What to do if the fetus is small at four months of pregnancy

The size of the fetus is mainly related to factors such as genetics, the time of conception, and the nutritional supply of the mother. The fetus is small, we first consider that the nutrition of pregnant women has not kept up, pregnant women should adjust their diet structure in time, a comprehensive and reasonable diet, but do not make up for it, so as not to affect the development of the fetus due to overnutrition, and cause the fetus to be large.

Initiatives are proposed. The fetus is small, or it may be due to individual differences in the fetus, the reason for the slow development, as long as the fetal development is still within the normal and controllable range in the first trimester, pregnant women should not worry too much. Usually pay more attention to rest, eat more fruits and vegetables, and exercise properly.

Insist on regular check-ups at the hospital.

As the saying goes, "it is not easy to raise a child", but it is even more difficult to conceive a child, pregnant women are pregnant in October, pregnant women and mothers watch their bellies bulge little by little every day, and every activity under the belly of them affects the hearts of mothers, so, what should I do if the fetus of pregnant women is small?

Weight is a mandatory item for every pregnancy check-up. The growth of the fetus can be indirectly detected through the weight of the pregnant mother. Weight measurement is one of the important items of prenatal examination for pregnant women, and according to the change of maternal weight, it can reflect whether the growth and development of the pregnant woman and the fetus are normal or not.

If a pregnant woman's weight is severely out of control, it will have a certain impact on the delivery and the health of the fetus. If the pregnant woman is thin and sickly, then the normal growth and development of the fetus will inevitably be affected. On the contrary, if excessive nutrition causes pregnant women to be overweight, there are also disadvantages, in addition to excessive weight and inconvenience, it will also cause problems such as hypertension, macrosomia, dystocia, insufficient labor, and prolonged labor.

Using the weight of the first birth test as the benchmark for estimating future gestational weight, the weight of the pregnant woman increases significantly after pregnancy, and the weight of the pregnant woman increases significantly throughout pregnancy, with an increase of 10 to 13 kg throughout pregnancy. If there is no gain or weight gain is less than normal, it may be intrauterine growth retardation or malnutrition in the pregnant woman. If the weight gain is more than kilograms per week, it should be noted whether there is any abnormality, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause, the most common situation is obesity, polyhydramnios, pregnancy edema or multiple pregnancy caused by overnutrition in pregnant women.

In short, in addition to regular prenatal check-ups, pregnant women can self-monitor, such as measuring their blood pressure, paying attention to their usual urine output, checking whether there is edema in their lower limbs, etc., they can find abnormalities in time, so that doctors can deal with them as soon as possible and ensure the safety of the mother and child during pregnancy.

Fetal growth retardation is defined as a birth weight that is less than the tenth percentile or two standard deviations of the average weight for gestational age. If the gestational age reaches 37 weeks, the newborn is under weight, also known as intrauterine dysplasia. For high-risk pregnant women, early detection of diseases that affect fetal growth and development, such as hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, should be detected early, so that there is enough time to do so before the fetus is damaged**.

1. High-risk pregnant women should be examined early to detect diseases that affect fetal growth and development such as hypertensive diseases during pregnancy, so as to have enough time to carry out before the fetus is damaged.

2. Eliminate all factors that may cause fetal growth retardation: such as smoking, drug addiction, malnutrition or picky eating. Eat a high-protein diet to enhance nutrition.

3. Increase uterine blood flow, such as the left decubitus position.

4. Conduct fetal system monitoring, such as regular or weekly fetal heart rate monitoring or ultrasound. NST should be done at least once a week, and NST non-responsive patients should do OCT, and those with positive OST should terminate the pregnancy as appropriate; Ultrasound monitoring of amniotic fluid index or maximum depth of amniotic fluid pool, once a week.

5. Intermittent oxygen inhalation, 1h each time, 2 3 If a problem is found and needs to be induced as soon as possible, it should be carried out in a hospital with better medical conditions.

<> the reason for the small fetus renting a slippery beam, it can be done in this way.

