Signals of fetal safety during pregnancy

Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-01-19

Fetal safety signals during pregnancy, during pregnancy, the fetus is conceived in the womb of the expectant mother, especially the mothers who conceive the baby for the first time feel novel and a little overwhelmed, because there is no experience, expectant mothers often miss the various information that our fetal baby conveys to you, especially these information is sometimes related to the safety of the baby, so please be careful to pay attention to the mother-to-be and pay more attention in ordinary life.

1. See red. Normal signal: What we usually call redness is that before the term of pregnancy and labor, a small amount of bleeding caused by the separation of the fetal membranes from the uterine wall will be discharged together with ** secretions, which is a signal of labor. At this time, expectant mothers should not panic, maintain a stable state of mind to prepare for childbirth, and go to the hospital in time to give birth.

Red flag: If the situation described above occurs before the pregnancy is full-term, generally 37 weeks as the boundary, at this time, you need to be vigilant, pay attention to whether it is a premature labor warning, and go to the hospital in time;

2. Bleeding.

Red flags: If it occurs in the first trimester, it is most likely to be a threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancyWhen it occurs in the third trimester and is not accompanied by abdominal pain, it is often caused by placenta previa, which can affect the postpartum hemostasis and may even cause postpartum hemorrhage

3. Galactorrhea. Normal signals: In the first trimester, some expectant mothers may have milk overflow, but nothing else is not, which is a relatively normal phenomenon during pregnancy.

Danger signal: However, if the phenomenon of galactorrhea is more obvious, and it is accompanied by abdominal pain or bleeding and other symptoms, especially those expectant mothers who have a history of unexplained miscarriage should pay special attention to prevent hyperprolactinemia, mainly because too high prolactin will inhibit the hormone secretion of the hypothalamic-pituitary gland, affect the function of the placenta and fetal development, and seek medical attention in time

4. The feeling of swelling disappears.

Normal signal: Due to hormonal changes after pregnancy, many of our expectant mothers may feel swelling pain, darkening of the areola and other phenomena, which is a very normal physiological change, and there is no need to worry too much at this time.

Danger Signs: When the feeling of swelling disappears and the ** becomes loose, it is likely to indicate the occurrence of villous necrosis, the embryo is dying or has died;

5. Enlargement of the uterus.

Normal signal: Because the baby is constantly developing and growing, then as the pregnancy progresses, the uterus will grow out of the pelvis and slowly enlarge, and the pregnant mother needs to do regular prenatal check-ups to measure the fundal height and abdominal circumference.

Red flag: Once it is found that the uterus grows too slowly or stops growing, it is likely to be caused by the baby's poor growth, oligohydramnios, or even fetal death in utero, and it is necessary to see a doctor in timeIf the uterus is enlarged too quickly, it is necessary to consider whether there are other problems such as twin pregnancies, fetal macrosomia, or polyhydramnios. Don't panic at this time, after all, there will be a certain error in fundal height measurement, and the values measured by different examiners will also have certain differences, so further ultrasound examination is needed for diagnosis

6. Fetal movement. Normal signal: Most pregnant mothers will begin to feel fetal movement at the 16th to 20th week of pregnancy, which may be mild at first, and will slowly become stronger laterThe number of fetal movements in the third trimester of pregnancy is normally greater than 30 in 12 hours

Danger flag: If the fetal movement is abnormally frequent or abnormally reduced, if the frequency is less than 10 times in 12 hours, the fetus should be considered for intrauterine hypoxiaIf the fetal movement is not felt after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is very likely that the baby has an abnormality and needs to be seen in time

7. Tight belly.

Normal signal: Pregnant women after the second trimester often feel tight belly, but do not feel abdominal pain, touch will feel hard belly, but after a while can be naturally relieved and disappear, generally this phenomenon becomes ** contractions, the frequency of occurrence is uncertain;

Red flags: However, if you notice that you have regular and paroxysmal belly tightness, which gradually worsens and is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should see a doctor in time

The healthy growth and development of the baby is the greatest wish of all expectant mothers, and expectant mothers should pay careful attention to the abnormal dynamics of the fetal baby, so as to take effective measures in time.
