During pregnancy, various physical conditions that occur in women will be taken seriously by their families. Sometimes, due to some reasons, abnormal fetal movement can cause delayed fetal development. After examination, the doctor said that it is caused by fetal hypoxia. But many people are not very familiar with the causes of fetal hypoxia. Let's take a look at the main reasons for fetal hypoxia?
The umbilical cord wraps around a certain part of the body, such as the neck, hands, feet, etc., or some fetuses may grasp and pinch the umbilical cord themselves, causing hypoxia. Oligohydramnios, anemia in the mother, and poor heart function can also cause fetal hypoxia. Improper sleeping posture and poor mood during the late stage of pregnancy can also cause hypoxia in the baby. Therefore, pregnant women should maintain a good mood and pay attention to prenatal check ups to timely understand the baby's development.
To understand whether the fetus is hypoxic, pregnant women can feel it through the movements of the fetus. Under hypoxic conditions, the fetus's movements may be too frequent and restless. In many cases, due to the unstable emotions of pregnant women and excessive fetal movement, hypoxia occurs. Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of fetal hypoxia symptoms, it is recommended that pregnant women maintain a good mentality.
To prevent fetal hypoxia, pregnant women should choose to sleep on their side, so as not to cause stress to the child. For the healthy development of the fetus, pregnant women can often go out and walk, which can ensure a good mood. When encountering problems, they must remain calm, not too excited, and maintain a stable mentality.
Finally, be careful not to always be in an environment with poor air flow, as pregnant women may feel oxygen deficient themselves, and the fetus may also experience oxygen deficiency. Excessive or insufficient amniotic fluid can lead to fetal hypoxia, with a higher likelihood of hypoxia in late pregnancy. Fetal heart rate needs to be monitored to determine if the baby is experiencing hypoxia.