As long as the fetal examination indicators are normal, there is no problem, and some fetuses are on the small side

"The fetus is small and the growth and development is restricted, mainly due to genetic factors, maternal factors, multiple births, as well as placental and umbilical cord factors, and the length and weight of the normal fetus should meet the average level of the same pregnancy. If both parents are short in stature, the fetus has certain genetic potential, and it is normal for the fetus to be underweight. If the mother is malnourished, picky eating, hypoglycemia, hyperemesis gravidarum during pregnancy, or has hypertension, kidney disease, heart disease, etc., it will cause insufficient blood flow to the fetus and weigh less than the average gestational week.

In the case of twins or multiple pregnancies, the growth and development of the fetus can be limited to a certain extent due to the limited volume of the uterine cavity, but there are generally no other comorbidities. Some placental lesions, such as a small placenta or thrombosis in the placenta, as well as a thin and long umbilical cord, can cause the fetus to take in insufficient nutrients and slow growth. ”

Pregnant mothers are always particularly worried about the health of the fetus in the womb, because each pregnant mother's body constitution is different, so the fetal development is also different, and the pregnant mother will inevitably be very worried when the fetus has problems. The most common problem is the small fetus, which is usually caused by malnutrition. So, what causes a small fetus?

Expectant mothers smoke and drink alcohol that affects fetal growth. Some expectant mothers also smoke and drink alcohol during pregnancy, and the harm of tobacco and alcohol will naturally be absorbed by the fetus, and the toxins will affect the growth of the fetus and even cause fetal malformations. Therefore, tobacco and alcohol are important factors in the development of low birth weight fetuses.

Abnormalities in the uterus and placenta cause the fetus to be too small. Uteroplacental abnormalities in expectant mothers can reduce the flow of blood in the placenta and uterus, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the fetus, which will affect the development of the fetus and endanger the life of the fetus in severe cases. Therefore, if a pregnant woman is found to have such a condition, she should go to the hospital immediately**.

The placenta and umbilical cord are important organs for the mother to transport nutrients and oxygen to the fetus, so if the placenta is not functioning well, or the umbilical cord is knotted, compressed, or even insufficient blood perfusion, it will affect the fetus's absorption of nutrients, further making weight gain unsatisfactory. Most of the possible factors that cause abnormal fetal development are congenital chromosomal abnormalities and special diseases, such as microcephaly associated with abnormal neural tube development, or short limbs and bone deformation caused by chromosomal abnormalities of other genes, which make fetal weight gain less ideal.

It is recommended that you go to the perinatal care department of the maternal and child health hospital to ask the obstetrician and gynecologist to calculate, and if necessary, compare the B-ultrasound, and be reasonable for the situation**. At the same time, pregnant women should be active appropriately, pay attention to strengthening nutrition, achieve balanced nutrition, regular check-ups, and maintain a good mood.

If it's too small, it's not a lot, it doesn't matter. Mom usually pays more attention to the balance of nutrition, does some exercise in moderation, and maintains a good mood. Of course, if it is much smaller, it is not good for the baby's health, which shows that her growth and development is not good, and some babies with small heads can easily affect their intelligence, so mothers still need to pay attention to nutritional intake when they are pregnant.

However, this is not to say that children with small heads are unhealthy, and some children are still very smart despite having a small double top diameter. When the fetus is full-term, his double parietal diameter is basically normal on the left and right, which is also more conducive to smooth delivery. If the double parietal diameter is above, the doctor will not recommend the pregnant woman to give birth naturally, which is very dangerous.

However, depending on the person's condition, some mothers have better pelvic conditions, even if the child's double parietal diameter is slightly larger, but you can also try to give birth naturally, and then if it is really not possible, then the operation will be carried out.

The double parietal diameter of the fetus is also directly related to the nutritional status, the double parietal diameter is small, which does not rule out the irregular menstruation, the current gestational age is inaccurate or the error in the measurement of B ultrasound. If there are no obvious developmental abnormalities, there is no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to pay attention to the rules of life and diet, pay attention to strengthening nutrition, eat more high-protein foods, and do regular physical examinations.
