Promoting Physiological Health

When a fetus dies in the womb after the 20th week of pregnancy, it is referred to
as fetal death in utero (FDIU), sometimes known as intrauterine death (IUD). It is
regarded as a miscarriage prior to this.

The mother is the one who is greatly affected in this scenario since she’s the one
who carries the baby in her womb. There are lot of risks to the mother involving in the
Fetal Death in Utero. It is very important to look after the physiological aspects of the
mother after the death of her fetus inside her womb.

According to ExitCare Patient Information, a deceased fetus should be treated


within two weeks. If a deceased fetus is kept in the mother's uterus for more than two
weeks, the fetal contents may get infected, resulting in increased bleeding. Medscape
states that if a deceased fetus is kept in the uterus for more than three to four weeks,
the mother may develop coagulopathy, or blood clotting issues. Labor can be induced if
the patient becomes distressed at any time, although artificial rupturing of the
membranes (AROM) is not recommended due to the danger of infection from germs
growing in the dead placental and fetal tissues if labor does not occur promptly. Instead,
the hormone oxytocin (Pitocin) will be injected into a vein to induce birth. Uterine
contractions are induced by oxytocin. Unless there are difficulties during birth, a
cesarean section is usually not required. Follow-up, bereavement counseling, and
genetic counseling should all be offered to women who have had this event. The
woman can suffer disseminated intravascular coagulation if the fetus is not removed in
a timely way, according to ExitCare Patient Information. Excessive bleeding occurs as a
result of the blood clotting issue, which can harm internal organs as well as muscles.
Excessive blood flow can induce organ tissue and blood artery ruptures, providing fertile
habitat for infection. The mother is at danger of blood loss, as well as toxins and
bacteria-related problems. It's possible that this is a life-threatening situation. The key to
avoiding such consequences is early diagnosis. However, just because the diagnosis of
fetal death has been established does not indicate that the fetus may be removed from
the uterus immediately now. Before removing the stillborn, physicians usually wait for
the mother to be emotionally ready.
After the death of the fetus in the mother’s womb, the mother needs to improve
her physiological health. By that, she needs to have a healthy diet and a proper
exercise to boost her immune system. Also, she needs to have the follow-up check-ups
in order for the physician to monitor her physiological aspects and her health. God's
greatest gift is life, and the process of giving birth is awe-inspiring. As a result, maternal
mortality and morbidity are concerning, necessitating substantial treatments.
