During pregnancy, everyone can undergo various examinations to get to know our baby in advance. The heart is a very important organ, and there are many fetuses with congenital heart disease. After the fetus is born, this disease is almost impossible to cure and can also bring burden to families and society. So, what are the manifestations of fetal heart problems during pregnancy?
Pregnant women may have some feelings about the development of their fetus. If pregnant women experience mild symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, shortness of breath, or angina pectoris, obvious edema in the lower limbs, it may be a problem with the fetal heart. If there are problems with the fetal heart in the stomach, some may not have obvious symptoms, and the main way to determine the condition of the fetal heart is through ultrasound examination. During pregnancy, it is important to be aware of the signs of various problems, promptly seek medical attention for any abnormalities, and ensure the healthy growth and development of the fetus.
If fetal heart abnormalities are found during pregnancy, you can first go to a specialized obstetrics and gynecology hospital for further examination. Generally speaking, at five months of pregnancy, the fetal heart is fully developed. If there is a heart malformation, a specialized ultrasound doctor can make a diagnosis. Fetal echocardiography is necessary. Fetal cardiac ultrasound is a detection method that can help people understand the dynamic intracardiac structure, heartbeat, and blood flow of the fetus. It is currently a minimally invasive detection method for the human body. Fetal cardiac ultrasound is usually performed between 20-30 weeks of mid pregnancy.
There are many reasons that can cause fetal heart abnormalities, such as genetics, viruses, drugs, etc., which can lead to abnormal heart development in babies. Pregnant women should eat more high protein foods after pregnancy. Fish eggs and beans are particularly good for fetal heart development, and it is recommended to eat more soybean sprouts during pregnancy.
