How many weeks is 8 months pregnant?

Eight months of pregnancy means you are already in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. You must closely observe changes in your body. If you feel uncomfortable, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination in time. Under normal circumstances, there will be no abnormal test results. If this happens, you should get appropriate treatment as soon as possible. Also, don't eat too much carbohydrates to avoid constipation.

The third trimester refers to the period from the 28th week of pregnancy to the end of delivery (40 weeks), which includes the three months of pregnancy: August, September and October. (30-32 weeks) - After entering the late pregnancy, the intensity of fetal movement will gradually weaken. However, since many pregnant women lack certain medical knowledge, they are afraid that the weakening of fetal movement is due to some problems with the baby. However, this kind of thinking will cause pregnant women to feel anxious invisibly, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the fetus.

In the late pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to the number of fetal movements rather than the strength of the movements. Because in the late stage, the baby has grown in size and his limbs can bend, but there is no extra space in the uterus to restrict the fetus's movement in the mother's belly. Therefore, it is normal for the fetus's movement to weaken. Under normal circumstances, the average number of fetal movements in the morning, afternoon and evening is 5-10 times. It is abnormal if the average is less than 5 times.

In the late pregnancy, as the fetus grows and matures, the abdomen becomes larger and larger. The persistent weight-bearing pressure can lead to varying degrees of low back pain, pubic separation, pubic pain, groin pain and other problems. At this time, you can choose a shoulder-mounted maternity support belt to help relieve the abdominal weight pressure according to different situations. It is very important for protecting the mother and caring for the fetus.

Dietary considerations during late pregnancy:

Do not consume too much carbohydrates (staple foods) and saturated fats (such as cream, fried foods) to avoid the fetus being too large. You can eat more high-quality protein, such as fish and shrimp, and also eat fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement various vitamins and trace elements.
