Fetal fading - symptoms

At any period of pregnancy, most often those fruits that have birth defects that are incompatible with life die. Another possible cause may be contraction of the uterus due to a violation of the hormonal background and detachment of the placenta. Fetal death is caused by intrauterine infections, severe maternal diseases, late gestosis in pregnancy .

How to determine the fading of the fetus in the early stages?

Up to 12 weeks a woman can not generally determine a frozen pregnancy, until the body starts to reject it. And you can determine this only on ultrasound for the absence of palpitations, fetal movements and its growth in a control examination. Possible signs of early fetal fading are the cessation of pain in the chest, a decrease in basal temperature, a reduction in toxicosis (although intoxication may significantly increase with the fading of pregnancy and the decay of the fetal tissues).

And when the uterus throws out the frozen pregnancy, the symptoms of the fetal being frozen are abundant spotting, abdominal pain, miscarriage. In the early stages of fading, prescribe drugs that stimulate uterine contraction or scraping of the uterine cavity with subsequent ultrasound control. After this, a woman is recommended to abstain from pregnancy for six months and undergo examination by specialists to diagnose the causes of a frozen pregnancy.

Fetal fetus late in life - symptoms

After 12 weeks, possible signs of fetal fading is a stop of fetal growth and, accordingly, a stop of abdominal enlargement. And when a woman begins to feel moving the fetus, she herself can determine the symptoms of the fact that the fetus has died out due to the complete absence of its movements. On examination at the gynecologist the doctor can establish signs of the frozen fetus because there is no growth of the uterus and it is impossible to listen to the fetal heartbeat , but these are indirect symptoms.

The first signs of fetal fading with ultrasound - the absence of palpitations and movements, deformation of the skull bones in the fetus. In determining the death of the fetus in later terms, stimulate the delivery of the woman and prescribe a survey to determine the possible causes of fading.
