If a pregnant woman holds her urine, will the fetus suffer from oxygen deprivation?

Pregnant women holding urine will not cause fetal hypoxia, but it will have a great impact on the pregnant woman's own body. During pregnancy, women's secretions increase, and they often hold their urine, which can easily lead to inflammation and infection. If the urine holding is severe, it may also cause nephritis and other conditions, which is bad for the health of pregnant women. If cross-infection occurs, the inflammation may also affect the cervix and uterus, posing a threat to the fetus. Therefore, holding urine during pregnancy will hurt both yourself and the fetus.

Three major harms of holding urine during pregnancy

1. Harming the reproductive health of pregnant women

The female urethra is very close to the birth canal. If you often hold your urine, it is easy to cause cross infection and harm the reproductive health of pregnant women. If bacteria invade the birth canal, it may also affect the fetus.

2. It is not good for the baby's development

Holding urine during pregnancy will keep the bladder maintaining blood flow at a normal level. After pregnancy, the uterus and bladder are close to each other. Holding urine will cause the bladder to compress the uterus, leading to insufficient blood supply to the uterus and even fetal distress. Therefore, holding urine during pregnancy is not good for the fetus.

3. Abnormal body metabolism

The body's water circulation is very important for metabolism. If the body's water enters the bladder and becomes urine, it means that it has no circulation value. Pregnant women can help the body excrete metabolic waste in the urine through urination. If they often hold their urine, it may cause abnormal metabolism in the body, which is very bad for both themselves and the fetus.

Frequent urination during pregnancy cannot reduce the amount of water you drink every day

Some pregnant women feel that frequent urination during pregnancy is too annoying, so they deliberately reduce the amount of water they drink every day. Drinking less water will of course reduce the frequency of urination, but this behavior is not feasible. As the due date is approaching, many pregnant women will encounter the problem of "low amniotic fluid". Low amniotic fluid may cause fetal hypoxia, so it needs to be supplemented with a lot of drinking water. Therefore, the later the pregnancy is, the more pregnant women should not reduce the amount of water they drink every day. However, they can drink small amounts of water frequently, which can alleviate the degree of frequent urination and urgency of pregnant women, and will not affect the amniotic fluid of pregnant women.
