Pregnant women work very hard during the pregnancy process and have to endure various discomforts caused by pregnancy. For example, some pregnant women may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest tightness, and in order to alleviate discomfort, they may resort to oxygen therapy. But while taking oxygen, I am also very concerned about the health of the fetus. Does oxygen therapy for pregnant women have any impact on the fetus?
If pregnant women feel unwell and have difficulty breathing, they can be relieved with oxygen therapy. Timely oxygen inhalation can alleviate the discomfort symptoms of pregnant women without affecting the health of the fetus, so pregnant women can safely take oxygen inhalation. However, oxygen inhalation should be controlled properly. It is not recommended to inhale oxygen when the body is in a normal state. Long term oxygen inhalation can lead to weakened respiratory function in pregnant women, which is not conducive to physical health.
Most pregnant women only need oxygen therapy in the late stages of pregnancy because the pregnant belly is relatively large, which can compress the diaphragm and cause symptoms of breathing difficulties. If oxygen is not given in a timely manner, it may cause danger to the fetus in the uterine cavity. Therefore, providing oxygen therapy when necessary is beneficial for the fetus, and pregnant women need not worry about it.
Some pregnant women may also experience chest tightness and shortness of breath in the early stages of pregnancy. If they feel difficulty breathing, they can also take oxygen therapy appropriately. After taking oxygen, they will feel much better in physical condition. However, during the process of oxygen inhalation, it is necessary to ensure that the method is correct. Improper oxygen inhalation methods cannot achieve the desired effect. It is recommended that pregnant women go to the hospital for oxygen inhalation.
