Will the fetus stop growing at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

The 12th week of pregnancy has reached the final stage of early pregnancy. At this time, pregnant women will find that their physical condition will gradually stabilize. When you are 12 weeks pregnant, you don’t have to be as cautious as in the early stages of pregnancy, because the baby has gradually taken shape in the mother’s belly, and the chance of fetal arrest will be greatly reduced. But for pregnant women who are 12 weeks pregnant, will fetal arrest still occur?

Will the fetus stop growing at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

There is a possibility of fetal arrest during pregnancy, and you need to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. Pay attention to your lifestyle habits and avoid eating foods that are prohibited during pregnancy, spicy, irritating, or raw or cold foods.

1. The number of fetal movements is significantly reduced. Generally speaking, the fetus will move in the mother's body at a certain period of time. Relatively speaking, the frequency of fetal movement is relatively stable. Fetal movement is the most objective manifestation of a living organism.

2. Determine whether the fetus has stopped growing by checking whether the amniotic fluid is normal. Amniotic fluid is very important for babies. It is an important substance for babies to survive. If a mother finds that the amount of amniotic fluid is abnormal, whether it is too much or too little, it should attract our attention.

3. Sudden onset of unexplained abdominal pain is also a symptom. When a woman is pregnant, changes in her body may cause certain pains. If it is just mild abdominal pain, this is normal pain and mothers do not need to be nervous. If the abdominal pain suddenly occurs and is very painful, and there are cramps, this must be taken seriously. It is possible that miscarriage or fetal arrest has occurred.

4. If the fetus stops growing, all pregnancy reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and breast tenderness will stop.

2. What should mothers do when their babies encounter fetal growth retardation?

Pay attention to the signs before fetal growth retardation: a small amount of bleeding (mostly brown), abdominal pain, a continuous drop in basal body temperature within a few days (generally around 37 degrees in the first three months of pregnancy), and the sudden disappearance or weakening of early pregnancy reactions such as vomiting and frequent urination. Pay attention if you experience the above symptoms! B-ultrasound is the best way to diagnose fetal arrest.

Understand the main causes of embryonic arrest: first, reproductive endocrine issues (including corpus luteum insufficiency and polycystic ovary); second, reproductive immunity issues; third, uterine problems; fourth, chromosomal problems; sperm quality directly affects fetal health.

See a Chinese medicine doctor: You should see a Chinese medicine doctor after fetal arrest or miscarriage. The previous abortion surgery may cause the Tingmin and Min meridians to be blocked, resulting in blood not being able to nourish the fetus. I started taking Chinese medicine to protect the fetus from the 28th day of pregnancy, and took Yunkang or Baoling Yunbao for more than a month after I found out I was pregnant.

Psychological adjustment is very important: before pregnancy, adjust your mentality, exercise more, listen to music, and cultivate an optimistic spirit; the more detailed the pre-pregnancy examination, the better. If you find any problems, don't be blindly pessimistic and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment.

Please note the following during the 3 months before pregnancy after fetal demise: Do not eat out, only eat home-cooked meals; drink plain water, do not consume beverages or cold drinks; do not soak in hot springs.

A comprehensive pre-pregnancy check-up is very important: if there is a fetal growth retardation, a comprehensive check-up should be done, with antibody testing at the end, focusing on corpus luteum function, TORCH, and kidney and spleen function, and changing unhealthy lifestyles. The focus of the examination should be on sperm and eggs. Usually, empty cysts are caused by poor sperm quality and strong radiation exposure of the fertilized eggs.
