In the late stage of pregnancy, one of the common situations encountered during prenatal check ups is a high SD value. Pregnant women with high SD values may experience problems such as fetal hypoxia and even damage to the fetal brain. So, if there is a high SD value, is oxygen therapy effective? Let's learn about it together.
During pregnancy, there are many reasons for high SD values, including the following common ones: firstly, congenital abnormalities in the fetus. If the fetus has severe developmental abnormalities, the longer the pregnancy, the more obvious the abnormal situation becomes, and high SD values are also a common symptom; The second is placental aging. If the placental aging is severe, its ability to carry oxygen will decrease, which can easily lead to high SD values; The third is caused by umbilical cord problems such as knotting and wrapping around the neck.
If there is a high SD value, oxygen therapy for postpartum women can alleviate the symptoms. However, it is recommended that pregnant women undergo further examinations in a timely manner to identify the causes of high SD values.
In addition, if the problem of high SD values cannot be resolved in a timely manner, it is quite dangerous for both the fetus and the pregnant woman, so a cesarean section should be performed in a timely manner. Of course, if the SD value is not too high and is within the allowable range, pregnant women do not need to worry too much. They should pay attention to strengthening nutrition and closely monitor physical changes.
