Pregnant women are particularly concerned about their unborn babies during pregnancy, and they are careful with every move they make, fearing that it may harm them. Pregnant women need to undergo various examinations during pregnancy to confirm the health status of the fetus in their womb. So, what does fetal umbilical blood flow monitoring mean?
Pregnant women need to undergo regular prenatal check ups during pregnancy. The main purpose of blood flow testing is to monitor the condition of the fetus in the mother's uterus, which is an important indicator to determine whether the fetus in the womb is healthy. When there is abnormal blood flow, it is highly likely that the fetus has been wrapped around the neck by the umbilical cord. If the abnormal blood flow is severe but not improved and treated in a timely manner, it is easy for the blood flow to stop or invert in the late stage of the umbilical artery.
If this situation occurs, it indicates that the fetus in the pregnant mother's womb has severe hypoxia. If left to develop freely, it will affect the blood flow parameters of the fetal cerebral arteries and affect the healthy development of the fetus. So it is necessary to undergo ultrasound examination every time to determine whether the fetus has umbilical cord entanglement around the neck and whether there are any abnormalities in umbilical cord blood flow.
Attention should be paid to blood flow examination. Umbilical blood flow examination is performed using a Doppler device, which is a prenatal examination similar to ultrasound. This examination is usually performed within 28, 30, and 32 weeks of pregnancy, and fetal heart rate monitoring is also required to ensure that the fetus is not deprived of oxygen. Pregnant mothers need to go to the hospital regularly for prenatal check ups. Don't worry too much when abnormal situations occur. As long as you actively cooperate with the doctor and carefully adjust, you can gradually improve. Pregnant women must also maintain emotional stability during pregnancy and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations, as they can affect the health of the fetus.
