Malnutrition in pregnant women leads to small fetus

Prenatal check-ups during pregnancy are very necessary, as they can observe the growth and development of the baby. Many pregnant women also cooperate closely with doctors to do prenatal check-ups, but some pregnant women find that their fetuses are one week smaller during prenatal tests, which makes them very worried, and they don’t know what causes this situation. Next, we will introduce to you what to do if pregnant women are malnourished and have small fetuses.

What should I do if the pregnant woman is malnourished and the fetus is small?

1. If the fetus is small in the early pregnancy and other pregnancy test indicators are normal, pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much. They should insist on regular pregnancy checkups and follow the doctor's advice. There is a high possibility that the fetus will grow back home in the later stage. In addition, pregnant mothers should carefully check the number of weeks of pregnancy to determine whether they have calculated the time incorrectly.

2. If some bad habits of pregnant mothers affect the physical and mental health of the fetus and cause the fetus to be too small, pregnant mothers should change bad habits immediately and consider the physical and mental health of the fetus.

3. If the fetus is found to be small before 28 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant mothers should have a chromosome check to determine whether there is a problem with the sex chromosomes.

4. If the fetus is too small due to malnutrition of the pregnant mother, the pregnant mother should eat more nutritious foods. During pregnancy, she should not only focus on eating enough, but also eat well and pay attention to the diet to promote digestion.

5. Pregnant mothers should also ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Adequate rest is conducive to increasing the blood volume of the embryo and providing the fetus with more CO2 and nutrients.

The question of what to do if the fetus is small should depend on the specific situation. If it is a little small, it does not matter and you don't need to worry too much. If it is much smaller, you should pay more attention to supplementing nutrition under the guidance of a doctor to keep up with the baby's growth and development to prevent the birth of a low-birth-weight baby in the future, which will have a negative impact on the baby's growth.

Reasons for a week smaller fetus

There are many reasons why the fetus is one week smaller, but as long as all conditions of the fetus are normal, pregnant women do not need to worry too much. The physical condition of pregnant women has an impact on the growth and development of the fetus. If the pregnant woman is in poor health or has some diseases, the nutritional supply of the fetus will be greatly affected, resulting in a smaller fetus. In addition to gestational diabetes, this disease may cause a large fetus.

The health status of pregnant women will also have an impact on the growth and development of the fetus. Good health status is an important guarantee for the healthy growth and development of the fetus. If the pregnant woman is malnourished, the fetus will be too small and too light. In addition, poor diet in daily life, such as eating too salty or consuming high-calorie foods, will affect the normal growth and development of the fetus.

Although it is not very serious now, it still needs to be taken seriously. The nutrition of pregnant women must keep up to ensure the health and development of the fetus. Pay attention to the diet structure and hope to adjust back home. In addition, every pregnant woman should cooperate with prenatal checkups.
