Although the fetus develops to a certain extent, it can make its own antibodies and gradually establish an immune mechanism, but most of its antibodies are obtained from the mother in the third trimester. If the baby is born at 37 weeks, the immune system is relatively not mature at 40 weeks, and the baby's ability to resist viruses and bacteria is relatively poor. Be more careful in the nursing process than the 40-week-old baby, otherwise the probability of getting sick will be higher. My baby is premature. At that time, the two sentences that impressed me the most were: "The fetus is better in the palace than outside 1 week" and "Don't let the baby catch a cold in the process of parenting, otherwise it will be very troublesome".
According to the research, compared with babies born at 39-40 weeks, babies born at 37 and 38 weeks have lower scores in thermoregulation, breastfeeding and breathing, and appear jaundice for a longer time. The fetus began to suck fingers around 14 weeks of pregnancy. The baby's behavior is not for fun, but to establish a sucking reflex and prepare for going out to suck milk in the uterus in the future. At 37 weeks, the baby's sucking ability may be worse than that at 40 weeks, and it may take longer to suck milk. Although the fetus can self-regulate its body temperature in the third trimester, it still depends on the mother to maintain it. The increase of pulmonary surfactant in 34-35 weeks indicates that the development of fetal lung is complete, but it will take several weeks to improve. If the fetus is forced to leave the uterus at 37 weeks, and the gestational age is different from the gestational age, then the baby may need to live in an incubator, which will lead to more expenses.
Mothers who have given birth to babies know that there is a sticky white oil on the newborn baby. This thing is medically called "fetal fat", which is a substance formed by the metabolism of the fetus itself. It gradually forms fetal fat from sebaceous glands around 20 weeks of pregnancy, which can protect the fetus, help the fetus regulate body temperature and prevent infection. Under normal circumstances, the left fetal fat gradually falls off at 38 weeks of pregnancy. If it is a baby born at 37 weeks, it will be covered with a thick layer of fetal fat, which looks less refreshing and white, while at 40 weeks, the fetal fat will fall off and be white.
John Medina, a famous American neuroscientist, pointed out that the baby's birth weight has a certain relationship with IQ, and the birth weight is directly proportional to intelligence, but this premise is 7.2 kilograms, and it will decline after exceeding this weight. For those babies who have to be born early because of lack of oxygen and other reasons, their brain maturity and physical function are not as good as those of "ripe melons". However, this kind of baby can promote the development of brain, big exercise and fine exercise through some early education and training, such as heel-shooting training, air bath, passive aerobic, kangaroo parenting, touch massage and so on.
Hello, I'm Xinyu's mother. I'm glad to answer this question.
However, babies born after 37 weeks are full-term, and all aspects of body organs and tissues have matured, so babies born after 37 weeks are healthy in all aspects, so pregnant mothers don't have to worry too much about their intelligence.
1. For the fetus, it is full-term at 37 weeks. Medically, a baby who has reached 37 weeks is called a full-term premature baby.
The 40-week-old baby belongs to the late stage.
2. Whether it is 37 weeks or 40 weeks, the baby is mature and can better adapt to the external environment.
3. According to the development and growth of the fetus, the fetus at 40 weeks develops well.
(1) There are also differences in the time when a baby is born. Generally speaking, as long as the fetus reaches 37 weeks, it is full-term and can be delivered. It is normal to reach about 40 weeks.
(2) The fetuses at 37 weeks and 40 weeks are full-term, and there is no obvious difference from the development status.
(3) Fetal weight is dominant at 40 weeks, which is heavier than that at 37 weeks.
(4) Fetuses born at 40 weeks are more adaptable to the external environment than those born at 37 weeks.
(5) The difference between a 37-week fetus and a 40-week fetus is that a healthy expectant mother can provide better nutrition for the baby, and the fetus naturally develops well.
(6) For expectant mothers with poor maternal health, the development of the fetus is relatively slow.
