Before the baby is born, if there is fetal distress in the uterus, will there be sequelae?

Patient's question:

Before the baby is born, if there is fetal distress in the uterus, will there be sequelae?! Urgently looking for an answer!!!!!!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, fetal distress mainly occurs during labor but can also occur during the later stages of pregnancy. Intrauterine fetal distress is caused by fetal hypoxia. Chronic fetal distress occurs under chronic hypoxia and can lead to abnormal fetal development and nutrition, resulting in intrauterine growth restriction. During labor, it is prone to further hypoxia. Prolonged exposure can lead to cerebral ischemia-hypoxia syndrome, causing a series of neurological and psychiatric symptoms that severely affect the child's physical health and future life.
