summary

During pregnancy, many pregnant mothers will encounter such a problem, clearly the gestational age is not big, why the placenta is mature, some even write the placenta aging. This word makes many pregnant mothers have a sense of tension, worried about whether the fetus will be affected, placenta aging will affect the fetus? Let's talk about it

Does placental aging affect the fetus?

If the placenta is aging, the nutrients and oxygen provided to the fetus will not be enough, which may cause fetal hypoxia. If the fetus is lack of oxygen, it will increase the incidence of fetal distress, even death in the uterus, or brain lesions after birth.

The placenta is the transfer station of Nutrition between the mother and the fetus. The aging of the placenta will lead to the degradation of placental function and insufficient nutrition for the fetus, resulting in malnutrition and growth retardation of the fetus. The increase of perinatal death, aging of placenta and insufficiency of function will lead to fetal distress, hypoxia, malnutrition, growth retardation, and even increase perinatal death, such as stillbirth, stillbirth, neonatal asphyxia, etc.

The incidence of neonatal asphyxia is high. Even if the lungs of the perinatal fetus are mature, they do not have their own respiratory function in the intrauterine environment. The exchange of oxygen also depends on the placental function. Therefore, the aging of placental function will cause fetal hypoxia, which is the reason for the increased incidence of neonatal asphyxia.

matters needing attention

During the whole pregnancy, pregnant mother must pay attention to develop good living habits, reasonable diet, avoid pregnancy diseases, lack of trace elements or excessive. In addition, prenatal examination must not be less, pregnant mother to actively carry out the examination, so as to find problems early, early treatment, so as not to cause bad effects.
