summary

With the increase of pregnancy cycle, expectant mothers will gradually begin to feel the fetal activity, that is, fetal movement. If one day fetal movement does not appear, it is likely that the fetus has an accident. It's something that everyone doesn't want to meet, and we need to pay more attention to women's health after abortion. Next, let's take a look at the signs of 18 weeks of gestation.

Gestational 18 weeks fetal stop symptoms?

1. Reduction of fetal movement is one of the most objective signs of fetal life, which is a signal sent by the fetus to the mother. Therefore, pregnant women often master fetal movement, can understand the safety of the fetus, timely find problems. Under normal circumstances, at 16-20 weeks of gestation, the fetus begins obvious fetal movement that can be perceived by the mother. With the increase of gestational age, fetal movement is also increasing. After 30 weeks of gestation, normal fetuses usually move at least 3 times per hour, and the number of fetal movements within 12 hours is about 30-40 times or more. However, the decrease of fetal movement is normal in the near term fetus, which may be related to the fetal sleep status. Fetal movement can be affected by many factors, such as the month of pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid, the posture of pregnant women, etc., but these changes belong to the normal range. Pregnant women can take early, middle and late test once, with each time 1 hour method to calculate fetal movement. If the measurement can not be done three times a day, you can choose a fixed time of one hour before going to bed at night. When placental dysfunction, umbilical cord around the neck, improper medication of pregnant women and adverse external stimulation occur, abnormal fetal movement may be caused. If the fetal movement is less than 3 times within 1 hour, or less than 10 times within 12 hours, it indicates that the fetus is in danger of intrauterine hypoxia, and should go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment.

2. Unexplained abdominal pain in the process of pregnancy, pregnant women in some stages will feel mild abdominal pain, this situation is mostly normal. But if it's sudden abdominal pain, and it's spasmodic, it needs attention. In the first trimester of pregnancy, severe abdominal pain with vaginal bleeding may be an early warning of ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion.

3. Amniotic fluid volume amniotic fluid is one of the factors to maintain the survival of the fetus. Once the amniotic fluid volume is abnormal, pregnant women need to be alert. The functions of amniotic fluid include not only opening the uterine wall and providing free space for fetal growth and development, but also buffering and maintaining temperature stability when the uterus is impacted by external forces, and helping to expand the cervix by transmitting pressure through the water sac during labor. Therefore, amniotic fluid is regarded as the "water of life" of fetus. Amniotic fluid is mainly formed by the placental tissue osmotic fluid in the uterus of pregnant women and the urine of the fetus.
