After pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to their own health, as the health of the body is closely related to the health of the fetus. If pregnant women lack oxygen, it can affect the fetus, and in severe cases, even lead to fetal death in the uterus. So, in such a situation, pregnant women should take measures early. So, how should pregnant women deal with hypoxia at home?
1. Perform intermittent oxygen therapy. In the late stages of pregnancy, due to fetal enlargement, the pregnant woman's lungs are compressed, which can affect breathing and occasionally cause hypoxia and shortness of breath. Pregnant women can ask their families to prepare oxygen cylinders or bags for emergencies. Then, during hypoxia, pregnant women receive intermittent oxygen therapy at home to alleviate discomfort. When the oxygen content in the blood increases, pregnant women will not feel uncomfortable.
2. Lie flat and rest. Pregnant women suffer from hypoxia. In order to maintain smooth breathing, it is best for pregnant women to lie down and rest for a period of time, and be careful not to overwork themselves at this time. Even if there are unfinished household chores, they should be temporarily put aside and rest well.
3. Open the window for ventilation. Pregnant women may experience hypoxia due to poor air circulation at home, resulting in excessive carbon dioxide and insufficient oxygen. At this time, asking family members to open windows for ventilation and improve the air quality in the room can help alleviate symptoms.
4. Regulate the body. In order to avoid the recurrence of hypoxia, pregnant women should regulate their bodies and enhance their physical fitness. For example, they can go for walks with their husbands, increase exercise, and thus increase lung capacity.
