Symptoms and hazards of hypoxia in pregnant women

After becoming pregnant, pregnant women should carefully care for the baby's growth, especially the child's heartbeat every minute and every second and some of the child's physical development conditions. Why don't we let pregnant women lose their temper in many cases? If pregnant women lose their temper, it can easily cause fetal hypoxia. In the following article, the editor will introduce what are the manifestations of hypoxia in pregnant women?

How will pregnant women react if the fetus is deprived of oxygen?

Signs of fetal hypoxia: losing temper

Clinical studies have confirmed that fetal hypoxia is the main cause of stillbirth, neonatal illness or death, and mental retardation in children. Although there are many modern instruments and equipment that can monitor fetal hypoxia, it is difficult for pregnant women to receive medical monitoring at all times, so some fetal hypoxia cannot be discovered and corrected in time. However, the fetus will also send out distress signals in the early stages of hypoxia, and their manifestation is "losing temper", which should attract the attention of pregnant women.

Changes in fetal movement Fetal movement is a normal physiological activity of the fetus, which can be felt by pregnant women at 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. The fetal movement varies for different fetuses. Generally, the movements of a quiet fetus are gentler and less frequent, while the movements of an excited fetus are larger and more frequent. If a originally lively fetus suddenly becomes quiet, or a originally quiet fetus suddenly becomes restless, and the fetal movement is less than 10 times/12 hours or more than 40 times/12 hours, it indicates the possibility of fetal intrauterine hypoxia. This is because the fetus is trying to reduce oxygen consumption or because hypoxia affects the central nervous system. Pregnant women can calculate fetal movements while sitting or lying down. They should count for one hour at fixed times in the morning, noon and evening. The total of three times should be multiplied by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours.

Abnormal fetal heart rate: A normal fetal heart rate is regular and strong, at 120-160 beats per minute. If the fetal position is normal, it will be on the left or right side of the pregnant woman's lower abdomen, where the fetal back is located. The husband can listen to it with the help of simple instruments. Before the fetal movement decreases, the fetal heart rate becomes too frequent. If it exceeds 160 beats/minute, it is a sign of early fetal hypoxia. If the fetal movement decreases or stops, and the fetal heart rate is less than 120 beats/minute, it is a sign of late fetal hypoxia. The position for listening to the fetal heart rate should be at the position specified by the doctor, but it should be noted that if the fetal heart rate is normal, it should be listened to again after 20 minutes; if the fetal heart rate is fast, it should be listened to again when there is no fetal movement.

Many times, there are many manifestations of hypoxia in pregnant women, especially causing the fetus to stop having its heartbeat, and even affecting the normal physical development of the fetus. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to their daily lives, and never lose their temper and maintain a happy mood.
