How to tell if the fetus is alive at 9 weeks of pregnancy

After 9 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women will become worried, always worrying about abnormal behavior of the fetus in their belly, and even losing their appetite. They will also worry about whether the fetus is still alive. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about these problems. As long as the fetal indexes are normal during the prenatal check-up, it reflects that the overall condition of the fetus is relatively healthy. Therefore, the most important thing for pregnant women is to take care of their emotions.

1. Keep a peaceful mind

The long-term mental health of the fetus is closely related to the strong disaster stress that the mother suffers before and after pregnancy and the harsh living environment after the earthquake. Therefore, for the health of the fetus, pregnant women should try to stay calm and try to treat natural disasters with a peaceful attitude. Doctors and family members should also provide more psychological counseling to pregnant women.

2. Prevent miscarriage and premature birth

Due to the strong stimulation of the disaster, it is easy to cause miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, if a pregnant woman has vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge, she should contact medical staff immediately.

3. Pay attention to food hygiene

Diarrhea can affect fetal development and even lead to miscarriage and premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women should pay special attention to food hygiene, prevent diarrhea, do not drink raw water, wash hands with soap and running water before meals and after defecation, do not eat rotten or spoiled food, do not eat dead poultry and livestock, do not use dirty water to rinse your mouth or wash fruits and vegetables, and boil bowls and chopsticks or disinfect them with disinfectant. If diarrhea occurs, saline solution should be supplemented and treatment should be given promptly.

4. Be alert to critical illness

If you experience edema in both lower limbs, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, palpitations, shortness of breath, vaginal bleeding, or a sudden increase, decrease, or disappearance of fetal movement, you should contact your doctor immediately.

5. Improve nutrition

Nutritional status throughout pregnancy directly affects the normal development of the fetus. Pregnant women who have experienced severe earthquake disaster stress should pay more attention to balanced nutritional intake.

6. Take breaks

Pregnant women should be provided with a quiet rest environment, ensure sufficient sleep time, and sleep in the left side position. For those who really have difficulty falling asleep, oral sedatives can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

7. Stay calm during labor

Pregnant women who are about to give birth should remain calm and go to the hospital or contact a doctor in time for delivery. While waiting for delivery, you should avoid panicking, avoid breathing hard, try to reduce walking, lie down or on your side in the most comfortable position, and try to relax.
