Fetal kidney development

Many mothers don't know much about the growth of the fetus. When the fetus is in the mother's womb, all aspects of the body are slowly formed, and the situation is different every month. So how is the fetus's kidney development? The stages are also different at different times. So mothers also consult on such issues to have more understanding of such issues.

Fetal kidney development:

One month: Every month the new life grows faster than at any other time, and grows ten thousand times larger than the fertilized egg. The arteries and veins have been formed and blood is flowing; the brain, kidneys, and digestive tract have taken shape; the umbilical cord has begun to work; and the heart has formed and is beginning to beat.

Two months: The embryo has begun to take on the appearance of a human. The head accounts for half of the body. The embryo's face has already appeared, there is a tongue and immature gums, there are fingers on the arms, knees, ankles and toes on the legs, and the embryo's body is covered with a thin layer of skin; the brain and sexual organs are beginning to develop, the heart beats steadily, the stomach begins to secrete digestive juices, and the liver begins to produce blood cells; the kidneys have begun to work and can excrete urine from the blood; the skin sensitivity is enhanced and can respond to tactile stimulation.

Three months: The fetus's organ systems begin to work, and it can breathe and excrete. The fetus is about 6 to 10 cm long and weighs about 50 grams. The external genitalia have begun to develop, the mouth can open and close, swallow, and the limbs can move; it can respond to external stimuli. If you touch his eyelids, he will squint; if you touch his palm, his fingers can bend; if you touch his lips, he will smack his lips; touch his heels, and his toes will spread into a fan shape.

Four months: The fetus is about 13 to 17 cm long and weighs about 125 grams; the skeletal system develops further and the placenta is fully formed; the fetus's limbs are more mobile and the mother can feel fetal movement; and muscles develop.

Five months: Fine hair grows on the head, eyebrows and eyelashes also grow out, and the whole body is covered with down-like fetal hair; the body length is 20 to 30 cm, and the weight is 250 to 300 grams; it takes a suitable position in the uterus; if you put your ear close to the mother's abdomen, you can hear the fetal heartbeat.

Six months: The fetus is about 33 cm long and weighs 600-700 grams. Fat begins to appear under the skin. The eyes are fully grown and can open and close, look around, breathe normally, have crying expressions, and the hands can be clenched into fists.

Seven months: The fetus is about 40 cm long and weighs up to 1000 grams. All organs are fully developed and it has basic living abilities.

Eight months: The fetus has grown to 43 cm in length and weighs about 1750 grams. It grows very rapidly at this time, almost filling the entire uterus. As the space for activity becomes smaller, fetal activity decreases. Fat gradually grows under the fetus's skin in preparation for adapting to temperature changes outside the uterus.

Nine months: The fetus has grown to 50 cm in length and weighs about 2,500 grams. If born at this time, the chances of survival are greater.

Ten months: The fetus is mature and is called a full-term fetus or a mature baby. The average weight of a newborn at the time of delivery is around 3000 grams and the body length is about 50 centimeters. If it comes into the world, the crisp cry, lively limb movements, strong desire to breastfeed, and smooth and delicate skin show an incomparably strong vitality.

By understanding the development of the fetal kidneys, mothers should also pay attention to their diet during the development of the fetus and make reasonable arrangements. This will be of great help to the development of the fetal kidneys. Also, during pregnancy, women should pay attention to their emotions and not be too nervous or excited, as this will have a great impact on the fetus' body.
