Pregnant women are tired every day, and no matter what they do, they must consider the safety of the fetus. If the pregnant woman is not careful, it may lead to fetal hypoxia. Once the fetus experiences symptoms of hypoxia, it can easily lead to fetal arrest. However, fetal arrest has a process, so how long does it take for the fetus to experience hypoxia until fetal arrest?
It is uncertain how long it will take for the fetus to stop after experiencing hypoxia, which is related to the degree of hypoxia in the fetus and the physical condition of the pregnant woman. This is a complex issue and there is no approximate time standard. But what can be certain is that once a pregnant woman experiences hypoxia, it can be very dangerous. At this time, it is necessary to seek medical examination in a timely manner. Delaying for another moment will increase the risk to the fetus.
After experiencing hypoxia in the fetus, there may be some abnormal symptoms, the most typical of which is increased fetal movement. When the fetus does not have enough oxygen available in the uterine cavity, it will experience increased fetal movement and restlessness. As the degree of hypoxia gradually worsens, the fetal movement will gradually decrease until it stops, which means fetal arrest has occurred.
Fetal arrest is a very dangerous thing, pregnant women should urgently rush to the hospital and not waste time at home. Especially after experiencing bleeding and abdominal pain symptoms, it is necessary to rush to the hospital for treatment. If the dead embryo exists in the uterine cavity for a long time, it is also prone to uterine infection.
