Fetal hiccups prove that there is no hypoxia. Fetal burping is only a normal phenomenon and has nothing to do with hypoxia.
In the third trimester, the mother can feel that the fetus often burps. Mother will inevitably be very worried at this time. Is it normal for the baby to burp? But if the mother holds her breath and waits patiently, she will find that the fetal hiccups will stop in the third trimester. Medically, fetal hiccups are called "hiccups". Fetal burps spit out amniotic fluid, not gas in the stomach like adults. The alveoli of the fetus grow up slowly in this hiccup, and the lungs become stronger slowly, which is to prepare for breathing after birth!
Fetal hiccups are characterized by jumping, similar to heartbeat. Expectant mothers will bounce when they touch the beating place, which is very regular and different from fetal movement. Mothers can tell if they feel it carefully. Sometimes the fetus burps in the middle of the night and sometimes in the morning. Touch him gently at this moment, and he will stop snoring after a few minutes. It feels great.
Fetal burping is actually a normal manifestation of fetal periodicity in the mother's womb, and frequent burping is helpful to the normal development of fetal lungs. Some pregnant mothers are worried about whether the fetal burping is related to their living habits, whether it is because they eat too much, or eat too fast, which leads to the baby burping, or whether the baby lacks oxygen. Actually, it is not. Many parents are paying attention to every move of the fetus, which is a good thing, but there is no need to panic too much, and we should calmly deal with it.
How many weeks is the fetus prone to hypoxia? Fetuses in the third trimester, that is, from 8 months or 28 weeks, are prone to hypoxia.
Fetal hypoxia is fetal (intrauterine) distress, which means that the fetus has signs of hypoxia in the uterus, endangering the health and life of the fetus. During pregnancy, as the child grows up, the space in the uterus becomes smaller, which brings inconvenience to the baby's activities. If there is an umbilical cord around the neck, it is not easy to come out, and the placenta will age in the third trimester, and the oxygen supply will be insufficient. Therefore, fetal distress mainly occurs during labor and can also occur in the third trimester of pregnancy. The third trimester, that is, the third trimester, is called the third trimester according to the cycle from 28 weeks to 40 weeks. According to the month, it is the last three months of pregnancy, which is 8/9/ 10 months. Therefore, the fetus in the third trimester, that is, from 8 months or 28 weeks, is prone to hypoxia.
The causes of fetal hypoxia are as follows:
First, the placenta is abnormal. Placenta previa is an abnormal placenta implantation position, which is easy to cause fetal distress. The main reason is that the blood supply to the lower uterus is poor and it is easy to lack oxygen; Once the area of placenta previa increases, the amount of bleeding will increase, which will affect the exchange function of placenta, and anemia of pregnant women will also reduce the oxygen supply capacity of placenta. Placenta adhesion or implantation is due to the dysfunction of endometrium at the attachment of placenta, and the placenta excessively infiltrates the uterine wall, which affects the function of placenta. The area of placental abruption increases to a certain extent, which affects the exchange function between mother and fetus, often leading to fetal distress and even stillbirth.
Second, the umbilical cord is abnormal. Umbilical cord is the link between fetus and placenta. Abnormal development or pathological changes of umbilical cord affect umbilical blood flow, leading to fetal distress. Such as umbilical cord around the neck, umbilical cord knotting, umbilical cord torsion, umbilical cord prolapse, umbilical cord hematoma, umbilical cord too long or too short, umbilical cord attached to fetal membranes and so on.
