Symptoms of Fetal Hypoxia at 38 Weeks of Gestation

This is the late stage of pregnancy. If the fetus experiences hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), fetal movements may become unusually restless or significantly decreased in frequency and intensity. The mother may frequently experience symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. During the late pregnancy period, it is recommended to visit the hospital for prenatal checkups once a week. Should fetal hypoxia be detected, prompt oxygen therapy is essential. At 38 weeks’ gestation, delivery could occur at any time; therefore, maternity and newborn clothing and supplies should be prepared in advance.
