Correct posture diagram for pregnant women to breathe oxygen

During pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will compress the heart and lungs for a long time. In addition, the baby's growth will be compressed in the chest for a long time. As the pregnancy time gradually increases, the pregnant woman's body will suffer from oxygen deficiency. The adverse effects of oxygen deficiency are quite large, and it is likely to cause breathing difficulties, heart and lung failure, insufficient blood supply, and poor placental function. Pregnant women can use oxygen supply to help alleviate these adverse effects.

However, pregnant women should not abuse oxygen at will. They must follow a reliable method and the time of oxygen supply should not exceed 15 minutes. They should be judged based on their physical condition and follow the doctor's instructions as much as possible. They do not need to decide on their own whether oxygen supply is necessary.

Common problems with oxygen administration during pregnancy

1. First of all, long-term and unnecessary oxygen supply may cause excessive blood oxygen concentration in pregnant women, causing chaos in the human body environment.

2. Secondly, the high blood oxygen concentration in pregnant women will stimulate the blood vessels of the fetus through the embryo. In particular, the macular blood vessels in the fetus are extremely sensitive to high concentrations of oxygen, which may cause damage to the epidermis and blockage of the macular blood vessels, leading to fundus lesions, glaucoma and other problems.

3. It is obvious that for the health of yourself and your fetus, you must listen to your doctor's advice on whether oxygen is needed during pregnancy. If the examination finds that the pregnant woman has heart disease, insufficient blood supply and oxygen production, poor placental function, or the fetus has problems such as intrauterine language development retardation, bradycardia, respiratory distress, etc., oxygen therapy can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. If you just want to let yourself and your baby breathe more fresh air, pregnant women might as well take half an hour every day to relax in green parks or squares and take a deep breath.

4. Even if oxygen is really needed during pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for oxygen treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Because the flow rate, concentration, time, etc. of oxygen are slightly different for different patients. If you give yourself oxygen at home and don't control the blood oxygen content and flow rate well, it will easily affect your health. In addition, oxygen therapy is divided into stages. Once the problems such as insufficient blood supply to the pregnant woman and delayed intrauterine language development of the fetus are alleviated, the oxygen therapy should be stopped. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to physical and mental health.

Can pregnant women receive oxygen?

Oxygen infusion is a service method used to treat a variety of diseases. It can correct oxygen deficiency, promote metabolism, and increase arteriovenous oxygen tension and oxygen saturation levels. For example, patients with respiratory failure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or coronary heart disease can receive oxygen. In addition, oxygen can be given to patients undergoing surgery, patients suffering from internal hemorrhage shock, pregnant women with poor fetal heart rate or who are in long labor. In addition, regular oxygen supply during pregnancy can increase the blood oxygen of pregnant women, which is conducive to improving the body function state of pregnant women and is beneficial to the development of the fetus.