Generally speaking, the 40-week-old fetus develops well and has strong ability to adapt to the environment.
Hello, I'm Tao Xiaozhen. I'm glad to answer your question.
In medicine, delivery after 28 weeks of pregnancy and before 37 weeks is called premature delivery. The fetus weighs less than 2,500 grams and is less than 35 centimeters in length.
When they learn that they have a baby, everyone hopes to have a full-term healthy child born. Every time I go to a maternity check-up, I will also hear some stories about pregnant women. The doctor said, "If you are too young or too old, your cervix is abnormal or underdeveloped, or your pregnant woman is malnourished and weak, you may be born prematurely."
I think, in order to reduce the occurrence of premature delivery. Everyone must do a good job in prenatal examination on time, so that doctors can fully understand your health and correct the situation that may lead to premature delivery. There is also snacks in diet and daily life, not too big.
Can premature babies affect intelligence? Will it be worse than the intelligence of a 40-week full-term baby?
I have a friend whose son was born 34 weeks ago and weighs only 5 Jin. His heart and lung function is not very good. He stayed in the hospital incubator for a month. Since then, he has been discharged from the hospital with good health and normal intelligence. Will not affect intelligence because of premature birth. More is the training and cultivation of the day after tomorrow.
1. Warm family atmosphere. Some premature babies may be weak. Family members should take good care of them and speak softly to their children. Have more patience and understanding. A harmonious family relationship will also make the baby feel love and warm and comfortable.
2. Context cultivation. This normal training is good, and you should communicate and play with your children more every day. You can also deliberately play some puzzle games (building blocks, finding similarities and differences, etc. ).
3. The diet is high-quality, healthy and comprehensive. You can give your child some foods rich in DHA (deep-sea fish such as salmon and cod). Try to eat more miscellaneous grains, milk, calcium, zinc, iron and other foods every day.
I hope it helps you!
Pay attention to @ Jingjing Jingjing Jingjing, and bring the baby together easily and efficiently ~
Hello, I'm Aunt Hong, and I'm glad to answer this question for you.
A 37-week-old baby can also be regarded as a full-term baby. Now it's born. Compared with 40 weeks, I think the intellectual problems of children are related to the gestational age at birth, but they are not absolutely related. Mainly related to the degree of hypoxia of the child at that time.
A friend's child was born prematurely at 36 weeks, but the lack of oxygen was not obvious at that time. Coupled with the cultivation and education of friends the day after tomorrow, the child is now excellent and admitted to the famous 985 University.
But at that time, a colleague's child was born at full term, but it was difficult to give birth. The child is severely hypoxic and suffers from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Although he has also received treatment, his intelligence is still a little worse than that of ordinary children.
There are several key stages in fetal brain development:
1, the first phase: 8 weeks before pregnancy. The fetal brain begins to form and divide brain cells, which is a critical period for the formation of brain cells. At this time, you can eat some folic acid to avoid contact with and eating harmful substances and radiation.
2, the second phase: about 20 weeks pregnant. At this stage, the number of fetal brain cells increases rapidly, and the auditory and visual systems begin to develop. If mother wants to strengthen nutrition, she can start to do some prenatal education for the fetus.
3. The third stage: 30 weeks of pregnancy to delivery. At this stage, the fetal brain is basically fully developed. Therefore, although 37 weeks is still a little worse in adaptability to the outside world and self-living ability, it is similar in intelligence to a baby born at 40 weeks.
However, if the baby was seriously deprived of oxygen at that time, causing serious damage to brain cells, it would have an impact on intelligence. However, we should not be afraid. If there is hypoxia, the baby's brain develops rapidly, which has a strong compensatory function because it is within 1 year.
Therefore, we can seize the golden time after birth, ask professional institutions and hospitals for guidance, and carry out intelligence development training. I believe that babies will catch up with normal children and sometimes surpass their intelligence.
