What are the symptoms of hypoxia in early pregnancy

Because some of the physical constitutions of pregnant women are very special, they must pay great attention to their bodies during pregnancy, because the body is not only fragile, but also related to the health of the baby in the body. Therefore, when many women are pregnant, their bodies will show some abnormal or strange symptoms. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of hypoxia in early pregnancy.

1. Is it normal to feel hypoxia in early pregnancy?

In daily life, expectant mothers can also monitor fetal movements to preliminarily determine the fetal oxygen supply. "There are many reasons that cause fetal hypoxia. If pregnant women find that the fetal movement is abnormal, they should go to the hospital for examination in time."

Fetal movement can provide a preliminary judgement on whether the fetus is suffering from hypoxia. As a pregnant mother, you are very sensitive to fetal movement. You can monitor fetal movement by yourself at home. If you find any abnormal fetal movement, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. If abnormal fetal movement is found, but the pregnant woman receives comfort oxygen at home, the various causes of fetal intrauterine distress are not resolved, delaying the treatment, which is very dangerous.

As the air quality in cities declines, pregnant women should try to avoid going to public places if they want to breathe fresh air. If conditions permit, they can go to parks or exercise outdoors where the air is clear. Breathing oxygen in fresh air is not only beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant women, but also has a good effect on the normal development of the fetus.

Oxygen inhalation can increase the blood oxygen content of pregnant women, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the fetal blood. After 34 weeks, pregnant women can go to the hospital for fetal heart monitoring. If the fetal heart rate is found to be too fast, that is, more than 160 beats/minute or too slow, less than 120 beats/minute, oxygen inhalation can be used under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate the fetal hypoxia. In addition, expectant mothers with anemia or poor cardiopulmonary function can also receive auxiliary treatment through oxygen inhalation, but the time of oxygen inhalation is strictly controlled, generally about half an hour each time, and lasting up to one week.

2. Symptoms of hypoxia in pregnant women

Fetal hypoxia is the main cause of stillbirth, neonatal illness or death, and mental retardation in children. Although there are many modern instruments and equipment that can monitor fetal hypoxia, it is difficult for pregnant women to receive medical monitoring at all times.

During pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body undergoes a series of changes and her oxygen demand is about twice that of an ordinary person. Tests have shown that every pregnant woman suffers from hypoxia to varying degrees. Timely and regular oxygen supplementation can not only prevent various symptoms of hypoxia, but also help to keep the fetus safe and protect the fetus, and effectively improve the baby's IQ and developmental ability.

The initial symptoms are frequent fetal movements, which then become weaker and less frequent, and then disappear. Weakened fetal movement is an important indicator of fetal distress, and daily monitoring of fetal movement can predict the safety of the fetus.

Detection method: When near full term, the fetal movement is >10 times every 12 hours. The calculation method is that the pregnant woman herself detects the number of fetal movements for 1 hour in the morning, noon and evening. The sum of the 3 fetal movements is multiplied by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. Both frequent and infrequent fetal movements are manifestations of hypoxia.
