What are Prenatal Tests and why are they Important?
Prenatal tests are medical tests that your medical practitioner will perform on you in order to get an idea about the progress of your pregnancy and the health of your baby. Your doctor will perform certain tests each time you go for your prenatal check-up, these may include a urine test, blood test, etc. in order to gauge your health. Certain other prenatal screening tests are performed to detect any birth defects or complications in your baby.
Who needs Prenatal Testing?
Every woman who goes through pregnancy needs routine prenatal testing. However, if you know of any genetic conditions that run in your family, you will need to discuss with your doctor about any screening or genetic tests that need to be performed. Non-routine tests are recommended for women with high-risk pregnancies including women who:
are over 35 years of age
are teens
have had a premature baby
have had a baby with genetic conditions or birth defects
have a twin or multiple pregnancies
suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, lupus, asthma, STD, seizures, etc.
are from ethnic groups with a high risk of genetic disorders
What do Screening Tests and Diagnostic Tests Mean?
Screening tests measure the level of risk of any potential health conditions in your baby, but will not determine if your baby has the condition or not. Diagnostic tests are performed if your baby shows a high risk for a specific condition. These tests are performed to ascertain if your baby suffers from a health or genetic condition.
Prenatal Tests done in the First trimester
Here are some of the tests that are performed in the first trimester of your pregnancy.

Spider Veins during Pregnancy - Causes, Remedies & Prevention
During pregnancy, you may notice jagged blood vessels running down your legs branching out like sunbursts or a spider web. But don't get anxious on seeing them. These are called spider veins, which can commonly appear on the legs and face during pregnancy.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are purple or blue veins that occur typically during pregnancy on a woman's legs, ankles, or face. They usually don’t cause much pain but can make your legs feel heavy. If you have spent a long time on your feet, the skin around these veins can also feel itchy or may even throb.
Are Spider Veins Normal in Pregnant Women?
Yes, spider veins are extremely common during pregnancy with about 30-40 percent of women developing spider veins when they are pregnant. Also, it can be a hereditary phenomenon. Around 80-90 percent of women with a parent who has had spider veins can develop them during pregnancy.
How Do They Differ from Varicose Veins?
Spider veins can sometimes be mistaken for varicose veins, which are more swollen and larger than spider veins. Spider veins are small and visible through the skin.
What Causes Spider Veins in Pregnancy
When you are pregnant, you have a lot more blood running in your veins to supply to your foetus. Also, your levels of hormones oestrogen and progesterone will also change causing more blood in your veins to pool up. This increase in blood volume and blood circulation in your body causes spider veins to appear on your legs or face. Although they might get uncomfortable for you, the good news is that they will not affect your baby in the least.
How Long Do Spider Veins Last?
While you might be irritated with their appearance, just keep in mind that spider veins are a temporary side effect and tend to improve within 3 or 4 months after giving birth. But don’t worry, there are many ways you can reduce their appearance.
How to Reduce the Effects of Spider Veins in Pregnancy
Below are a few ways that you can try to reduce the appearance of spider veins during early pregnancy.
1. Stock Up on Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an important source to make collagen and elastin which are two important connective tissues used to maintain and repair veins.
2. Include High-fibre Food in Your Diet
Make sure to include high fibre foods in your diet since another common condition during pregnancy is constipation, which can contribute to spider veins. When you exert too much pressure during a bowel movement, the blood in your deeper veins gets constricted. This means that the blood must find another route to flow through, which is most often the superficial veins, leading to those spidery blue veins on your legs. Good sources of fibre include whole grains like bran, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
3. Exercise Your Legs
Timely exercise helps improve circulation, leg strength, and stability in your veins. Exercises that work your legs are most effective, like walking or running. Make sure to watch your weight as any extra weight places extra pressure on your legs.
4. Keep Your Blood Circulation Going
Sitting restricts blood flow in your legs so try not to cross your legs while sitting. You can also elevate them while you rest so that the circulation in your legs and feet are eased back to your heart.
5. Wear Loose Clothing
Don’t wear any tight clothing like tight jeans or anything which puts pressure on your waist, groin, or legs.
6. Camouflage It
There are some flesh-toned concealers especially available for hiding spider veins so you can use them to hide your more visible spider veins.
7. Don’t Stand for Long Periods of Time
If you absolutely have to stand for long periods of time, make sure to shift your weight from one leg to another every two minutes. If you are sitting for long, stand up and take a short walk every half an hour to free your legs.
8. Try Cosmetic Solutions
There are several ways for treatment of spider veins during pregnancy which can eliminate or minimize them, like laser treatments and sclerotherapy, a process where veins are injected with a solution which helps them collapse and fade from your skin. But you cannot try it until you deliver your baby.
How to Prevent Spider Veins while Pregnant
There are few procedures to prevent spider veins on legs while pregnant. You can visit a doctor who will diagnose you first. He can give you a compression hose which can increase the circulation in your legs. Spider veins usually go away post-pregnancy, but if they don't, then you can opt for laser treatment post delivery to restore the original look of your skin. A laser is used to penetrate the vein under the skin. The heat will coagulate the blood, causing the vein to collapse and seal. You can opt for this treatment, but do it only after the delivery.
Spider veins are extremely common in pregnant women so do not worry about them sticking around forever. You can always follow the above suggestions to prevent them from spreading.

