Cord is tightly wrapped around baby!!!

When this happens complete descent of the presenting part to enable spontaneous vaginal delivery may become impossible thus this leaves the mother with C-section as the only immediate option to safely deliver the baby.

If you run away from the hospital because you are told you need a cesarean section or go to a prayer camp or deliver in an unsafe place, you very likely May lose your baby and in most cases , you may still go through C-section to deliver the dead fetus

Sometimes you need to trust those who are professional trained for many years to take care of you.

This is the only way to ensure safety for both mother and child during childbirth

And when you feel your doctor isn't taking good care of you, find a different one to take care of you.

You and your baby are worth saving.

And your life is worth living.

FETAL DISTRESS

Fetal distress, also known as fetal compromise, refers to a situation during pregnancy, labor, or delivery where the baby's well-being is compromised.

Causes
1. Placental insufficiency: Reduced blood flow or oxygen to the baby.
2. Umbilical cord problems: Compression or prolapse.
3. Maternal health issues: High blood pressure, diabetes, or other conditions.
4. Fetal growth restriction: Baby not growing at a normal rate.

Signs
1. Abnormal heart rate: Fetal heart rate monitoring shows concerning patterns.
2. Decreased fetal movement: Mother notices reduced movement or kicking.
3. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid: Baby passes stool before birth.

Consequences
1. Birth asphyxia: Lack of oxygen can lead to brain damage or other complications.
2. Cesarean delivery: May be necessary to ensure baby's safety.

Monitoring and Intervention
1. Fetal heart rate monitoring: Continuous monitoring during labor.
2. Ultrasound and biophysical profiles: Assessing fetal well-being during pregnancy.
3. Prompt intervention: Healthcare providers may intervene with oxygen, position changes, or delivery.

Fetal distress requires prompt attention and monitoring to ensure the baby's well-being and prevent potential complications.
Here are some preventive measures that can help reduce the risk of fetal distress:

Before Pregnancy
1. Preconception care: Managing pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension.
2. Healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy weight, diet, and exercise routine.

During Pregnancy
1. Regular prenatal care: Attending scheduled appointments and following healthcare provider's guidance.
2. Healthy diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients.
3. Staying hydrated: Drinking plenty of water.
4. Avoiding harmful substances: Quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol and illicit drugs.
5. Managing stress: Engaging in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation or yoga.

During Labor
1. Continuous fetal monitoring: Monitoring fetal heart rate during labor.
2. Position changes: Regularly changing positions to improve blood flow and reduce pressure on the umbilical cord.
3. Adequate hydration: Ensuring mother stays hydrated during labor.
4. Pain management: Effective pain management can help reduce stress and discomfort.

Other Measures
1. Identifying high-risk pregnancies: Closely monitoring pregnancies with pre-existing medical conditions or other risk factors.
2. Prompt medical attention: Seeking immediate medical attention if concerns arise during pregnancy or labor.

While these measures can help reduce the risk of fetal distress, it's essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to ensure the best possible outcomes.
