For mothers, pregnancy is difficult but very happy. Seeing the growing belly, pregnant women are happier because this means that the baby is getting bigger. And rubbing the stomach while talking to the baby, feeling the baby kick has become a habit for most pregnant women. However, according to doctors, this is a bad habit that can even be harmful to the fetus.
Since 4 months pregnant, Tieu Linh (who lives in China) has started to feel her baby’s movements, so she is very excited. She absolutely loved the feeling of putting her hand on her belly and gently rubbing it and waiting for the baby to kick. Therefore, whenever her mother-in-law advised her not to rub her pregnant belly too often, Tieu Linh ignored her ears. He assumed that was how the mother and daughter spoke.
Found that every time he touched his stomach, he would kick, so Tieu Linh really liked to rub his stomach (Artwork)
The bigger her stomach, the more often Tieu Linh’s stomach was rubbed. Whenever he has free time, he hugs her belly gently and lovingly. Meanwhile, his mother-in-law constantly advised: “Don’t touch the stomach too often, babies get naughty easily with the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck”. However, Tieu Linh replied: “Mom, this is the modern form of tai chi. Can’t you see that every time I rub my tummy my baby kicks? That’s because the fetus has felt the mother’s touch, so it responds. Rest assured mother.”
When she was 7 months pregnant, one day Tieu Linh suddenly found her child “naughty” more than usual, the child kicked continuously and hard. The next day, this situation did not change, even the fetus was kicked non-stop even at night. However, he still wasn’t worried at all and went to the doctor. On the third day, Tieu Linh suddenly had stomach pains and bleeding. She started to panic and called her husband to take her to the hospital.
After 2 days of seeing her “naughty” child, Tieu Linh’s stomach suddenly bleeds. Doctors concluded that the fetal heart stopped beating because the fetus was wrapped around the neck by the umbilical cord, which caused suffocation.
Here, the doctor informs that the fetal heart has stopped beating and the mother must give birth to end the pregnancy. The cause of this incident was because the fetus was wrapped around the neck with the umbilical cord until it suffocated. Hearing this, Tieu Linh’s mother-in-law rushed to scratch and scold her daughter-in-law, she attributed her grandson’s death to her daughter-in-law’s because she often rubbed her pregnant belly.
At this time, Tieu Linh woke up and regretted not listening to her mother-in-law’s advice. Turns out 2 days ago, I was kicking continuously because I was struggling to send a distress signal to my mother when the umbilical cord was strangled. However, due to his subjectivity, he missed the “golden time” to save his child.
Why should pregnant women not rub their stomachs regularly?
According to doctors, many pregnant women have a habit of touching their belly after pregnancy because it is their way of “touching” the baby and communicating with the baby. But in fact, rubbing the pregnant belly too much actually harms the fetus. Because the fetus can feel the mother touching the stomach and will “return” to the mother with a kick. Therefore, rubbing the mother’s stomach too much will affect the child’s living habits.
In other words, even if you are sleeping or resting, if you pick up the “signal” of your mother’s hand, your baby will wake up and kick. Since then, the baby does not get enough rest, which affects the physical and mental development of the baby during pregnancy.
On the other hand, the fetus is very excited when it “communicates” with its mother. So, if the baby’s umbilical cord is too long or the baby is moving too much, the umbilical cord could be accidentally twisted. In severe cases, the umbilical cord wraps around many times, tightening, causing the baby to suffocate from lack of oxygen.
In short, you should not often rub the stomach after pregnancy. In addition, at any time during pregnancy when you experience abdominal pain, the fetus kicks continuously or is not usually calm, you should go to the hospital immediately to check immediately, to avoid an unfavorable situation such as the case of pregnant women. the story above.
