How big is a six month old fetus?

The fetus will always change during the development process. Pregnant women need regular prenatal checkups in order to fully understand the development of the fetus. So how big is a fetus at six months? Generally speaking, after six months of pregnancy, the fetus not only develops faster, but also begins to grow hair. This can be clearly seen during B-ultrasound. At this time, you must pay attention to supplementing nutrition.

Fetal length: 25-28cm, fetal weight: 300-800g.

21 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus is about 18cm long from head to toe and weighs 300-350 grams. The average biparietal diameter was 5.22±0.42cm, the average abdominal circumference was 15.62±1.84cm, and the femur length was 3.64±0.40cm.

22 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus is about 19cm long from head to toe and weighs 300-350g. The average biparietal diameter was 5.45±0.57cm, the average abdominal circumference was 16.70±2.23cm, and the femur length was 3.82±0.47cm.

23 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus is about 20 cm long from head to toe and weighs 450 grams. The average biparietal diameter was 5.80±0.44cm, the average abdominal circumference was 17.90±1.85cm, and the femur length was 4.21±0.41cm.

24 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus is about 26cm long and weighs 570g. The average biparietal diameter was 6.05±0.50cm, the average abdominal circumference was 18.74±2.23cm, and the femur length was 4.36±0.51cm.

The little guy's hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are becoming clearer. The body looks well-proportioned, but there is still little subcutaneous fat, the body is still very thin, and the skin is yellow. From this time on, a layer of white vanishing cream-like substance begins to adhere to the surface of the skin, which is called placenta. The placenta is a mixture of sebum secreted from the sebaceous glands and shed skin epithelium, which provides nutrition to the fetus until birth.

At this time, the fetus's thick hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes can be seen clearly, his bones are strong, his skin is wrinkled and red, and he looks like a little old man. But don't despise him because he is ugly! Before long, he will become a beautiful baby. His fingernails and toes are also starting to grow, and he's working very hard to grow them.

At 6 months of pregnancy, your lower abdomen becomes more prominent, your waist begins to thicken noticeably, and you become more and more pregnant. Because your body's center of gravity changes, you should pay special attention to safety when going up and down stairs. At this time, the fetus can already hear sounds and will continue to swallow, but he is not smart enough and does not know how to defecate.

I believe everyone is clear about how big a six-month-old fetus is. In order to protect the health of yourself and the fetus during pregnancy, you must adjust your daily life, develop good habits, keep a good mood, and ensure adequate nutritional intake. Only in this way can the fetus develop and grow better, and give birth to a healthier and more lively baby.
