Symptoms of fetal hypoxia at 23 weeks of pregnancy

After pregnancy, a small life will appear in the body of the pregnant woman. This small life will accompany the mother for ten months. This small life is naturally her own child. In the early stages, children grow up little by little in their mothers' bodies, eat and sleep with their mothers, and accompany their mothers all the time. Let’s take a look at what to do if the fetus is suffering from hypoxia at 23 weeks of pregnancy?

What to do if your baby is hypoxic at 23 weeks of pregnancy

1. If fetal hypoxia occurs, especially severe lack of oxygen causing fetal growth retardation. Some mothers think that since the baby is small, it is better to keep the baby in the uterus for a longer time. However, the gynecologist will analyze the reasons for the small size of the fetus. If it is due to poor embryonic function and fetal intrauterine hypoxia, it means that the intrauterine environment can no longer provide sufficient nutrition to the baby. The mortality rate will be higher if it stays in the uterus for one more day. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate and analyze the risk factors of premature birth of the baby in the uterus and after birth, and determine a relatively appropriate gestational week for delivery.

2. Pay great attention to the problem of fetal intrauterine hypoxia. The following is an explanation for you about the problem of fetal intrauterine hypoxia: If the baby does not have enough oxygen in the uterus, it will manifest as abnormal increased fetal movements in the early stage and decreased fetal movements in the later stage, as well as the fetal heart rate becoming faster in the early stage and decreasing in the later stage. If the situation is serious and the possibility of fetal death is not eliminated, the first thing to do in the treatment of fetal intrauterine hypoxia is to provide low-flow oxygen and correct the common causes of fetal hypoxia such as oligohydramnios or umbilical cord around the neck. The actual situation requires ultrasound examination and other tests. If the fetus is in an oxygen-deficient state in the uterine cavity for a long time, it will affect the baby's brain development and may even cause cerebral palsy in the baby.

The above is a summary of relevant information on what to do if the fetus is hypoxic at 23 weeks of pregnancy. I believe it will be of great help to everyone. The baby will always be in the mother's womb, and all nutrients are obtained from the mother's body, including oxygen, which is connected by an umbilical cord. Mothers should also pay special attention to this, so mothers should also pay attention to their own changes.
