Many mothers will feel that in the final stages of pregnancy, the baby is quite stable, and it is time to give birth, everything seems to be able to relax and wait for the arrival of the baby. However, in fact, in the third trimester of pregnancy, there will also be a variety of problems, of which fetal hypoxia is one of the most serious cases.
In fact, when there are some situations during pregnancy, it may indicate that the fetus is hypoxic, before there was a mother, that is, at 38 weeks, there was a fetal lack of oxygen, fortunately found in time, and she who was planning to give birth to a normal child in the end could only be delivered by caesarean section to let the fetus be born early. Therefore, fetal hypoxia should be treated with caution, and what kind of situation does pregnant mothers need to pay attention to in the third trimester?
First, the cause of fetal hypoxia
Fetal hypoxia, also known as fetal intrauterine distress, will seriously threaten the life and health of the fetus in the womb, and the cause of fetal hypoxia will be affected by the mother itself and the fetus itself:
1. Maternal causes: For mothers in the third trimester, if there is hypotension, placental dysfunction or anemia, it will lead to abnormal oxygen transport of the fetus, resulting in an acute situation of fetal hypoxia. Moreover, insufficient amniotic fluid can also cause problems with fetal breathing difficulties.
2, fetal causes: The biggest factor is the umbilical cord around the neck or the umbilical cord twist, the former will lead to the fetus being tightly strangled by the umbilical cord and lead to suffocation, the latter will affect the normal transport of blood oxygen because of the excessive distortion of the umbilical cord.
Second, the manifestation of fetal hypoxia
The most obvious manifestation is the fetal movement abnormality, the abnormality here is often reflected in the abnormal fetal movement behavior of the fetus, usually, the baby has a fixed fetal movement law, the time and frequency will not be much difference every day.
However, if the fetus is too quiet or excessively intense fetal movements, it is possible that the fetus has intrauterine distress.
Usually, if the number of fetal movements is less than 10 times/12 hours or more than 40 times/hour, and the fetal movements are very disturbing and irregular, then mothers need to be vigilant, which may be abnormal fetal movement caused by fetal hypoxia. When counting the tires every day, it is found that the record situation is different, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for investigation.
Third, how to avoid the occurrence of fetal hypoxia
1, pregnant to do more exercise health care: even in the third trimester of pregnancy, pregnant women can not be lazy to do exercise, more active, more walking around is beneficial, because the activity of the body is conducive to accelerating blood circulation, improve the heart and lungs supply rate. Moreover, a healthy body is able to strengthen immunity and help fight against various pregnancy disorders that arise during pregnancy.
2, timely supplementation of iron: during pregnancy needs to consume a large number of red blood cells for hematopoiesis, in order to supply the baby's blood demand, so if the body is insufficient iron in the pregnant woman, then the body's hematopoietic function will have problems, blood oxygen circulation will also be affected, such as hypotension, anemia and other issues.
3, the use of left side of the sleeping position: this is the doctor will recommend the direction of the sleeping position, on the one hand, this is conducive to the body blood in the sleep to maintain a good supply efficiency, reduce the risk of fetal asphyxia. On the other hand, it can provide enough space environment for the growth of the fetus, and at the same time adjust the situation of uterine right rotation.
4, fetal heart rate monitoring and several fetal movements: these two are signs that can effectively reflect the intrauterine condition of the fetus, for healthy babies, fetal heart rate monitoring will show a normal fetal heartbeat beating frequency, and the number of fetal movements and occurrence time in daily life are also very regular. If abnormalities in both are found, relative measures are required to seek medical attention.
Important: Low blood pressure, placental abruption or anemia in pregnant women, coupled with the fetal umbilical cord wrapped around the neck or twisted situation may lead to fetal hypoxia, in the absence of oxygen, fetal movement abnormalities are the most obvious manifestations. To avoid fetal asphyxia, it is especially important to do more exercise, supplement iron, use the left recumbent position, and do a good job of fetal heartbeat testing.
