What are the symptoms of fetal arrest?

Many women will experience prominent early pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, which is three months before they get pregnant, due to increased hormone secretion, including sleepiness, fear of cold, nausea, vomiting, and breast milk. However, if these reactions suddenly ease or disappear in the early stages of pregnancy, you should pay attention to them, because this may be caused by fetal growth retardation. Today, we will focus on introducing the symptoms of fetal growth retardation in early pregnancy for your reference:

1. Vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding occurs when fetal growth retardation occurs during early pregnancy. This is also an important symptom of fetal growth retardation. It is mainly caused by the uterus expelling the fetus that has stopped growing from the uterine cavity according to the natural replacement law. It is mainly manifested by dark red blood discharge from the female vagina. Experts say: Most pregnant women can expel the fetus on their own after fetal arrest, but some pregnant women have not expelled the fetus even after 4 weeks of fetal arrest. They may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, general fatigue, internal bleeding, etc., which need to be taken seriously.

2. Distension and pain in the lower abdomen. If fetal growth retardation occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, it may cause mild pain in the lower abdomen, which is also a common symptom of threatened abortion, often accompanied by vaginal bleeding.

3. Early pregnancy reactions subside. Because the high-quality endocrine substances will gradually decrease after fetal growth retching, the early pregnancy reaction will gradually subside, and pregnant women will not have symptoms such as nausea, retching, and loss of appetite. Breast pain, tingling, and itching will gradually ease and eventually disappear, and the enlarged breasts will continue to slowly return to their original size.

In addition, experts remind everyone that the symptoms of fetal arrest in early pregnancy vary from person to person. Some pregnant women may not even show any symptoms, but when examined, it is shown that the fetus has already stopped growing. Therefore, regular check-ups are an important way to understand the physical condition of the fetus and deal with fetal arrest in a timely manner.

The above are the symptoms of fetal arrest in early pregnancy that I introduced to you today. I hope you will pay attention to them after reading them. Experts point out that there are many factors that cause fetal growth retardation in early pregnancy, including endocrine insufficiency, poor physical condition, etc. Women who experienced fetal growth retardation in the previous pregnancy should pay more attention and take timely health care measures when preparing for pregnancy and during pregnancy.
