Why does the fetus stop growing during pregnancy

If a pregnant woman's fetus suddenly stops growing during pregnancy, it may be because the fetus is malnourished and has developmental delay, or it may be because the fetus died due to lack of oxygen. We should use B-ultrasound to check the fetal development clearly. If the fetus is stillborn, we should perform an abortion to expel the dead fetus from the body, otherwise it will affect the normal function of the female friend's uterus and affect the next pregnancy.

What's wrong with the late fetus?

If the fetus has not developed for one month in the late pregnancy, it can be determined that the fetus has developmental retardation. This situation indicates that the fetus is suffering from fetal hypoxia. You can check your specific gestational age and intermittently inhale oxygen at regular times every day. If necessary, you can consider using nutritional drugs. If the placental function has aged, termination of pregnancy should be considered. In the late stages of pregnancy, the growth rate of the fetus will slow down compared to before, but if it is too slow, it is generally related to maternal malnutrition. You can eat some maternal milk powder and high-protein food. If the placenta is immature, labor cannot be induced.

In the late pregnancy, the biparietal diameter and femur length grow relatively slowly, not as fast as in the second pregnancy. Relatively speaking, the growth rate of fetal fat and muscle in the late pregnancy is relatively fast, so eat properly. At 39 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus's femur is relatively short, which may be due to poor nutrient absorption by the fetus or genetic factors. At this time, the placenta is 3 degrees mature, and the nutrition supplied to the fetus by the mother through the placenta will be reduced. In this case, you can choose to terminate the pregnancy or give birth early. It is possible to give birth after 38 weeks of pregnancy.

In your case, you can choose a caesarean section at this time, and just pay attention to the growth and development of the baby after it is born. The baby's growth is fastest at 4-5 months. The baby will also grow larger in the later period, but at a slower pace. You may need to have regular prenatal check-ups and also take care to protect yourself. If this situation occurs, it is usually because it grows faster in the early stage and generally does not grow in the later stage, so don't worry. As long as the prenatal check-up is normal, there is no need to worry about other things. It is better to get more rest. Generally, the growth will be less in the later stages. Check to see if it matches the gestational age. It is recommended to self-test fetal movement every day, strictly prohibit sexual intercourse, and get enough rest and diet.
