Book Introduction
Hesitant pregnancy, fearful childbirth
It's easier if you know 'in advance'!
How to nurture your baby well in the first year before giving birth
[Our Neighborhood Obstetrics and Gynecology] Recommended by Teacher Kwon, Teacher Hong, and Teacher Chu!
“Is it okay to take cold medicine while pregnant?”
“They say that if morning sickness suddenly goes away, it means you had a miscarriage. Is that true?”
“Which method is better, natural childbirth or cesarean section?”
Expectant mothers and fathers who are expecting their first pregnancy, first child, or first baby have many questions.
However, it is impossible to ask all the questions you have during the short consultation time, and it is confusing to know which information is true among the numerous information floating around on the Internet.
In this situation, it is natural to be more interested in exaggerated and unusual appearances and to be afraid of pregnancy and childbirth.
But pregnancy and childbirth are not just difficult and scary things.
The author, an obstetrician and gynecologist and father, says that knowing and understanding the physical and mental changes that pregnant women experience during pregnancy can help reduce these fears.
It also conveys the message that if you know the essential knowledge you need to know for each week of pregnancy, such as when to go to the hospital and what you need to be careful about, you can have a healthy pregnancy and give birth without making any major changes to your original life.
The most important thing during the 40 weeks of pregnancy is that if the mother is happy, the baby will also be healthy.
There are so many misconceptions about pregnancy and childbirth out there.
It all started with the hope that the baby in the womb would be healthy, but it is actually causing fear in expectant mothers and fathers.
For example, there are prenatal care methods that make things difficult for mothers.
For example, solving the "Essentials of Mathematics" to develop a baby's mathematical ability, or emphasizing bed safety for pregnant women to prevent the baby from getting hurt.
In fact, this behavior is not good for either the mother or the baby.
Even if there is not much difference between life before and after becoming a mother, it is possible to have a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
In this book, the author has collected only the essential information you need to know during the 40 weeks of waiting for a baby, from imminent birth to morning sickness, fetal movement, and bleeding during labor.
The author increased reliability by organizing the content based on frequently asked questions in obstetrics and gynecology.
The author, who is also a father of two children, shares his experiences, which will resonate with many expectant mothers and fathers.
I hope this book can give courage and strength to the countless people who are afraid of pregnancy and childbirth.

Into the book
We've included not only questions and answers from actual clinics, but also answers to questions left in the comments on our YouTube videos.
Later, when you become pregnant and go to the doctor's office, there may be times when you are pressed for time and cannot ask questions.
I hope you get a lot of hints and answers in advance from this book.
---From the "Introductory Note"
Determining the actual weeks of pregnancy is a very important task.
If the difference between the known gestational age and the actual gestational age is large, important test results, such as those for congenital anomalies, may be incorrect, and it becomes difficult to assess whether the fetus is growing appropriately for the gestational age.
---From "Two lines on a pregnancy test, is it certain that I'm pregnant?"
It is sufficient to take hydrochloric acid before and during pregnancy, iron supplements from the 20th week of pregnancy until 3 months after delivery, and vitamin D throughout the entire pregnancy.
Taking multiple types of multivitamins at the same time can lead to excessive intake of vitamins A, iodine, etc., so it is best to take only one type of multivitamin.
---From "Nutritional Supplements Pregnant Women Must Take"
It is very common, with about one in four pregnant women experiencing bleeding during early pregnancy.
It may appear and disappear for a few days, or it may last for several weeks or even until the second trimester of pregnancy.
---From "The Most Fearful Bleeding in Early Pregnancy"
Even if we only look at the high-risk screening criteria, the majority of children are born healthy and grow up well.
Rather than thinking that your child might have a problem, you can reduce the burden by going into the test thinking that you are checking to see if your child is healthy and normal, but really okay.
---From "Not all deformed babies can be detected through deformity testing"
Sixty percent of premature births are of unknown cause.
Even though we work hard to treat the condition 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it is very difficult to prevent premature birth.
Premature labor occurs for unknown reasons or the baby is delivered before full term due to premature rupture of membranes.
---From "60% of premature births have unknown causes"
If there are no pregnancy complications or other reasons, you can work until labor begins.
However, it is difficult to eat and sleep when you are full-term, and I do not recommend working until you feel labor pains.
