Does the reduction of morning sickness mean that the fetus has stopped growing?

Fetal arrest means that the fetus stops developing, followed by spontaneous abortion. I believe that all families do not want this to happen. There are many reasons that lead to fetal arrest. Endocrine disorders, uterine abnormalities, and chromosomal problems can all induce this condition. Abnormal symptoms need to be discovered and responded to in a timely manner. So, does the reduction of morning sickness mean that the fetus has stopped growing? Let’s take a look below.

Vomiting is a common reaction in early pregnancy. Most pregnant women will experience the pain of morning sickness, but for a small number of pregnant women, the morning sickness is relatively mild and they just feel nauseous and uncomfortable. Morning sickness usually starts from the fifth or sixth week after pregnancy, and most cases end three months after pregnancy. Therefore, the reaction of morning sickness gradually decreases from severe to mild, and the reduction of morning sickness does not mean that the fetus has stopped developing. Whether the fetus has stopped developing requires medical examination to determine. Although morning sickness is very painful, it is a normal reaction to pregnancy. Pregnant mothers should not worry too much. If the morning sickness is too severe, you need to seek help from a doctor.

Although vomiting during pregnancy is a normal pregnancy reaction, for the sake of the health of the pregnant mother herself and the baby, it is very necessary to relieve morning sickness appropriately. First of all, the pregnant mother needs to relax her body and mind, relieve the negative emotions of tension and anxiety, pay attention to rest, and ensure sleep, which is also very helpful in relieving morning sickness. Pregnant mothers need to choose light and easily digestible foods, eat small meals frequently, and change the food frequently to promote appetite. You can also take vitamins B1 and B6, which are helpful in relieving morning sickness, or hold ginger slices in your mouth, which can also relieve vomiting.

If fetal arrest occurs, the mother's body will undergo a series of changes to facilitate its expulsion. First, the levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease, the body produces an immune rejection effect on the embryo, and blood vessels between the mother and the embryo form blood clots and break off, which may cause vaginal bleeding in the process. We call the bleeding at this time threatened abortion, which is a signal that the embryo is about to be expelled from the body. This needs to be differentiated from vaginal bleeding during normal embryonic development. If local blood vessels rupture during normal embryonic development, vaginal bleeding may occur. This bleeding will not cause the embryo to be expelled from the body, so it cannot be called threatened abortion.

There will be brief lower abdominal pain during the expulsion of the embryo. Early pregnancy reactions may be alleviated after embryonic arrest, but early pregnancy reactions themselves vary from individual to individual, so early pregnancy reactions cannot be used to judge the development of the embryo. Most pregnant women have no obvious symptoms after the fetus stops developing, and a clear diagnosis is required through hormone testing combined with early pregnancy ultrasound testing.

Morning sickness is a normal reaction during pregnancy and generally does not require treatment. Morning sickness generally does not last for a long time. For half of pregnant women, the symptoms of morning sickness disappear by the 14th week of pregnancy. Of course, some pregnant women will have morning sickness for a longer time. When morning sickness ends depends on the pregnant mother's personal constitution. Morning sickness is a necessary process for pregnant women, so pregnant mothers do not need to worry about morning sickness affecting the health of the fetus.
