In the maternity check-up center, some expectant mothers will be told by the doctor after getting the results: the size of the baby's development does not match the number of weeks of pregnancy
What？
Obviously, the number of gestational weeks calculated according to the last menstrual period does not match the number of weeks (fetal development) obtained by the ultrasound examination? Impossible, right?
In fact, this situation is not unique.
Generally speaking, the difference of one week does not have to care too much, if the number of gestational weeks is ridiculously poor, the expectant mother needs to combine the doctor's advice, starting from daily living habits, diet and other living habits, the expectant mother with large fetal development needs to exercise appropriately, and the fetal development cannot keep up, and it is necessary to strengthen nutrition. In addition, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions to do the examination on time and comprehensively evaluate the diagnosis to ensure that other potential hidden dangers can be detected in time.
What factors affect fetal development?
01
The tall stature of the mother
The "speed of the progress bar" of fetal development is inextricably linked to the size of the mother. If the mother-to-be has a wide skeleton and a tall body, the fetus may also grow faster and develop significantly in the womb. But this is not a "universal law", the fetus is slow or developing too fast, can not rely on this indicator alone to "go all over the world".
02
The function of the placenta
The placenta function is good, the "horsepower" is enough, the nutrition obtained by the little guy from the mother is sufficient, and the natural development is good; and if the placental function is defective, it is like a seed falling in the dry and nutrient-deprived soil, and the development naturally cannot keep up.
03
Umbilical cord vascular function
The umbilical cord is the main hub for the communication and exchange of the mother-to-be and the baby, and undertakes the heavy responsibility of transporting blood, nutrients and other transport substances. If there is a "fault" in the performance of the umbilical cord, such as knots, single umbilical arteries, water sacs, hematomas, etc., it will affect blood delivery, which in turn will affect the growth and development of the fetus.
04
The level of blood sugar
The right amount of sugar is like fuel, which can help the fetus to "add full horsepower" and grow better. But everything is too late. If the blood sugar of the expectant mother is high, the fetal development is "too strong" into a fat doll, which is easy to evolve into gestational diabetes, causing huge children and other risks. Therefore, sugar control during pregnancy is particularly important.
05
Metabolic, hypertensive disorders
If the expectant mother has gestational hypertension, the resistance in the blood vessels will be larger than that of other pregnant women, and the umbilical artery and placental function will also have bugs.
Blood and other nutrients want to pay tribute and treasure to the fetus in the womb, but the road is not smooth, the journey is bumpy, the people and horses are trapped, and there is really a lack of spare strength! The babies in the palace could not get the supplies of the "city-state residents" in time, and they could only sigh!
06
The number of tires
Multiple tires will weigh less than singletons. The amount of food is placed there, even through scientific and reasonable nutrition management, it is difficult to cover all aspects, nutrition is divided into more to give multiple babies, each baby will absorb less nutrients than singleton babies, and the weight will be lighter.
07
The condition of the mother absorbing nutrients
Although the fetal baby is full of energy and wants to grow up quickly, if the "big BOSS" in charge of the entire city-state - the expectant mother is not in good health and malnourished, the fetal baby wants to achieve a "big pattern" to do a big job, it is inevitable that because of the lack of material foundation, and "heroic shortness of breath".
Therefore, the expectant mother should love herself more during pregnancy, so as not to let the baby in the belly be wronged and fall behind
08
The mother has anemia
Expectant mothers with iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia generally have slow fetal development and small size.
09
The habits of life are good or bad
After pregnancy, if the expectant mother still maintains the habit of drinking and smoking, it is undoubtedly a matter of wood for fish, which is not conducive to her own health and the growth of the fetus.
There are many factors affecting the development of the fetus, and some people have used "careful" and "walking on thin ice" to describe the October pregnancy, which is not exaggerated. For the sake of the new generation, expectant mothers should maintain good living habits, scientific and reasonable diets, and appropriate exercises that are beneficial to the body and mind. In addition, remember to keep a good mood and be happy every day
