How does a pregnant woman know if her baby is lacking oxygen?

Oxygen deficiency in babies often occurs in the late stages of pregnancy. When the baby is hypoxic, the pregnant woman will first noticeably feel that the fetus suddenly becomes abnormally strong, or the fetus suddenly becomes quieter, and the frequency of fetal movement exceeds 40 times or is less than 10 times within 12 hours; at the same time, when checking the fetal heart rate, it is found that the fetal heart rate exceeds or is less than 120-160 beats per minute; in addition, the accurate measurement of uterine height can be used to determine whether the fetus has language delay. So how do pregnant women determine if their baby is not getting enough oxygen?

When pregnant, expectant mothers like to feel the baby moving in their abdomen. Sometimes, expectant mothers find that the baby is not moving, they will be very anxious and wonder if there is something wrong with the baby. So how can they know whether the baby is lacking oxygen?

First, you can identify the baby based on the sound. When the baby grows in the mother's belly to 18 weeks, simple fetal movements can be performed. If the baby has trouble breathing in the belly, it will become more and more abnormal than usual. The expectant mother can compare it with the normal fetal movement of the baby. If a very cheerful baby suddenly becomes silent, or a very quiet baby suddenly becomes noisy, the expectant mother should also observe whether the baby is really lacking in oxygen.

Secondly, it can be judged according to the fetal heartbeat. Expectant mothers can often use a fetal heart rate monitor to check the baby's fetal heart rate, and then record the baby's fetal heart rate. If the baby's fetal heartbeat becomes faster or slower within a certain period of time, expectant mothers should pay attention.

Finally, the palace height resolution can be accurately measured. After 28 weeks of growth in the mother's belly, the baby can grow one centimeter per week according to the law of growth and development. Expectant mothers can stay at home and ask their family members to help measure the uterine height regularly, or see a doctor for a prenatal check-up. If the uterine height does not increase after 2 weeks, the expectant mother should pay attention.
