What are the symptoms of early pregnancy fetal growth retardation

The editor remembers mentioning it some time ago that when a mother is pregnant, the family has to worry about many things. And fetal arrest is something that many families need to pay attention to. Fetal arrest simply means that the fetus stops growing and developing, which may lead to fetal death in the womb. In order to prevent this from happening to everyone, what are the symptoms of fetal arrest in early pregnancy? Let's take a look.

What are the symptoms of early pregnancy arrest?

1. Pregnancy reactions subside. Pregnant women no longer have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, and the feeling of breast swelling has gradually weakened. Examination can find that the uterus has no longer expanded and the weight has also decreased to a certain extent.

2. Vaginal bleeding. Some pregnant women will experience vaginal bleeding, because it is a natural replacement for the fetus to be expelled from the uterine cavity, and dark red blood will be discharged. Experts say that most fetuses can be discharged spontaneously after fetal arrest, but if the pregnant woman has not discharged the fetus within 4 weeks after fetal arrest, she may experience symptoms such as general fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, internal bleeding, etc., and she needs to pay attention.

3. Distension and pain in the lower abdomen. Some pregnant women experience very weak pain in the lower abdomen.

Therefore, if women want to save their fetuses, they need to ensure that:

1. First of all, the critical period for the growth and development of fetal neural tube defects is from 17 to 30 days in early pregnancy. At this time, if the intake of folic acid tablets is insufficient, it may cause abnormal growth and development of the fetus's central nervous system. Therefore, folic acid tablets should be supplemented from the beginning of pregnancy planning to effectively prevent fetal neural tube defects. Many natural foods are rich in folic acid, including various fruits and vegetables, animal kidneys, beans, fruits, dairy products, etc.

2. During pregnancy, the blood flow of pregnant women increases and the need for iron will double. Therefore, expectant mothers should also supplement iron as soon as possible to prevent iron deficiency anemia and its adverse effects. If you do not pay attention to iron intake, you may easily suffer from iron deficiency anemia, and may even cause the fetus to suffer from iron deficiency anemia.

3. In addition, adequate zinc is important for the early growth and development of fetal organs, and helps prevent miscarriage and premature birth. In the early stages of pregnancy, you can eat according to your appetite without deliberately eating more or less. Eating small meals frequently and eating when you can is the key dietary principle for pregnant women during this period. During this period, there is no need to avoid changes in your eating habits. Eating sour foods may increase your appetite.

What will cause fetal arrest?

1. Genetic factors: If there are chromosomal abnormalities or genetic defects, the most common ones are abnormalities in the sex chromosomes of male sperm or egg cells.

2. Insufficient metabolism of growth hormone cannot be applied to the embryonic development process, resulting in death.

3. Uterine deformity prevents test tube embryos from growing and developing.

4. Viral infection during pregnancy, contact with radioactive elements, harmful chemical Chinese medicines, taking medicines that are strictly prohibited during pregnancy, high temperature, microwave heating, noise, excessive stress, etc.
