Harm of early pregnancy contractions to the fetus

Only when the fetus is born at the due date will it be a healthy baby. If the fetus is born from the mother's womb prematurely, it proves to be a premature baby. The physical fitness of a premature baby will be much weaker than that of a normal fetus. There are many factors in life that can cause premature birth in pregnant women, among which uterine contractions are the factor that has the greatest impact on premature birth. The following explains to pregnant women the harm that too frequent uterine contractions in early pregnancy can cause to the fetus.

Generally speaking, women experience uterine contractions during pregnancy, both normal labor contractions and abnormal contractions. When the contractions are not strong, there may be no obvious feeling, or it may just be the same lower abdominal pain as during menstruation. The intensity of pain varies from person to person. When uterine contractions cause mild pain, it will pass after a while, and then gradually the pain will intensify, the intervals will shorten, and the pain duration will also be prolonged. The pain caused by uterine contractions spreads to the lower abdomen, and some people may also experience lower back pain and a feeling of defecation. This kind of uterine contraction is normal in preparation for the birth of the baby. As long as you cooperate with the doctor, you can go through the delivery smoothly. Uterine contractions generally have no major impact on the baby, but if they are too frequent, they may cause the baby to be deprived of oxygen or be born prematurely!

If a pregnant woman finds that she has frequent uterine contractions during pregnancy, there must be certain reasons for it, so you should pay attention to it. This situation is very unfavorable to the fetus. Uterine contractions in early pregnancy are very harmful and can cause insufficient blood supply to the placenta. If the fetus is strong and of normal weight, the impact will be smaller. If the weight is too light, frequent uterine contractions can easily lead to fetal growth retardation, and in severe cases, fetal death. Therefore, when abnormal uterine contractions occur, you should check in time to find out the cause of the frequent uterine contractions. If the baby's development is normal, you can consider preserving the fetus. If the fetus has abnormal phenomena, such as a weakened fetal heart rate, it may endanger the survival of the fetus. In this case, you must follow the doctor's advice to deal with it in time to prevent more serious consequences.

The above is about the impact of uterine contractions on the fetus. Generally, normal and regular uterine contractions during full-term delivery will not affect the fetus, but if uterine contractions occur too early and too frequently, it will affect the development and even survival of the fetus. Therefore, when abnormal uterine contractions occur, it is recommended that expectant mothers must pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time for symptomatic treatment to reduce harm to the fetus.
