How big is the fetus at two months of pregnancy?

Many female friends only discover they are pregnant when they are nearly a month old, and some may take even longer. The fetus cannot be seen from the mother's surface during the second month of pregnancy. In fact, the fetus is still very small at this time, only 1.2cm, almost the size of a kidney bean.

1. Fetal development at two months

The small embryo can be called a "fetus". His (her) fetal length is about 0.4~1.2cm1.2cm, and the fetal weight is about 2.5~6g. It looks like a longan. Organs are beginning to take on distinct features, with small amounts of webbing appearing between the fingers and toes.

5 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus grows to about 0.4cm and enters the embryonic period. The amniotic cavity expands and primitive cardiovascular system appears, which may beat. B-ultrasound can show a small gestational sac, which occupies less than 1/4 of the uterine cavity, or a fetal bud can be seen.

6 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus is about 0.6cm.

7 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus grows to 1cm, the embryo has the rudiments of a human being, and all the body segments are differentiated. B-ultrasound clearly shows the embryo and fetal heartbeat, and the gestational sac occupies about 1/3 of the uterine cavity.

8 weeks pregnant: The fetus is now about 1.2cm long and weighs about 6g, which is roughly the size of a kidney bean. B-ultrasound shows that the gestational sac occupies about 1/2 of the uterine cavity, the fetal shape and fetal movement are clearly visible, and the yolk sac can be seen.

Now the fetus' organs are beginning to have obvious characteristics. There are small amounts of webbing between the fingers and toes, and he (she) begins to move like a bouncing bean. At the end of the second month of pregnancy, the fetus can already distinguish the outlines of the head and torso, the tail is also smaller, the eyes, ears, and lips have roughly appeared, and the outline of the face is already there, but the eyes are still on both sides and the bones are still in a cartilage state. The heart, liver and other internal organs have begun to take shape, the brain is developing rapidly, there is amniotic fluid in the amniotic cavity, and the fetus seems to be floating on it. At this time, the connection between the pregnant mother and the fetus is closer.

2. Changes in expectant mothers

Your appearance hasn't changed much now. However, you may have noticed that your bra has become tighter, and soon you may need to wear a larger bra than before to better support your breasts. This is because increased hormone levels in the body cause the breasts to grow larger and other tissues to change in preparation for breastfeeding.

In addition, you may experience early pregnancy reactions such as dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Right now, you may be going to the bathroom to urinate more often than usual because your growing uterus is putting pressure on your bladder. You will feel tired and sleepy, as nausea and vomiting will of course also drain your energy. If you can, try to get 9-10 hours of sleep at night, or take naps during the day.
