Family Planning

　　Population issues have always been a major problem制约ing China's comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development, and a key factor affecting economic and social development. At the same time, it must be clearly seen that China's population development is presenting an unprecedentedly complex situation, and the low fertility level is facing the realistic risk of a rebound. In the first half of the 21st century, we will usher in a peak in the total population, the working-age population, and the elderly population. In the next ten years, the momentum of population inertia growth will remain strong, and the total population will still increase by 8 to 10 million people per year; it is difficult to adapt to the requirements of fierce comprehensive national power competition; the number of working-age people is large, and the employment situation is more severe; the sex ratio at birth remains high, posing hidden dangers to social stability; the continuous increase in mobile and migrant populations poses a huge challenge to the allocation of public resources; the structure of poor populations tends to be diversified, and the task of promoting balanced social and economic development is very arduous. In short, the situation of a large population with a low per capita share, the heavy pressure of population on economic and social development, and the tense relationship between population and resources and the environment are prominent contradictions and problems faced by the construction of a well-off society in an all-round way and the building of a socialist harmonious society. China is a country with a large population, and the implementation of family planning is the basic national policy of the country.

　　计划生育政策也带来了很大的社会问题：如人口老龄化，男女比例失调等等。中国的计划生育政策也带来了人口老龄化问题。年龄超过60岁的人口为十分之一，2030年将为四分之一，而到2050年，每三个中国人中就有一个超过60岁！专家认为，即使中国的经济仍能保持增长势头，到那时也难以养活这么多老年人。就是说，中国人老得比富得快。另外中国8%的少数民族不受计划生育政策的限制。因此，很多中国人并不认为中国的计划生育政策获得了预期的效果。男女比例失调也是计划生育政策造成的大问题。北京人口发展研究中心的刘宏源指出，由于中国人传统上喜欢男孩儿，许多孕妇将女胎流产。男女婴的比例是120：100。10年以后，男性公民将多出五到六千万。这将给社会造成很大的隐患。

　　Changes in the population, whether in terms of quantity or structure, will have a profound impact on national security, and China is currently in the midst of a new round of demographic changes.
　　Since entering the new century, the demographic reproduction situation faced by China has undergone fundamental changes. China's population, which was characterized by high birth rates, high mortality rates, and low growth rates in the 1950s and 1960s, shifted to high birth rates, low mortality rates, and high growth rates, and within just over 30 years, it had transitioned to low birth rates, low mortality rates, and low growth rates since the 1990s. Moreover, the trend of declining birth rates is basically irreversible.

　　1、有利于国家加速资金积累。实行计划生育，使国家用于新增人口的消费减少，从而加速资金积累。
　　2、有利于劳动就业。实行计划生育，可以使每年进入劳动适龄人口减少，从而有利于劳动就业。
　　3、有利于提高全民族的人口质量。实行计划生育，国家可以把积累下来的资金用于教育，使更多的人受到更多更好的教育和技术训练，从而达到提高全民族的人口质量的目的。
　　4、有利于优化资源配置和提高人均资源水平。实行计划生育，可以缓解人地矛盾，提高人均占有耕地面积、人均占有粮食的水平。
　　5、有利于农民少生快富。实行计划生育使每个家庭的人口减少，不仅可以减少家庭消费，而且使家庭主要成员腾出更多的时间和精力投入到发展家庭经济和健康娱乐中，从而保证家庭幸福、社会稳定。
　　中国在城市中普遍实施一胎政策，使得很多人将国家的计划生育基该国策在认识上等同于一胎政策。其实，一胎政策只是特定时间段实施的短期政策，如果国家始终保持一胎政策，会造成国家人口在未来急剧减少，影响中国在国际上的影响力。人口结构的剧变，会形成老龄化高峰，严重影响国家未来的发展。计划生育这一基该国策已经施行了30多年，也经历过修改和完善，虽然作出过巨大的贡献，但有舆论认为，国家应当而且必须在适当的时候，对计划生育政策的具体实施规定做出及时的调整，以改进其与社会发展不完全适应的地方，比如放开二胎生育等。否则，计划生育就不能完全取得预期的成果，给社会带来一定的负面影响

　　The growth rate of the minority population is faster than that of the Han, from 6.1% of the national population in 1953 to 8.04% in 1990, 8.41% in 2000, and 9.44% in 2005.
　　In the 2005 national sample survey, compared with the fifth national population census, the Han population increased by 23.55 million, an increase of 2.03%; the minority population increased by 16.90 million, an increase of 15.88%. The growth rate of the minority population is more than 7 times. Since the Han population accounts for the majority of China's population, it is also the most affected by the family planning policy. Therefore, some people believe that this goes against the principle of equality among ethnic groups in the Constitution, and are worried that the change in the ethnic population ratio in China, a multi-ethnic country, may lead to unstable factors within the country.

