37 weeks fetus picture

The 37-week fetus is a near-full-term fetus. At this time, the fetus is about 46 cm long, 33 cm long from top to bottom, and weighs about 2600-2700 g. At this time, the fetus has more body fat, a smoother body, facial wrinkles have disappeared, and fingernails or toenails have reached the fingertips. After birth, the baby can cry and suck, and has good daily living ability. Almost all babies in the fetus can survive at this time.

If you are pregnant, you can touch your abdomen. The fundus of the uterus is about two horizontal fingers below the xiphoid process, and the length of the uterus that can be touched is about 32cm. 37 weeks belongs to the fetus that has recently reached full-term, and its basic ability to survive is already very good.

The fetus's weight at 37 weeks of pregnancy can reach 6 pounds, the fetal biparietal diameter is about 9 cm, and the femoral length is about 7 cm. This is the condition of the fetus at 37 weeks of pregnancy. Delivery after 37 weeks of pregnancy is called full-term delivery. It is not only when the delivery date is reached that the delivery is considered full-term. Delivery after 37 weeks of pregnancy is considered full-term. Because the child at this time has been fully developed in the central nervous system, heart function, digestive tract and other areas, it is called a full-term baby. Babies born before 37 weeks of pregnancy are called premature babies. The biggest difference between premature babies and full-term babies is often the respiratory tract. The lungs of premature babies are immature and often require medical intervention.

At 37 weeks, the baby's weight is generally around 3000 grams, or about 6 kilograms. Because the physical fitness of pregnant women is different, the weight of the fetus cannot be the same. If it exceeds 2500 grams, it is considered to be a normal fetus. If there is a pregnant woman who is underweight or slightly overweight, pay attention to adjusting the diet. If the fetus is larger, it is recommended to check the blood sugar to determine whether there is gestational diabetes. If the fetus is smaller than the gestational age, further examination is necessary to check whether there is any restriction in the growth and development of the fetus.
