprofen.💊 Avoid aspirin because it can cause a rare but serious condition called Reye&rsquo;s syndrome.👶Call the ER!If your child experiences loss of consciousness, unresponsiveness, non stop bleeding, you have to call for an emergency.🚑 Any signs of a fractured bone, a concussion, inability to walk steadily or talk, prolonged screaming indicate your baby can be in danger. You have to talk to their doctor immediately and take the baby to the emergency room.👩&zwj;⚕️

What if your baby falls?

That nervous feeling when you&rsquo;re about to meet your baby for the first time is engraved in your heart.💓 You just look at them in awe every time and gain strength to become the best parents for them. But you can&rsquo;t avoid stress along the way&hellip;<hr>Parenting stress<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3234/f35db480-c86e-4079-b434-9cf543dd0373.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪What is parenting stress?Parenting stress is the distress when you feel you can&rsquo;t cope as a parent.😞 After pregnancy, expectations and demands placed on you are so high that you seem to run out of resources and strength to meet them.&nbsp;👪What causes parenting stress?The causation varies depending on each family. Stress can originate from poor economic status, inadequate support system, and exposure to hostility.⚔️ Anything that makes you worry about your ability to protect your child and thrive can contribute to parenting stress.🙁<hr>Ways to cope with parenting stress<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3234/96a703ed-89e8-4ef2-8774-ac4322d93a12.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪Reach out for supportParenting is a lot easier if you have your supporters on your side.👪 Contact your friends, family members and especially your partner to share your feelings. You can always count on their support for emotional support, financial aid💰 and childcare help.If you don&rsquo;t live near friends or relatives, you can look for local parenting cooperatives, online communities and trained therapis&zwj;ts.😀 Enrolling in parenting classes can be helpful too as you can seek new friends, reduce your feelings of guilt and stress while gaining more knowledge.👪Avoid unnecessary exposure to signals that drag you downAfter a very brief exposure to negative emotional content, it&rsquo;s natural that you pay attention more to upsetting images, replay bad memories and worry about the future. Such thoughts keep circulating in your head, causing more anxiety and gloom.😥Overdosing on bad news spikes up your stress levels, undermines yourself and hurts you gradually. Instead, try to put yourself together, think constructively, think brightly.🤔 Everything will be just fine and you can do it!&nbsp;👪Focus on the goodYou can induce good moods by downloading happy memories into your head. Do you remember when your little one just took the first step or called your name for the first time? When you return home from work, remember how you feel when you see your child&rsquo;s smiles and hugs.🤗Reflect on good memories and read jokes, uplifting stories to make you feel better. Focusing on acts of kindness and positive messages will help you decrease stress responses.😀👪Re-appraise the situationWe often think that we are good at predicting things if we have a plan. Actually, we are pretty bad at anticipating future discomforts. Sometimes, stressful things just occur along the way.😞When bad things happen, you may find a coping strategy when you reconsider the situation from a new angle. Stop dwelling too much on your personal emotional reactions, try to view the problem with more objectivity.💪&nbsp;

Parenting stress

Parenting isn&rsquo;t one-size-fit-alls. You might feel a lot of pressure to pick one style of parenting, in reality, the act of parenting is a true journey, not a set of required practices. You&rsquo;re welcome to take your time to figure it out.😀<hr>Attachment parenting<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3236/06210511-ece5-44c5-ae2b-f2760ad42f0c.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪Definition of attachment parenting?Attachment parenting is not all about a frenetic attempt to deliver the fastest responses when your baby sends a signal. It&rsquo;s actually about finding a balance between parents&rsquo; lives and childcare duties.⚖️The ancestral implication that mothers are designed to devote themselves to child-rearing to the point that they can&rsquo;t have a private life is out-dated.⚠️ Something is wrong if you and your baby cannot enjoy the parenting journey. What it truly means is attending to your child&rsquo;s cues and taking action accordingly that suits both you and your baby.🥰👪Common practices of attachment parentingIf you choose attachment parenting, you may find yourself frequently holding your baby, breastfeeding🤱 whenever your little one cries even in the middle of the night.🌙 You become sensitive and responsive to your child&rsquo;s emotions. You decide to co-sleep with your baby to monitor them better.<hr>Benefits of attachment parenting<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3236/d5c89260-f950-4fef-b450-c0319fec5b86.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪Secure bondsUnlike unresponsive and more controlling parents, sensitive mothers tend to pay attention more to the child&rsquo;s interests and needs.👂 The quality of communication between you and your child indicates more secure attachment relationships.👪Promote independenceInfants are less likely to develop fearful tendencies if they know that you are always there by their side.👩&zwj;👦 They show a greater level of positive mood, more constructive coping and better regulation of emotion on their own.&nbsp;👪Help children cope with stressSkin-to-skin contacts and co-sleeping can help your baby develop a healthy stress response system, improved sleep patterns and better cognitive control.🧠 Once the kid receives warm and sensitive parenting, they are protected from brain-shrinking stress and autoimmune disorders.👪Fewer behavior problemsSecurely - attached children are less likely to develop behavior problems since they develop better cognitive flexibility and perspective taking-skills.🤗 Moreover, if they are engaged in mutually responsive, positive reactions with you, it is more likely that they develop consciences and comply with adult instructions.😛

