Symptoms of fetal arrest in four months of pregnancy

If the fetus stops growing during the fourth month of pregnancy, the impact will be relatively large, and it will often result in stillbirth. The symptoms of fetal arrest are also relatively obvious. For example, the pregnant woman cannot feel the fetal movement and often experiences sudden abdominal pain. If a similar situation occurs, you must check it in time to understand the specific cause. If fetal arrest occurs, appropriate treatment should be carried out in time. Let's take a look at this aspect below.

Symptoms of fetal arrest in four months of pregnancy

The main symptom of fetal arrest is a decrease in the number and frequency of fetal movements. Because the intensity of fetal movements increases with the gestational age, you should pay attention if the fetal movements decrease for a long time. In addition, sudden abdominal pain and cramps in pregnant women are also symptoms of fetal arrest. To prevent fetal arrest, pregnant women should pay attention to personal hygiene and eating habits, and avoid strenuous exercise.

Causes of infection and miscarriage:

Studies have shown that in addition to infections such as Treponema pallidum, rubella virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma, and bacterial vaginosis that can cause fetal growth retardation, fetal growth retardation caused by mycoplasma and chlamydia infections has received increasing attention in recent years. Due to endocrine changes during pregnancy, the body's ability to defend against pathogens is reduced, and latent infections may become active infections due to pregnancy. Foreign scholars have found that the presence of Uu and CT in the cervix has nothing to do with the cessation of embryonic development. Only infection of the intrauterine embryo will cause the embryo to cease development. Mycoplasma in the lower reproductive tract can affect embryonic development by ascending infection to the uterine cavity. The study also found that mycoplasma can infect through the bloodstream, increase its expression level in the decidual stroma and vascular endothelial cells, promote vascular endothelial cell damage and blood coagulation, lead to embryonic death and stimulate uterine contraction to cause spontaneous abortion.

From the above content, we can know that there are many reasons for fetal arrest. If pregnant women have been paying attention to the changes in fetal movements, they will also know that the number of fetal movements will continue to decrease before fetal arrest, which also means that the fetal breathing will continue to weaken. In order to prevent accidents, pregnant women are advised to pay more attention during pregnancy so that a healthy baby will be born.
