Abstract
The goal to conceive during pregnancy is correlated with changes in lifestyle, very few women who had planned to become pregnant really alter their health behaviors or habits. Women’s attempts to alter their lifestyle in order to get ready for pregnancy are influenced by their socioeconomic situation and medical history. These factors include their level of education, income status, perceived poverty, high‐risk pregnancy, and previous abortions. Therefore, the action of seeking knowledge might be considered a motivational facilitator for making modifications to one’s lifestyle both before and during pregnancy. This research was carried out in the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and it involved a total of 128 female study participants. General information such as age, marital status, ethnicity, gestational age (in weeks), educational level, housing, number of children, pre‐pregnancy body mass index (in kilograms per square meter), regularity of menstrual cycles, presence of nausea, history of miscarriage, history of benign gynecological conditions, smoking status; alcohol consumption, caffeine intake, mobile phone use (in hours per day), computer use (in hours per day), history of depression or schizophrenia and extent of bleeding were recorded. The number of patients with a body mass index (BMI) below 23 was 89, whereas the number of patients with a BMI greater than 23 was 39. There were 107 women who had regular menstrual periods, while there were 21 women who had irregular cycles. The comparison was statistically significant (p<0.01). Eighty three of the people experienced nausea, while 45 of them did not. However, 105 of the women did not have a history of past miscarriage, whereas 23 of them did. The lifestyle that one leads is a significant factor in pregnancy. There is a change in the hormone level that occurs throughout pregnancy, which might result in a miscarriage. Any additional difficulties that may arise during pregnancy can be avoided by adhering to a normal lifestyle.