Attachment parenting

Whenever your baby feels sad or angry, do you try to empathize with their emotion or just ignore and move on? Emotionally supportive relationships can be beneficial more than you think.😎<hr>Emotion coaching<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3239/aeed4dab-1fdf-4c16-b65f-d6f77fdb76ee.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪What is emotion coaching?Based on the principle that emotionally supportive relationships provide the best context for children to grow up, emotion coaching is the practice of helping your baby learn to self-regulate negative emotions when you tune in your child&rsquo;s feelings and show empathy.🤗 Because the kid is not capable of handling difficult emotions and having rich life experiences like adults, you are the ultimate guide who needs to accept and validate their feelings, helps them label emotions with words and instructs them to overcome hardships.🤱👪Why kids need you to emphasize?Young children lack our life experiences and are incompetent at reading others&rsquo; feelings and intentions. Your kid needs you to guide them to learn and practice.👩&zwj;🏫Some kids have a tougher time than others at mood management. The key is you can provide help and teach them to handle those emotional storms.😀<hr>Ways that emotion coaching works<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3239/0d81a628-7de5-4ac6-a284-aa790aa501e1.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">👪Notice signs before your child&rsquo;s emotions get intenseIs your kid looking a bit frustrated?😤 Although your initial reaction might be to ignore it and regard negative emotions as offensive, this is actually the golden opportunity for you to better understand your child and help them cope with it.💪Talk to your child how they look different now and ask the reason why they behave so.️ If you suspect a trigger, gently bring it up so that the child feels like they are being heard.😀👪Listen, validate and show empathyYou need to stay calm even though your child is furious in front of you.😌 What you really need to do is to relate to your kid&rsquo;s experiences by drawing parallels in your own life.Imagine when you are upset at your coworkers when something goes wrong at your work. That is also your child&rsquo;s feelings when they are rejected or humiliated at school.🏫 You can relate to the situation and understand why your kid feels that way.😇👪Find verbal labels for emotionsAs you listen and empathize with your kids, you can help them identify what exactly their feelings are.😍 Learning how to verbalize emotions teaches them to shift into a more detached and analytical point of view and view emotions as a normal reaction to a triggering situation.&nbsp;The method isn&rsquo;t merely telling your baby how they should feel. But rather to ask questions, align with our own experiences and help them understand their own emotions better.🤗👪Allow your child to take time to calm downPowerful emotions, such as anger, anxiety trigger a fight or flight response. They block the ability to reason and control impulses, making us vulnerable to overreacting.🛡️The same thing happens to your child. If your baby is highly distressed about an uncomfortable situation, let them take a pause and allow the stress response to wind down.😮&zwj;💨 Don&rsquo;t be tempted to start problem-solving and expect them to reason with you when they are not ready.

임신을 했는데 운동을 할까? 말까? 고민 중이신가요?🙄 임신 중에는 안정이 최고라는 말들이 많아 운동을 앞두고 생각이 많아지는 엄마들도 계실 거예요. 모든 운동이 임산부에게 악영향을 주는 것은 아니니 어떤 운동을 하면 순산에 도움이 될 지 빌리와 함께 알아보아요!임산부에게 운동은 좋다는데?<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/c7cacc25-0ad9-4e84-839c-619c9a22d360.webp"/>흠~ 귀찮은데과거에는 임산부라면 무조건 안정이라는 생각이 지배적이었고 실제로 임산부가 운동을 한다고 하면 위험하다고 말리기까지 했다고 해요. 하지만 이젠 많은 연구 자료📃와 임신 선배들의 경험담들이 임신 중에 적절한 운동🚶‍♀️을 권장하고 있죠.임산부에게 적절한 운동은 과한 체중 증가와 임신성 당뇨를 막아주기도 하고 임산부의 스트레스를 감소시켜 태아에게도 아주 좋은 영향을 미쳐요! 또한 임신 중의 지속적인 운동은 자연분만의 성공률을 올릴 수 있는 아주 좋은 방법 중 하나에요. 그렇다면 언제부터 어떻게 어떤 운동을 하는 것이 좋을까 궁금하실 텐데요. 임신 초기 운동에 대해 알아볼까요?뭐든지 과유불급! 운동도 상황에 맞게!<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/080c7a31-8c8f-48b7-86bf-dd91fe76b80b.webp"/>그래도 죠아! 가는 거야!!임신 초기에는 절대 안정기라고 할 정도로 무리하지 않고 안정을 취하는 것이 중요해요. 이 시기에는 태반이 튼튼하지 않고 아기집이 자리를 잡지 않았을 수도 있으니 격한 운동은 절대 금물🙅‍♀️! 또한 피고임 증상이 있거나 유산의 위험이 있는 경우에는 운동은 독이 될 수 있어요. 이런 증상을 겪었을 경우에는 의사👨‍⚕️의 상담 후에 운동을 하도록 해요.이런 운동을 추천해요!<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/1e61de7b-646e-47e4-8a94-ee39e3287fa3.webp"/>응? 응? 응응응?🚶‍♀️걷기임신 초기부터 쭉 할 수 있는 운동이에요. 심지어 출산 당일에도 아이를 빨리 출산하기 위해서 하는 운동 중 하나예요. 걷기는 무리가 가지 않는 좋은 운동 중의 하나예요. 저녁 먹고 남편과 함께하는 산책은 몸뿐만 아니라 기분 전환에도 좋겠죠?🧘‍♀️요가임산부들이 가장 많이 하는 운동은 요가예요. 요가는 뻐근해진 몸을 개운하게 하기도 하며 평소에 쓰지 않는 근육을 이완 수축시켜주기 때문에 체력향상에도 아주 좋은 운동이에요. 임신 전부터 해왔다면 문제없지만 처음 하는 임산부들에게는 무리를 주는 동작은 피하도록 해요.🏊‍♀️수영수영은 임산부에게 매우 좋은 운동으로, 산부인과 의사들이 항상 추천하는 운동이에요! 배의 무게를 거의 느끼지 않으면서 몸을 자유자재로 움직일 수 있고 전신운동까지 가능하기 때문에, 몸에 무리를 주지 않으면서도 효과적인 운동이죠. 특히 전신운동이기 때문에 평소 사용하지 않던 모세혈관에 산소가 운반되어 소화가 잘 되지 않는 임산부의 신진대사가 활발해지는 것을 돕고, 궁극적으로 순산에도 도움이 된다고 해요! 하지만 수영할 때, 태아에게 산소 부족을 초래할 수 있는 오랜 잠수는 피하도록 하고, 접영과 평영은 허리에 부담을 주므로 피해 보아요. 그리고 임신 초기와 출산 한 달 전에는 수영을 비롯한 과격한 운동은 하지 않는 것이 권장돼요. 수영장에서 미끄러지지 않는 것이 무엇보다 중요하니 천천히 걷는 것 잊지 마세요! 그래도 물속에서는 몸이 가벼워져 임신으로 약해진 관절에 무리가 가지 않고 태아에게도 편안한 환경을 만들어 주니, 우리 모두 수영하자구요!이런 운동은 조심해요!<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/94c95b1e-d9d3-4ee0-a79a-acc23ed985f7.webp"/>조심하세요!임산부에게 운동이 좋다고 해도 좋지 않은 운동들도 있답니다!😞 임산부가 하지 않는 것이 좋은 임신초기운동은 과연 무엇일까요?넘어지기 쉬운 승마, 스키, 야외 사이클 등은 피하고 격투기나 구기운동⛹️은 너무 격한 운동이기 때문에 하지 않는 것이 좋아요. 수영은 좋지만 스쿠버 다이빙은 물속 깊이 들어가야 하기 때문에 태아에게 압력을 가할 수 있으며 숨을 참는 운동은 피해주세요! 위에 말씀드린 운동들이 평소에 즐겨 하고 몸에 익숙한 운동들이라도 임신 중에는 잠시 '안녕'🙋‍♀️하고 출산 후 보자구요!이럴 때 주의하세요! <img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/fd7a3e80-5638-4c98-8cd3-45a522f91820.webp"/>역시 정신건강이 최고야~ 흐믓(짝짝짝)질 출혈이나 물 같은 분비물, 호흡곤란, 자궁 수축, 태아의 활동 감소👶 등을 겪는다면 즉시 운동을 중단해주세요. 운동을 중단하고 약간의 휴식 후 그래도 몸이 이상하거나 증상이 심했었다면 전문의의 진찰을 받아야 해요.👨‍⚕️ 운동이 좋다고 해서 몸이 피곤하거나 너무 하기 싫을 때 억지로 할 필요는 없어요! 엄마가 행복해야 아기도 행복하니까 웃으면서 상쾌하게 하는 운동이 가장 좋은 운동이랍니다🌸

