Recently, doctors have noticed a tendency for an increase in pathologies during pregnancy. Experienced specialists are able to accurately assess the risk of perinatal pathology. In this case, all factors are taken into account that can complicate the course of pregnancy, as well as the state of health of the parents of the unborn baby.
Instructions
Step 1
The most weighty reasons contributing to the occurrence of perinatal pathology, doctors consider obstetric and gynecological factors. These include all kinds of gynecological diseases detected during examination and research. In addition, there is a high risk of fetal abnormalities in primiparous who have previously had abortions, as well as in women who have had more than 1 abortion between pregnancies. Risks increase in expectant mothers who have previously suffered from ectopic pregnancies, have had miscarriages or are faced with miscarriage. Frequent pregnancies are also dangerous, especially if the woman had more than four of them.
Step 2
All kinds of diseases suffered by a woman during pregnancy seriously complicate her course and increase the likelihood of fetal malformations. Chronic and acute infections such as rubella and influenza are especially dangerous. There is a high risk of pathologies in women who suffered from gestosis, toxicosis, diseases of internal organs, uterine bleeding during pregnancy. Often, perinatal pathologies are observed in women with a negative Rh factor (Rh-).
Step 3
Fetal diseases are a prime example of developmental pathology. These include hypoxia (oxygen starvation), hypotrophy (low body weight), paratrophy (an increase in body weight above the physiologically acceptable), hemolytic disease, misrepresentation.
Step 4
Doctors attribute the age of future parents to socio-biological factors that can lead to the development of pathology during pregnancy. The age of a father over 40 years old and a mother over 30 years old is considered critical. In addition, a significant risk factor is the presence of bad habits in parents: smoking, alcohol abuse. If a father or mother works in hazardous industries, the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities and all kinds of diseases of the unborn child increases.
