Symptoms of 13 weeks pregnancy

Most women do not experience obvious changes in their bodies in the early stages of pregnancy, so many pregnant women cannot feel that they are pregnant. This also leads to a lack of attention to the management of one's own body in the early stages of pregnancy, which has a certain impact on the health of the baby in the belly. Therefore, female friends must understand their pregnancy symptoms when they are pregnant and manage them better. So what symptoms do women experience when they are 13 weeks pregnant?

Fetal development at 13 weeks of pregnancy

At 13 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus's face looks more like an adult, its length is about 75-90 mm, and its weight has increased slightly compared to last week. His (her) eyes become more prominent on the forehead, fingerprints appear on the fingers, the distance between the eyes decreases, the conditioned reflex ability is strengthened, the fingers begin to be able to clench with the palms, the toes and soles of the feet can also be bent, and the eyelids remain tightly closed. At this time, if the mother gently touches her abdomen with her hand, the baby in the belly will move, but you still cannot feel the movement of the fetus.

13 weeks of pregnancy body changes

At this time, the pregnant woman's breasts enlarge rapidly, the subcutaneous elastic fibers in the abdomen and breasts break, and dark red stretch marks appear (pregnant women's beauty and skin care). Stretch marks also appear on the hips and waist. You need to do proper exercises and use anti-wrinkle oil to massage the local skin properly to promote local blood circulation and increase the elasticity of subcutaneous elastic fibers. For your beautiful face and healthy body after giving birth, while supplementing nutrition during pregnancy, you should also pay attention to avoid gaining too much or too fast weight.

Pregnant women in 13 weeks should pay attention to the following points

(1) Pregnant women should maintain a good attitude. After you become pregnant, you should try to be happy, less angry, and take things easy. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly. If you are listless, depressed, and depressed, it will seriously affect the health of the fetus. Therefore, after pregnancy, we must pay attention to adjusting the psychology of pregnant women and avoid malicious stimulation. (Does anger during pregnancy affect the fetus?)

(2) Prevent stretch marks. Skin care In order to prevent and reduce future stretch marks, you should pay attention to your skin care from now on, especially the belly, breasts, thighs and other areas prone to stretch marks. Massage with olive oil is a good choice.

(3) Supplement calcium to prevent fetal rickets. The fetus may also develop rickets. There are many reasons for this. One is that the pregnant mother suffers from certain chronic diseases, which affects the absorption of vitamin D; the second is that she does not pay attention to nutritional balance and does not take in enough vitamin D; the third is that she does not get enough sun exposure during pregnancy. If you lack vitamin D in your body, it will affect calcium metabolism. Your calcium deficiency will not only affect your body, but also cause congenital rickets in the fetus. Therefore, preventing vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women can prevent calcium deficiency in the fetus. You should get more sun, pay attention to increasing your nutrition, and actively treat chronic diseases.

(4) During the second trimester of pregnancy, avoid excessive or vigorous sexual activity. Be gentle and don't use too much force. The expectant father should not enter too deeply and should be careful not to stimulate the nipples. The frequency should also be reduced, otherwise it will easily cause premature rupture of membranes, premature birth and infection. You should also not be too excited or too tired.

(5) Do appropriate exercise. Exercise: In order to have a smooth delivery and postpartum recovery in the future, you need to do some appropriate exercise now, such as doing some prenatal exercises purposefully.