임신초기 임신부도 운동해요!

미세하게 태동을 느끼기 시작하면 비로소 엄마 안에 아기가 있다는 사실을 새삼 느끼게 되는데요.🤰🏻 그러고 나면 아이의 행동에 대해 궁금하기 시작해요. 지금은 자는 걸까?😴 지금은 놀고 있는 걸까? 과연 태아 때의 아이들은 엄마 배 속에서 뭘 하고 있을지 궁금하지 않으신가요? 오늘은 태아의 일상에 대해 알아볼게요.👀<hr/>태아의 일상에 대한 QnA<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/577a3b55-628c-41a7-a4e6-7bc55a64eb7a.webp"/>태아의 일상에 대한 모든 것~!!1️⃣ 엄마가 자면 태아도 잘까요?엄마와 함께 생활하기 때문에 엄마가 자면 태아도 함께 자겠지 하는 엄빠들이 많을 텐데요. 엄마가 잠을 자도 태아에게는 아무런 영향을 미치지 않는다고 해요.🙅‍♀️ 배 속에 있는 태아는 낮과 밤을 스스로 구분할 수도 없고 수시로 자고 일어나기를 반복한다고 해요.👀 때문에 엄마가 잠이 들어도 태아는 잠이 들지 않아서 새벽에 일정하게 태동을 느끼는 엄마들도 많다고 해요. 2️⃣ 태아는 왜 딸꾹질할까?엄마는 언젠가부터 배에서 일정하고 짧은 진동을 느끼게 되는데요.✨ 이것은 태아가 딸꾹질하는 것이에요. 혹시 탯줄이 목에 걸린 것이 아닐까 하는 엄빠들이 있는데 그건 사실이 아니라고 해요. 태아들은 엄마의 심장박동에도 딸꾹질을 하기도 하고, 폐로 숨을 쉬는 연습 중에 양수가 들어가 딸꾹질이 나오기도 해요.💧 딸꾹질은 짧으면 10분 길게는 30분까지도 할 수 있다고 하니 너무 걱정하지 않으셔도 돼요.3️⃣ 태아는 어떻게 대소변을 보나요?태아의 소변은 임신 12주부터 만들어지고 16~18주부터 하루에 650㎖씩 배출하기 시작해요. 만약 태아가 소변을 잘 보지 못하면 양수과소증이 올 만큼 소변이 안정적인 양수에 큰 역할을 해요.💪 태아는 양수에 소변을 보고 다시 그 양수를 삼키는 걸 반복하는데, 양수는 외부의 균이 들어가지 않는 이상 무균 상태이므로 소변을 삼켜도 전혀 문제가 되지 않는다고 해요🙆. 배변💩의 경우 정상적인 태아는 자궁 내에서 배변하지 않아요. 하지만 저산소증에 빠지거나 스트레스를 받는 경우, 혹은 예정일에 가까워질 때 변을 배출하기도 하는데 이를 태변이라고 해요. 이런 태변의 경우 분만 직전이나 분만 도중에 태아가 태변에 오염된 양수를 폐로 흡입하는 ‘태변흡인증후군’을 조심⚠️해야 하는데요. 폐로 들어간 태변은 폐에 독성물질로 작용해 기도를 막거나 호흡곤란, 폐렴 등 문제를 일으키기 때문이에요.4️⃣ 태아는 어떻게 숨을 쉬나요?태아의 폐는 임신 34주가 지나야 발달이 완성된다고 해요.👌 따라서 성인처럼 자발적인 폐호흡이 아닌 엄마와 연결된 탯줄로 산소를 공급받고 이산화탄소를 배출해요. 세상 밖으로 나오자마자 폐로 숨을 쉬어야 하므로 미리 배 속에서 연습하는데,😮‍💨 태아의 호흡 운동은 임신 10주부터 나타나 점차 빈도가 늘어나요. 또 이 호흡 운동은 엄마가 음식을 먹은 이후 혈당이 높아질 때나 야간에 증가하는 반면 조기진통, 만삭 진통 직전, 조기양막파수, 양수 양막염, 태아발육지연 시에는 감소하게 돼요.5️⃣ 태아도 촉감이 발달하나요?태아의 촉감은 다른 감각에 비해 빨리 발달하는 편이에요.🖐️ 임신 8주쯤이면 피부 감각을 느끼고, 6개월 정도 되면 생후 1년 된 아이와 비슷한 정도로 촉감이 발달해요. 태아는 엄마 배 속에서 아픈 것을 느끼기도 하고, 차갑고 따뜻한 느낌❄️, 압박감도 느끼게 돼요. 자궁은 1분에 1회씩 규칙적으로 수축과 이완을 반복하는데, 이는 태아가 좋아하는 피부 자극이라고 해요.🥰 자궁이 수축하면서 느껴지는 압박감은 태아의 뇌를 자극해 뇌 발달을 도와주므로 엄마가 느긋하게 산책하면 태아에게도 좋은 자극이 된다고 해요.6️⃣ 태아는 왜 배 속에서는 울지 않고 태어날 때 우나요?배 속의 태아는 공기를 마시거나 소리를 낼 수 있는 환경이 아니라 울지 못한다고 해요. 출생 직후 울음😭을 터뜨리는 건 정상적인 폐호흡의 시작을 의미해요. 아이가 태어나자마자 호흡을 시작하면 공기가 폐로 들어가 폐포가 펴지면서 울음💧 을 터트린다고 해요.

