Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
Pregnant mothers-to-be are very careful about their bodies and the development of their fetuses, even as Jian Jian looks at Jin Jun.
As a mother-to-be, it is good to be careful of some nature, after all, we are in the "bright" fetus in the "dark", too careless to know what problems will occur, especially the bridge between the fetus and the mother - the umbilical cord, as an important "lifeline" more important to pay attention to.
Those things about the "umbilical cord" and the fetus
For the fetus, the umbilical cord is an important and only channel for obtaining nutrients from the mother, exchanging gases and eliminating metabolites.
Once there is a problem with the umbilical cord, the safety of the fetus is threatened.
Regarding umbilical cord abnormalities, the most common thing expectant mothers hear is that "the umbilical cord is around the neck".
Because the fetus is surrounded by amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord will float up in the womb, and as the fetus moves in the uterine cavity, it will definitely become entangled with the umbilical cord.
However, because the fetus is moving at any time, the winding situation will be different, and the amniotic fluid in the womb or the umbilical cord will be too long to guide the umbilical cord around the neck.
But not all umbilical cords around the neck are fatal, because generally speaking, the umbilical cord of the fetus is like a spring, with a certain degree of stretch, and the umbilical cord will also be wrapped around the neck when the fetus plays with itself, but it will not cause pressure on the neck like wearing a scarf.
However, if the umbilical cord is too tight or the number of weeks is too large, it will not only make the baby suffocate due to lack of oxygen, but also affect the mother's blood supply to the fetus, which will affect the health of the fetus.
How to judge that the fetus is "umbilical cord around the neck"? Don't ignore these three performances of expectant mothers!
Irregular number of fetal movements:
Pregnant women around 4 months pregnant can experience the fetal movement of the baby kicking the belly, but due to the difference in the constitution of the fetus, the fetal movement is light and heavy;
However, regardless of the severity, each baby's fetal movement has its own rules, and expectant mothers who often count fetal movements know best.
If the expectant mother finds that the fetal movement of the fetus is suddenly different from the previous law, faster or less moving, it is possible that the baby is "trapped" by the umbilical cord.
Irregular fetal heartbeat:
The fetal heartbeat of the fetus can be monitored by instruments and is as regular as the heartbeat of an adult.
If the fetal heartbeat beat is found to be irregular through monitoring, in the absence of other problems, the umbilical cord may be wrapped around the neck. Because the umbilical cord wraps around the neck interferes with the blood supply to the baby, it can change the heart rate.
Slow fetal development:
Each obstetric examination doctor will judge the development of the fetus according to various examinations and values, so as to judge the development of the fetus, and each examination also has a fixed value as a reference;
If the difference between the obstetric examination indicators and the standard value is too large, indicating that the development of the fetus is not normal, then the doctor can determine the real situation of the umbilical cord around the neck according to the B ultrasound photo.
The above three body signals, or to remind you that the fetus is "umbilical cord around the neck", expectant mothers must not be careless!
The fetus has an umbilical cord around the neck, what can expectant mothers do?
Although more common, not all neck wraps are fatal, so expectant mothers should not be intimidated by these four words, and while listening to the doctor's advice, they must also do something for the baby.
First: record fetal movements
The middle and third trimester of pregnancy is the most dangerous stage of the umbilical cord around the neck, it is necessary for the expectant mother to insist on recording the fetal movement, it is best to determine a fixed time in the morning, middle and evening, so that you can count the fetal movements in a relaxed state, and the fetal movement is normal at 3 times or more per hour. The number of times other than that should be paid attention to.
Second: moderate exercise and healthy scientific diet and sleep
Expectant mothers are not the best "Ge You lie" every day, and moderate exercise not only helps expectant mothers to give birth, but also avoids the danger of fetal circumvention.
Scientific diet is an important factor to ensure the development of expectant mothers and fetuses, do not blindly make up for it, big fish and big meat.
Third: timely monitoring of fetal heart rates
The fetus in the womb needs to rely on the umbilical cord to absorb nutrients, if the oxygen is not enough will also affect the health, this time the fetal heart rate is the key, after 32 weeks of pregnancy, the expectant mother will start to do a good job of fetal heart rate monitoring, after the appearance of abnormalities must be timely to the hospital, the correct response!
In fact, the umbilical cord around the neck is not the devil, it is important to find it in time, which also means that the pregnant mother has a heavy responsibility, as for the problem of whether the neck can still have a smooth delivery, or to obey the doctor's arrangement during childbirth.
