What to do if the embryo stops developing in early pregnancy

For women, there will be some relatively strong pregnancy reactions when they just become pregnant, which means that the fetus is gradually developing. However, if some pregnancy reactions suddenly disappear, and the nausea and vomiting no longer occur, this phenomenon may be caused by fetal arrest. If the fetus stops developing and no longer develops, the only option is abortion. In this case, you should check in time, relax your mentality, and especially find the specific cause to avoid problems when you get pregnant again.

What to do if the embryo stops developing in early pregnancy

1. Psychological relaxation : Women who are preparing to become pregnant should not worry too much about it, whether they or their friends have experienced fetal growth retardation. Tension and stress can lead to endocrine imbalance in the body, which is also detrimental to the healthy development of the embryo and fetus.

2. Pre-pregnancy preparation : Female friends should have an appropriate preparation period, pay attention to a balanced diet, regular life, physical exercise, pre-pregnancy check-ups, etc., and actively participate in health classes specially prepared for expectant mothers at the Women and Children's Hospital, communicate more with doctors, and fully understand various pregnancy knowledge before, during and after pregnancy.

3. Check at the right time : Generally, the embryo will have a fetal heartbeat at around 8 weeks, and fetal growth retardation may occur at 8-12 weeks. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women do an ultrasound at around 8 weeks to check the development of the fetus and placenta as early as possible. If the fetal heartbeat is present, you can generally rest assured.

4. Abortion treatment : When a pregnant mother is unfortunately diagnosed with fetal growth retardation, don’t panic. Usually, she needs to have an abortion under the guidance of a doctor. Fetal growth retardation is different from early pregnancy. It is not easy to completely expel it by medical abortion. If it remains in the uterus for a long time, it will cause intrauterine infection, damage the endometrium, and then cause fallopian tube occlusion, leading to infertility. Painless abortion is not recommended because the patient loses consciousness during the operation and will not know if the uterus is scraped.

5. Get pregnant again after half a year : From the perspective of eugenics, women who have experienced fetal growth retardation should wait at least half a year before getting pregnant again, because it takes at least two or three months for the ovarian function to recover, and at least half a year for the endometrium to recover.

6. After fetal growth retardation, you must check the cause of the gender of the baby and never put all your hopes on preserving the fetus. If the problem is with embryo quality, preserving the pregnancy will not change the embryo quality. Only when there is a problem with your own hormone secretion, it is scientific and reasonable to use medication to preserve the pregnancy.

prevention

1. Chromosome abnormality. Before pregnancy, prenatal examinations and medical diagnosis are required. If there is a family history of genetic disease, you may consider not getting pregnant or taking effective care measures.

2. Quit harmful substances. If you work in a related industry, you can transfer to other departments a few months before conception. For family rooms that have just been renovated, it is recommended not to move in too early and only move in after it has passed the inspection. Choose clean and uncontaminated food.

3. Radioactive rays. Avoid X-ray examinations before pregnancy. When the microwave oven is operating, you should keep a certain distance from it, about one meter or more. Do not carry your mobile phone with you for a long time. Use it only when necessary.

4. Influence of drugs. If you don't plan to get pregnant, you should take contraceptive measures. When preparing for pregnancy, if you experience symptoms, you should first confirm whether you are pregnant. If so, you should take medication with caution. It is best to consult a doctor and choose a medication that is beneficial to your condition and has no effect on the fetus.

5. Smoking and drinking. Both husband and wife should quit smoking and drinking in the period before childbirth and during pregnancy to avoid the effects of tobacco and alcohol on the fetus in the womb.

6. Infected with viruses. For rubella, pregnant women should be vaccinated against rubella in advance. During the first three months of pregnancy, avoid staying in public places for too long and do appropriate physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness and self-satisfaction. Maintain a balanced nutrition.

7. Chronic serious diseases. Drugs used to treat chronic diseases can have a great impact on the fetus. If the patient wants to become pregnant, she should stop taking the drugs for a period of time, and pregnancy is only suitable when her condition is stable.

8. Abnormal immune system. Women with immune system disorders should wait until they have fully recovered before becoming pregnant. In life, you also need to exercise more, maintain a balanced nutrition and enhance immunity.
