What are the symptoms if the pregnancy stops?

Fetal arrest is something that many people don't understand very well, but for some pregnant women, they need to be reminded to pay attention to it in daily life. Others mainly refer to the cessation of fetal growth in the body, which is often caused by some reasons or death. So for some pregnant women, what methods can they use in life to determine whether they have the symptom of fetal arrest?

What are the symptoms of miscarriage?

During pregnancy, if you experience sudden abdominal pain that is crampy, you should take it seriously. In early pregnancy, severe lower abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding may be a warning sign of ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, abdominal bleeding will cause intermittent severe tearing pain and vaginal bleeding; if it is a threatened miscarriage, the pregnant woman's abdomen will have an obvious feeling of falling, the abdominal pain is not very severe, and there will be vaginal bleeding.

The fundus of the uterus does not reach the height it should for the gestational age, which is a sign of intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus. From the 13th week of pregnancy to full term, the weight of pregnant women increases at an average rate of 350 grams per week. From the 13th to the 28th week of pregnancy, the weight gain of the pregnant woman is mainly due to her own weight, while after the 28th week of pregnancy, the weight gain is mainly due to the fetus. After 28 weeks of pregnancy, if the prenatal examination finds that the pregnant woman's uterine height is lower than the 10th percentile of the uterine height for that gestational week, there is a possibility of fetal growth retardation.

Fetal movement is one of the most objective signs of fetal life and is a signal sent by the fetus to the mother. Therefore, pregnant women should keep track of fetal movements to understand the safety of the fetus and detect problems in time. If the temperature decreases due to excessive freezing, it may be a precursor to fetal growth retardation. Pregnant women must pay more attention to this aspect.

The symptoms of fetal growth retardation vary from person to person. Some pregnant women experience very mild symptoms, while some even have no symptoms at all and end up having a miscarriage. Some women don't even discover it until they have an ultrasound check during pregnancy. However, most pregnant women will experience some symptoms to varying degrees after fetal growth retardation occurs.

What are the reasons for fetal arrest?

1. Heredity: If the embryo has chromosomal abnormalities and gene defects due to genetic factors, it will cause embryonic arrest, such as chromosomal abnormalities in sperm or eggs. Embryonic arrest is not uncommon among pregnant women, and there are many reasons for this condition.

2. Hormones: In many cases, embryonic arrest is caused by insufficient hormone secretion. This is because the embryo does not get the required hormone supply, which causes death. In addition, female uterine malformations can also lead to fetal arrest because they prevent the embryo from developing normally.

3. If a pregnant woman is infected with a virus, comes into contact with toxic chemicals, or is subjected to strong stimulation during pregnancy, it may cause fetal growth retardation.

4. Diseases in either spouse may also lead to fetal growth retardation, such as: pregnant women suffering from diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc., and men having sperm abnormalities. There are many reasons that can cause fetal growth retardation, and the ones introduced above are the most common ones. Before a woman has a child, it is better for both husband and wife to have a comprehensive check-up to be on the safe side.
