After conception, exogenous pathogenic factors easily invade the pregnant woman, giving rise to various fetal diseases, even abortion. Thus, the pregnant woman should live a normal daily life with caution and arrange the daily schedule scientifically. She should rise early and go to bed early, and work, study and live regularly. Besides, she should modify her clothing to prevent cold and summer-heat in conformity to seasonal variations.
The strenuous exercise is not advisable for the pregnant woman. Chan Yun Ji, or Collection of Labour and Pregnancy, puts forth "The pregnant woman should not climb high, walk fast, sit in a lateral position, bend over, limp along, lean against something, take an object from a high place, defecate and urinate in the out of-the-way places, stand, sit and lie long, expose herself to cold and heat." The pregnant woman should be cautious not to hit the abdomen, avoid being exposed to noxious substances like lead, mercury, benzol and arsenic as well as radioactive rays. It is not advisable for her to visit public places often to prevent infectious diseases causing the fetal injury or abortion.
The pregnant woman should maintain smooth defecation and urination. In the case of constipation without remission or dysuria, she should go to see a doctor in time.