I wish the baby a healthy and happy growth! I'm Aunt Ma Bao @ Hong talking about parenting. You can discuss any parenting problem with me!
Hello, I am a lactation consultant and an evaluator of children's brain development. Let's try to answer your question from my professional point of view.
Let's start with a real case.
At the end of 20 19, I met a mother and daughter. When her family contacted me, they told me on the phone that they wanted to consult me because of insufficient lactation after delivery. At that time, my mother was about postpartum 1 month.
I found the particularity of the problem when I went to her house. This is not a simple lactation consultation.
The baby in this family found that the placenta adhered seriously when she had a cesarean section, and the placenta was damaged when the doctor peeled it off. After the baby girl was born, she went into shock due to cerebral ischemia, and she stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit of a specialized hospital for a week before she gradually became safe. During the treatment, the child also had convulsions. The doctor's order at that time was that the degree of brain injury is not clear at present and needs close observation by family members.
A series of accidents, especially the child's condition, deeply affected the young mother. But she told me, "I will try to breastfeed as much as possible for the recovery of my child." In fact, her own health at that time was also very worrying. More than a week after delivery, cesarean section caused incomplete intestinal obstruction, which in turn led to appendicitis. The physical condition at that time, plus no children, almost no breast milk.
In this way, for more than three months, I contacted this family three or four times. During the period, I gave my mother breastfeeding guidance and chasing milk, and gave my child a detailed brain development assessment to guide my family's daily care and play skills. With such careful care, my child is currently in an ideal state of development. Fortunately, my mother's milk quantity is basically the same as that of my mother in the same month.
This family is both unfortunate and lucky.
Back to your question, according to my personal practical experience and cases around me, infants with brain injury at birth need to pay more attention to brain development testing and family-based brain development training than normal healthy children. Such families also need professional guidance at any time.
Aiming at the problem of brain damage, I will introduce you to several family self-test skills:
① It is difficult to contain milk, and the sucking ability is weak.
This is the simplest self-test method. In the process of feeding, if it is difficult for the baby to contain milk and the mother's nipple hurts badly, the possibility of improper feeding posture can be ruled out, which may be a manifestation of brain retardation.
② The proportion of facial features is not harmonious.
This is a bit difficult. You can use simple operation methods to observe whether the baby's facial features are symmetrical when crying, and whether the mouth and cheek muscles are asymmetrical.
③ Large motor developmental retardation.
Babies who should be able to turn over, sit, climb, etc., but not yet, should attract the attention of their families.
④ Language function.
This is also a relatively simple self-awareness. When the child is 3-4 months old, if the family finds that the child is too quiet or can't laugh, they can't laugh. It is recommended to seek medical advice in time.
There are many things about brain development evaluation, so I won't expand them here.
Remember, many brain development-related problems, if found in time, early intervention, early training plan, the prognosis is very ideal.
I hope my answer is helpful to you!
Personally, I think there are still some gaps.
Just like my family Hong Shi was born at 38 weeks, my family next door was born at 42 weeks, and my friends and sisters were born at 42 weeks, both boys. Our three children were born almost at the same time. One of their babies was 7.6 kg at birth and the other was 7.95 kg. My Hong Shi was born on 6. 16.
In fact, I don't know whether it is the individual difference of the baby or whether he was born to lose at the starting line. Anyway, the development of Hong Shi is slower than theirs. For example, their babies can laugh at the full moon, turn over in two and a half months and laugh at each other in three months. My Hong Shi only smiled once in two months, then turned over in three months, and smiled in three and a half months.
For a while, I thought my son was stupid and slow-witted, and not as smart as other babies. Especially when I was young, my reaction was particularly slow, which made me extremely anxious.
But it's all right now. The baby is big, and now its development level is almost the same as other babies.
Of course, it may also be that each baby's development law is different. In short, it is good for the baby's health.
