What month of pregnancy is dangerous and the fetus is prone to umbilical cord torsion ?

Sometimes, expectant mothers always want to know, when can I just wait for the baby to come without worrying? After all, during pregnancy, there is always a fear that some of your actions will cause problems with the fetus, so be extra careful.

This kind of emotion is also more tormenting, making pregnant women worry and hurry every day. However, we need to know that pregnant women can only rest easy when they see that the child and themselves are safe after giving birth.

Pregnancy is 10 months, and there are some problems that can arise in each month, putting both the fetus and the pregnant woman at risk. Only when expectant mothers are more careful than usual during pregnancy can it be easier to get through this period smoothly.

Take the sixth month of pregnancy as an example, the fetus is prone to umbilical cord torsion, and expectant mothers dare not ignore it.

Xiaoli is the same, a few days ago, she always felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and she didn't think it was a fetal problem when she thought about it. In the end, my husband found that when he interacted with the fetus recently, there was basically no movement, and the two were a little worried.

When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that the fetus had been stopped, and I had induced labor for a long time. After the child was born, it was found that the umbilical cord had been twisted more than a dozen times, which was very pitiful, and Xiaoli cried bitterly. The doctor can't do anything about this, but says that expectant mothers must pay attention during pregnancy and beware of fetal arrest.

When it comes to umbilical cord torsion, some people may not know, but when it comes to umbilical cord twisting, most expectant mothers know. In fact, umbilical cord torsion is more exaggerated than umbilical cord around the neck, because it will reduce the supply of nutrients, the blood vessels will become distorted, and the blood circulation will also be blocked, resulting in fetal arrest.

Under normal circumstances, if the month of discovery is relatively early, the fetus has not yet fully formed, and the baby can only be missed at this time. If it is found in the third trimester, the doctor will determine whether the caesarean section can be removed based on clinical experience.

However, in any case, we should not pin our hopes on time, and prevention is the most important thing in our daily life. So, what is the cause of umbilical cord torsion?

Some expectant mothers like to stay up late, and staying up late for a long time breaks their own biological clock, and the biological clock of the fetus is also broken. So, for the fetus, the activity time is longer. In the mother's belly, she can only play with the umbilical cord, and she will inevitably suffer.

There are also some expectant mothers, who have a strong talent for sports and can't stop all the time. For the fetus, the fetus will also exercise vigorously during the mother's exercise, and too strong movement will cause the umbilical cord to twist.

Therefore, in the third trimester, these habits of staying up late and doing strenuous activities must be corrected! If you find that the fetus is abnormal, such as unbearable pain, frequent or no fetal movements, it is necessary to check.

Of course, not everyone will experience umbilical cord torsion, and the proportion is still very small. Everyone should follow the above taboos and take good care of them during pregnancy!

Pregnancy is most dangerous at seven or eight months, because this is the time when the baby's fetal movements are most frequent and active, so it is easy to "umbilical cord torsion".

I think it's usually before three months, when the fetus is not yet formed, which can easily lead to this situation.

Mainly in the third trimester of six months to eight months, the fetus is prone to umbilical cord around the neck during these months, so pregnant women should pay attention not to touch the belly, let alone touch the belly often.

Umbilical cord torsion is a type of umbilical cord abnormality and is relatively rare. Fetal activity can make the normal umbilical cord spiral, that is, the umbilical cord is twisted along its longitudinal axis, physiological torsion can reach six to eleven weeks, the umbilical cord is excessively twisted in the close fetal umbilical chakra, tapered into lock-like necrosis, causing vascular occlusion or thrombosis, and the fetus can die due to blood interruption.

The reason for this is not yet clear. It is generally considered that because the fetus will move on its own in the womb, there is a certain degree of torsion of the umbilical cord itself under normal circumstances, but once the degree of torsion is severe enough to obstruct the blood flow of the umbilical cord, the fetus will soon be stillborn.

The location of umbilical cord torsion is mostly close to the fetus body, and the diameter of the blood vessels at the torsion is reduced, and there is a lack of gelatinous material to wrap it, and umbilical cord torsion is a sudden accident. The true cause of the torsion is currently unknown.

