Literally, everyone can understand that the umbilical cord is generally around the neck, but some fetuses are also around the body.

◆ How is umbilical cord entanglement caused?

Umbilical cord entanglement is not caused by pregnant mother's yoga exercise, but the umbilical cord is too long to float in amniotic fluid, and the fetus will be caught when it is still playing in the mother's stomach.

Whether the fetus is trapped can be seen from the report of prenatal examination, such as U-shaped or W-shaped indentation.

◆ What are the dangers after the baby is entangled in the umbilical cord?

In fact, the umbilical cord around the neck is really not as dangerous as we thought, nor is it caused by the incorrect way the expectant mother touches her stomach. One in five expectant mothers will wrap their necks, so this is normal.

Hanging around your neck for three weeks can be dangerous, usually a breathing problem. At this time, expectant mothers can determine the baby's state by counting fetal movements.

◆ How to count fetal movements?

In fact, counting fetal movements is a very scientific thing, but many pregnant mothers can't. Today I will teach you the simplest method.

Once at noon in the morning and once in the afternoon, not necessarily at any time. When you feel the baby moving, you can start. At this time, the expectant mother should sit still or lie on her side, and insisting on 1 hour is victory.

We have counted for three hours, so a rough estimate of 12 hour is enough.

Health standard: 3-5 times per hour, 12 hour is about 30-40 times. If the baby's fetal movement is less than 10 times, or it suddenly weakens after frequent fetal movement, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. How to avoid umbilical cord entanglement, what should mother do? First of all, I want to correct a misunderstanding. Fetal umbilical cord entanglement is not caused by pregnant mothers touching their stomachs!

Anyway, some people may ask, is there any way to help the baby walk? This is really not the case. Under normal circumstances, the baby can walk without external force.

▼ After the baby bypasses the neck, the mother should do this:

1) Avoid strenuous exercise.

The strenuous exercise of pregnant mother stimulates the baby's excitement and intensifies the baby's movement in the abdomen. But gentle walking and gymnastics are helpful for post-production.

2) Eat high-protein food instead of high-carbohydrate food.

Protein supplements the fetus with nutrition. Necking mainly occurs in the first and second trimester of pregnancy. At this time, the nutrition of the fetus can't keep up, and the weight is too small to be around the neck. But to distinguish what is protein and what is fat.

3) Choose light music during prenatal education.

Everyone has different preferences for music, but too strong rhythm and sound will also stimulate the baby. Fetal movement in an excited state will increase.

A little advice: pregnant mothers should not worry too much, do not increase their psychological burden, and listen to the doctor's words. If you are not at ease, you can increase the number of pregnancy tests. Learn to be mature and steady in the end, be calm when things go wrong, and good things will naturally come to you.
