Every examination during pregnancy should be done, especially at 30 weeks, there is a test called fetal umbilical blood flow examination. Some pregnant women may not know how fetal umbilical blood flow testing is done or what kind of examination it is. So how to do fetal umbilical blood flow examination?
Fetal umbilical blood flow examination is very safe, and through this test, we can better understand the current development of the fetus in the belly. It can be said that this is a non-invasive examination. Because the relationship between umbilical blood flow and fetal blood oxygen supply is very close. If the resistance of umbilical blood flow increases, the flow of umbilical blood will decrease, which will cause ischemia and hypoxia in the fetus. So, having a fetal umbilical blood flow test at 30 weeks has played a certain role in predicting the health of the fetus.
Umbilical blood flow testing also carries risks. Especially for older pregnant women, it can be said that this examination is necessary because older pregnant women are prone to fetal abnormalities, and some high birth rate pregnant women may experience early miscarriage or even fetal death in the middle. Umbilical blood flow examination can better detect whether there are abnormalities in the fetal chromosomes and whether there are any genetic diseases present.
So women must undergo a umbilical blood flow test during pregnancy. Only in this way can we reduce the harm to the fetus and ensure its healthy development. It is especially important to remind elderly mothers that pregnancy is a relatively dangerous thing. For the sake of their own health and the health of the fetus, it is necessary to undergo this examination.