Also, ensuring that they don't fall sick is an important priority too. Here’s how you can save your children from doctor trips and a ton of other problems while you're holidaying.
Tips for Travelling with Kids in the Monsoon Season
1. Guard against diseases
Diseases are common and rampant during the monsoons. Therefore, when travelling with your kids during the season, take precautions to safeguard them from diseases. This includes protecting them from diarrhoea and influenza. Try and fit in a small first-aid kit with you on your trip. This important packing tip for kids in the monsoon season will be a life saver. Keep the necessary antibiotics handy for an emergency situation. Don't neglect your kids if they manifest early symptoms of a sickness. If you're going on a week-long vacation, consult your kids’ doctor before heading out.
2. Mosquito alert
The dreaded mosquitoes always find a way to poke at your little one’s sensitive skin. During the monsoon, they also spread diseases like the dreaded dengue. A mosquito repellent is among the most important things to carry while travelling with kids in the rainy season. Check your kids for symptoms of malaria, which include fever, headache, muscle ache or a mild chill. Stay indoors if it's raining outside. Do not take a chance with your kids' health.
3. Food watch
Although the kids might want to try the local food of the place you are vacationing at, try and avoid it. This is one of the best monsoon travel tips for children you ought to follow strictly. Make sure that they eat at a clean restaurant. Food can be carrier of germs and monsoon-related diseases. Contaminated food and water are a real rainy season hazard. It would be advisable if you and your kids stick to bottled water for the duration of your trip.
4. Clothing matters
When travelling with your kids, make sure they wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts as well. If you have a little girl, make her wear pants, too. This will prevent them from being attacked by mosquitoes and other insects. It will also keep them warm from the slight chill that the monsoons bring with them. Also, closed shoes are a better option as compared to open-toe sandals. Despite their attempts to persuade you into allowing them to wear shorts, resist! If they insist, explain and make them understand why you expect them to wear long shirts and pants.
Making the kids feel comfortable while protecting them from monsoon-related diseases is important. These safety measures when travelling with kids will prevent them from falling ill. When you prepare yourself accordingly, things will fall in place. Read more

Now coming to home, where they spend much time, they need to think about their child who is more exposed to all the connected things leading to high levels of non ionisation energy. These high level of non ionisation energy had few effects on health. The studies from WHO reported symptoms include headaches, anxiety, suicide and depression, nausea, and fatigue on humans due to EM waves radiations.
It is also reported that people working in Electronics Industry are exposed to high level of EM waves which are causing effects on eyes and leading to Cataract in some cases. The radiations above 3000 megahertz leads to damaging tissues. The growing child is more susceptible to radiations and can cause damage to brain tissues. Studies are being conducted on the effects of electromagnetic radiations on cognition. The reports indicate no much effects if it's within the limited range for common users.
As the WIFI technology is rapidly increasing in the society. It's making the children to opt for WIFI relayed toys, than the physical play. Hence, parents need to focus more on physical play, and take their child to the playground which enhances the physical growth and promotes overall family well-being.
Reaserch were also conducted on mother's womb for any effects due to EM waves. Studies say there were no serious risks related to the baby's health. In some cases, babies exposed to mobile phones in the womb had behavioural problems during childhood, such as hyperactivity.
Considering all, the effects seem to be very less. However, high mobile usage during pregnancy needs to be avoided or better to keep phones in aeroplane mode, send texts instead of long duration calls, also using wired technology like landline helps.
All we need to do is Think Better Act Wise.
