Second fetal development

1The baby's fetal length is about 40cm and the fetal weight is about 1800g. The average biparietal diameter was 8.17 ± 0.65 cm, the average abdominal circumference was 26.20 ± 2.33 cm, and the femur length was 6.43 ± 0.49 cm.

2 He has more fat underneath and looks like a pretty little baby! At this time, the fetus's various organs continue to develop and mature, his internal organs are maturing, and his lungs and gastrointestinal functions are close to maturity! If the baby is a boy, his testicles may have entered the scrotum from the abdominal cavity, but some babies may not enter the scrotum until the day after birth; if it is a girl, her labia majora will be obviously raised and close to each other. This indicates that the baby's genitals are close to maturity.

Three mother changes

You are 32 weeks pregnant and have gained 8.5kg. In the later stages of pregnancy, it is normal for your weight to increase by 500g per week because the fetus is growing rapidly. Your growing abdomen shifts your center of gravity forward, putting increasing pressure on your spine. As your abdominal muscles are stretched, you may feel lower back pain or pain in the buttocks and thighs.

Four prenatal check-up tips

1. Routine prenatal examination items:

Between weeks 28 and 36 of pregnancy, prenatal checkups are done every two weeks. Prenatal check-up items include routine items such as blood pressure, weight, uterine fundus height, abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate, fetal position, blood routine, and urine routine. These basic items are important monitoring indicators for expectant mothers' pregnancy care and help doctors have a more comprehensive understanding of the basic conditions of expectant mothers. In addition, starting from this week, fetal heart monitoring will be included in routine examinations.

2. Key prenatal examination items: fetal position examination

That is, to check the position of the fetus in the mother's uterus. The posture of the fetus in the womb before birth is very important, and in medicine, fetal position is also used as one of the bases for choosing the method of delivery. Malposition of the fetus can bring varying degrees of difficulty and danger to delivery. Timely detection of malposition of the fetus is conducive to early correction and is of great significance for the prevention of dystocia. The best time to adjust the fetal position is between 30 and 32 weeks of pregnancy.

The above introduces in detail the physiological changes of the baby and the mother at 32 weeks of pregnancy, which is eight months. Everyone must read it carefully. The prenatal check-up reminder is very important. Pregnant mothers must pay attention to it, check the baby's development more often, and be qualified parents. Expectant mothers must work hard until their baby is born safely, then all the efforts will be worth it.
