With the Year of the Sheep approaching, compared to the baby boom of the Year of the Horse, having a child in the Year of the Sheep is considered rather bleak, due to folk beliefs that having a baby in the Year of the Sheep is unlucky, especially for girls, who are said to not only suffer misfortune but may also bring bad luck to their families. Of course, these claims are clearly baseless and unfounded, but as the saying goes, "If you believe, it's true; if you don't, it's not." Many people still can't get over their own psychological barriers, preferring to believe it rather than dismiss it, simply for their own peace of mind. However, while the rumors about the Year of the Sheep being unlucky for having a baby have been dispelled, it doesn't mean that the timing of childbirth is irrelevant. So, under what circumstances is it not advisable to have a child?
1. Women experiencing long-term depression or restlessness should not become pregnant immediately.
Eugenics and optimal childbirth are influenced by both partners. When an individual is experiencing depression, the quality of sperm and eggs may decline. Conception under such circumstances may also lead to hormonal imbalances in the mother due to negative emotional stimuli, causing changes in the baby's "emotions," such as restlessness and agitation, and in severe cases, miscarriage. Therefore, it is not advisable to have children if there are significant events in the family or if either partner is experiencing prolonged emotional distress.
II. Certain occupational conditions require patients to suspend their pregnancy plans.
People in certain specialized positions may be exposed to toxic or harmful substances in their work, and their bodies may be affected by toxins to some extent.
For example, people who may have close contact with small animals are at risk of toxoplasmosis infection. These factors can affect the health of the fetus during pregnancy, potentially leading to developmental delays or birth defects. Therefore, it is generally advisable for people in these positions to suspend work for a period of time before planning a pregnancy and to undergo comprehensive prenatal checkups.
Third, both spouses have a certain disease.
Certain diseases can also affect normal pregnancy plans, such as hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, nephritis, tuberculosis, or abnormal liver function. Although studies show that hepatitis B patients can conceive normally, they must meet the physical requirements for pregnancy and should not conceive casually. Furthermore, women infected with syphilis, rubella, or other diseases should not conceive immediately, as this could lead to miscarriage or the transmission of the virus to the next generation. Therefore, choosing the best time to conceive depends on the individual's medical condition.
IV. Women should not become pregnant immediately after a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy .
Both natural and induced abortions cause some damage to the uterine lining. If pregnancy is conceived immediately afterward, the risk of another miscarriage may increase. Therefore, doctors recommend careful rest after a miscarriage, allowing the uterine lining to fully recover before attempting to conceive again. A recovery period of at least six months is recommended.
V. Women who use medication long-term should exercise caution when becoming pregnant.
The fetus obtains all its nutrients from the mother, and components of medications ingested by the mother can also be passed to the baby through the placenta, potentially affecting the baby's normal development. Therefore, individuals who have been using anticancer, antiepileptic, or streptomycin medications long-term should discontinue these medications for a period before attempting pregnancy. Furthermore, women who have been taking oral contraceptives long-term should wait three months after discontinuing the medication before planning to conceive.
Editor's Note: While the rumor that having a child in the Year of the Sheep is unlucky is certainly inappropriate, timing is still important when having a child. Otherwise, it can easily lead to premature birth, miscarriage, and birth defects. Therefore, couples should avoid the situations mentioned above before trying to conceive. Crucially, they should undergo preconception checkups to ensure that both partners' physical conditions are compatible with a healthy pregnancy plan before attempting pregnancy.
