Recommendation for practice
The birth certificate form (T.r. 1/1) in this handbook signed

by health personnel to certify the birth of the child is neither
an official birth certificate nor birth registration. Parents should
contact the district or local registration officer at district/
sub-district office, municipality office, or Bangkok
Metropolitan Administration Office to register the birth of the
child in order to get an official Birth Certificate and to add the
childs name into the household record within 15 days after
birth. Parents should bring with them this handbook, a copy of
household record, and the identification card of the childs
mother or father when registering for the official Birth
Certificate. If you register later than 15 days, you as the
parents, will be fined for 1,000 baht by the law.
Documents required for official birth registration :

1. A copy of household record.
2. Identification card of the childs mother or father.
3. Marriage license of the parents (if any).
For your childs well-being:

If the mother is physically and mentally
healthy, then the child will be healthy and happy.
Good physical and mental health of mother has resulted from the
good care of the husband.

nurse immediately.

times, if not or less than 3 times in 1 hour, see your doctor or nurse promptly

Discomforts During Pregnancy

Morning sickness is commonly experienced in early period of pregnancy,
with nausea and vomiting in the morning. The symptoms can be improved by
mental adjustment, avoiding unfavorable food, eating small meal each time but
several times, or having soft food and warm drinks. The symptoms will
disappear at 4 months of gestation.
Vaginal discharge will commonly increase during pregnancy. Take a usual
bath, except if accompanied with itching and smelling, see the doctor.
Constipation is found in some pregnant women and can be lessen by
drinking more water and eating more vegetables and fruits, if not improved,
see the doctor.
Frequent urination is caused by the expansion of uterus which places more
pressure on the bladder. If experiencing burning pain or obstructed urinating,
see the doctor.
Fatigue and drowsiness is common early in pregnancy with feeling tired and
sleepy.
Varicose veins usually disappear after delivery. Always change your gesture
properly, avoid long period of walking or standing, sit with your feet elevated
for 15 20 minutes every day after walking or working, use legs support hose
to provide compression.
Stretch Masks should be applied gently with cream, avoid scratching.

antacid.
