What are the effects of low blood pressure during pregnancy on the fetus?

1. We should understand that hypotension is generally divided into symptomatic and temporary asymptomatic conditions. If there are no symptoms, there will be basically no significant impact on the fetus. If there are symptoms, it should still be taken seriously.

2. We know that if there is low blood pressure, it may cause dizziness, fatigue, and in severe cases, it may cause fainting or even shock. Especially if the pregnant woman is in shock, it may cause intrauterine distress syndrome caused by ischemic hypoxia of the fetus, so it should be treated immediately.

3. We should also note that if you have low blood pressure during pregnancy, you should always be surrounded by others to avoid fainting. You should also pay more attention to nutrition and rest. Maintaining a healthy and positive mentality is also very important.

What to do if you have low blood pressure during pregnancy

1. Improve nutrition, eat both meat and vegetables, and effectively match your diet to ensure that you take in a full range of sufficient nutrients, so that your body will gradually become stronger from being weak. Eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, clear and nourish the spleen and kidney, such as lotus seeds, red dates and other fresh fruits, which have the effects of calming the brain and blood, strengthening the spleen, stomach and brain, and can be taken for a long time. Drink more porridge and water to increase salt intake.

2. If you have anemia accompanied by low red blood cell count and insufficient hemoglobin concentration, you should eat more foods rich in protein, iron, copper, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C "hematopoietic raw materials", such as beef liver, egg yolk, lean meat, milk, river shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, tofu, brown sugar, fruits and vegetables. Correcting anemia is helpful to increase cardiac output, improve blood supply to the brain, increase blood pressure and eliminate adverse symptoms caused by low blood pressure.

3. If you have a poor appetite, you can eat appropriate amounts of food and condiments that can stimulate your appetite, such as ginger, onion, vinegar, sauce, sugar, pepper, chili pepper, wine, and so on.

4. In contrast to hypertension, this disease should choose a moderate high-sodium, high-cholesterol diet. Sodium hydroxide (i.e. table salt) needs to be consumed at 12-15 grams every day (but the salt intake should not be too high). Foods rich in cholesterol, such as brain, liver, eggs, cream, fish roe, pork bones, etc., can be eaten appropriately and regularly to increase blood cholesterol levels, increase arterial tension, and lower blood pressure.

5. Eat less foods that have the effect of lowering blood pressure, such as red beans, gourds, wax gourds, melons, lettuce, hawthorn fruits, eggplants, mung beans, garlic, kelp shreds, onions, and sunflower seeds.