주목! 태아보험 꿀팁 대방출🎁

아이를 가지기 전에는 커피☕도 탄산음료도 자유롭게 마실 수 있었지만, 임신하게 되면 커피의 카페인으로 인해서 커피를 마시지 않고 대체할 수 있는 차를 마시는 경우가 많은데요. 차도 임신부와 태아에게 좋은 것과 좋지 않은 것이 있다는 걸 알고 계시나요?<hr/>엄마가 마시면 좋아요<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/c1695d38-06bd-41d3-bac2-9fcfeed9cb3b.gif" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>따뜻한 차 한 잔!물 대신 마셔도 좋아요. 루이보스티루이보스티는 카페인이 없는 것으로 유명한 대표적인 허브 티🍵예요. 엄마 뿐만 아니라 어린아이들도 함께 마셔도 좋으며, 물 대신에 섭취하여도 괜찮은 차랍니다. 루이보스티는 홍차의 한 종류인데요. 은은하고 구수한 향이 마시기 편하고, 몸속의 노폐물을 내보내 주는 독소제거 효과도 있다고 합니다. 또한, 알레르기 완화 효과도 있고, 다이어트에도 도움이 되는 차로 알려지기도 하였어요.임신 초기에 배앓이를 하거나 위산 역류가 있다면 루이보스티를 추천하기도 해요. 소화에 도움을 주기 때문이에요. 또한 철분과 미네랄 흡수에도 도움을 주는 차이기 때문에 임신 초기에 챙겨 먹는 것을 추천 드려요. 단, 마실 때 향이나 맛이 밍밍하게 느껴질 수 있는데 이때는 우유나 꿀🍯을 타서 마시는 것도 좋아요.비타민C가 풍부해요. 유자차와 모과차유자차와 모과차는 엄마에게 좋은 비타민C🍋가 상당히 많이 들어있는 차예요. 비타민C는 면역력에 좋으므로, 태아의 면역력 증대에 도움이 되고, 엄마의 면역력도 도움이 된답니다. 또한, 태아의 성장에 꼭 필요한 철분 성분을 돕는 효과도 있어서 유자차를 추천해요. 시중에 판매되고 있는 유자차에는 설탕 함량이 높아 당이 오를 수 있으니 될 수 있으면 하루 2잔 이하🍵로 마시는 것이 좋아요. 모과차는 피부 진정효과가 있어, 트러블이 계속해서 생기는 엄마라면 피부 진정과 탄력에도 많은 도움을 준다고 해요.<hr/>임신 중 마시면 좋아요! <img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/237bdbe6-aa58-434a-a0fa-988c35139ca6.gif" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>차에 이런 효능이 있다니?!자궁을 튼튼하게 해줘요. 오미자차오미자차는 예부터 엄마의 건강과 자궁의 건강에 도움이 된다고 하여 임산부들이 많이 마시던 차라고 해요. 오미자차는 몸에 따뜻한 기운💨을 불어넣어 주고, 혈액순환을 도우며, 자궁을 튼튼하게 해주기 때문에 임신 초기부터 마셔주는 것이 좋아요.미국 산부인과에서 권해줘요. 라즈베리잎차출산을 앞둔 엄마의 자궁 근육의 활성화에 효과가 있어 순산에 도움👍을 준다고 알려져 있어요. 또한, 출산 후에 발생하는 추가 출혈을 예방하는 데에도 효과적이에요. 라즈베리 잎차에는 마그네슘과 칼슘 그리고 비타민D, 철분을 다량으로 함유하고 있어서 임신 중기부터 마시면 태아👶의 발육에 좋고, 습진이나 알러지 등의 피부질환, 잇몸 질환에도 도움이 된다고 해요. 24주 이후에는 하루에 1잔, 30주 이후에는 하루 2잔, 36주 후에는 하루 3잔, 37주가 지나면 하루에 4잔 정도가 적당하다고 해요.붓기에 좋아요. 민들레잎 차출산이 다가올수록 엄마들은 배가 불러오며 붓기 때문에 많은 고생😥을 겪는데요. 민들레 잎차는 체내의 불필요한 수분이 몸에 쌓이는 것을 예방해주고, 제때에 배출될 수 있도록 도와주는 데 효과가 있어요. 민들레 잎차에는 칼륨이 많이 들어있어서 이뇨 작용을 도와 붓기 완화에 도움을 주는데요. 단 민들레 잎차는 쓴맛이 강하여 마시기 힘들 수 있으므로 다른 차와 섞어서 마시거나 우유🥛를 살짝 타서 마시는 것이 좋아요.<hr/>임신 중, 조심해서 마셔요!<img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/new/froala/posts/f5ea96f1-520b-4e27-aa24-a4b87a0f6147.gif" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>마시기 전 성분을 살펴요!블랙티ㆍ녹차ㆍ우롱차ㆍ얼그레이ㆍ다즐링: 카페인이 들어있어요. 녹차와 다즐링 등에 함유된 카페인의 양은 커피에 비하면 20% 내외의 수준이에요. 따라서 먹고 싶을 때 가끔 마시는 것은 사실 태아에게 해를 가할 정도로 악영향을 줄 수는 없어요🙅. 카페인이 함유된 차를 마실 때는, 물이 뜨거울수록 카페인 함량이 높아진다고 하니, 우릴 때 미지근한 물로 우려내면 카페인 함량을 낮추는 데에 도움이 된다고 해요!로즈마리차: 향이 강해 호르몬의 균형에 영향을 줘요.차 한두 잔은 호르몬의 불균형을 줄 정도로 큰 영향을 미칠 수 없다는 것이 의학계의 입장이지만, 과도한 양의 에센셜 오일이나 허브🌿는 안전하다는 검증 또한 되지 않았으니 복용을 줄여보는 것이 좋아요.칡차: 철분 흡수를 방해해요. 칡 속에는 탄닌 성분이 들어있다고 해요. 그런데 탄닌은 철분과 결합해 탄닌산철을 만들어내는 경향이 있어, 체내의 철분 흡수율을 감소시킬 수 있어요. 철분은 임신 중 증가하는 혈액량🩸과 태아의 산소 및 영양공급을 위해 꼭 보충해야 하는 영양소이므로, 칡 섭취를 미뤄보아요!율무차: 몸을 차게 하고 지방질과 수분을 막아요율무차를 임산부가 마시면 안 된다는 견해는 한의학에서 비롯되었어요. 율무의 한약명은 '의이인'인데, 의이인이 우리 몸에 불필요한 수분과 노폐물💧을 빼주는 이뇨 작용이 있는 한약재라고 해요. 설사를 하거나 몸이 붓고 아플 때도 많이 쓰이는 재료이며, 자궁근의 흥분 작용과 배란 촉진 작용이 있다고 알려져 있어요. 그래서 한의학에서는 율무를 임신 중 신중하게 사용할 약재로 분류하고 있어요.유즙 감소 위험이 있다는, 인삼차인삼은 역시 한의학에서 유즙을 감소시킬 위험💥이 있다고 알려져 있어요. 식욕부진ㆍ소화불량ㆍ구토ㆍ설사 등에 효과적인 약재이지만, 유즙 분비를 억제하므로 젖을 떼려고 하거나 유즙의 찌꺼기가 쌓여 유방이 아픈 여성에게 권해진다고 해요. 따라서, 수유 기간에는 음용을 피하는 것이 한의학에서 권장된다고 해요.

