How can late pregnancy lead to stillbirth

  Many pregnant women may mistakenly believe that fetal cessation or stillbirth only occurs in the early or middle stages of pregnancy, but stillbirth can also occur in the late stages of pregnancy. So, how does it usually lead to stillbirth in late pregnancy?

  

How can late pregnancy lead to stillbirth1

  1. Sexual activity. Sexual activity is not allowed in early pregnancy, and it is also not allowed in late pregnancy. If couples still engage in frequent sexual activity during late pregnancy, it is likely to lead to stillbirth. Because during sexual activity, the uterus of pregnant women is prone to contraction due to excitement or stimulation, and at this time, the fetus may experience hypoxia in the uterus. If the hypoxia lasts too long, the fetus may suffocate and die.

  2. External factors lead to stillbirth. Everything has internal and external factors, and the occurrence of stillbirth is naturally the same. External factors can also be summarized as the effect of external forces. Pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy already have a large belly, which makes it difficult for them to move around. If they accidentally encounter some large external impacts during travel or daily life, it may also harm the baby in the abdomen, and even cause fetal death.

  Therefore, pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy still need to keep a daily record of their fetal movements. If they find frequent fetal movements or suddenly no fetal movements, it is best to go to the hospital immediately to check if there are any problems with the fetus.
