What is the standard of fetal development at 28 weeks?

Now, with the rapid development of economy, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and at the same time, people's life pressure is getting greater and greater! Moreover, in this era when most people have only one child, more and more families are dual-child families! At this time, a woman from a new generation family who was pregnant attracted even more attention! Therefore, as the new generation of prospective parents, we must learn more about the relevant knowledge during pregnancy! Let’s talk about the baby’s condition at 28 weeks!

The baby in the womb will start dreaming from this week! But we have no way of knowing what we are dreaming about! The little guy's brain activity is very active now, so you need to supplement linolenic acid and linoleic acid in time to promote his brain development. Now you have to be more diligent and go for a prenatal check-up every two weeks. For the health of the fetus, it is worth the trouble.

The fetus is about 35cm long and weighs about 1150g. The average biparietal diameter was 7.24±0.65cm, the average abdominal circumference was 22.86±2.41cm, and the femur length was 5.35±0.55cm.

This week you will find that the baby's eyelashes have grown completely, but he is still working hard to store fat and practice breathing exercises, breathing in and out, to prepare for life outside the mother's womb after birth. You must praise him well!

During this period, the fetus can open and close its eyes, and has formed a sleep cycle. He really likes to put his fingers in his mouth and suck them.

You are now in the sprint stage! Starting this week, you will enter the third trimester. This week your weight will increase by about 6.8kg, and your uterine height will be around 21-24cm.

Your abdomen is leaning forward more and your body's center of gravity has moved below your abdomen. If you lose balance slightly, you will feel back pain or leg pain. Because the abdomen becomes heavier, the expectant mother will feel breathless if she lies flat on her back when resting, so it is best to sleep on her side.

After 28 weeks:

1. Increase the frequency of prenatal checkups: The 28th week of pregnancy marks the beginning of the late pregnancy. At this time, you should increase the frequency of prenatal checkups to at least once every two weeks. After 36 weeks, check every week.

2. Entering the perinatal period: The state stipulates that the period from the 28th week of pregnancy to the 4th week after delivery is the "perinatal period", that is to say, from now on you have entered the "perinatal period". At this time, the baby is no longer only under the management of gynecologists, but also pediatricians. During this period, you must be careful and go to the hospital in time for any abnormal situation.

3. Supplement linoleic acid: The baby's brain grooves are now beginning to grow, and in the next three months, sufficient linoleic acid and linolenic acid are needed for rapid brain development. Only deep-sea fish contain it in ordinary food, so it is best to eat some seafood fish every week. Norwegian salmon is rich in linolenic acid and linolenic acid, and is easy for the human body to absorb, but the price is a little expensive. In addition, you can also eat more seeds and nuts.

4. Reduce sexual life: As you enter the late stages of pregnancy, your sexual desire will decrease. In fact, this is also a psychological state to protect the fetus. In fact, during the 7th to 10th month of pregnancy, prospective parents should reduce their sexual life. Sexual intercourse should be completely avoided six weeks before the due date to avoid premature birth.

5. Prevent infectious diseases: When you enter the late stage of pregnancy, you need to undergo pathogen culture experiments to see if you are infected with chlamydia and gonorrhea, so as to determine your physical condition before delivery. During this period, you must pay attention to vaginal cleanliness to prevent the occurrence of vaginitis. Preventing these diseases is crucial for both you and your baby’s health!
