Pregnant women need to be cautious at all times during pregnancy, especially when various examinations during pregnancy make them both nervous and excited. Some examinations can clearly see the every move of the fetus, while others, due to unclear meanings, make pregnant women worry about the development of the fetus, such as what situations require obstetric OCT?
Generally, when the fetal heart rate decreases, uterine contractions weaken, or placental function decreases, pregnant mothers need to undergo obstetric OCT.
Obstetric OCT refers to the oxytocin stimulation test. The method is to induce uterine contractions in pregnant women by applying small doses of oxytocin. If the fetal heart rate accelerates during contractions, the oxytocin test result is negative, indicating that the pregnant mother can continue to wait for delivery. If the pregnant mother cannot tolerate the pressure in the uterine cavity and experiences fetal heart rate deceleration or unresponsive uterine contractions, the oxytocin test result will be positive, and the pregnant mother needs to be hospitalized as soon as possible to prepare for childbirth.
The OCT test is suitable for evaluating the condition of the fetus in late pregnancy and is also a unique examination in obstetrics, so pregnant mothers do not need to be too nervous. In general, if the expected date of delivery exceeds one week or so without labor symptoms, or if the pregnant mother with gestational diabetes does not have an attack at 40 weeks, the oct test is required before birth.
Due to the occurrence of abdominal pain, lower back pain, and other symptoms in pregnant women after undergoing obstetric OCT experiments, they should pay attention to bed rest after the experiment.