Before answering this question, let's first understand the term, which refers to the fetus after 37 weeks of pregnancy. In other words, most full-term babies develop normally, that is, there is no difference in intelligence between babies delivered by cesarean section at 37 weeks of pregnancy and those delivered at 40 weeks of pregnancy. After all, intelligence is inherited by parents' IQ.
At this time, some netizens may ask, is the cesarean section at 37 weeks pregnant the same as that at 40 weeks pregnant? As an obstetrician, it is certainly different to tell you responsibly. The research data suggest that the probability of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome after cesarean section in 37 ~ 38 weeks of pregnancy is significantly higher than that after 39 weeks. Therefore, for cesarean section, in the absence of other special indications for termination of pregnancy, it is recommended to arrange for 39 weeks of pregnancy, and don't hurt your child for a special day. Good luck with your pregnancy.
Let me answer this question. If you have a second child, you will have a caesarean section in 37 weeks. I had a caesarean section because the eldest brother and the second child were separated for five years and the incision was a little thin before I got pregnant with the second child. I can't help it It takes 37 weeks to have a caesarean section. I don't think my penis is any different from children of the same age. He was born thinner than other babies, but my second child loves to eat, so he gained weight after three months. And the resistance is stronger than my boss. In fact, I don't think I can give birth early and I don't have to worry too much about the baby's physique and IQ. As long as you add more nutrition the day after tomorrow. Before long, he will be like a normal baby.
Newborns are a critical period for the development of nerve cells. Hypoxia mainly affects intelligence and function. Generally, short-term hypoxia will not affect brain tissue damage and intelligence. Long-term hypoxia may cause brain tissue damage and directly affect intellectual development. Doctors will grade newborns one or five minutes after birth. According to the score, prescribe the right medicine. Generally, a scale of ten indicates that the baby is normal. More than seven points means that the baby is slightly hypoxic, but it will not affect the future. 4~6 points indicate that the baby is moderately hypoxic and suffocated, and active treatment can recover in a short time. Babies with a score below 4 have severe hypoxia, asphyxia and respiratory depression, and they must be rescued by doctors to get better.
Why is the fetus prone to hypoxia during pregnancy? The main causes of fetal intrauterine hypoxia are:
① Maternal factors: severe anemia, uterine placental angiosclerosis, etc. ② Obstacles in maternal-fetal transport and exchange: low placental function, abnormal umbilical cord, etc. ③ Fetal factors: cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, fetal malformation, etc.
If fetal hypoxia occurs, oxygen must be inhaled immediately. If you take oxygen, you will be fine if you do normal fetal monitoring. If fetal monitoring is still abnormal after oxygen inhalation, the above factors must be considered.
How to prevent fetal intrauterine hypoxia? The following points can be considered:
① Go to the hospital for regular check-up and take oxygen.
② Take more walks, absorb more fresh air and go less to crowded places.
③ It is suggested to lie on the left side to increase the supply of fetal itching.
These are my personal thoughts, hoping to help Ma Bao. I also wish all expectant mothers all the best, health and safety!
Introduction: The baby was born prematurely because of lack of oxygen just 37 weeks ago. Will intelligence be worse than 40 weeks?
I think I have a good say in this issue. Menstruation's cousin was born prematurely because of lack of amniotic fluid, about 37 weeks, and lived in an incubator for more than a month after birth.
Intellectually, although not the best, my cousin's academic performance in primary school was not very good, and he failed after junior high school. Every exam is basically in front of the class 10, and every time in junior high school, it is in the top 50 of the county. In high school, there are 100 children in the county, so there is no difference in intelligence between children born at 37 weeks and children born at 40 weeks.
In addition, we can explain it scientifically:
The fetus is mature at 36 weeks, so the baby born at 37-40 weeks is full-term. Because by about 36 weeks, all the organs of the baby's body have developed well. At this time, the fingers are fully mature, the fingernails have grown, and the eyes can feel the light outside. At this time, his or her organ development is almost the same as that of a newborn baby.
