Pregnant woman reacts to five-month fetal death

Pregnant women believe that they all love babies very much, and of course they also look forward to the arrival of the baby. But the pregnancy process is long, even though it only lasts ten months. During the pregnancy, you may encounter many unexpected things, such as fetal arrest, miscarriage, spotting, etc. The fifth month of pregnancy can be said to be halfway through the birthing process, and close to the final destination. But if the fetus dies at that time, what will the pregnant woman do?

What are the reactions of pregnant women whose fetuses died at five months?

Fetal death refers to the death of a fetus in the womb after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Symptoms of fetal death include: cessation of fetal movement, cessation of fetal heartbeat, and failure of the uterus to expand again; reduction in the fundus of the uterus and fetal abdominal circumference, and subsidence and reduction in breast swelling; focal intravascular coagulation may occur in older women if the fetus dies after a certain period of time. If the fetus stops developing in the early stages of pregnancy, it is called fetal arrest. Some people may experience spotting and abdominal pain, but may also have no symptoms. When they go for an ultrasound examination one or two months later, they find that the fetus has already stopped developing.

How can a fetus die in the abdomen?

The following factors are particularly likely to cause neonatal death. 1. Transverse position of the fetus: The fetal position is breech. If breech traction is required, the fetus is often difficult to deliver due to the head position, resulting in fetal suffocation and death. 2. Fetal injury: The fetus is injured due to squeezing while passing through the birth canal during delivery. 3. Umbilical cord torsion: The umbilical cord twists inside the pregnant mother, resulting in poor blood circulation and the death of the fetus. 4. Fetal umbilical cord slippage: The umbilical cord slips off before or during delivery, causing compression of the umbilical cord, poor fetal circulatory system, and lack of oxygen, leading to death. 5. Infection: Newborn babies infected with pneumonia or sepsis after birth. 6. People with congenital deformities. 7. The fetus’ pelvis is very different.

Fetal death is related to many factors, and it is still unclear what the factors are at this stage. Fetal death can be divided into two levels. On the one hand, it is due to the fetus, and on the other hand, it is due to the pregnant woman. The five-month-old fetus has already had fetal movements. If one day the fetus suddenly stops moving, then the pregnant woman should pay attention at this time, because the fetus may have died. Therefore, pregnant women need to go for prenatal check-ups regularly to ensure the normal growth and development of the fetus.
