What are the signs of fetal growth retardation?

It is a happy thing for women to be pregnant, but special attention should be paid to care during pregnancy. Many women have weak physical constitutions and are prone to illness, which have a great impact on pregnancy. More women are worried about fetal growth retardation during pregnancy. Generally, fetal growth retardation can cause great harm to both women and fetuses. There are symptoms when the fetus stops growing, so you should pay attention to any physical abnormalities. So what are the signs of fetal growth retardation?

1. Abdominal pain

Symptoms of fetal growth retardation also include unexplained abdominal pain. During pregnancy, pregnant women may feel mild abdominal pain at certain stages, which is generally normal. But if the abdominal pain is sudden and crampy, it needs to be taken seriously. In early pregnancy, severe lower abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding may be a warning sign of ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage.

2. Chromosomal abnormalities

Symptoms of fetal growth retardation may also be chromosomal abnormalities. If the chromosomes are abnormal, it will cause the embryo to not develop and lead to early miscarriage. Chromosome abnormalities include quantitative and structural abnormalities. Quantitative abnormalities can be divided into aneuploidy and polyploidy. The most common abnormal karyotype is triploidy, and trisomy 16 accounts for 1/3, which is often lethal.

3. Others

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.
