[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers may suddenly experience a rapid heartbeat, a little out of breath, and then fall to the ground when the eyes are dark. This is due to the sudden onset of "postural hypotension". Especially pregnant mothers who are thin or have low blood pressure before pregnancy should be more careful.

Those who are thin and have low blood pressure before pregnancy should pay special attention

Zeng Yijie, attending physician of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Kaohsiung Xinhuixin Hospital, pointed out in his new book "(Illustration) The 40th Week of Pregnancy Health Care Book that Parents-to-be Are Most Concerned About" (published by Novice Parents) that pregnant mothers often lose their appetite due to early nausea , and jointly reduce the daily water intake, so that the blood pressure of pregnant mothers is always hovering at a low level.

If you do not replenish water in a timely manner, it is likely to induce postural hypotension, dizziness, numbness of limbs, and dyspnea due to prolonged standing, sitting, or sudden changes in posture.

If it is not dealt with in time, it may faint without warning and cause injury.

Zeng Yijie pointed out that as the number of weeks increases, the enlarged uterus will compress the veins in the body, affect the return of blood, and easily aggravate the occurrence of such situations.

Sit or lie down if you notice a rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath

He also reminded that when pregnant mothers notice a sudden rapid heartbeat and a little out of breath, they must quickly find a place to sit or lie down, and add an appropriate amount of water. After a short rest, most of the symptoms will be relieved naturally.

If it happens too frequently, or if the symptoms don't improve for a long time, you need to see a doctor to confirm whether there is a heart disease or other problems.

It is very important to avoid sitting for a long time and standing for a long time.

Pregnant mothers should also avoid sitting or standing for a long time, and remind themselves to get up every 40-60 minutes to exercise their muscles and bones, and add some water, which will also help prevent such discomfort.

11 weeks pregnant baby's head shape and nasal bone shape

Zeng Yijie pointed out that pregnant mothers should beware of postural hypotension in the early stages of pregnancy, while for babies, at 11 weeks of pregnancy, you can see the complete silhouette of the side of the fetus' face through ultrasound examination.

From the round skull of the fetus, let us say goodbye to the worries of "brainless children".

All the way down the full forehead, you will see the fetus's firm nose and the nasal bone lying under it. The clearly visible and moderately long nasal bone is an important clue to get rid of the troubles of "Down's syndrome".

At 11 weeks of pregnancy, through prenatal ultrasound screening, it can be clearly seen that the baby's skull and nasal bones are formed, and it is not anencephaly.

In addition, the "transparent zone" at the back of the fetal neck is also the focus of ultrasound examinations in these weeks.

If the thickness of the cervical translucency is too thick, you may be careful about the potential risk of Down syndrome and fetal congenital heart disease. If necessary, please discuss with the obstetrician and gynecologist whether a more precise examination is needed.

At 11 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's head-rump diameter should be 4-5 cm. In addition to the baby's outline, sometimes you can see small hands and feet swinging in front of the baby under the ultrasound.

At this time, the structures of the fingers and toes have been clearly developed.

If you seize the opportunity, in addition to having the opportunity to confirm whether the structure of the fingers and toes is sound, you may also capture interesting gestures such as "scissors", "rock", "cloth", or "like you".