Yes, umbilical cord torsion can quickly lose the life of the fetus; It is mainly caused by poor eating habits, lifestyle habits and strong exercise of pregnant women.

It's not going to die. Umbilical cord torsion is caused by the baby moving around in the tummy. But as long as the umbilical cord does not wrap around the baby's neck, it will not be life-threatening.

We all know that during pregnancy, the fetus will also be nourished from the mother's body through the umbilical cord and grow up. In the process of normal fetal development, a small number of fetuses will have umbilical cord torsion, which is a relatively rare phenomenon. So what causes umbilical cord torsion?

Let's take a closer look!

1. The fetus only turns to one direction Generally, our fetus will use the umbilical cord as a toy in the mother's belly, and it will turn this side and turn it around, so the umbilical cord is often twisted a few times and then turned back, which is harmless, but if it has been turned in one direction, it may cause excessive twisting.

2. Maternal hypertension during pregnancy Maternal hypertension will cause abnormal blood flow in the umbilical artery of the fetus, causing the umbilical cord to twist and cause hypoxia.

3. Mother's hyperlipidemia The fetal umbilical cord is bleeding mother's blood, and the mother has high blood lipids, so the blood viscosity will increase and cause fetal umbilical cord abnormalities.

4. Abnormal antiphospholipid antibodies Liu Xiangyuan, director of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, once said: Many doctors think that umbilical cord torsion leads to intrauterine fetal death as an occasional event, but we found that about 80% of such patients have abnormal antiphospholipid antibodies - anti-annexin A5 and A2 antibodies that are not routinely tested, and the abnormalities of these antibodies may be related to umbilical cord torsion, and the recurrence of umbilical cord torsion can be avoided by **.

If the umbilical cord is twisted, if it is only 6-11 turns, the general problem is not big, but after 12 weeks, the problem is big, this transportation channel will be blocked, and the child will have hypoxia or even fetal arrest.

On April 1, April 18, April Fool's Day, a pregnant woman in Huaihua had a stomachache and a weakened fetal heart rate and came to the hospital for examination and B ultrasound, showing that the baby's umbilical cord was around the neck, and when the fetal heart rate was monitored, the fetal heart rate suddenly dropped, and the fetus was found to have intrauterine hypoxia, and it was immediately emergency cesarean section.

Fortunately, I had a caesarean section in time, and when I took out the baby, I found that the naughty baby twisted the umbilical cord into a long Tianjin twist, counting as many as 35 times. The color has turned purple near the navel of the newborn.

Therefore, the most direct injury of umbilical cord torsion is hypoxia, if it is not detected in time, there will be fetal arrest in the second trimester, and the fetus that has matured in the third trimester is stillborn.

The umbilical cord is actually a means of transportation, the umbilical cord is a cord-like tissue connected between the embryo and the placenta, there will be amniotic membranes outside, and there are umbilical arteries and umbilical veins inside, two umbilical veins transport the embryonic blood to the placental villi, and an umbilical vein will collect the blood collected by the placental villi and send it back to the fetal villi capillaries.

The umbilical cord carries oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and also helps the fetus flush out unwanted waste products.

Pregnant women must have regular prenatal check-ups after pregnancy, so that they can keep abreast of the health status of the fetus. Especially after the third trimester, it is important to pay close attention to the condition of the fetus, because umbilical cord torsion can occur in the third trimester. Umbilical cord torsion can directly lead to fetal death.

In fact, the umbilical cord itself is spiral-shaped, and there is a physiological twist. When the fetus is moving, the umbilical cord will be twisted to a certain extent according to the longitudinal axis of its spiral, and the normal physiological twist will not exceed 6-11 weeks. Usually the doctor refers to the abnormal twist of the umbilical cord, abnormal twist is a sudden accident, so the chance is very small, pregnant women should not be too worried.

Abnormal umbilical cord torsion can lead to fetal death, which usually occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy, almost always close to the due date. Abnormal torsion of the umbilical cord can cause occlusion of the blood vessels connecting the mother to the fetus, and the fetus will die due to the interruption of blood transport and lack of oxygen.

