What is the weight of a fetus at 32 weeks?

The weight of the fetus at 32 weeks indicates that the baby has been growing in the mother's belly for 8 months. This means that parents must be very concerned about the weight of the fetus. If it is too light, expectant mothers must supplement nutrition in time. If it is too heavy, don't worry too much. Everything requires a gradual process. So what is the ideal weight for a fetus at 32 weeks? How should we measure the weight of a 32-week fetus? Let’s find out together.

Biparietal diameter: bpd stands for the biparietal diameter of the fetal head, which refers to the data measured by the diameter on both sides of the fetal head and is also one of the indicators for estimating the size of the fetus. According to general rules, it is less than 3 cm at 3 months of pregnancy; after 5 months of pregnancy, it is basically consistent with the month of pregnancy, that is, bpd is about 7 cm at 28 weeks (7 months) of pregnancy, about 8 cm at 32 weeks (8 months), and so on. After 8 months of pregnancy, an average weekly growth of about 0.2 cm is normal.

Placental position: The position refers to the location of the placenta on the uterine wall; the normal thickness of the placenta should be between 2.5 and 5 cm; some report sheets divide the placental position into grades III, where grade I is the early stage of placental maturity, with uniform echoes, and this change can be seen at 30 to 32 weeks of pregnancy; grade II indicates that the placenta is close to maturity; and grade III indicates that the placenta is mature. The closer to full term, the more mature the placenta is and the more uneven the echo is. If the placenta is detected to be in a too low position, it may block the cervix and affect normal delivery.

Amniotic fluid range: The value of the amniotic fluid range can indirectly determine whether there are any abnormalities in the fetus. Generally speaking, the depth of amniotic fluid is normal between 3 and 7 cm. More than 7 cm indicates increased amniotic fluid, and less than 3 cm indicates decreased amniotic fluid. If there is too much amniotic fluid, it may indicate that there may be abnormalities in the fetus's neural tube or digestive tract; if there is too little amniotic fluid, there may be problems with the fetal urinary system.

Fetal movement: Fetal movement can indicate the normal condition of the fetus in the uterus and is an important signal for predicting the safety of the fetus in the uterus. From the 18th to 20th week of pregnancy, most expectant mothers can feel fetal movement, which is mild at first and occurs less frequently. Fetal movements are strongest during the 28th to 32nd week of pregnancy. After the 36th to 38th week of pregnancy, the amplitude and frequency of fetal movements gradually decrease. Fetal movements are more even between 8 and 12 in the morning, least between 2 and 3 in the afternoon, and most frequent between 6 and 10 in the evening. If the report states "yes" or "strong", it is normal; if it states "no" or "weak", it may be that the fetus is sleeping, or it may be an abnormal situation and needs to be comprehensively analyzed in combination with other items.

Biparietal diameter: bpd stands for the biparietal diameter of the fetal head, which refers to the data measured by the diameter on both sides of the fetal head and is also one of the indicators for estimating the size of the fetus. According to general rules, it is less than 3 cm at 3 months of pregnancy; after 5 months of pregnancy, it is basically consistent with the month of pregnancy, that is, bpd is about 7 cm at 28 weeks (7 months) of pregnancy, about 8 cm at 32 weeks (8 months), and so on. After 8 months of pregnancy, an average weekly growth of about 0.2 cm is normal.

From the moment of pregnancy, I think every expectant mother is happy and blessed. The weight of the fetus at 32 weeks is the first problem encountered after pregnancy. No matter what the result is, expectant mothers must maintain a good attitude to face it. In daily life, expectant mothers should get more rest and supplement more nutrition to ensure that the fetus in the belly is adequately nourished and comes to this world safely.
