When you are six months pregnant, the fetus has gained a lot of weight and looks very similar to a baby. But his skin is still wrinkled and red, like a little old man.

At six months of pregnancy, the fetus is about 19cm long and weighs about 350g. At this time, the skin of the fetus is wrinkled. Don’t think that this is a bad phenomenon. In fact, this is room left for the fetus to grow subcutaneous fat in the future.

After 22 weeks, the six-month-old fetus will look slippery, as if the skin is covered with a layer of greasy substance. In fact, this is vernix caseosa. The main function of vernix caseosa is to protect the fetus from harm due to long-term immersion in amniotic fluid. Vernix caseosa usually appears at six months old and may still be there until birth. The fetal teeth are also developing rapidly during this period, mainly the tooth germs of the permanent teeth are developing rapidly, preparing for the fetus to grow teeth.

When pregnant for six months, the mother's waist becomes noticeably thicker. This is because the uterus grows larger and heavier, causing the spine to lean backward and the body's center of gravity to move forward. In order to maintain balance, the mother will consciously lean back, resulting in a condition unique to pregnant women. Because pregnant mothers are not used to this sudden change, they are prone to falling when leaning back, and their waist and back are easily fatigued, so pregnant mothers often feel very strenuous when sitting down and standing up.

When you are six months pregnant, the focus at this time is to supplement iron. If the pregnant mother herself is not iron deficient, she can eat more foods high in iron in her diet. At the same time, remember that iron and tea cannot be consumed together.

According to the above introduction, we can learn how much the fetus weighs at six months of pregnancy. First of all, this is checked through pregnancy examinations and prenatal tests. Everyone should pay attention to protecting their waist at ordinary times, get enough rest and keep the diet nutritious and light.
