First pregnancy was healthy, second pregnancy was delayed twice

If the first child is healthy but the second child stops growing, it is a problem with the development of the fetus itself. This may be related to bacterial infection, chromosomal abnormalities, uterine lesions, or environmental factors, which may lead to fetal growth arrest. It is recommended to do a careful pre-pregnancy check before preparing for pregnancy and make adjustments based on the results of the check-up. Expectant mothers need to learn to monitor whether the embryo is developing normally through fetal movement.

This condition in women is mainly related to reproductive infections, chromosomal abnormalities, uterine lesions, environmental factors, etc. If embryonic arrest occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital's eugenics clinic for a pre-pregnancy check-up before getting pregnant again, make adjustments based on the test results, take folic acid at the same time, avoid the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, and stay away from harmful substances.

Early pregnancy (see hcg value)

During the 1st to 3rd week of pregnancy, the hcg value in the pregnant mother's body will show obvious changes. If the fetus develops normally, the hCG level will increase rapidly in geometric multiples and reach its peak at eight weeks of pregnancy (hCG can rise to 2500IU/L 35-50 days after pregnancy. It can reach 80,000IU/L 60-70 days). It will then slowly begin to decrease, usually reaching a moderate level by the fourth month of pregnancy.

If a pregnant mother finds that the hCG value increases very slowly in two consecutive tests in the early pregnancy, or the value is positive, she should be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In addition, if the hcg value is found to drop significantly during the period when it should be increasing, it indicates that there is an abnormality in the development of the fetus.

A slow growth rate may lead to developmental delay, but a fast growth rate is not a good thing either. If a pregnant mother finds that hcg is significantly elevated, even as high as 100,000 to millions of IU/L, she should be alert to problems such as hydatidiform mole.

In addition, pregnant mothers should also pay special attention to the color and properties of secretions. If you find that your leucorrhea is mixed with yellowish brown or brown and it does not change for several days. It should be taken seriously, especially if accompanied by abdominal pain. This is not a normal phenomenon but an abnormal pathology. It is best to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid threatened abortion.

Mid- to late-pregnancy (whether fetal movement is abnormal)

Some people say that normal fetal movement is a letter from the fetus to the pregnant mother to report safety. This is because fetal movement is the most intuitive feeling of the pregnant mother about the development of the fetus. Generally, as long as the pregnant mother finds that the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and does not change much. This means that the placenta is functioning well, the fetus is not suffering from oxygen deprivation, is developing normally in the mother's womb, and is living a happy life.

However, when fetal movement is abnormal, such as suddenly moving very frequently and then gradually decreasing. This indicates that the fetus is in danger, such as the umbilical cord around the neck, insufficient placental function, etc. causing fetal hypoxia. Pregnant mothers need to go to the hospital immediately for fetal heart monitoring and other examinations.

Of course, the results of each examination during pregnancy, especially Down syndrome screening, four-dimensional color ultrasound, and sugar screening, are also very important.
