What discomfort do pregnant women with stillbirth feel

Pregnancy is a very difficult thing, and there are many taboos. Many pregnant women are very careful and cautious during pregnancy, for fear of affecting the health of the fetus. However, some pregnant women experienced stillbirth, which is very unfortunate. In fact, pregnant women with stillbirth will experience certain symptoms, such as general fatigue, loss of appetite and other discomforts. It is recommended that pregnant women pay attention to their own health at all times.

What is stillbirth?

Stillbirth refers to the death of a fetus in the uterus after 20 weeks of pregnancy. If this phenomenon of fetal death in utero is not treated in time, it will often cause great physical and psychological harm to women. What are the symptoms of fetal death? After the death of the fetus, pregnant women may generally experience a series of obvious symptoms of stillbirth, such as the cessation of fetal movement and disappearance of breast swelling.

What discomfort does a pregnant woman with stillbirth have?

Clinically, more than half of stillbirths are caused by fetal hypoxia, which is caused by placental factors, fetal factors, maternal factors, local uterine factors, etc. What are the symptoms of stillbirth? When a pregnant woman experiences symptoms of stillbirth, such as cessation of fetal movement and disappearance of breast swelling, she should go to the hospital for examination in time. If the examination finds that the uterus is no longer increasing, the weight is decreasing, and the fetal heart rate has disappeared, the possibility of stillbirth may be considered. Most dead fetuses can be expelled on their own. If they are not expelled within 3 weeks after death, serious symptoms of dead fetus may appear, such as general fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, heavy bleeding, etc. At this time, the degenerated placenta and amniotic fluid will release thromboplastin, which can cause disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) if it enters the maternal blood circulation.

What should you pay attention to after a stillbirth?

Stillbirth occurs due to various reasons after pregnancy, which is something that all expectant mothers and fathers do not want to experience, but things are unpredictable. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter the problem of stillbirth during pregnancy, it is no use being sad. What we can do is to understand clearly what to pay attention to after stillbirth during pregnancy to prevent secondary damage to the bodies of female friends.

1. Some people can have a complete miscarriage on their own after fetal development stops, and there is no need for a curettage to remove the dead fetus, but this situation is relatively rare. Doctors recommend hospitalization for curettage and dilation for most women after fetal arrest, because curettage and dilation surgery to remove the dead fetus is likely to cause heavy bleeding after the operation, so hospitalization and observation for a period of time is necessary.

2. After the dead fetus is removed, female friends should adjust their emotions. Excessive sadness is not conducive to physical recovery.

3. It is important to understand the cause of stillbirth during pregnancy to prevent the same situation from occurring again during pregnancy. If the cause cannot be found, future pregnancies should be treated with caution and blindly preserving the fetus is not advisable. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations one month after the abortion and within 3-7 days after the menstruation ends.

4. If you want to get pregnant again, the doctor recommends that you wait one year before getting pregnant again, because the endometrium will be damaged to varying degrees during the uterine curettage operation, and a recovery process is needed after the operation. If you get pregnant again too early, the endometrium has not yet fully recovered, and it is difficult to maintain the implantation and development of the fertilized egg, which can easily cause miscarriage.