마셔도 될까 고민되는 임산부 차!

임신했다는 것을 알고 나서 가장 먼저, 그리고 가장 기본적으로 하는 검사가 바로 초음파 검사죠. 설레는 마음으로 화면 속 꼬물거리는 아이👶와 마주하고 난 뒤 받은 초음파 사진. 봐도 봐도 보고 싶고 작은 것 하나도 놓치지 않고 알고 싶은데 아이가 잘 있다는 건지, 얼마나 컸다는 건지, 몸무게는 얼마나 된다는 건지 도통 알 수가 없죠? 그 작은 사진 한 장이 얼마나 많은 정보가 담겨있는지 꼼꼼하게 알려드릴게요.💓 <hr/>사진이 잘나오는 TIP !📸검사 전에는?먼저 검사하기 직전에는 물이나 음료수🥤를 마시지 않는 것이 좋아요. 방광에 소변이 차 있으면 질 초음파를 하는 경우에는 잘 보이지 않을 수 있거든요. 간혹 복부 초음파는 오히려 물을 마시고 검사를 하는 게 도움이 된다고 하는 말도 있는데요! 이건 사실 임산부가 섭취한 물이 아니라 양수 때문에 태아👶가 더 잘 보이는 것이랍니다.📸수분 섭취 NO!검사 전에는 수분 섭취💦를 최대한 지양🙅‍♀️해주세요. 대신 달콤한 것을 먹어주세요. 어른처럼 뱃속의 아가도 단 것이 몸에 들어오면 활발하게 움직이거든요. 하지만 지나치게 태동이 심할 경우 검사가 오히려 시간이 오래 걸릴 수 있으니 주의하실 것! 📸튼살 크림, 로션은 NO!마지막으로는 튼살 크림 같은 로션이나 젤을 배에 바르지 않기💧🙅‍♀️. 초음파 검사용 젤 외에 다른 크림, 젤이 배에 발라져 있으면 초음파가 선명하게 보이지 않을 수 있으니 맨살로 검사에 임해주세요. <hr/>검사 전에, 알아볼까요?아기의 머리부터 발끝까지 꼼꼼히 검사하며 중요한 장기에 문제는 없는지, 외형적인 기형이 있는지 확인합니다. 이 시기에 대략 6~70%의 기형을 발견할 수 있고 생명에 위협😩이 될 수 있는 심한 기형 또한 대부분 발견할 수 있기 때문에 적절한 때에 검사🩺를 받는 것이 아주 중요합니다. 마지막으로 같은 장비로 촬영해도 아기가 어떤 상태인지, 어디에 위치에 있는지, 자궁의 근육 층이 어떤지에 따라 사진이 모두 달라 보일 수 있으니 사진이 이전과 달라 보인다고 큰 걱정은 하지 않으셔도 됩니다. <hr/>드디어 받은 사진! 두근두근,  내 아기는 잘크고 있는걸까? 잘 있는 건 알겠지만 어떻게 잘 있는지 더 자세히 알아보기 위해 초음파에 암호처럼 쓰여있는 영어 이니셜들의 뜻에 대해 알아봅시다.🧐  ✨HC : 아기의 머리둘레를 알려주는데 이 수치로 태아의 성장 정도를 가늠할 수 있습니다. 리 좌우 길이의 경우 임신주수보다 1~2주 크게 측정될 수 있고, 머리가 먼저 커지고 후에 복부가 자라나기 때문에 실제 아기의 머리둘레보다 조금 더 크게 측정된답니다. ✨AC : 복부둘레 수치로 태아 발육 체크의 기준이 됩니다✨GS : 태아가 보이지 않는 임신 초기에 확인한 아기집 크기를 말합니다. 임신 초기 정상적으로 임신이 되었는지 판단할 수 있게 하며 초기 임신 주수를 추측할 수 있게 합니다. ✨GA : 추정하는 임신 주수를 말합니다. W는 주수, D는 날짜를 말해주는데 아기가 어느 정도 자란 뒤에는 태아의 신체 길이, 두께 등을 조합해 계산합니다. 예를 들어 'GA=7W 5D'는 임신 주수가 7주 5일이라는 것을 말합니다. ✨EDD : 임신주수를 통해 산출한 출산 예정일입니다. 주로 임신 12주가 되기 전에 결정되며 임신 초기~중기까지는 아기의 성장이 불규칙해서 EDD가 측정할 때마다 조금씩 다를 수 있습니다. 임신 후기가 되어 아기의 성장이 어느 정도 가늠이 되는 때에 EDD는 고정되며 그 날짜가 제일 정확한 출산 예정일이 된답니다. ✨AFI : 양수의 지수를 말합니다. 5~24cm 면 정상이지만 이를 넘으면 조산할 위험이 있으니 조심하셔야 합니다. ✨TTD : 태아의 옆구리 폭을 말합니다. ✨OFD : 아기 머리 뒤통수에서 이마까지의 지름을 말합니다. ✨SL : 태아 척추 길이입니다. 여기서 하나 정보를 더 말씀드리자면 임신 11주 정도 되면 남자아이, 여자아이 모두 성기가 튀어나와있는데요. 이때 척추와 성기의 각도로 아가 성별을 알 수 있어요. 척추와 성기가 일직선이면 여자아이, 약 30도 정도 위 쪽으로 솟아 있으면 남자아이로 추측할 수 있는데 정확도는 45~70% 정도입니다. 참고하세요! ✨EFW : 아기의 예상 몸무게를 뜻합니다. 실제로 무게를 달아본 것이 아닌 다양한 수치들을 조합하여 계산한 결과이기 때문에 장비가 바뀌거나, 검사해주는 선생님이 바뀔 경우에는 조금씩 달라질 수 있습니다. ✨APTD : 태아의 배의 두께를 측정한 수치입니다. 임신 중기 이후 아기의 성장, 발육 정도를 측정하기 위해 필요한 수치입니다. ✨CRL : 아기의 성장과 임신 주수를 예측하는 기준이 되는 태아의 머리부터 엉덩이까지의 길이를 말합니다. ✨FL : 아기의 신체 중 가장 긴 부분인 넓적다리뼈 길이를 측정한 수치입니다. 이 수치로 아기의 성장발달 정도를 알 수 있습니다. ✨BPD : 출산 예정일과 아기의 체중, 발육 정도를 체크할 수 있는 태아 머리의 좌우 길이를 말합니다. ✨FHR : 아기의 심장박동수를 말합니다. 1분에 120에서 150사이가 정상입니다.

