In daily life, once a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a physical examination. Moreover, in the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay special attention to the relationship between the fetus and the umbilical cord, in order to avoid situations where the umbilical cord wraps around the neck and threatens the physical health of the fetus. However, during the examination, what does it mean that the fetus did not show any U-shaped indentation?
During the examination, it was found that the fetus did not have any U-shaped indentation, indicating that they were not wrapped around the neck by the umbilical cord. This is a good thing, and pregnant women do not need to be too nervous. However, when the umbilical cord is too long, the fetus is too small, there is excessive amniotic fluid, or even frequent fetal movements, it can cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the neck, resulting in a U-shaped indentation during examination.
Moreover, when the umbilical cord wraps around the neck, it can lead to a lack of blood supply to the fetus, which can easily result in hypoxia and ischemia, which is not conducive to the physical health of the fetus. So when pregnant women suspect that the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, they need to undergo a thorough examination in order to determine the situation and handle it in a timely manner. The general B-ultrasound examination is the only method for diagnosing whether the fetus is wrapped around the neck by the umbilical cord.
However, the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis is not high, so it is necessary to perform a scan examination on the fetus. When the fetal umbilical cord is found to be wrapped around the neck and accompanied by abnormal fetal heartbeat, emergency measures need to be taken, and pregnant women may need to give birth early to avoid fetal hypoxia and asphyxia. If the fetus is not severely wrapped around the neck, pregnant women should be careful during rest and exercise, and if necessary, oxygen therapy can be taken to provide the fetus with a large amount of oxygen to prevent hypoxia.
