Uterine contractions are a phenomenon experienced by every pregnant woman, and they are also included in prenatal examinations. By examining the uterine contractions of pregnant women, one can also understand the fetal heart rate at this time. The frequency of uterine contractions can have some impact on the fetal heart rate, so what is the reason for the decrease in uterine contraction heart rate?
Uterine contractions are the phenomenon of muscle contractions in the uterus of pregnant women. When pregnant women experience uterine contractions, their blood vessels also contract, causing temporary ischemia of the uterus. In this case, the fetal heart rate will decrease, but pregnant women do not need to worry too much as this situation will quickly recover. As long as the contractions stop, this phenomenon will return to normal.
However, if a pregnant woman experiences severe uterine contractions during pregnancy and the fetal heart rate continues to decrease without relief, then the pregnant woman needs to be aware that uterine contractions can cause prolonged ischemia of the uterus and a continuous decrease in fetal heart rate, which may lead to hypoxia in the baby and affect their intellectual development and life safety. If a pregnant woman experiences uterine contractions before the due date and the fetal heart rate keeps decreasing, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to avoid the danger of severe fetal hypoxia.
Pregnant women should not be too nervous during pregnancy. Some pregnancy reactions are normal. When there are no other abnormalities in early pregnancy reactions, there is no need to worry too much. Always maintain a good state of mind, be happy, and wait for delivery.
