Of course, whether the specific fetus is hypoxic can be judged according to fetal movement. When fetal movement is abnormal, such as frequent fetal movement, it may be the performance of fetal hypoxia. Therefore, if expectant mothers are breathless, they should always pay attention to fetal movement, and once there is abnormality, they should see a doctor in time.
After four months of pregnancy, with the growth and development of the fetus, the uterus gradually increases, and the condition of breathlessness occasionally occurs, and the degree of reaction varies from person to person, so expectant mothers don't have to worry too much, but if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and find out the reasons, so as not to delay the illness and affect the health of pregnant women and the fetus.
What should I do if I can't breathe in the third trimester
1, take a deep breath
When pregnant women have chest tightness and shortness of breath, they can try to take a deep breath and inhale a lot of oxygen for various organs at once, which is very effective in relieving chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Specific practice: when inhaling deeply, first inflate the abdomen, then inflate the chest. After reaching the limit, hold your breath for a few seconds and gradually exhale the gas. When exhaling, contract the chest first, then the abdomen, and try to expel the gas in the lungs. Inhale and exhale repeatedly for 3-5 minutes each time.
2, adjust the position
If the expectant mother feels chest tightness and shortness of breath when standing or sitting, she should immediately keep her upper body straight and spread her shoulders back. This will expand the lungs as much as possible and help breathe in more oxygen. If you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when sleeping at night, it is recommended to sleep on the left side or use a pillow to raise your head, which can alleviate the asthma and chest tightness.
Step 3: Touch your chest.
Stroking the expectant mother's chest can help her breathe more smoothly and is also very effective in relieving chest tightness and shortness of breath. At this time, if you can have another cup of warm water, the effect will be better. Because shortness of breath often opens the mouth to breathe air, the tracheal mucosa is easy to dry. Drinking warm boiled water or letting pregnant women inhale hot steam from boiled water can moisten the airway mucosa and help breathing.
4. Oxygen inhalation
If the expectant mother often suffers from chest tightness and shortness of breath, and every time the symptoms are very serious, it is suggested that it is best to prepare an oxygen machine at home, increase oxygen inhalation during the attack, and go to the hospital for oxygen inhalation if necessary.
5. Pay attention to a balanced diet.
It is not advisable to gain too much weight during pregnancy, so foods with high fat content should be eaten as little as possible, because these foods will not only lead to excessive weight gain of pregnant women, but also lead to more serious breathlessness.