　　Throughout the entire pregnancy, if pregnant women can consciously eat certain foods, it can have a subtle effect on the development of the baby in the womb. Scientific dietary adjustment and balanced nutrition will help pregnant women have a beautiful and intelligent baby. Diet during pregnancy can also help with eugenic breeding!
　　Having a smart brain
　　I believe that all parents hope their children will be intelligent and clever. Therefore, pregnant women should eat more foods rich in iodine during pregnancy, such as seaweed and other marine products, to meet the baby's need for iodine, promote the synthesis of the baby's thyroid hormone, and also benefit the healthy development of the baby's brain.
　　Among these foods, seaweed is the best, as it is rich in protein, fatty acids, and trace elements such as calcium and iron. Eating seaweed can not only supplement iodine but also promote human metabolism, enhance the body's resistance to infection, and play a role in brain health and enhancement.
　　In the last three months of pregnancy, it is the 'sensitive period' for the proliferation of fetal brain cells and fat cells. During this period, pregnant women must pay attention to increasing their intake of protein, phospholipids, and vitamins, and should eat more dairy products, eggs, lean meat, liver, fish, beans, and green vegetables to ensure an adequate supply of food. It is hoped that all mothers can achieve their wishes and have a beautiful and intelligent baby.
　　How to have a baby with good skin?
　　If a mother wants her baby to have fairer skin, she can eat more foods rich in vitamin C. Because vitamin C has a disruptive effect on the production of melanin in the skin, thereby reducing the deposition of melanin, and the baby's skin will be tender and delicate.
　　Foods rich in vitamin C include common vegetables such as tomatoes, cauliflower, winter melon, and onions, as well as fruits like oranges, apples, and fresh jujubes, which also contain a lot of vitamin C. Among them, apples are the best food, as they are rich in vitamins and malic acid. Eating apples regularly can increase hemoglobin, not only making the skin fair and delicate, but also having excellent benefits for women with anemia. That's why the elderly often say that eating more apples is good for pregnant women and their babies, which is very reasonable.
　　Pregnant women should also eat foods rich in vitamin A regularly, as vitamins can protect the epidermal cells of the skin, making the baby's skin delicate and lustrous in the future.

　　Give pregnancy a preparation period
　　About 70% of birth defects occur in unplanned pregnancies. The causes of congenital malformations are various, such as factors inherent in the body, factors in the living environment that are unfavorable for the healthy development of the fetus, of course, a lack of nutrients before or during pregnancy is also a very important reason... In fact, many of these factors can be avoided or improved during the preparation period for pregnancy. Experts suggest that it is best to give yourself a 3-month 'preparation period' to adjust yourself in all aspects to create the best maternal environment for the baby. This tip is especially applicable to working women who are under pressure, and it is also responsible for the health of the future baby.
　　Choose the most suitable time for pregnancy
　　In fact, there is no clear distinction between the best and worst times for pregnancy in terms of timing. From a comprehensive perspective, experts believe that pregnancy in March and April of each year is better. This is because, after pregnancy, the summer season arrives, with abundant fruits and vegetables, and the expected delivery date is in January or February of the following year, which allows the baby to avoid the season when winter colds and influenza are prevalent. With the warming of the weather, it is a good season for the postpartum recovery of the mother and the development of the baby.
　　Change unhealthy lifestyle habits
　　Excessive drinking, smoking, staying up late, drinking coffee, picky eating, and fussy eating can all lead to an increased risk of low birth weight, miscarriage, and AIDS. If you plan to have a child, please note that both partners should jointly change these unhealthy habits that are not good for the baby's health. If you are still taking birth control pills, you should stop using them at least 3 months before pregnancy, as the hormones in birth control pills can also affect the early development of the embryo.
　　Have a pre-pregnancy physical examination
　　Experts remind that both partners who are planning to get pregnant should undergo a physical examination at the hospital first, especially for couples who have been married for several years before planning to have a child. It is very necessary to have a pre-pregnancy check-up to avoid genetic and other medical issues and ensure that the body is in the best condition for pregnancy.
　　Supplement vitamins in advance
　　In the preparation period, in addition to a balanced diet, it is also recommended to start taking prenatal multivitamins, which can ensure that a sufficient reserve of various vitamins, trace elements, and nutrients is available in your body from the very beginning of pregnancy, thereby avoiding and preventing early fetal development defects and congenital malformations caused by deficiencies in certain vitamins. Some prenatal vitamin products can effectively prevent neural tube defects in infants. In the early stages of pregnancy, the supplementation of vitamins can also improve symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. For fathers, it is also advisable to supplement vitamins moderately, such as vitamin C, which can improve sperm quality and motility.
　　Properly care for pets
　　Since the excrement of animals such as cats and dogs is the main source of Toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasmosis can affect the normal development of the fetus, so before pregnancy, you should go to the hospital to have a blood test to see if the Toxoplasmosis index is positive. Once it is positive, it is not advisable to get pregnant, and you must first use medication to turn the index negative before getting pregnant after a month or two. But also pay special attention to, when handling pet excrement at home during pregnancy, you should be very careful.
　　Do not be 'lazy and eat well'
　　Appropriate exercise during pregnancy is beneficial to both the mother and the baby's development. Activities such as cycling, walking, swimming, and so on, but should avoid some intense sports such as jogging, horseback riding, diving, and competitive sports, which can increase the risk of miscarriage. When you are not sure which sports are suitable for pregnant women, you can consult a professional obstetrician and gynecologist.
　　Moderate folic acid supplementation
　　Folic acid is a type of water-soluble vitamin. Folic acid can prevent neural tube defects in newborns and other congenital malformations and premature birth, and can also prevent maternal megaloblastic anemia. However, it is not the more folic acid you take, the better. Experts have found that excessive intake of folic acid can increase the risk of certain progressive, unknown neurological damage. A large number of clinical studies have shown that taking 800 micrograms of folic acid daily is very effective in preventing neural tube defects and other birth defects. The maximum daily intake of folic acid for pregnant women is 1000 micrograms.
　　Be cautious about taking medicine during pregnancy
　　A balanced diet during pregnancy, vitamin supplementation, good sleep, and moderate exercise are all beneficial to enhancing the constitution of the mother and promoting the healthy development of the baby. However, if you catch a cold, fever, or other diseases, do not take medicine on your own, as many ingredients in the medicine can pass through the placenta to affect the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a professional doctor before taking medicine and strictly follow the doctor's advice.
