Very often, moms who have visited ultrasound in the first trimester of pregnancy receive a conclusion with a terrible and incomprehensible diagnosis of "deformed fetal egg." Most perceive this phrase as a sentence, and expect the most unfavorable ending of their gestation. Such an abnormal development of the fetal egg does not at all mean that the child does not have a chance to survive and grow up to be a full-fledged person. Only a combination of certain factors, together with the abnormal structure of the fetal egg, can become an indicator for the interruption of pregnancy.
Deformed fetal egg - what is the cause of the phenomenon?
The main cause, which affects such a pathological course of pregnancy, is an increased tone of the uterus. Factors that provoke a strong reduction in the walls of the genital organ, there are a huge number, ranging from banal stress and ending with infections or hormonal failure. Most often, this cause of deformation of the fetal egg can be eliminated by taking antispasmodics, magnesium, magnesia and so on. Sexual relations, stress, physical labor or overwork should be completely ruled out. All this will give a chance to save the pregnancy, true, if the heartbeat of the fetus is listened.
Anomalies in the development of the fetal egg
In addition to the fact that an egg with a fetus may have an irregular shape, there are still many pathological processes that can cause miscarriage or pregnancy fading . Consider the most common of them.
Small fetal egg
This diagnosis is established by comparing the duration of pregnancy with the size of the fetal egg, which makes it possible to determine how correctly the child develops in the mother's womb. The most interesting thing is that the time of gestation is set according to the same size of the fetal egg. So it turns out that for the most part this pathology can not have any grounds, since simply not determined the duration of pregnancy. But this is not a rule, but rather a statistical observation. Slowly growing fetal egg, or lack of its development, can be an indicator of a frozen pregnancy. In this case, additional studies are conducted on the level of hormones in the mother's blood.
Fruit egg is bigger than embryo
This abnormal course of gestation is also called anembrional pregnancy and is a kind of frozen. It is characterized by the fact that all signs of fertilization are present, fetal membranes are formed, they grow, but there is no embryo itself. This can be done only at the ultrasound examination of the fetal egg itself, which must be done no later than the 6th or 7th week. However, do not immediately think about cleaning, because the pregnancy period may be incorrectly set and the embryo is still so small that it is not "seen" by the apparatus.
Fetal egg of elongated shape
Normally, an egg with a fruit should have several rounded outlines. The elongated shape of the fetal egg signals a possible loss of the baby. The cause of this phenomenon, as a rule, is increased muscle tone of the walls of the uterus. Timely diagnosis of deformation of the fetal egg during pregnancy makes it possible to save the child's life if his heartbeat is listened to, and he continues to develop. The woman follows completely
Since such diagnoses are made at very early gestation periods, there is always the opportunity to observe the developments and to undergo more thorough research. This will give your child a real chance to be born.
