In the third trimester, pregnant mothers are most worried about the problem of fetal hypoxia, fearing that fetal hypoxia will bring danger for various reasons. However, during pregnancy, pregnant mothers can't see the activities of the fetus with naked eyes, and can't see the hypoxia of the fetus in time. In fact, in order to find out whether the fetus is hypoxic, pregnant mothers can indirectly judge by the following methods.
Methods 1, counting fetal movements?
"Fetal movement is a barometer of fetal health" and it is also the fastest way for pregnant mothers to find fetal abnormalities.
Under normal circumstances, in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, fetal movement is more regular. During the prenatal examination, the doctor will also tell the pregnant mother to go home and count the fetal movements every day. If there is anything unusual, you can find it in time. Generally, it is normal to count fetal movements three times a day for one hour at a time, at least 3-5 times. If the fetus moves continuously within 5 minutes, it is once. You can also estimate the number of fetal movements in 1 hour according to the number of fetal movements in1hour, and multiply the number of fetal movements in 3 hours by 4, which is 12 hour.
PS: What if some pregnant mothers really can't count fetal movements?
Some pregnant mothers say that they can't count fetal movements. They can evaluate the number of fetal movements every day according to their own fetal movement experience, about how many fetal movements there will be a day, and when the fetal movements are frequent every day to judge whether the fetal movements are normal. If the frequency, speed and intensity of fetal movement are different from before, it may be abnormal, which requires pregnant mothers to be highly vigilant.
For example, the fetus suddenly moves violently, constantly kicking and twisting, and then becomes weak, and there is no fetal movement gradually, and there is no fetal movement for a long time. This is a sign of danger. You should go to the hospital for examination at once. Don't be careless.
It was previously reported that a pregnant mother in Zhuzhou, who was pregnant for 38 weeks, got up in the morning and felt less fetal movement and abnormal, so she quickly went to the hospital. The results show? The fetus with "umbilical cord torsion" is at risk of hypoxia, and the doctor arranged an emergency caesarean section to avoid the danger.
Method two, look at the fetal heart rate?
There are two ways to see the fetal heart rate. One is the examination items arranged by the doctor during the examination. Mostly in the early stage? Doppler listening to fetal heart? Check, every time the doctor will help pregnant women listen to fetal heart sounds and monitor fetal heart rate. After 28-32 weeks of pregnancy, there is one more fetal heart monitoring in prenatal examination, which mainly monitors the fetal heart for a period of time. Fetal heart rate, fetal movement and contractions? Wait, and finally draw a report chart similar to ECG.
The normal fetal heart rate is 120- 160 beats/min. If it is within this range, it is normal; if it is not within this range, it will prompt an exception. Most doctors will arrange a reexamination for pregnant mothers. Another way is for pregnant women to buy a "home fetal heart" and listen to it at home every day. It is very convenient to hear and record the fetal heartbeat. Pregnant mothers who can't count fetal movements can also use this method to listen to the fetal heart to judge the situation every day, which is intuitive and accurate.
Method 3: Measure the height of the palace? In the third trimester of pregnancy, obstetricians sometimes help pregnant mothers to measure the uterine height, which is also an indicator to indirectly judge the fetal situation.
Seven months after pregnancy is the fastest growth stage of fetal weight and pregnant mother's belly. Almost every week, the height of uterus will increase by about 1cm. Pregnant mothers can also measure the height of uterus at home. If it is found that the increase of uterine height is not good or not, it indirectly indicates that the fetus is poorly developed. Be careful, and you'd better see a doctor for a check-up in time.
During pregnancy, although pregnant mothers can't directly see the development of the fetus, they can find or judge the abnormality of the fetus through their own feelings or examinations. If anything goes wrong, she should see a doctor in time, and don't be careless.