Personally, if you are planning to try a natural birth, I think the best time to do so is around 38 weeks, or about two weeks before your cesarean section date.
---From "Until when should I go to work?"
Painkillers are a good option to help reduce pain during labor.
I think that debating whether something is unconditionally good or bad is meaningless, and that expert advice is more important than individual experiences.
---From "Will a baby's brain get worse if they get a pain injection?"
Just because you've given birth doesn't mean the pregnancy process is over.
The period up to 6 weeks after childbirth is called the postpartum period and is classified as the 'fourth trimester of pregnancy', emphasizing the importance of checkups.

Publisher's Review
If the mother is healthy, the baby will be healthy too!
Things to know 'in advance' while waiting for a baby
Let's break free from the idea that everything has to be tailored to the baby during pregnancy.
Rather, if the mother is happy and healthy, the baby will also be healthy.
Listening to classical music, seeing and eating only good things, and lying down as much as possible to relax... Do these behaviors actually affect babies? What babies actually hear and feel are their mother's voice, her heartbeat, and the sound of her belly being stroked.
Also, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare are not just the mother's job.
It is a process that both mom and dad must go through together.
Both mother and father must understand the various tests, procedures, and physical and mental changes that occur each week.
To make the right choice, you need accurate information and enough time to think carefully before making a choice.
“Prevention is the most important thing in miscarriage.”
Knowing the Early Stages of Pregnancy
Checking for the baby's uterus, morning sickness, bleeding, anemia, and fetal abnormality tests... numerous changes occur in a pregnant woman's body during the early stages of pregnancy.
Among them, the most worrying and concerning thing is the ‘possibility of miscarriage.’
More than 80 percent of miscarriages occur in the first trimester, before the 12th week of pregnancy.
There are cases where the cause of miscarriage is thought to be the pregnant woman's fault, such as 'eating the wrong food or medicine' or 'excessively overdoing it physically.'
However, in more than half of miscarriages, the cause is unknown.
Prevention is the most important thing when it comes to miscarriage, and the method is really easy and anyone can do it.
These include healthy eating habits, exercise, quitting smoking and drinking, and managing stress.
If you consistently follow this method, you can not only prevent miscarriage, but also complications that arise during pregnancy, various adult diseases, and even cancer.
Exercise during pregnancy is not just a recommendation, it's a must.
Knowing the Second Trimester of Pregnancy in Advance
During the second trimester of pregnancy, the most important thing is to maintain the mother's health.
In particular, you should pay attention to weight management. If a pregnant woman in the second trimester is obese, the risk of gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes increases, and the frequency of intrauterine death and premature birth increases.
There is also a risk of bleeding and thrombosis, as the chances of vaginal delivery failure increase.
To reduce this risk, the authors recommend 20 to 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise, five days a week, to the point of breaking a sweat.
You should avoid exercises that are excessively strenuous or risk injury, but it is okay to continue with activities such as walking, swimming, racket sports, and yoga.
Of course, before starting to exercise, it is best to consult with your doctor and get a detailed explanation of what kind of exercise is best for your current condition, the intensity of the exercise, and precautions to take before starting.
“Until when can I come to work?”
Know the details of your pregnancy in advance
In the later stages of pregnancy, it is most important to monitor the baby's growth.
If a baby is too small or too large, they are diagnosed with growth disorders.
In such cases, delivery is attempted at a time when it is judged that it would be more beneficial for the baby to be born and grow rather than remain in the womb.
So, if your baby is growing normally, when is the best time to start preparing for childbirth? If you're working, there's no need to quit work early.
The author says that if you are planning to try a natural birth, it is okay to work until around 38 weeks, and if you are planning a cesarean section, it is okay to work until about two weeks before the surgery date.
Of course, if the work environment is too dangerous, there is a need to adjust the work style.
Also, having a baby is not the end.
All that remains is a postpartum checkup to assess the mother's recovery status after giving birth.
It is highly recommended that you receive it as it is a process that allows you to check your psychological status as well as receive general health counseling and important tests.
The most important thing about pregnancy and childbirth is that the mother does not have to give up her personal life for the baby.
It is true that pregnancy is a difficult and challenging time, but the joy and happiness that comes from feeling and waiting for your baby cannot be felt anywhere else.
I hope this book will help expectant mothers and fathers understand the changes and characteristics of each week of pregnancy, and help them prepare for childcare naturally.
