Does the fetus grow faster after 37 weeks?

Does the fetus grow fast after 37 weeks of pregnancy? Many people have not thought about this question. Perhaps it is because everyone thinks that the fetus has been formed at this time and is ready to be born, so this period of time should not be longer. But everything is always possible, and nothing is dead. Therefore, you will need to observe and know whether the fetus will grow after 37 weeks of pregnancy.

Does the baby seem to be fast after 37 weeks of pregnancy?

The fetus is about 46cm long and weighs 3000g. The mean fetal biparietal diameter was 9.00±0.63cm, the mean fetal abdominal circumference was 30.14±2.17cm, and the femoral length was 7.10±0.52cm. This week, the fetus' lungs and other vocal organs have already grown and developed. Body fat increases to about 8% and to about 15% at birth. Many fetuses' hair is already black and thick, about 1-3 cm long, but some fetuses' hair is a little yellow. In addition to nutritional factors, genetic inheritance is also one of the main reasons. If one of the parents has naturally curly hair, your fetus may also have curly hair. Of course, there are some fetuses who have no hair at all, but there is no need to worry too much about the color or closeness of the baby's hair, because the baby's hair will naturally become thicker and brighter with the supplement of nutrients after birth. It is generally not easy to grow rapidly in the later stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women should pay attention to their daily diet and have regular prenatal checkups to help understand the baby's development.

Usually during this week, the baby is able to rotate again and turn his head downward. If the fetus is in a transverse position, the chance of automatically changing to a head position is very small. If the doctor cannot correct it, he or she will most likely recommend a caesarean section to ensure health and safety.

At 37 weeks of pregnancy, expectant parents should pay attention to:

1. Check the delivery bag: You may give birth at any time starting this week, so you must check whether there is anything you have forgotten in the delivery bag, especially the valid documents for hospitalization such as the birth permit, and make sure you can pick up the bag and go at any time.

2. Whether the fetal head is in the caldron: It is best for you to go to the hospital for a check-up this week to see whether the fetal head has already entered the caldron. If the fetal head has not entered the caldron this week, then the chance of it entering the caldron is slim. At this time, it is recommended that the pregnant woman have a cesarean section.

3. Placental abruption: If you find heavy vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, you must go to the hospital immediately, because this is very likely to be premature cesarean section, which poses a great risk to both you and your baby. Avoid lying flat on your back when sleeping at night, as this may also cause premature birth.

4. Breast care: From the 37th week, you can start breast care and massage. Do this exercise once a day for 6-7 minutes on each side. Massaging the breasts can not only soften the breasts, but also make the milk ducts unobstructed and secrete more milk. It can also stimulate the nipples and nipples, making the nipple skin tougher and easier for the baby to suck.
