21 Week Pregnant Woman Belly Pictures

Women usually pay attention to the size of their abdomen during pregnancy. For many people, when the word "pregnant woman" is mentioned, I believe that most people have the image of a woman with a big belly in their minds. In fact, a woman's abdomen does not become larger as soon as she becomes pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy, a woman's abdomen is no different from that of an ordinary person. The larger abdomen will only become more obvious as the pregnancy progresses. So what is the normal size of the abdomen at 21 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Appreciation of pictures of pregnant women's belly at 21 weeks

1. The abdomen does not necessarily have to be very large at 21 weeks of pregnancy. Generally, a small abdomen may be caused by a small fetus or too little amniotic fluid. If the fetus and amniotic fluid are normal, it may be a case of individual differences. Some people have already gone full term and their abdomen is still not large, but the babies they give birth to are also very large. As long as the size of the fetus is consistent with the number of weeks of pregnancy, there is no big correlation.

2. At 21 weeks of pregnancy, the weight has increased by about 3.8-5kg. The uterus is at the same level as the navel, about 22cm from the toes. The uterine height is approximately between 17-21.5cm, and the fetal abdominal circumference is approximately between 80-91cm. It is no longer possible to distinguish between the waist and the abdomen. Because the center of gravity of the human body has shifted, the protruding abdomen shifts the center of gravity, and in order to maintain stability, you have to hold your abdomen up when walking.

2. What to eat during the 21st week of pregnancy

1. Expectant mothers will find that they can eat unusually well at this time, and many foods that they disliked before will now become their favorites. Therefore, you can make good use of this time to improve nutrition, enhance immunity, and prepare for future delivery and postpartum breastfeeding.

2. During this stage, the fetus will absorb a lot of iron contained in the pregnant woman's body. To prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia, expectant mothers should eat more iron-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, animal liver, fish, vegetables and fruits rich in copper, and iron-fortified cereals. Expectant mothers with symptoms of anemia can take iron supplements under the guidance of a doctor.

3. If it is winter or spring, expectant mothers should also pay attention to preventing influenza and drink more water on a regular basis. If you have mild cold symptoms, you can treat it by eating a light diet, drinking more nourishing soups, and taking Chinese herbal medicines such as Isatis root granules and cold and heat-clearing agents.
