Feel the growth of life in the womb day by day, and at the same time, I will gradually feel uneasy, especially when I see the due date approaching, I am more nervous and afraid of losing my baby carelessly.
In the third trimester, the baby may be born at any time, and the check-ups become more frequent. I have to go to the hospital for a check-up every once in a while. After returning home, I have to check all kinds of information according to the doctor's words, for fear of negligence.
However, physical fatigue and psychological tension are not good for pregnant mothers and fetuses in utero. Still need to know more about relevant knowledge. At home, you can also monitor the health of the fetus, get feedback in time, and raise the fetus with peace of mind.
The fetus will develop and mature according to certain rules. The most feared thing in the third trimester is fetal hypoxia, and you can't be too careful. The following three methods of monitoring the health of the fetus at home should be mastered by expectant mothers.
If you feel that your skin often itches, although it is very painful, the appearance of your skin has not changed, and it has not improved when you change your close-fitting clothes. Don't ignore it, but also consider whether there is the possibility of high bile acid.
It is suggested that it is best to go to the hospital to draw blood and have a hepatobiliary examination.
Before, a pregnant mother was pregnant for eight weeks and her skin was itchy. At the doctor's suggestion, she did a blood test and found something abnormal, but she didn't find any problems when she did gallbladder color ultrasound.
The condition of high bile acid is related to pregnancy. Hormone changes during pregnancy will affect Ma Bao's liver function, and with the development of the fetus, the uterus is constantly expanding, and the gallbladder is squeezed by the uterus, resulting in excessive bile secretion and bile retention.
The total bile acid is higher than the standard level, which will increase the risk of fetal hypoxia in the third trimester.
Of course, there are many reasons for itchy skin, not necessarily high bile acid, but it is more reassuring to have a blood test as soon as possible when other conditions have not been solved.
Tips:
Draw blood to check the total bile acid. If it is found to exceed the standard, the doctor will arrange to take a color Doppler ultrasound to see the state of the liver and gallbladder.
If there is no problem found by color Doppler ultrasound, it can be judged as pregnancy, so you need to take medicine according to the doctor's diagnosis, and the doctor will tell you to go back to the hospital regularly for examination.
2. Listen to the fetal heart rate and count the fetal movements.
Fetal heart refers to the sound of fetal heartbeat. Usually the baby can hear the heartbeat after six months. The standard at this time is 90- 1 10 times/minute. After 12 weeks, the standard frequency of fetal heartbeat is 120-160 beats/min.
Determine the position of fetal heart during prenatal examination, and then you can use a stethoscope to detect fetal heart at home ~
Keep lying flat, supine, legs straight, put the stethoscope in the fetal heart position, and count your heartbeat quietly one to three times a day.
As we all know, after 18-20 weeks, you can feel the baby moving around in the stomach, reaching out and kicking.
The number of fetal movements is healthy in the range of 20-30, and less or more than this number needs to go to the hospital for examination.
The pregnant mother gently puts her hand on her abdomen on her back or on her side for one hour in the morning, one hour in the middle and one hour in the evening, and counts the number of fetal movements, and then calculates the average multiplied by 12, which is the approximate number of fetal movements of 12 hours.
PS:
Fetal movement and fetal heart are interrelated, and the heartbeat will be accelerated during fetal movement, but it will recover immediately after the fetal heart is calm.
When the fetus is seriously deprived of oxygen, it will get more blood and oxygen by constantly contracting blood vessels, and the heart will run under high pressure. Because of discomfort, the fetus will instinctively move many times.
When oxygen continues to decrease, the fetus is weak due to lack of oxygen, and the fetal movement frequency will decrease.
Therefore, if you find that fetal movement suddenly becomes particularly frequent and then almost stops, be careful. There is a high probability that the baby is short of oxygen.
Tips:
Don't leave the regular physical examination. Pay more attention to the frequency of fetal heart rate and fetal movement at home. It is best to count fetal movements after meals, because the fetus is more active at this time.
Three. Measured value
Fetal development can be judged by the increase of abdominal circumference and uterine height.
The fetus gets oxygen and nutrition from its mother through the placenta in the uterus. Without oxygen, the development will be slower, and the growth rate of uterine height and abdominal circumference will naturally slow down.
Tips:
If the fetus is only slightly hypoxic, it is only manifested as slow development, unlike moderate and severe hypoxia (such as sudden decrease or increase of fetal movement), so it is not easy to detect.
However, the doctor will measure the abdominal circumference and uterine height during the prenatal examination. If the fetus is found to be underweight, a warning will be given, and pregnant mothers should take it to heart.
As the saying goes, don't fall behind in the routine physical examination.
Every gestational week, the development stage of the fetus has corresponding indicators. Laymen don't know that pregnant mothers don't have enough experience to distinguish themselves, but doctors can make scientific judgments through instruments.
In short, don't measure yourself by the standards of other pregnant mothers around you. Everyone's physique is different, so don't be superstitious about old experience.
The problem of fetal hypoxia can be light or heavy. Pregnant mothers should pay close attention but don't worry too much. Pay attention to regular check-ups, eat a balanced diet and eat more foods containing folic acid and iron to ensure that the baby has enough nutrition in his blood.
