How big is your belly at 23 weeks of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, when a woman is three months pregnant or in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus's development does not change significantly, so it is not so obvious, but there are significant changes in the details. However, for the sake of the baby's health, many family members want to know the changes of the baby at each stage. So how big is the belly at 23 weeks of pregnancy?

The fetal length is 2 to 9 cm and the fetal weight is 9 to 23 g. The cheeks, jaw, eyelids and earlobes have developed and the face looks more like a human face.

9 weeks pregnant: The fetus is about 2cm long and still very light, about the size of a grape. The fetal head is larger than the fetal body, each part appears clearer, the skull begins to calcify, and the placenta begins to develop.

10 weeks of pregnancy: The baby is about 4cm long, the head-to-hip diameter is about 3-5cm, and the weight is about 13g.

11 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus grows to 6cm, the fetal organs develop further, and the placenta develops. B-ultrasound showed that the gestational sac had completely disappeared and the placenta was clearly visible.

12 weeks of pregnancy: The fetus grows to 9cm and weighs 23g.

At this time, the baby's tail has completely disappeared! It has already taken human form, and its growth rate is becoming more and more amazing. The body and legs have grown, but the head is still obviously larger. More importantly, the nose, gums, and vocal cords have grown, and the face can be recognized. The fetus' fingers and toes are completely separated, and the eyes, fingers and toes are clearly visible. Some bones begin to harden, and hair and nails begin to grow.

Warm reminder: When the pregnancy reaches three months, the fetus in the belly is actually about the size of a pear. If you want an exact number, you can calculate it according to the relevant formula: the length of the fetus (cm) in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy = the square of the number of months of pregnancy.
