Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially around my period days. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what could cause sudden decreased fetal movement at 37 weeks of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons. It could be that the placenta is starting to age, and the mother and baby cannot complete normal blood exchange, as the baby's oxygen supply comes from the blood. It could also be that the umbilical cord is compressed, reducing the blood flow to the baby. These are common and frequent causes. It is recommended that you sleep in the left lateral position. You can go to the hospital to receive oxygen for half an hour to an hour each day, and then do a fetal heart monitoring after 3 days to see if there is any improvement. During this period, if there are significant changes in fetal movement, you should go to the hospital immediately.