초음파, 이걸 어떻게 보는거지?

엄빠가 서로 사랑을 확인하는 방법 중 하나인 부부관계. 그런데 임신을 하고 나서는 엄마 본인도, 아빠도 모두 조심스러워요. 임신 전처럼 부부관계💏를 해도 괜찮을지 임신 중 성생활이 주는 부작용이 있는 건 아닐지 걱정🤔스러운 마음이 들기도 해요. 임신 중 부부관계에 대한 오해와 진실✅ 팩트 체크와 함께 시기별 주의사항에 대해 빌리가 알려드릴게요!<hr/>임신 중 관계에 대한 팩트 체크!임신 중 관계를 하면 태아와 엄마에게 좋지 않다? NO!🙅🏻‍♀️대부분의 엄빠들이 부부관계를 주저하는 이유는 바로 태아에게 미치는 영향 때문일 거예요. 임신 초기 베동에 올라온 엄빠들의 글을 보면 배 속에 있는 아이에게 자칫 해가 되진 않을까 걱정하는 마음에서 관계를 피하곤 하시더라고요. 하지만 임신 초기나 유산, 조산 등이 염려되는 특별한 상황이 아니라면 오히려 태아와 엄마에게 긍정적인 영향☺️을 준다고 해요. 일부 논문에서는 임신 중 부부관계가 태아의 두뇌 발달🧠에 효과가 있다고 밝히기도 했어요. 북유럽 과학전문 미디어 사이언스 노르딕에 발표된 연구 결과에서는 관계를 통해 전달된 아빠의 정자가 엄마의 임신 중독증 위험성을 낮춘다📉는 내용도 찾아볼 수 있어요. 그뿐만 아니라 엔돌핀, 세로토닌, 옥시토신 등 호르몬 분비로 엄마의 스트레스를 덜어주며 엄빠의 친밀감이 태아에게 전달되어 안정감을 준다고 해요.임신하면 엄마의 성욕은 줄어든다? NO!🙅🏻‍♀️ 개인차가 있겠지만 임신 극초기,후기를 제외하고는 성욕이 크게 줄어들진 않아요. 임신 중엔 호르몬 변화〽️를 많이 겪게 되는데 이때 성욕의 증감도 함께 와요. 생식기에 혈류량🩸이 증가하면서 오르가즘을 더 잘 느끼는 상태가 되고, 작은 자극에도 유두가 반응하게 된답니다. 하지만 임신 초기엔 입덧, 피곤 등의 이유로 임신 후기엔 신체적 변화로 인해 성욕이 떨어질 수 있다고 하니 아빠들은 참고해 주세요!<hr/>초기 - 조금만 참아주세요!우선 임신 중 성생활은 해도 괜찮아요. 하지만 임신 시기별로 조금씩 주의사항이 다릅니다. 임신 초기에는 불안정한 상태일 수 있으니 12주까지는 자제하는 것이 좋아요. 보통 초기 유산인 경우 12주 이내에 유산 경향성이 높아, 이 시기는 평소 생활에서도 격한 운동, 약 복용 등을 조심해야 해요. 그러니 성생활 또한 주의하는 것이 좋아요. 부부 간 사랑💙을 확인하고 싶어도 이 시기는 조금만 참아주세요! <hr/>중기&amp;후기 안정기에 접어들었어요!임신 중기가 되면 안정기에 접어들었다고 하죠. 이때는 임신 중 성관계💏를 해도 괜찮은 시기입니다. 단, 관계 중 통증이 느껴지거나 태동이 너무 심하다면 좋지 않은 신호이므로 관계를 중단하도록 해요. 그리고 후기로 갈수록 배가 점점 불러오니 성관계 시 배에 압박이 가해질 수 있어요. 엄마의 몸이 편한 상태의 체위로 관계하는 것이 좋아요. 더 자세히 알려줘!부부 관계💏를 돈독하게 해주는 임신 중 성관계! 안전하게 한다면 더욱 좋겠지요. 우선 엄마의 배를 압박하는 자세는 하지 않도록 해요. 그리고 엄마가 많이 움직일수록 자궁에 자극이 갈 수 있고 이는 조기 진통을 유발할 수 있어요. 그러므로 엄마가 최대한 편한 자세가 될 수 있도록 부부가 의논하도록 합니다.이런 경우는 조심!⚡  단, 병원에서 주의하라고 일러주셨거나, 조기 진통이 있는 엄마라면 후기에 부부관계는 자제하는 것이 좋아요. 또한 관계 중 질 출혈이 있다면 즉시 관계를 중단하도록 해요. 통증이 느껴질 때도 관계를 멈추는 것이 좋아요. 그리고 혹시 모를 감염에 대비해 콘돔을 사용하는 것이 더욱 안전한 임신 중 성관계를 하는 방법입니다. 감염이 되면 태아와 엄마🤰 모두 위험해질 수 있으니 조심하도록 해요!

