Pregnant woman dies after smelling pesticides

The body of a pregnant woman is special because of the presence of the baby, so things that seem fine to a normal person may be fatal to the pregnant woman or the baby in her belly. For example, when a normal person smells pesticides, they will only feel the pungent smell, but it will not cause much harm to the body. However, when a pregnant woman smells pesticides, the chemicals in the pesticides may cause fetal death. Let's take a closer look below.

Taking medications in early pregnancy can have a significant impact on fetal development. The probability and extent of the impact are related to factors such as the type of medication, dosage, duration, and physical condition of the pregnant woman. If you want to keep the fetus, you should do prenatal checkups (such as Down syndrome screening at 14-20 weeks of pregnancy and color Doppler ultrasound fetal abnormality screening at 22-26 weeks of pregnancy), and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner.

Doctors will help patients choose drugs when they know there is a possibility of pregnancy. This should be based on the specific situation. In addition, judging from the time of taking the drugs, there should be no effect on the embryo. Generally speaking, there is almost no teratogenic effect of drugs from fertilization to the 18th day, that is, within 33 days of menopause.

If it is 3 weeks to 3 months after fertilization, that is, about 33 days to 13 weeks after menstruation, this period of time is the sensitive period of fetal teratogenicity, and congenital malformations are most likely to occur.

During the 3rd to 5th week of pregnancy, teratogenic drugs can cause malformations of organs or systems such as the central nervous system, heart, intestines, skeletal muscles, and muscles; during the 34th to 39th day of pregnancy, they can cause limbless fetuses; during the 43rd to 47th day of pregnancy, they can cause fetal hypoplasia and anorectal stenosis. The final stage of fetal development is from the third month of pregnancy to full term, during which malformations of the central nervous system or reproductive system may occur.

The smell of pesticides is particularly irritating. It can be inhaled into the body through the respiratory tract, and being exposed to the smell of pesticides for a long time is really very bad. It will affect the child and the pregnant woman. After pregnancy, the air in the home must be kept fresh.
