Which month of pregnancy is the most unsafe? It's not the first three months

After pregnancy, expectant mothers are often very anxious, fearing that something unexpected will happen to the baby in the belly. The following No. 5 website editor will show you which month of pregnancy is the most unsafe? It is not the first three months.

Which month of pregnancy is the most unsafe?

28 weeks is the least safe.

People who are familiar with the delivery room or pregnant women will feel that every medical worker working in the delivery room often mentions a number of weeks, which is 28 weeks. Compared with the 40 weeks of pregnancy, 28 weeks, which is 7 months of pregnancy, has an extremely special meaning.

For example, Ms. Li, who was 21 weeks pregnant, found during her prenatal checkup that the fetus in her belly was lying down, sitting, and kicking its legs. She was not obedient at all. Ms. Li, who wanted to have a natural birth, asked the doctor worriedly: "The little guy is not cooperating at all. How can I have a natural birth if the fetus is not in the right position?"

The doctor's reply was: "Don't worry. Before 28 weeks of pregnancy, the position and posture of the fetus can change easily, so the fetal position can change easily. Only after 28 weeks, the position and posture of the fetus will be relatively fixed, that is, the fetal position is relatively fixed. Of course, some fetuses are not "restful" and the fetal position will change, from head position to breech position and transverse position, and from breech position and transverse position to head position. Even at 36 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal position is still changing."

Therefore, before 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is meaningless to pay attention to the fetal position of the baby. It is not until after 28 weeks of pregnancy that the fetal position gradually becomes fixed, and pregnant women need to have a more meaningful fetal position check. Why is it 28 weeks, not 30 weeks or 32 weeks, or even later? The 28-week check is to leave a time period for correction of abnormal fetal position. The best time to check the fetal position is around 28 weeks of pregnancy. If the pregnant woman does a fetal position check at 32 weeks of pregnancy, it will be difficult to correct it if an abnormal fetal position is found.

To give another example, there is an old saying that the elderly often say: Seven months old babies die and eight months old live. This means that a seven-month-old premature baby cannot grow up, and only an eight-month-old premature baby can survive.

7 months, which is 28 weeks. Why do I say that? Because the fetus' lungs can only breathe after 28 weeks.

The 28th week of pregnancy is also of great significance to our delivery room.

In obstetrics, a fetus that reaches 28 weeks enters the perinatal period in a strict sense. For fetuses after 28 weeks, the hospital has a higher responsibility to ensure the safety of the fetus and the mother.

It is well known that the infant mortality rate of a country represents the health level of the country. The infant mortality rate refers to the ratio of the number of deaths of infants under one year old to the number of births. It is usually calculated on an annual basis and expressed in thousandths.

Another indicator to measure a country's health level is the perinatal mortality rate, which refers to the ratio of the number of deaths among live births born after 28 weeks of gestation to the number of births within 28 days after birth.

To put it more bluntly, fetal death before 28 weeks can only be considered as miscarriage, and only fetal death after 28 weeks is included in the national health care indicators.

Therefore, the period from the 28th week of pregnancy to one week after birth is medically called the perinatal period, which is often referred to as the perinatal period. Since the late pregnancy, the delivery process and the early postpartum period after the birth of the newborn are the peak periods for various gynecological diseases related to pregnancy and delivery, the perinatal period is named as an important period in obstetrics, and perinatal care is an important measure to prevent various diseases related to delivery.

Expectant mothers at 28 weeks can start preparing a maternity bag, which includes supplies for delivery and after the baby is born. Prepare the maternity bag in advance so that whenever the baby is coming, you can immediately pick up the bag and go to the hospital.

At 28 weeks of pregnancy, the baby can open his eyes

Before the 28th week of pregnancy, the fetus' eyes are closed. They will open between the 28th and 32nd weeks of pregnancy, and will close again after the 32nd week of pregnancy. Between the 28th and 32nd weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has a more regular sleep cycle, and the time of waking and sleeping becomes regular. The eyes are closed when sleeping and open when waking up. The ability to open and close the eyes at will indicates that the muscles around the eyes have developed very well.

The fetus's subcutaneous fat has increased slightly, but overall the skin still has many wrinkles and it will take some time for it to be supported by the subcutaneous fat.

The hair may have grown 5 mm, the vellus hair is still present, and the face and body have the appearance of a newborn.

Although the fetus' lungs are not yet fully developed at this time, if it is born now, with the help of a ventilator and the careful care of a doctor, the survival rate is still relatively high. However, this is the maximum gestational age for premature babies to survive in my country, so you should not take it lightly and avoid premature birth.

28 Weeks Pregnancy Symptoms

The uterus is above the navel, about 8 cm above the navel, and the height of the uterus is about 21 to 24 cm. If measured from the pubic symphysis to the bottom of the uterus, it is about 28 cm. The burden on the heart is gradually increasing, blood pressure begins to rise, and varicose veins, hemorrhoids, constipation and other troubles are coming one after another to bother you. Because the abdomen is pushed forward more strongly, the center of gravity of the body moves below the abdomen. As long as the body loses balance slightly, you will feel back pain or leg pain. If you feel breathless when lying flat, it is best to lie on your side. The swelling of the feet and calves is serious. Standing or squatting for too long or the belt is tied too tightly will aggravate the swelling. If the swelling is not accompanied by hypertension and proteinuria, it is a normal phenomenon after pregnancy. At 28 weeks, pregnant women occasionally feel that their stomachs are hard and tight. This is false labor, so don't be nervous.