몸무게, 얼마나 늘어도 될까..⁉

Every child grows at their own pace💗, but growth charts can give us a general idea. Remember, &quot;average&quot; doesn&#39;t define normal, as babies come in all shapes and sizes.<hr>What&#39;s the average weight for a newborn?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/4025/60137961-29a8-4e53-9440-627f0cbb246f.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a full-term baby boy usually weighs around 7 pounds and 6 ounces, which is about 3.3 kilograms. And for our lovely baby girls, the average weight is around 7 pounds and 2 ounces, or 3.2 kilograms. How cute is that🐥?Now, babies born between 37 and 40 weeks👶, their weights can vary a bit more. On average, they weigh anywhere from 5 pounds and 8 ounces to 8 pounds and 13 ounces, which is about 2.5 to 4 kilograms. Isn&#39;t it amazing how these little ones come in different sizes right from the start?<hr>Why does newborn weight gain matter?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/4025/fc9a428a-4a00-411f-b182-8d659a0076c5.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">When it comes to your little one&#39;s weight and height, consistent growth is a positive sign of their well-being. But sometimes, babies may not be gaining weight as they should, and that&#39;s when the term &quot;failure to gain weight&quot; or &quot;failure to thrive&quot; comes into play🥲.&nbsp;There can be various reasons behind this, such as difficulties with feeding, problems with absorbing or using nutrients, or even certain medical conditions. It&#39;s essential to work closely with healthcare providers to identify the root cause and address it properly💕.<hr>How can I tell if my newborn is gaining enough weight?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/4025/3823a52e-e5b0-4d46-92c3-ab49b87ab626.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">Believe it or not, counting those oh-so-important diapers can give you a good indication that your little one is doing just fine😀! During the first few days, it&#39;s completely normal for your newborn to have only a few wet diapers a day. After that, you can expect to see about 6 to 8 wet diapers in a 24-hour period. It&#39;s a great sign that your baby is getting enough fluids.Let&#39;s get down to business with poopy diapers. It&#39;s typical for babies to poop at least twice a day but when you&#39;re breastfeeding🤱, your baby might have even more poopy diapers, like five or more, while formula-fed babies may have a few less.&nbsp;

Usually feeding for newborns occurs every 2 to 3 hours, which adds up to around 8 to 12 feedings a day.🍼 Formula-feedingHow much formula-fed baby eats differs for each one of them! It depends on his weight, age, and appetite, and it can vary from one day to the next🐻.Normally, babies eat 1 to 3 ounces of formula every three to four hours during the first few weeks after birth.

He&rsquo;ll cry, fuss, or suck his fingers to express his discomfort!Also, you&rsquo;ll notice your baby gains little or no weight. On average, a newborn gains 4 to 7 ounces per week. Try feeding them a little more, and talk to your pediatrician to check if your baby&rsquo;s growth is on track🏃.Another sign you should be aware of is how many diapers your baby makes. Infants usually have at least 6 wet diapers and 4-5 poop diapers a day. Count the number of diapers you get every day. If they make fewer diapers than this number, you might want to feed them a little more.&nbsp;<hr>How do I know if I&rsquo;m feeding too much?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3970/fef0668d-898a-4ce8-987f-270268005fb4.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">Babies know when to stop😉. In general, they eat when they are hungry, and stop when they are full. But don&rsquo;t let your guard down yet, it is still possible for babies to eat too much. Bottle-fed babies tend to do so because drinking from a bottle is easier than drinking from the breast. Overeating can cause stomach pain, gas, or even vomiting after nursing. It can also raise the risk of obesity later in life. But you don&rsquo;t need to worry too much, mommy! Your baby knows how much she needs, and you&rsquo;ll figure out your baby&rsquo;s capability soon. So take it slow, and follow your baby&rsquo;s lead🐥!

How much should my baby eat?

When you pick up your baby from the crib🛏️, you might have noticed their hands and legs got stiffened! This is normal! It usually happens when your little one gets too excited or frustrated👶, and her muscle gets tightened up. However, rarely there are some other cases that can indicate a problem!<hr>What is hypertonia?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/froala/boards/4052/53cc0942-1774-4805-8957-80861c8686e7.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">It is considered hypertonia when a baby&rsquo;s muscles get stiff and hard to move because of damage to the brain or spinal cord that controls muscle movements🧍. Babies with hypertonia move in different ways because their range of motion is limited. Walking, balancing, grabbing, and letting go of objects could be difficult for them.There are two types of hypertonia, which are Spastic and Dystonic. Spastic hypertonia is when muscle spasms when a baby moves. On the other hand, when a baby is with Dystonic hypertonia, their muscle tone stays the same whether the baby is moving or still. In order to figure out which hypertonia the baby has, doctors will move a baby&rsquo;s muscles in different directions at various speeds🚶.<hr>Why does it happen? Any symptoms I should be aware of?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/froala/boards/4052/41b14a84-bfe7-4947-a7c1-597845f03d49.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">To move muscles, we send signals from the nervous system travel to the nerves. However, if the brain🧠 or spinal cord is injured, those signals can&rsquo;t reach the nerves, which causes hypertonia! This could happen when a baby had a lack of oxygen during birth. If his/her brain is injured or has a tumor, could cause hypertonia as well.A baby with hypertonia generally shows trouble moving her joints in the arms, legs or neck. Their range of motion👋 gets limited, and they fall often because they lose their balance.&nbsp;If a baby has severe hypertonia, he can&rsquo;t move the affected body part much because his joint freeze in place, which is called a contracture.&nbsp;<hr>Other reasons why your baby may stiffen their body<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/froala/boards/4052/7d8fdc92-0864-4c5a-95cf-158ff6529527.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">There are a few other possible medical reasons🏥 for a baby to stiffen their body. Other medical conditions related to brain damage, such as infantile spasms, cerebral palsy, seizures, and epilepsy can cause this symptom as well.&nbsp;Occasional muscle stiffening isn&rsquo;t something to worry about. But if you feel suspicious too often, you should contact a doctor for a check-up and start a diagnosis and treatment👩&zwj;⚕️.

