Picture of fetus induced abortion at 18 weeks

At 18 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is about 20 cm long and weighs about 200 grams. The biparietal diameter of the fetus is about 4.5cm, the average abdominal circumference of the fetus is 13cm, the fetal femur length is about 2.8cm, fat pads have formed on the tips of the fetus's fingers and toes, fingerprints have begun to appear, the eyes and ears have moved toward the head, hair has begun to cover the whole body, the stomach has begun to rumble, bones have begun to form, and the fetus's reproductive organs have begun to grow. If it is a boy, the male prostate has just begun to form.

When a woman is 18 weeks pregnant, the fetus's length can reach about 20 cm, and the weight of the fetus is only about 250 grams. Most pregnant women have obvious fetal movements at 18 weeks of pregnancy. This is also a suitable time for Down syndrome screening and minimally invasive DNA testing, which generally requires a blood test to eliminate the possibility of having a child with Down syndrome. And at this time the fetus has basically taken shape. Through B-ultrasound, you can see the obvious shape of the fetus in the cavity, and you can also see the condition of the fetus's hands and feet, but it is still a big-headed baby at this time.

At 18 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is about 20 cm long and weighs 200 grams. The flesh pads between the fetus' fingers and toes have formed, fingerprints have begun to appear, there are breathing movements, and hair has begun to cover the whole body. Pregnant women will feel more and more fetal movements, but the intensity of the movement is not high at this time and the movements are not intense. At the beginning of this stage, the fetus needs a lot of calcium provided by the mother. In daily life, you should eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, go outdoors to get more sun, and pay attention to a scientifically balanced diet.

The impact of induced abortion on the human body is more significant when the woman is 18 weeks pregnant. Internal bleeding may occur during the operation, causing anemia and affecting the physical and mental health of the human body. In addition, it may cause adhesions in the uterine cavity and damage to the uterine wall before and after delivery, causing salpingitis or pelvic inflammation, which will also affect subsequent pregnancies.

This type of induced abortion surgery requires injecting induced abortion drugs into the uterine cavity, waiting for the natural uterine contraction and dilation of the cervix, and then the embryo and fetus are discharged from the body, and then the uterine curettage surgery is performed. This process takes a long time and the patient's pain is severe and sometimes unbearable, so if the baby develops normally, it is best to preserve it.
