How can expectant mothers know whether their babies are healthy or not without prenatal examination?

After pregnancy, everyone will have a regular prenatal check-up to check their health and the baby's development. But in the days when there is no prenatal examination, the baby in the belly is invisible and intangible. How can we know whether he is healthy or not? Actually, you don't have to worry. You can monitor whether the baby is normal by counting fetal movements, and judge whether he is healthy by observing some symptoms of the body. If you find vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, water breakthrough and other phenomena, you should be alert and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Pay attention to fetal movement

Most expectant mothers begin to feel fetal movement from about 20 weeks of pregnancy. With the increase of gestational age, fetal movement will gradually increase, reaching the peak at 32 ~ 34 weeks of pregnancy and gradually weakening after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Fetal movement is often more obvious in the evening and afternoon. Every baby has his own routine. After fetal movement, before 28 weeks of pregnancy, everyone can pay attention to the law of fetal movement. After 28 weeks of pregnancy, you'd better keep counting the number of fetal movements every day, and the normal fetal movements are ≥ 10 times /2 hours.

You can count the fetal movements of 1 hour every day after breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then multiply these three fetal movements by 4, which is the fetal movements of 12 hour. If 12 hour fetal movement is more than 30 times, it reflects that the fetus is in good condition; If it is less than 10 times, or more than 50% less than usual, there is the possibility of fetal hypoxia. You should go to the hospital in time at this time.

If there is continuous fetal movement or fetal movement is felt in multiple positions at the same time, it can only be counted as one time. After the fetal movement stops completely, count again. As for how often to consider new fetal movements, there is no uniform standard. It is generally believed that at least the fetus has to stop for a few minutes before it can be counted as another time. Everyone should unify the standards before and after.

Beware of vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and water bursting.

Also beware of vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and water breakthrough, which may be threatened abortion (a sign of abortion) in the first and second trimester, and threatened premature delivery (a sign of premature delivery) in the third trimester.

Early and second trimester of pregnancy: beware of threatened abortion

In the first and second trimester of pregnancy (before the 28th week of pregnancy), if the secretion is dark red, or there is vaginal bleeding, especially persistent bleeding similar to menstruation, you need to go to the hospital to check and confirm the reasons. If you have abdominal pain occasionally, but it disappears soon, you can observe it again. If the pain is frequent, seven or eight times a day, or lasts for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination. The doctor will judge whether it is threatened abortion according to the symptoms of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, combined with B-ultrasound, HCG and progesterone examination.

Late pregnancy: beware of threatened premature delivery

In the third trimester but not full term (28 ~ 37 weeks of pregnancy), if vaginal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain, or even water breakthrough are found, it is felt that there are waves of liquid flowing out of the lower body, which is as uncontrollable as urine and transparent in color. Could be threatened premature delivery. You should go to the hospital in time. Note that threatened abortion is not equal to abortion, and threatened premature delivery is not equal to premature delivery. Early detection and treatment of related symptoms can avoid miscarriage and premature delivery. If you want to know more, you can click on the article recommended at the end of the article. In addition to being alert to vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and water breakthrough, you should consult a doctor in time when you find other discomfort symptoms, confirm the reasons, and treat them.
