　　If you are now an expectant mother, are you worried that your height will affect the smooth arrival of your baby? Your small height brings you so many problems, then let healthy The doctor will give you the answer slowly!

　　Indeed, many women with short stature are always worried after pregnancy, fearing that they will have difficulty in giving birth and worrying that their body shape will affect their health. fetus development in the abdomen. Will such a problem occur? So let us mothers first take a look at the results of some scientific research. Epidemiological surveys at home and abroad show that the incidence of dystocia among short pregnant women is higher than that of ordinary pregnant women. Especially pregnant women who are less than 150 centimeters tall and obviously short in stature. Due to their narrow pelvis, the incidence of dystocia is higher than that of ordinary pregnant women. In addition, due to the short stature and low weight of the mother before pregnancy, the pregnancy baby The weight of the baby is also correspondingly low, and the baby develops Postpartum The chance of developing the disease is higher than in children of normal weight.

　　Are mothers with short stature unable to conceive and give birth? The answer is no! Worry is worry, and excessive worry is unnecessary.

　　The height of a person's body is not necessarily directly proportional to the size of the pelvis. Moreover, whether the fetus can be delivered successfully depends on female Related to the shape of the pelvis. Some women over 1.70 meters tall have male The pelvis is funnel-shaped, with thick bones and small inner diameter, making it difficult for the fetus to pass through, making delivery difficult.； And many women who are less than 1.60 meters tall, or even mothers who are less than 1.50 meters tall, have a typical female pelvis, with wide hips, a barrel-shaped pelvis, thin bones, and a large inner diameter, so the fetus can easily pass through. In addition, whether the size of the fetus is commensurate with the female pelvis is also a factor in measuring whether a pregnant woman can have a normal delivery. Therefore, mothers with short stature need not worry. Whether the shape of the female pelvis is normal can be initially estimated by measuring outside the pelvis. Modern ultrasound examination methods can accurately measure the size of the fetus. Therefore, when you go into labor, doctors can completely predict whether you will have a normal or difficult delivery. Even if something does happen to you, there is still a caesarean section to protect you.

　　Although we have science and technology as a guarantee, we should also start from every aspect of daily life to prevent possible dystocia. First of all, avoid excessive nutrition during pregnancy to prevent the fetus from growing too large, thereby increasing the possibility of dystocia. Secondly, we should adhere to appropriate exercise , to enhance the strength of abdominal muscles and other muscles related to childbirth to facilitate normal childbirth. The last step is to strengthen prenatal examinations and carefully measure the size of the pelvis and fetus to determine whether the fetus can be delivered successfully. Also, don’t forget that if you need caesarean section or other assisted delivery, you should be admitted to the hospital about a week in advance to wait for delivery. Of course this one Hospital The doctor will remind you.
