What are the effects of preeclampsia on the fetus?

Eclampsia is a complication of pregnancy. Eclampsia can cause certain harm to pregnant women and fetuses. As the disease worsens, the degree of harm will increase. At the same time, it will cause insufficient blood supply to the placenta, resulting in malnutrition of the fetus, which is very detrimental to the development of the fetus. It can even lead to premature birth and fetal death. So what effect does preeclampsia have on the fetus?

First, what impact does preeclampsia have on the fetus? If the pregnant woman's preeclampsia symptoms are mild, such as only gestational hypertension, then the impact on the fetus will be relatively small. Only when systemic arteriolar spasm occurs, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the placenta, will the growth and development of the fetus be affected, leading to fetal weight loss and restricted growth and development.

Second, if the pregnant woman has severe preeclampsia, intravascular embolism or placental abruption may occur on the basis of placental dysfunction, causing fetal distress, or even stillbirth, stillbirth, or neonatal death. Moreover, when the pregnant woman's condition is serious, in order to control preeclampsia, the pregnancy needs to be terminated early, which means that the chance of premature birth of the fetus is relatively high. Premature babies have poor living abilities, and children with gestational hypertension have weaker constitutions, so the mortality rate is also high.

Third, precautions for postpartum fetal care for patients with eclampsia: bathe the newborn once a day after entering the room, measure the body temperature once a day, and observe the situation closely; check whether the newborn has any deformities, and perform anal exploration if necessary to understand whether there are any complications; if the newborn has no urination or defecation for 24 hours, notify the doctor, and if there is urination or defecation, keep the sample; if the newborn has vomiting symptoms, closely observe the color and amount of vomitus, and at the same time, hold the vomiting newborn when feeding, and pat the newborn to expel gas after feeding; if the newborn has herpes all over the body, it may be inherited from the mother, and the cause should be investigated and the newborn should be isolated; if the newborn has intracranial hemorrhage, move TA as little as possible, and only do umbilical and buttocks care on the bed during care; closely observe whether the newborn has screaming, convulsions, shortness of breath and other symptoms; once a convulsion occurs, the location and duration of the baby's convulsion should be recorded in detail; on weekdays, observe the newborn's feeding, skin color, mental state, etc. to avoid sudden illness in the newborn; pay attention to keeping warm, add clothes to the newborn when the temperature changes, and pay attention to the newborn's diet, which should mainly be liquid food.

What effect does preeclampsia have on the fetus? If a pregnant woman's preeclampsia worsens into eclampsia, she will suddenly experience symptoms such as coma and convulsions, which will cause the pregnant woman's blood vessels to constrict and affect the blood flow to the uterus. When the blood flow to the uterus in the pregnant woman's body decreases, symptoms such as fetal maldevelopment, decreased amniotic fluid and placental abruption may occur. When eclampsia occurs, the baby is usually delivered prematurely. The fetus may be immature and prone to disease after birth.
