So, will the baby in the third trimester burp every day? In fact, fetal hiccups are not like us ordinary people hiccups after eating a full meal, but the vibration caused by fetal swallowing amniotic fluid, which is also the performance of fetal improving lung breathing ability. However, this does not mean that the fetus burps every day. Whether in the second or third trimester, fetal hiccups are irregular. In fact, many times pregnant mothers think that the fetus is burping when they feel their stomachs jump, but in fact, it may be that the nerves in the abdomen are beating, just like our eyelids are beating.
So, does fetal burping mean that amniotic fluid and placenta are not bad? Although there is a certain relationship between fetal hiccups and the clarity of amniotic fluid, simply speaking, the fetus can swallow amniotic fluid, indicating that the quality of amniotic fluid is still good. If the amniotic fluid is turbid, the fetus may lack oxygen in the mother's stomach. Naturally, I won't swallow amniotic fluid again. At this time, it is necessary to check and determine the birth time of the fetus. However, fetal hiccups do not determine amniotic fluid and placenta? Quality? There are also other reasons that can lead to amniotic fluid turbidity and placental aging.
1. About the placenta
Placenta is the source of nutrition and oxygen for fetal survival. From the initial grade 0 to grade 3, the placenta gradually matures according to the age of the fetus. The closer to the third trimester, the higher the placental maturity. Generally, when giving birth to a child, the doctor will not look at the maturity of the placenta. Only when the placenta ages ahead of time will the doctor let the pregnant mother give birth ahead of time.
2. About amniotic fluid
Amniotic fluid consists of pregnant mother's serum amniotic membrane infiltrating into amniotic cavity at night and fetal urine. It can protect the fetus from extrusion, prevent the adhesion of the carcass, keep the temperature in the uterine cavity appropriate, and give the fetus a healthy environment.
The amniotic fluid is clear and transparent in the first and second trimesters. In the third trimester, fetal fat and fetal hair fall off, leading to turbid amniotic fluid. However, this situation usually occurs in the last stage of pregnancy, that is, when the fetus is about to be born, and slight amniotic fluid turbidity will not affect the fetus. If the amniotic fluid is turbid earlier, it may be that there is a problem with the development of the fetus, so that the excrement of the fetus is mixed into the amniotic fluid. At this time, the fetal burping will be reduced or stopped because of amniotic fluid, that is, the fetus has symptoms of hypoxia. In other words, amniotic fluid is not bad, and it is really suitable for fetal hiccups. But sometimes the fetus with too much or too little amniotic fluid will burp as usual, but the influence of too much or too little amniotic fluid on the fetus is not burping, but a problem of fetal development.
Therefore, fetal hiccups can't completely show that amniotic fluid and placenta are not bad, but at least fetal hiccups show that the fetus is trying to develop healthily.
