Talk about the heartache of abortion

Fetal arrest is a painful thing that every pregnant mother does not want to face. I finally became a mother, and I was told that the baby had stopped before I enjoyed it. This is an unacceptable blow to expectant mothers during pregnancy, especially those who are pregnant for the first time.

Indeed, the expectant mother was suddenly told that her baby died in the womb, which was a huge blow to everyone.

This also made Yaya's mother realize that it's time to talk to you about embryo abortion!

Embryo abortion is called missed abortion in medicine, also known as expired abortion. It is a special type of spontaneous abortion, which usually occurs in the early pregnancy.

Although fetal arrest has brought great pain to expectant mothers and the whole family, it may not be a good thing to think about it from another angle.

Because fetal arrest is mostly due to embryonic problems, this situation may bring more serious consequences.

So, what are the reasons for fetal arrest? Let Mama Ya take you to find out!

1 chromosome abnormality

Chromosome abnormality is the most common cause, which will lead to embryonic hypoplasia, including quantitative abnormality and structural abnormality.

2 Genital malformation

Uterine malformations and uterine space-occupying lesions, such as intrauterine adhesions and uterine adenomyomas, will affect embryo development.

3 immune factors

The embryo or fetus in the uterus is an allograft, which is a combination of parents' genetic material. Therefore, it is impossible to be exactly the same as the mother, and anti-reproductive immune antibodies are also closely related to it.

4 endocrine disorders

Endocrine disorders include human chorionic gonadotropin, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen, androgen and thyroxine.

Systemic diseases and reproductive tract infections

Diseases such as blood, circulation and urinary system of expectant mothers may also affect embryo development.

The main pathogens are TORCH infection, chlamydia trachomatis, ureaplasma urealyticum, human parvovirus B 19, Treponema pallidum and so on.

6 environmental factors

Expectant mothers are very sensitive to the influence of drugs and environmental factors in the early pregnancy. Excessive exposure to harmful factors such as radioactive substances and chemicals can lead to embryo damage.

How to judge whether the fetus stops?

When the expectant mother is pregnant for 6 ~8 weeks, if it is found that the early pregnancy reactions such as morning sickness and nausea disappear and the feeling of breast pain is not obvious, it is necessary to be vigilant, because these may be the early symptoms of fetal cessation.

Diagnosis can be made by color Doppler ultrasound, focusing on the size, shape, embryo and primitive heart beat of fetal sac.

At 6 weeks of normal pregnancy, yolk sac can be seen by color Doppler ultrasound. At the seventh week of pregnancy, in addition to the yolk sac, germs and primitive heart ducts can be seen.

Embryo abortion can be considered under the following circumstances:

There is no gestational sac after 6 weeks of embryo development.

Although there is a gestational sac, it is deformed and atrophied.

When the gestational sac is 4cm, no germ can be seen.

The head and arm length of the embryo is 1.5cm, but there is no heartbeat.

What should I do after the abortion?

Once the expectant mother is diagnosed with fetal arrest, she should actively cooperate with the doctor to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible. Once the fetus stops developing and the fetal heart disappears, there is no need to protect the fetus.

Moreover, the embryo will release some substances after abortion, which will lead to abnormal coagulation function of the mother.

For expectant mothers whose embryos are not naturally discharged, if the pregnant tissue in the uterine cavity is not taken out in time, it may also cause serious consequences such as massive bleeding or incomplete abortion.

Once the embryos that have not been discharged for a long time are muscular and want to be cleaned, the trauma to the endometrium will be very great, which will directly affect the future pregnancy.

How to prevent fetal arrest?

1

Active pregnancy preparation

Expectant mothers should pay attention to pre-pregnancy physical examination, take active exercise and have a balanced diet to provide a healthy environment for their babies.

2

Keep a good mood

Excessive tension and anxiety can lead to endocrine disorders of expectant mothers, which is not conducive to the baby's development. Especially for expectant mothers who are pregnant for the first time, relax and don't be nervous.

three

Timely physical examination

Will fetal arrest affect the next pregnancy?

Although fetal arrest is more common, embryo abortion does not mean anything, but an accident.

Therefore, expectant mothers should not worry, and the success rate of getting pregnant again is still relatively high.

If the expectant mother stops the pregnancy for more than two times in a row, then it is necessary to find out the reasons for the abortion in order to prescribe the right medicine.

Although there is no way to completely avoid fetal arrest at the current medical level, expectant mothers can prevent it by giving birth check-ups on time and observing physical changes.
