Successful fetal preservation with delayed embryonic development

Whether the fetal development retardation can be successfully preserved depends on the specific situation. Everyone's physical condition is different, but it is best not to force the preservation of the fetus. Let nature take its course. If the fetus is forced to be preserved, the quality of the baby's embryo itself may not be good. Even if the fetus is successfully preserved, it may still cause premature birth or miscarriage. The cause of fetal development retardation needs to be found out in time, and then actively treated.

What to do if embryonic development is delayed

1. Many pregnant women are prone to delayed fetal development due to age, physical condition and other reasons. These high-risk pregnant women should undergo various examinations as early as possible to promptly detect factors that may cause fetal growth retardation so that they can be prepared for treatment.

2. When fetal development retardation occurs, pregnant women should actively look for the cause and eliminate all factors that may cause fetal development retardation, such as smoking, insufficient nutrition intake and picky eating, and consume more protein-rich foods in the diet.

3. Actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and monitor the fetus regularly, such as fetal heart monitoring and ultrasound. In addition, you should lie on your left side more often to increase blood circulation in the uterus.

What causes fetal growth retardation?

1. Fetal weight is closely related to the pregnant woman's weight, age and parity before pregnancy. If a woman is underweight before pregnancy, she increases the chances of having a growth retardation in her fetus.

2. If women are malnourished during pregnancy, especially if they do not take in enough protein and energy, they will suffer from hypoxemia and weakened oxygen transport capacity. They are likely to develop kidney disease, anemia, heart disease, and gestational hypertension during pregnancy, all of which will affect the fetus, causing it to have insufficient nutrition, and then develop immune diseases, endocrine diseases, and infectious diseases, ultimately leading to fetal growth retardation.

3. If the pregnant woman smokes, drinks alcohol, or abuses drugs, the fetus may also develop slowly. In addition, when the fetus is infected with viruses such as rubella and herpes simplex, fetal growth retardation may also occur.

Is fetal growth retardation really a malformation?

1. Fetal growth retardation means that the development of the fetus lags behind the normal level. This is not the same concept as fetal malformation and cannot be equated. However, there is a chance that fetal growth retardation will cause fetal malformations.

2. In the pre-pregnancy B-ultrasound examination, a fetus with developmental delay will be significantly smaller than a normal fetus. If the fetus has no other problems and is born full-term, there will be no abnormalities in the fetus' physical condition and intelligence.

3. Whether the fetus has deformities can be detected during pregnancy examinations, and there are now many eugenics testing programs that can detect fetal deformities in advance. If after all the examinations the fetus is fine, the pregnant woman does not need to worry.
