Causes of fetal death in the womb

  Pregnancy is undoubtedly a very happy thing for any couple or family, but it does not mean that the baby can come into this world healthy. Sometimes, there may be situations where the baby dies in the womb. Today, we will talk about the causes of fetal death in the womb.

  

Causes of fetal death in the womb1

  1. Pregnant women with hypertension, whether it occurs during the preconception period or after pregnancy, may encounter obstacles in the transmission of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, which may lead to fetal death due to hypoxia or malnutrition.

  2. Due to external factors, pregnant women's abdomen is impacted, leading to placental abruption, which is also the main cause of fetal death.

  3. If the amniotic fluid ruptures in early pregnancy, it is easy to cause infection in the uterus, which can seriously lead to fetal death.

  4. If pregnant women experience symptoms such as anemia during pregnancy, it is highly likely to cause stillbirth.

  After the fetus dies in the uterus of a pregnant woman, there will be a series of symptoms, and typical symptoms include:

  1. Normally, the uterus of a pregnant woman will continue to grow, but if the baby dies in the womb, the uterus of the pregnant woman will stop growing.

  2. A normally growing fetus will have "fetal movement". But if the fetus dies in utero, fetal movement will stop and naturally the fetal heart rate cannot be heard.

  3. After fetal death, pregnant women may also experience discomfort, such as poor diet, physical fatigue, and abdominal pain.
