How big is the baby at two months of pregnancy?

Ten months of pregnancy is a difficult and complicated process. During this process, expectant mothers and fathers are always paying attention to the development and growth of the baby in the mother's body. This process can be achieved by improving B-ultrasound. The growth process of the baby in the mother's belly can be seen clearly in B-ultrasound. So, the question arises, how big does a two-month-old baby look in the B-ultrasound, and how often can the B-ultrasound be done?

At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus grows to 1.66 cm and its shape is determined. The head, body and limbs can be distinguished, and the head is larger than the trunk. B-ultrasound shows that the gestational sac occupies about 1/2 of the uterine cavity. The fetal shape and fetal movement are clearly visible, and the yolk sac can be seen. The pregnant mother can see detailed information from the B-ultrasound image.

So, how long does it take to do an ultrasound during pregnancy? This is what many new mothers want to know.

Under normal circumstances, pregnant mothers should have an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy (around 12 weeks of pregnancy). Pregnant mothers should avoid having B-ultrasounds too early or too many times. Doing an ultrasound too early may cause the fragile, newly formed embryo to be shaken, which is not conducive to embryonic development. B-ultrasound in early pregnancy is to confirm whether the pregnancy is ongoing and how many days the pregnancy has lasted, to provide a reliable basis for determining the expected date of delivery, and to promptly detect any abnormalities in embryonic development.

The second B-ultrasound examination is usually scheduled in the middle of pregnancy (around 20 weeks of pregnancy). At this time, there is relatively more amniotic fluid in the uterus, the fetus is of moderate size, and there is a large space for movement in the uterus. For B-ultrasound examination, there is better contrast, and the various organs of the fetus can be clearly seen. More obvious malformations, such as congenital heart disease, anencephaly, hydrocephalus, spina bifida, abdominal wall defect, short limbs, polycystic kidney disease, and gastrointestinal atresia are easy to detect. If necessary, timely treatment or termination of pregnancy can be carried out.

The third B-ultrasound examination should be arranged in the late pregnancy (around 28 weeks of pregnancy), mainly to understand the development of the fetus in the uterus and to check again whether the fetus has any malformations. Because some diseases may not be discovered in time during the second trimester of pregnancy by ultrasound examination.

Through the above introduction and understanding, we know that expectant mothers generally need to have a prenatal check-up every one to three months. Such an examination can help expectant mothers keep abreast of their babies' growth and health issues. It can also estimate the expected date of delivery, and understand whether the placenta and amniotic fluid are normal, thereby helping doctors choose a safe method of delivery.
