Can fetal hypoxia be detected by B-ultrasound? Can fetal hypoxia be detected by B-ultrasound?

Babies breathe through their mothers' umbilical cord. Today, I will tell you that babies will have symptoms of hypoxia. Routine B-ultrasound examinations cannot detect whether the baby is hypoxic. Today, I will tell you how to judge

Can fetal hypoxia be detected by B-ultrasound?

The answer is no, but mothers can use other characteristics to determine whether the baby is suffering from hypoxia.

Fetal intrauterine hypoxia will cause changes in fetal movements. If the fetal movements decrease or increase, you should be alert to fetal intrauterine hypoxia. Generally, B-ultrasound cannot tell whether the baby is hypoxic.

What to do if you have hypoxia

1. Be mentally prepared. For pregnant women, you must be mentally prepared when you know that the fetus is suffering from hypoxia, and you must try your best to cooperate with the guidance of medical staff to give birth. Expectant mothers should not be too anxious. You should know that sometimes sickness and colds may also cause fetal hypoxia. Regardless of the health of the fetus at this time, as an expectant mother, you must treat it with a positive and optimistic attitude, and the family of the pregnant woman should also pay more attention to the physiological and psychological aspects.

3. Maintaining the left side lying position can improve the symptoms of fetal hypoxia by improving the pregnant woman’s body position. Generally, the left side lying position increases the blood supply to the uterus and placenta. It can also increase the oxygen content in the maternal blood by oxygen inhalation, thereby improving clinical symptoms. However, if the fetal hypoxia situation does not improve, you should actively go to the hospital for examination to find out the cause of fetal hypoxia and carry out symptomatic treatment. Method: Change the supine position to the left side lying position. If it is already in the left side lying position, change to the right side lying position. If there is still no improvement, you can also change the body position every 10 minutes (some people do not take the left side lying position to relieve the pressure of the fetus on the placenta or umbilical cord and improve the fetal circulation dynamics. In order to relieve the pressure of the fetus itself on the placenta or umbilical cord and improve the fetal circulation dynamics, the left side lying position does not work → right side lying position → chest and knee lying position or head down position

Prevent fetal hypoxia

1. Turning over test: When a pregnant woman turns over from the left side to the right side, or from the right side to the left side, or from the supine position to one side, if she feels a heavy object falling down, it is abnormal and she should go to the hospital for examination in time.

2. Fetal movement detection: Pregnant women's self-monitoring and counting of fetal movements can help detect fetal hypoxia at an early stage. Specific method: The pregnant woman lies still for one hour in the morning, afternoon and evening respectively. The pregnant woman records the number of fetal movements in these three hours based on her subjective feeling, multiplies it by 4, and then records it as the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. If the fetal movement is found to be significantly different from the past, go to the hospital for examination in time.

3. Fetal heart rate monitoring: The loving husband puts his ear close to the pregnant woman's abdominal wall to listen to the fetal heart rate. The normal fetal heart rate should be greater than 120 beats/minute and less than 160 beats/minute. If the fetal heart rate is greater than 160 beats/minute, it is too fast, indicating mild hypoxia; if it is less than 120 beats/minute, it is too slow, and if it is less than 100 beats/minute, it is severe bradycardia, both of which indicate severe hypoxia. If the fetal heart rate is slow and irregular, it is more serious and should be treated in time.
