One week younger than normal

Sometimes mothers are always very worried about their children's health. For example, sometimes they feel that their children are a week younger than other children, and they will want to make up for them. In fact, it is usually not necessary, and they can just feed their children as usual. Well, let’s take a look together. How to supplement the fetus if it is one week smaller?

1. Check the number of weeks of pregnancy

When the fetus is found to be small, doctors usually check the gestational age to see if the expectant mother has made a mistake in the number of weeks. Then we will check whether there is any problem with sex chromosomes.

2. Improve nutritional content

The most likely reason for a small fetus is that there is something wrong with the pregnant mother's diet. Expectant mothers should pay attention to whether their daily diet structure is effective and whether the nutrients are sufficient. Of course, the best way is to consult a doctor about how to take it.

3. Ask if it is genetic

The small size of the fetus is also related to genetic factors. If your parents have experienced small size in their mother's womb before, then your baby is more likely to be small in the womb than other babies.

4. Adjust your diet

Some pregnant women who have had similar experiences said that if the fetus is small, pregnant women should eat more meat, fish and animal offal, and drink more pork bone soup. As for vegetables and fruits, you can eat more broccoli, cauliflower, broccoli and so on. It is okay to use milk, eggs, etc. as breakfast and cookies as snacks. Don't starve yourself.

5. Regular follow-up B-ultrasound

You should ask your doctor to check your due date based on your menstrual cycle before pregnancy, the time of early pregnancy reaction, the time of fetal movement, and the B-ultrasound done in the early pregnancy. If the fetus is confirmed to be small, regular follow-up B-ultrasound should be performed. Work hard on nutrition to improve the body's digestion and absorption of nutrients.

6. Improve embryo digestion and absorption

If the pregnant mother's diet is normal and the nutrients are well absorbed, but the fetus is small. It is possible that the fetus's digestion and absorption function is not good. Most of the nutrients are digested and absorbed by adults, but the nutrients cannot be fully transmitted to the fetus through the embryo. In this case, the pregnant mother should connect the embryo under the guidance of a doctor. This will help the fetus to absorb nutrients.

7. Eat less fresh fruits that contain a lot of water

If the fetus is small, another possibility is that the uterus of a small number of pregnant women restricts the growth of the fetus. If the uterine contraction is not good enough and the uterus is not large enough, the fetus cannot grow freely inside, which will also cause the fetus to be small. For this situation, pregnant mothers should eat less fruits such as berries and peaches that are too watery, because this will make your uterus more tense and restrict the growth and development of the fetus.

The above is a detailed introduction on how to supplement the fetus if it is one week smaller. If the fetus is small, it generally will not have a big impact, because as they absorb a lot of nutrients, growth and development are accompanied by nutrients to supplement their own bodies. There is no need to do anything special. If you are still worried, it is recommended to ask a doctor, the doctor will give you a satisfactory answer.
