Early intrauterine embryonic development arrest

Pregnancy begins with embryonic development, which is the basis for the formation of life, and gradually grows and develops to form a complete living body. The embryo must develop healthily inside the uterus. However, modern women may have problems with early pregnancy due to various reasons, and early pregnancy brings certain risks to embryo development. For example, what should we do if the embryo stops developing in the uterus? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

It is normal to have an intrauterine pregnancy. But fetal growth retardation occurred, which is abnormal. If the embryo in the abdomen is not well developed, and ultrasound examination shows only an empty sac with no embryonic tissue, or there is embryonic tissue but no fetal heartbeat, this indicates miscarriage and the pregnancy should be cured.

If embryonic arrest occurs, all pregnancy reactions of the pregnant mother will gradually disappear. First of all, there will be no more early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting, and the feeling of breast swelling will also be reduced. Then there will be vaginal bleeding, usually dark red bloody leucorrhea. Finally, there may be lower abdominal pain and expulsion of the embryo. The above symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may not even show any signs, but may directly experience abdominal pain and then miscarriage, or the embryo may stop developing without any symptoms and be discovered through routine B-ultrasound examination.

treat:

First, induced labor is usually performed after the diagnosis of "stillbirth". If the dead fetus remains in the uterus for too long without being treated, it will have adverse effects on the mother. Usually, if the fetus is stillborn for more than four weeks, the pregnant woman will develop complications such as impaired blood clotting function. Those who have not delivered should undergo coagulation function tests to determine whether there are complications of DIC.

Second, fresh blood should be prepared for use after delivery, and uterotonic drugs should be injected in time during delivery to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. Antibiotics should be given postpartum to prevent infection.

Third, after delivery, the fetus, placenta, fetal membranes, and umbilical cord should be carefully examined. Those that cannot be identified by the naked eye can be sent for pathological examination to determine the cause of stillbirth.

Fourth, if one of the fetuses in a multiple pregnancy dies in the uterus first, the patient can generally be observed and waited. Pregnant women often have a transient decrease in fibrinogen and platelets, which then return to normal on their own. Once fibrinogen drops to 2g/L, the fetus is estimated to be viable and labor should be induced immediately.
