Pregnancy care

For pregnant mothers, the baby's health is higher than anything else, so everyone will be very careful during pregnancy. However, taboos on pregnancy alone are out of the question. The physical quality of the fetus depends on the body's physical quality, and if the mother herself is in an unhealthy state, the likelihood of the fetus becoming ill is greatly increased.

Many babies are still smaller in their mother's belly than their babies during the same period, which worries many parents. What exactly is the cause of the fetus? Next, and Xiaobian together to understand it.

What is the cause of the smaller fetus?

First, the fetus is smaller reasons

1. maternal disease

Mommy, older age, early maternal weight increased malnutrition, malnutrition, congenital uterine infections (rubella, cytomegalovirus, Toxoplasma infection, syphilis and protozoa A type and B type hepatitis), gestational hypertension, pre eclampsia, late onset of cerebrovascular disease, cardiac or respiratory disease, diabetes, chronic long-term kidney disease, severe anemia (Mediterranean anemia), smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction (amphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, opium or inhalation of solvent, it is easy to cause) factors of fetal small.

2. fetal self problems

The fetus's own problems can also affect fetal development, such as multiple births, chromosomal abnormalities, etc., can hinder fetal development, and even lead to death. There are dwarfism syndrome, congenital osteogenesis imperfecta, congenital heart disease, genitourinary abnormalities, central nervous system abnormalities, etc., are likely to lead to fetal small. If the mother of the fetus has these problems, should pay more attention to the birth check, to ensure the health of the fetus.

3. placental dysfunction (the most common cause, accounting for about 80%)

Chronic pancreatitis, placental thrombosis or infarction, villous hemangioma, connective tissue disease, chronic partial placental abruption, placenta previa, placenta or umbilical cord abnormalities, and blood flow between the twins.

In fact, about 40% of the fetal growth retardation causes are still unknown, generally or with placental insufficiency, the reduction of blood flow in the uterus and placenta, cause fetal insufficiency, may affect fetal development, even endanger the fetus's life. Therefore, if pregnant women find such diseases, they should go to the hospital for treatment.

Two, fetal little influence

If during pregnancy, fetal growth retardation, fetal small phenomenon, the possible effects are: production of oxygen content is low, easily inhaled meconium causes breathing difficulties, increase the risk of fetal distress; birth may appear hypoglycemia and low blood calcium, low temperature, polycythemia, increase the risk of brain injury.

What is the cause of the smaller fetus?

In addition, according to a recent study, the inner environment of the uterus and fetal growth is good, and is closely related to the health status of middle age for example, fetal birth weight is too light, the probability of future risk of heart disease, hypertension and other chronic diseases is relatively high.

Three, how should the pregnant woman prevent the fetus to be smaller?

1. complete nutrition high calorie meals (but not high protein) and fetal birth weight increased obviously, helps to reduce the incidence of low birth weight, mommy in physician or dietitian professional advice, nutrition needs appropriate.

2. avoid fatigue and rest in bed, because the appropriate rest can increase the uteroplacental blood flow, promote placental blood flow, fetal development more healthy, but also can prevent premature, especially for twin pregnancy is more important.

3., pay attention to pregnancy, health, pregnancy, to avoid harmful lifestyle, such as smoking, drinking, and the mother should always pay attention to health, control of all kinds of complications, such as toxemia, kidney disease.

4., the use of drug therapy, early pregnancy using a small amount of aspirin, can prevent the small blood vessel embolism, so that the uterus and placenta blood flow to maintain unimpeded, and help the fetus to obtain adequate oxygen and nutrition.

5. assess the need for early production and consider whether early production is possible for the growing fetus if the intrauterine environment threatens the health of the fetus.

6. regular check master Mommy growth, in addition to improve the incorrect diet habits, avoid alcohol, smoking, drug abuse, exposure to toxic substances, but can not ignore the importance of production inspection, but with regular production inspection, in order to grasp the growth of the fetus, early found early treatment, reduce the risk for fetal growth retardation the.
