How pregnant mothers can prevent the fetal umbilical cord from wrapping around the neck

　　During pregnancy, fetus exist Uterus The position of the fetus is constantly changing, and if the umbilical cord wraps around the fetal neck, it may be fatal. To prevent accidents, how to avoid fetal Umbilical cord around neck ? This is the issue that many pregnant mothers are most concerned about. Let’s take a look at it together:

　　First, the reason

　　The fetus is not honest in the mother's body. It rolls around in the uterus, which is not very large, and moves frequently. Each baby has different characteristics. Some babies move more gently, while some babies move more widely and especially like to exercise. He moves and plays in the mother's womb, moves his arms, stretches his legs, and turns in circles. At this time, the umbilical cord may become entangled.

　　Second, harm

　　The umbilical cord around the neck is a high-risk pregnancy and can cause intrauterine distress to the fetus at any time. It is very dangerous for the fetus if the umbilical cord is entangled in many places during the third trimester of pregnancy. Tighter entanglements can affect the passage of umbilical cord blood flow, thereby affecting the metabolism of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the fetus, causing fetal abnormalities. heart rate Slowing down, in severe cases, fetal hypoxia may occur, or even fetal death.

　　The result of umbilical cord entanglement is similar to 'hanging'. The impact on the fetus is related to the number of weeks and tightness of the entanglement, the length of the umbilical cord, and the amount of amniotic fluid. It is also related to whether labor is imminent. Pro Postpartum , delivery with the fetal head downward will cause the umbilical cord that was originally loosely wound to gradually tighten.

　　Generally speaking, fetuses whose umbilical cord is wrapped around the umbilical cord for a week or the umbilical cord is placed around the neck will not be affected because the umbilical cord is entangled and compressed to a lesser degree. clinical Symptomatic, this kind of entanglement is not very dangerous to the mother and baby, and the mother can still give birth successfully through the vagina. Even if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, due to the small mobility of the fetal head, as long as the umbilical cord is not tightened, there is usually no harm to the fetus. healthy . During pregnancy, if the umbilical cord is found to be entangled, as long as the fetus continues to move, the pregnant woman does not need to worry too much.

　　However, for fetuses with many entanglements and severe compression, the umbilical cord entanglement can cause the umbilical cord to be relatively short. If the umbilical cord is tightly entangled, it will affect the umbilical cord blood flow. First, it will affect the metabolism of fetal oxygen and carbon dioxide, causing the fetus to have a slow heart rate.； In severe cases, fetal hypoxia or even fetal death may occur, and treatment is more passive and difficult.