Why does my baby stiffen their legs and arms?

Sleeplessness is a common companion of newborn parenthood😪. But fear not! We hold the key to that first glorious night of uninterrupted sleep.&nbsp;<hr>How much sleep do newborns need?<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/froala/boards/4100/743c0f59-8360-4216-9c04-49487219f3d9.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">In the early weeks, your baby may sleep a lot😴, but usually not for more than two to four hours at a time, day or night. Newborns typically initially sleep around 14 to 18 hours a day and around 12 to 16 hours per one-month-old. However, because their stomachs are small, they wake up every two to three hours to eat🧑&zwj;🍼. It&#39;s common for babies to have their days and nights reversed, sleeping longer during the day and being more alert at night. This phase will eventually pass!&nbsp;<hr>My baby sleeps too much. Is it okay?&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/froala/boards/4100/0702f26d-db26-41b0-b0e2-b38a81bd8bd1.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">Ah, the delightful world of newborn sleep😣! Brace yourself for the eat-sleep-repeat cycle. In those early weeks, your little one will master snoozing, briefly waking up to refuel before dozing off again. But don&rsquo;t worry! As they hit one month, get ready for wide-eyed moments as they explore the fascinating world.Newborns handle about an hour to an hour and a half of wakefulness before demanding some quality nap time. Beauty sleep is crucial🛌, after all! And those extra-long snooze sessions? No worries! It&#39;s usually harmless. They might be catching up after a mini-cold, experiencing growth spurts, or recovering from superhero shots. But if marathon sleep comes with a fever or respiratory distress, reach out to your pediatrician!&nbsp;<hr>Tips to help your baby sleep&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/froala/boards/4100/86f85f1a-981f-4b6f-8acb-7acc03ea610a.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">🌙Create a nighttime routineCreating a nighttime routine for your baby can be a wonderful way to help them relax and prepare for sleep.

Tips to help your baby sleep

Did you know breastfeeding can be much easier with proper positioning? Sore nipples, latching, and other breastfeeding problems can be solved if you do it in the right position💪!Some trials and errors will be needed, but as long as you find the position that works the best for you, you&rsquo;ll be a pro at breastfeeding your baby!😎<hr>How to hold the baby <img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3915/b3072eeb-b727-4c1f-bf1b-16cc0529e8f0.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">Let&rsquo;s learn from the basics - how to hold your baby🤱. Place your baby on one side, toward your breasts. Your baby&rsquo;s whole body should face your chest, and his/her ear, shoulder, and hip have to align in a straight line. The baby&rsquo;s body also has to be straight in line with the body, not turn to the side. Using a nursing pillow can help you because it can lower the weight and adjust the height👍.<hr>Find your best position for breastfeeding!<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3915/9ff30fab-5ef5-42e3-b9c6-49a473545b1e.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">Now, if you are ready, try these 5 positions and see which works best for you!👩&zwj;🍼Cradle holdCradle position is when you put your baby in your arms like they are lying in a cradle. For this position, bend your one elbow and rest your baby&rsquo;s head in, and use the hand on the same side to support the baby&rsquo;s body. 👶Now, use your other hand to cup your breast. Place your thumb above your nipple and your index finger at the spot where your baby&rsquo;s chin is. If the position is all set, lightly compress your breast so that your nipple points toward your baby&rsquo;s nose.&nbsp;👩&zwj;🍼Crossover holdDecide which breast you&rsquo;ll be nursing from and hold the baby&rsquo;s head with your hand on the opposite side of the nursing breast. To make the holding easier, put your wrist between the baby&rsquo;s shoulder and your thumb behind one ear👂, the other fingers behind the other ear. With your free hand, cup your breast and gently put it towards your baby&rsquo;s mouth.👩&zwj;🍼Football holdIf you have had a C-section, have large breasts, or your baby is small or premature, a football hold will be an option for you. Position your baby facing you, and tuck his/her legs under your arm on the same side of the breast you are nursing from. (Like you are holding a football!🏈) Support the baby&rsquo;s head with the same hand. Use the other hand to cup your breast.👩&zwj;🍼Laid-back positionLaid-back position is helpful, particularly for moms with smaller breasts, and newborns with sensitive tummies👶. As the name of the position suggests, you should lean back on a couch and put your baby on your body, facing tummy to tummy. Put his/her head near your breast so the baby can reach your breast naturally. If the baby finds it hard, you can lead him/her by directing the nipple toward the mouth.👩&zwj;🍼Side-lying positionFor night feeders😴, a side-lying position is a good choice because you and your baby both have to lie down on a bed. Put your baby on your side, tummy to tummy, and hold them with the hand on the side you&rsquo;re lying on. Use the other hand to cup your breast and feed the baby. This position could suffocate the baby, so you should never do this position on a recliner, couch, or water bed!<hr>Breastfeeding positions to avoid<img src="https://cdn.billyapi.com/posts/3915/29d0795c-ea72-4372-a61b-aa6e97d5a228.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">If you nurse your baby in an improper position, your breasts might not be able to produce enough milk! The most common mistake new moms make is to hunch over their bodies to the baby. Keeping your back straight and bringing your baby up to your breast is the key to breast stimulation✨.&nbsp;For your and your baby&rsquo;s safety and comfort, always make sure the baby&rsquo;s body isn&rsquo;t too far from the breasts. (The baby can pull on your nipple while feeding! ouch!😵) Also, put the baby&rsquo;s body and head facing the same direction so he/she can swallow the breast milk without trouble.
