What to do if the fetal umbilical cord blood flow is high

When female comrades learn that they are pregnant, they will definitely feel happy, because it means that the woman is going to bring a new life to her family and she is going to become a mother. Of course, after a woman becomes pregnant, she will pay great attention to the fetus in her belly and will undergo various examinations to determine whether the fetus is healthy. Umbilical cord blood flow is a very important value. So what should we do if the fetal umbilical cord blood flow is too high?

What to do if the fetal umbilical cord blood flow is high

During the prenatal check-up in the late pregnancy, if the doctor tells that the umbilical cord blood flow is high, expectant mothers must not be too nervous at this time. They must listen to the doctor's advice calmly, do a good job of self-monitoring, and go for regular check-ups. Of course, you also need to pay more attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and eat a light diet. You can also listen to the fetal heart rate and observe fetal movements at home frequently to avoid dangerous situations. If the level is still high after reexamination, it may be a sign of fetal hypoxia in the womb. The doctor will tell the expectant mother whether she needs oxygen based on the situation. As long as she follows the doctor's advice, there will be no major problems.

Abnormal umbilical blood flow is one of the indicators to determine the severity of the umbilical cord around the neck. If the umbilical cord blood flow abnormality is serious and no timely intervention or improvement is given, the end-diastolic blood flow of the umbilical artery will gradually be interrupted or inverted, which means that the fetal hypoxia is more serious. If it develops further, it will affect the abnormal blood flow parameters of the fetal middle cerebral artery, and the severity of hypoxia will be gradual. Every B-ultrasound examination will check whether there is an umbilical cord around the neck and whether the umbilical cord blood flow is abnormal.

What causes high umbilical cord blood flow?

Many expectant mothers are having a baby for the first time and are not very clear about the reasons for the high umbilical cord blood flow. Let me explain it here. Umbilical cord blood flow is a non-invasive test to monitor placental circulation. It is used to understand the growth of the fetus in the mother's body and pregnancy-induced hypertension. If the umbilical cord blood flow is high, the possibility of fetal intrauterine hypoxia is very high. If timely measures are not taken, it may cause certain dangers. It is recommended to do more fetal heart monitoring, observe fetal movements, and pay attention to rest.

Prenatal check-ups are still very necessary. It is recommended that every expectant mother should go for regular check-ups on time. If the fetal umbilical cord blood flow is found to be high, there is no need to worry or be nervous. As long as you follow the doctor's instructions, there will generally be no dangerous situation. Expectant mothers should also maintain an optimistic attitude, not just self-regulation. The baby in the belly will also feel the mother's mood, so welcome the lovely baby with a happy mood.
