How to determine fetal survival at 12 weeks of pregnancy

At 12 weeks of pregnancy, how to confirm the survival of the fetus can only be determined through color Doppler ultrasound examination. If the color Doppler ultrasound examination shows a fully formed fetus in the uterus and the fetal heartbeat is also seen, it means that the fetus is alive. If the fetal heartbeat is not detected during B-ultrasound, it indicates that the fetus has stopped developing.

The twelfth week of pregnancy is about to be three months. After 12 weeks, the fetus has generally been stable in the uterus. Without obvious external stimulation, miscarriage is unlikely. Therefore, it is generally recommended to go to the hospital after 12 weeks to establish a maternal health care plan and conduct regular prenatal checkups. The baby is now about 16cm long and is busy stretching inside the mother's abdomen all day long, stretching its arms and kicking its legs. The pregnancy reaction period will also be over, and the pregnant mother's appetite will begin to improve.

This week the baby is already like a little person, with a crown-to-rump length of about 61-70mm. The fingers and toes have been completely separated, some bones are beginning to become hard, and joint prototypes are appearing. At this stage, the chance of miscarriage is relatively reduced, and the stability level is relatively low. It is relatively stable in the second trimester, but there is still a risk of miscarriage, so you have to be careful not to do any strenuous activity.

While the fetus is still unstable in the first 11 weeks, you can now safely sign up for some light activities. Some relatively light exercises, such as walking, swimming, stretching, squatting, etc., can be done.

12-week prenatal education is still dominated by nutritional prenatal education and massage prenatal education. Songs can also be added. Expectant mothers can appreciate relaxing, funny, beautiful and pleasant songs to relax their mood, alleviate the depression in early pregnancy, and be beneficial to the healthy growth and development of the fetus.

Doing some housework and moderate physical exercise during this stage often has great benefits for the psychological and physiological state of expectant mothers.

What medical care should I take during the 12th week of pregnancy?

First prenatal check-up and registration: At 12 weeks, you need to conduct the first prenatal check-up, which includes pelvic examination, blood pressure measurement, heart and lung examination, urine sugar test, etc. The hospital will also ask you to create a file to record the status of every physical examination during your pregnancy. Prenatal check-up records are very important throughout the pregnancy. Generally speaking, most of you will give birth in a registered hospital. So you should choose the hospital that suits you best.

The body temperature during ovulation is higher than usual: the body's metabolism accelerates during pregnancy, so your body temperature during ovulation is higher than usual. You don't have to think that you have a fever or a cold, and you can't take medicine casually, which may cause harm to the fetus.

Coccyx pain: Mothers who often squat during the day. You will feel pain in the coccyx. This is because the enlarged uterus compresses the intervertebral disc. You can try applying heat or ice to the coccyx for 15 minutes at a time, or try a hot shower, but the temperature should not be too high. You don't need to sit for a long time. Just relax moderately. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved a lot after 4 months of pregnancy.
