How can we define a family?
An organized structure consisting of parents and their children. Is that all?
No. Family doesn’t mean just by having members within it. It is also made up of feelings, responsibilities, social status etc. This can be dug deeper and deeper. But, the matter we need is entirely different. The root of a family is children. Children are our future, our hope and society. They are the pillars to carry ancestral pride for generations. If that’s all we want, how should they be nurtured?
Don’t we want them to be healthy?
Pregnancy isn’t so easy. A woman must be ready physically and mentally. Why is it so?
We see many children born with heart diseases, physically challenged or mentally disturbed. If they are born like that, we parents are guilty. It’s in our hands to avoid such painful and pathetic life for our children.
Planned Pregnancy:
A planned-sex guarantees pregnancy and a planned pregnancy guarantees a healthy child.
Intercourse between a male and a female will lead to pregnancy, which can be tested at home by buying pregnancy test kit This is a well-known fact. Yet, we see so many couples queuing up in hospitals, in front of gynaecologists to have a successful pregnancy.
People give a lot of importance in postponing their pregnancy. The same importance must be given for a planned pregnancy and on the activities during the pregnancy period. Also, we must be cautious about the steps to be followed during the pregnancy period.
Many parents are unaware that their habits, health and work environment play a key role in the development of the foetus.
Early Stage of Pregnancy:
The early stage of pregnancy is the most typical and important phase.
Within 12 weeks of pregnancy, a child’s organs like heart, brain and also nervous system start to develop. The most pathetic thing is many women are unaware that they are pregnant during this period. The root cause is their ignorance about pregnancy. As discussed earlier, if any physical or mental challenges and diseases have been faced by the foetus at this point, the problem might arise for its development.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to plan to have a healthy child.
If a woman is unaware of her pregnancy right from the initial stage, she will be very cautious in taking care of her foetus health right from the beginning rather than over stressing themselves at the eleventh hours. Hence, it is essential to get tested for pregnancy during the initial phase itself with the help of a quick check pregnancy test kit.
