What s going on with the fetal abdominal circumference getting smaller and smaller

The presence of intrauterine growth restriction is considered for fetal abdominal circumference, which is divided into intrinsic and extrinsic growth restriction. The intrinsic type is the early stage of fetal development due to some genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, viral infections and exposure to some toxic and harmful substances, resulting in fetal growth restriction, which is the fetal symmetry is small. The other is extrinsic and uneven fetal growth restriction, which is secondary to some diseases during pregnancy, such as gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, etc., which cause fetal growth retardation in the late stages of pregnancy.

It is necessary to actively look for the cause, which is caused by increased blood pressure, and it is necessary to actively control blood pressure, and also actively control blood sugar to avoid fetal growth restriction in the later stage.

Fetal abdominal circumference is an important indicator to evaluate the physical development of the fetus, due to the influence of genetic factors, nutritional factors during pregnancy, the same pregnancy month, different babies abdominal circumference is not exactly the same, will always fluctuate within a certain range. The factors that affect the size of the baby's abdominal circumference are mainly the thickness of the baby's subcutaneous fat layer. The general examination process shows that the baby's abdominal circumference is small, which is mostly caused by the baby's emaciation and thin subcutaneous fat.

If all other indicators are normal, the simple small abdominal circumference is not a big problem. Pregnant women should pay attention to increasing the intake of various nutrients, drink more fish soup, chicken soup, mutton soup, etc., and eat more meat appropriately.

The fetus develops slowly in the pregnant mother's belly, and the various indicators of its body, if it does not reach the standard, it shows that the fetus may have some small conditions, and the fetal abdominal circumference is a standard for the development of the abdomen. The standard of his abdominal circumference also shows the condition of the fetus's abdomen, but sometimes there are some conditions that the fetus has a large or small abdominal circumference. So, then, what are the reasons for the small abdominal circumference of the fetus?

If the fetus's abdominal circumference is on the small side, then the problem is not very big and there is no need to worry too much. However, blood sugar still needs to be controlled. In addition to eating small and frequent meals, do not sit for long periods of time, and can do appropriate activities and walks.

Eat less sugary foods in your diet. It can be a staple food based on coarse grains. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.

This situation is related to the child's poor gastrointestinal function, as long as the child is given some lactase to help digest the child's nutrition will gradually improve, there should be no major problem, you eat more lean meat, drink more milk, nutrition is comprehensive, and slowly raise it, don't worry too much. The baby is a slender figure in the belly, this is not a bad thing, there is no need to worry, the baby's small abdominal circumference has nothing to do with your snacks and meals, if the baby is always 3 weeks younger, it is normal. Supplement more nutrients, the last month or more is when the baby grows meat.

It is the period when adults and babies gain the fastest weight. Be sure to pay attention to supplementing nutrition, but also calcium supplementation, until the baby is born.

Fetal abdominal circumference is small Pregnant women have poor placental function, nutrition is absorbed by adults, nutrition can not be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, therefore, the fetus can not absorb nutrients, resulting in small, no matter how to make up for the effect, first of all, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, and then make plans. The fetus is too small to give birth, but if it is too small, it will affect his resistance and ability to adapt to changes in the external environment.

Systematic ultrasound is currently the most common technique in obstetrics, and in order to ensure the needs of eugenics, expectant mothers must do systematic ultrasound. The system B-ultrasound is the use of high-resolution color Doppler blood flow imaging instrument to systematically examine the whole body of the fetus, including single-chamber heart, anencephaly, severe thoracic and abdominal wall defects, several visceral valgus, fatal chondrodysplasia, severe open spina bifida, severe encephalocele, cardiac blood flow model and other serious body structural malformations.

B-ultrasound can also accurately determine whether there is ascites in the abdominal cavity, even a small amount of ascites can be measured with B-ultrasound, can detect the swollen lymph nodes of more than 1 cm in the abdomen and pelvis, can observe the contraction of the gallbladder, and make a judgment on gallbladder function. It is worth mentioning that B-ultrasound has a high diagnostic rate for the identification of gallbladder and biliary tract or urinary stones, jaundice, parenchymal and cystic masses.

Ultrasound examination is an important item of pregnancy examination, ultrasound examination should be carried out after 1 month of pregnancy, and the data on the ultrasound sheet can help doctors observe and find out whether the fetal body structure is abnormal, determine the size of the fetus and the actual number of weeks of pregnancy. B-ultrasound is the use of ultrasound conduction to detect the fetus, which will not produce ionizing radiation and electromagnetic radiation, and will not adversely affect the fetus.

The advanced equipment and instruments of the hospital are used for testing. It is possible to know whether the fetus is developing healthily. This is not to be overlooked, for the health of the baby.

If there is a problem in the inspection, it should be corrected as soon as possible, and the damage should be detected as soon as possible, so as to minimize the damage. Some pregnant women may have a small abdominal circumference, let's take a look at whether a small lower abdominal circumference will have adverse effects on the fetus. SoWill a fetus with a small abdominal circumference be small?

There are many reasons why the fetus is too small, and if the adult is malnourished, it will directly affect the fetus.

Adults absorb nutrients very well, but the fetus is small for many reasons. One of them is that the placenta function is not good, the nutrients are absorbed by adults, and the nutrients cannot be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, so the fetus cannot absorb the nutrients, resulting in a small size, no matter how to supplement it, there is no effect. Therefore, first of all, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and then make plans.

The fetus is too small to give birth, if it is too small, it will affect his resistance and ability to adapt to changes in the external environment. Generally, a normal baby is able to be with his mother when he is born.

Abdominal circumference is measured from 16 weeks of pregnancy, and the abdominal circumference is measured in an upright position, which is based on the navel, and the measured value is the abdominal circumference.

Abdominal circumference increases by centimeters per week on average. Pregnancy 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy saw the fastest growth; After 34 weeks of pregnancy, the growth rate of abdominal circumference slows down. If abdominal circumference measured at 16 weeks' gestation is used as a base, the average increase is 21 cm at term.

When the growth is not at the same rate, it usually causes worry and confusion for pregnant women. In fact, the growth of abdominal circumference is not exactly the same for every pregnant woman. This is because:

1) When you are not pregnant, everyone is fat and thin, and the abdominal circumference is also different.

2) The increase in abdominal circumference after pregnancy is not only caused by the enlargement of the fetus and uterus, but also by the pregnant woman herself.

3) Some pregnant women have pregnancy reactions, eating is not very good, and the increase in abdominal circumference in the early stage is not obvious. Wait for the reaction to disappear and the appetite increases.

4) Some pregnant women gain weight rapidly after pregnancy, and the subcutaneous fat in the abdomen thickens rapidly, not only the waist circumference increases, but the abdominal circumference also increases faster than others.

5) Some pregnant women have obvious water and sodium retention, which will increase the abdominal circumference significantly.

Therefore, measuring the growth of the uterus and fetus based solely on the growth of abdominal circumference is limited and one-sided, and should be comprehensively analyzed in combination with other examinations.