Umbilical cord torsion can not be detected in advance by color ultrasound, can only be determined by checking the health status of the fetus, if the fetal development standard increases abnormally during the prenatal examination, or the fetal heartbeat is abnormal, pregnant women should be careful. Be sure to go to the hospital in time for fetal heart rate monitoring to avoid the risk of accidents.

There is no signal, the pregnant mother can find out whether the umbilical cord is twisted by going to the hospital for B ultrasound, and the baby will generally be twisted in the early stage, so there is no need to worry

When the fetus has umbilical cord torsion, the mother will feel abnormal fetal movements, monitor and find abnormal fetal heart rate, and go to the hospital for examination may also find fetal growth retardation or stagnation. Umbilical cord blood flow may also be abnormal.

The umbilical cord twist in the belly, what causes such a situation?

1. The baby's umbilical cord blood vessels develop rapidly.

If the umbilical cord blood vessels in the umbilical cord develop rapidly, it is easy to cause the umbilical cord to twist into a spiral shape, which will lead to the phenomenon of umbilical cord twisting.

2. The baby in the pregnant mother's womb has a large range of motion and many paths.

If the baby in the womb of a pregnant mother has a large range of movement in the womb, and the road of movement is more and more complicated, it is likely to kick or roll all the time. This may cause the pregnant mother to move more, and even cause the umbilical cord to twist.

According to many medical books, the baby in the womb can turn about 11 times, and when the baby moves, the pregnant mother does not know at all. It can only be seen through some professional medical equipment and means.

So, what should pregnant mothers pay attention to when they are pregnant with their second child?

Although medical research is very in-depth, the cause of umbilical cord torsion cannot be explained and explained to pregnant mothers well. However, most of the cases are related to the length of the umbilical cord or the development of the fetus in the womb.

1. Pregnant mothers must eat well and have balanced nutrition.

Because the baby in the womb is based on what the mother knows to absorb nutrients, so if the pregnant mother usually eats unhealthy and unhygienic, or eats a lot of spicy things, it will affect the development of the baby in the womb. Eventually, it may lead to a further increase in his range of motion in the stomach, and the probability of umbilical cord torsion will also increase a lot.

2. Pregnant mothers should not stay up late, but go to bed early and get up early.

If a pregnant mother often stays up late for work or other reasons, her body may be very uncomfortable. The baby in the womb will also keep "rebelling" in the womb because of the mother's discomfort. Therefore, pregnant mothers should not look at their mobile phones until late after pregnancy, but should go to bed early and get up early.

This is not only good for itself, but also good for the development of the baby in the womb.

3. Pregnant mothers should not always touch their belly when they are pregnant.

If the pregnant mother really wants to touch the baby in her belly when she is pregnant, she must follow a certain direction clockwise or counterclockwise, and cannot touch it at will. Otherwise, if the baby in the belly feels it, it will keep moving. Eventually, the umbilical cord is torsioned.

From the above, it can be known that fetal umbilical cord torsion is actually not terrible. If this really happens, the pregnant mother must figure out what caused it, and then pay attention to it when she is pregnant next time.

After pregnancy, expectant mothers often do these 3 things, which can effectively avoid the fetal umbilical cord around the neck.

Fetal umbilical cord torsion is mostly caused by too much fetal movement. It is generally unpreventable and **, but it usually occurs in the third trimester. At this time, pregnant mothers should pay attention to fetal movements, and take measures in time if there is any abnormality to prevent fetal hypoxia.

It is caused by a pregnant woman who only lies down and sits for a long time. Walk more often after eating, at least 2 hours a day.

Fetal umbilical cord torsion is because the baby's umbilical cord blood vessels develop rapidly, which can easily cause the umbilical cord to twist into a spiral shape. To avoid umbilical cord torsion, mothers should eat a reasonable and healthy diet, which will help the development of children, and mothers should not always touch the belly, they must follow a certain direction clockwise or counterclockwise, and cannot touch them at will.
