What is the effect of high umbilical cord blood flow on the fetus?

Pregnancy is something that deserves great attention. It not only affects the physical condition of women but also the development of the fetus. If you want to understand the development of the fetus, you need to take some measures to check. Umbilical cord blood flow is a very important examination factor. Sometimes it is found that the umbilical cord blood flow is high. So does the high umbilical cord blood flow have any impact on the fetus?

High umbilical cord blood flow can cause great damage to the baby's umbilical cord. We hope that mothers should take timely care measures according to the doctor's advice to avoid umbilical cord infection. Generally, if we encounter high umbilical cord blood flow in our daily life, we can control the blood flow to reduce the high umbilical cord blood flow, but we should be careful not to harm the child's development.

Checking the umbilical cord blood flow can determine whether the fetus has intrauterine growth retardation, whether there is a tendency for pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, and whether the fetus has intrauterine hypoxia. Umbilical cord blood flow may sometimes show abnormalities due to fetal chromosomal abnormalities, congenital malformations, etc. Abnormal umbilical cord blood flow may also be related to developmental defects and histological abnormalities of the placenta.

When the peripheral impedance of the circulation increases, the S/D ratio shows an increase. The impact of excessive umbilical cord blood flow is just like the situation you asked about, which mainly affects the oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus. Pregnant women need to pay attention to regular prenatal examinations, do a good job of self-monitoring, and monitor fetal movements. Get enough rest, avoid overwork, and eat a balanced diet. Try to lie on your left side and pay attention to changes in fetal movement and heart rate. Whether oxygen is needed is mainly determined by checking whether the baby is suffering from hypoxia. If hypoxia occurs, oxygen should be given in time.

During diastole, blood flow is decelerated mainly by the effect of peripheral circulatory impedance. The greater the peripheral circulatory impedance, the greater the blood flow deceleration, the greater the decrease in blood flow velocity during diastole, and the greater the amplitude of blood flow velocity change during the entire cardiac cycle. Therefore, the S/D ratio will increase significantly. The S/D ratio reflects the peripheral impedance of the distal circulation of the measured artery. When the impedance of the loop end increases, the S/D ratio increases.

When a child has high umbilical cord blood flow during the development stage, mothers should pay attention to balancing their mentality and try to go out for more walks, so as to reduce the blood flow in the child's umbilical cord. Because high umbilical cord blood flow during the child's development in the mother's body may cause fetal hypoxia, or even severe stillbirth.
