What to do if embryonic arrest occurs? Treatment of fetal growth retardation

Embryonic arrest refers to the phenomenon that the embryo cannot develop normally in the early stages of pregnancy. However, embryonic arrest does not prove that the fetus must be aborted. At this time, you need to choose a series of treatment methods under the examination or guidance of a doctor.

1. Preserve the fetus

Embryonic arrest is mostly related to the pregnant woman's own condition, such as liver and kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency and blood deficiency, liver depression and qi stagnation, damp-heat inflammation, etc. in traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to seek treatment from a Chinese medicine practitioner and use Chinese medicine for conditioning. This is also the method of Chinese medicine used by many expectant mothers to preserve the fetus. However, not all cases of embryonic arrest can be treated with methods of preserving pregnancy. Gynecologists recommend not preserving the fetus unless a healthy embryo is seen, believing that this is natural selection and is a good thing. Whether to preserve the fetus depends on the individual situation of the expectant mother. If it is the first pregnancy, the best way to preserve the fetus is to rest in bed. For habitual miscarriage caused by maternal factors, bed rest alone is not enough, and a method to preserve the fetus should be chosen. And it should be protected from the beginning, before threatened miscarriage occurs.

2. The importance of bed rest

Bed rest is absolutely important and necessary in preserving the fetus. It is best to lie flat except for eating and going to the toilet. At the same time, you should not reach for anything, no matter how high, low or far away, and you should not pick up heavy objects.

3. Go to hospital for treatment if necessary

If the expectant mother continues to bleed (including brown discharge) or has not started to protect the fetus, she should go to the hospital immediately. If you have already started to preserve the fetus, but the situation is unstable, as long as there is no continuous bright red bleeding greater than the menstrual amount and no regular uterine contractions, you just need to relax your mind, lie still and listen to music. The more rest you get, the more helpful it will be to preserve the fetus. After three months, the placenta becomes strong and the baby is healthy.

4. If the fetus is stillborn, abortion treatment should be considered to terminate the pregnancy.
