After pregnancy, many contents and nouns are heard for the first time, such as a "Tang sieve" in the 12th week of pregnancy, and a "sugar sieve" in the second trimester, although the pronunciation is the same, but the direction of the examination is completely different.
In the third trimester, each obstetric examination doctor will pay attention to the child's development and the amount of amniotic water. If there is too little amniotic fluid, it may cause hypoxia and suffocation of the fetus, and the problem is more serious.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > why is the water in the stomach called "amniotic fluid" and not the water of other animals? </h1>
My girlfriend Yiyi was more than 35 weeks pregnant, and the obstetric doctor who had just finished the examination said that there was less amniotic fluid, so he called and asked me if the amniotic fluid was normal when I was pregnant, and what should I eat to supplement the amniotic fluid. After chatting with my girlfriend, my son suddenly asked me, "Aunt Yiyi has less amniotic fluid, can't you eat more lamb and drink some mutton soup?" ”
Hearing his son's words was really defeated by his innocence, although it was amniotic fluid, it had nothing to do with the lamb, and it had nothing to do with the mutton and mutton soup.
My son was even more confused after listening to my explanation, "Why is it called amniotic fluid, not cow water or other animal water?" ”
This time I asked, from the time I was pregnant, I heard the doctor say the term amniotic fluid, but why these two words are unknown.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > there are three different ways to say the origin of the word "amniotic fluid" </h1>
Folk legend: the development and growth of the fetus is wrapped in this beach of water, indicating that these waters are very nutritious, not only can let the child eat enough and grow up normally, so the past midwife will call the water in the womb "nourishing water", which means that it is the water that feeds the fetus.
Later, in the process of circulation, it was written as "amniotic fluid" because of homophones and other reasons. No matter which word it is, the meaning is nutritious water.
Chinese medicine saying: In Chinese medicine, the five elements of yin and yang are emphasized, the sun born in the morning is called "yang", and the conception and beginning of life is called "yang". Therefore, in Traditional Chinese medicine, the environment in which children grow and develop is called "Yang Shui". In the use of ancient Chinese characters, "sheep" and "yang" are homophonous and sometimes agree, so it is transformed into "amniotic fluid".
It is said abroad that in foreign countries, the intestines of sheep were used for contraception, and when the child was born, the outer wrapped membrane looked very much like the intestines of the sheep, so the water inside was called "amniotic fluid".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > if there is less amniotic fluid, it will affect fetal health</h1>
Every obstetric examination doctor will pay attention to the amniotic fluid situation, especially in the third trimester, the amount of amniotic fluid is the focus of each obstetric examination. To know that the development of the fetus is completely in the amniotic fluid, if the amniotic fluid is less and lighter will affect the normal development of the fetus, serious may also lead to fetal hypoxia, deformity and even suffocation, the impact is very large.
There are several aspects of low amniotic fluid:
Rupture of the amniotic membrane: a thin membrane is wrapped around the outside of the fetus, just like the membrane on the outside of an egg. It is precisely because of the presence of amniotic membranes that the fetus can grow in amniotic fluid.
If the amniotic membrane is ruptured, even if it is only a small crack, it will allow the amniotic fluid to slowly seep out. This kind of amniotic fluid flow is relatively small, and pregnant women themselves will not have much feeling, and most of them will be found when the doctor examines it.
After the rupture of amniotic membranes, it will not only affect the amount of amniotic fluid, but also easily cause fetal infection. In most cases, a slight small crack can heal slowly, such as when an amniocentesis is done.
Placental problems: it is more common to have premature stripping of the placenta, the maturity of the normal placenta is related to the development of the fetus, and when it is around the expected date, the placenta will also mature, and it can be discharged faster during childbirth.
If the placenta falls off early, it will not only fail to provide the fetus with the nutrients and oxygen needed for development, but also cause serious consequences of the interruption of the amniotic fluid cycle. Therefore, in the third trimester, the maturity of the placenta is also a must-see content for every obstetric examination.
Causes of physical diseases: The physical health of pregnant women will affect the amount of amniotic fluid, such as gestational hypertension, threatened purpura, gestational diabetes, etc., which will cause less amniotic fluid.
Multiple births also make less amniotic fluid: if twins or multiples, the amount of amniotic fluid will also be reduced, after all, the same space needs to be divided by two people. If the baby is born with problems with development, it will also affect the amount of amniotic fluid.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > found that there is less amniotic fluid, what methods can be remedied? </h1>
Drink more water: If the amount of amniotic fluid is only small, it will not affect the fetus and the body of pregnant women, and it can be supplemented by drinking more water, and the source of amniotic fluid is obtained through the mother. For example, milk, soy milk and other drinks rich in nutrients, avoid eating winter melon, watermelon and other diuretic fruits.
Find the cause of the solution: The first step in finding less amniotic fluid is to conduct a detailed examination to find the cause of the decrease in amniotic fluid. If it is caused by the pregnant woman's blood volume depletion or lack of oxygen, it can be very helpful by drinking water, infusion, and inhaling oxygen.
If it is due to congenital developmental malformations of the fetus, the fetus needs to be observed to determine whether it is necessary to continue the pregnancy.
Intra-amniotic perfusion: If the situation is urgent or serious, normal saline will be injected into the amniotic membrane through a needle under ultrasound B ultrasound, which is currently more common and has more applications.
Conclusion: Now that medicine is more and more advanced, regular obstetric examinations can be done to find problems in advance. The amount of amniotic fluid, the development of the child, and the health of pregnant women are all issues that need to be paid attention to throughout pregnancy.
