  32 weeks of pregnancy, standard for high uterine height and abdominal circumference

  1. Starting from the 16th week of pregnancy, the abdominal circumference is measured by the following method: the pregnant mother takes an upright position, unbuttons her clothes, fully exposes her abdomen, and wraps a leather ruler horizontally around her abdomen, with the navel as the reference point. The measured value is the abdominal circumference. The average weekly increase in abdominal circumference is 0. 8 centimeters. The fastest growth occurs between 20-24 weeks of pregnancy, with a weekly increase of 1. 6 centimeters; At 24-36 weeks of pregnancy, there is a weekly increase of 0. 8 centimeters; After 36 weeks of pregnancy, the growth rate of abdominal circumference slows down, with a weekly increase of 0. 3 centimeters. Based on the abdominal circumference at 16 weeks of pregnancy, the average increase in full-term abdominal circumference is 21 centimeters. When the abdominal circumference does not increase according to the numerical value, pregnant mothers may feel confused. In fact, the growth of abdominal circumference cannot be exactly the same. This is because:

  2. Before pregnancy, everyone's weight and abdominal circumference are different. The growth of abdominal circumference after pregnancy is influenced by factors such as fetal and uterine enlargement, as well as many factors related to the pregnant woman herself: rapid weight gain, rapid thickening of subcutaneous fat in the abdomen, and faster growth of waist circumference and abdominal circumference compared to others; Some pregnant women have severe pregnancy reactions, eat less, and have no significant increase in abdominal circumference in the early stages. It is not until the reactions disappear and weight gain occurs that the abdominal circumference begins to increase significantly; Some pregnant women have obvious water and sodium retention, which will also increase the abdominal circumference significantly.

  3. The growth of the uterus and fetus cannot be judged solely based on the increase in abdominal circumference. It should be analyzed in conjunction with other examinations. Pregnant women do not need to worry about the difference in abdominal circumference values. At the end of the 12th week of pregnancy, the height of the uterine fundus is approximately 2-3 fingers above the pubic symphysis, and by May of pregnancy, it will reach 1 finger below the navel. Pregnant mothers can feel the position of the uterine floor themselves, and the height of the uterus is about 18 centimeters.

  4. Between 16-36 weeks of pregnancy, the uterine height increases by 0 per week. 8 to 1. 0 centimeters, with an average of 0. 9 centimeters. On weekends of 24, use one horizontal finger on the navel, and on weekends of 28, use three horizontal fingers on the navel. At 31 weeks of pregnancy, the normal value of uterine height should be 25-31. 5 centimeters, with a normal abdominal circumference of 84-95 centimeters. Low uterine high values often indicate fetal intrauterine growth retardation or malformation; High uterine height indicates multiple pregnancies, fetal abnormalities, macrosomia, breech presentation, fetal head elevation, polyhydramnios, placenta previa, etc.

  The above is the information compiled by the editor regarding the standard of high uterine and abdominal circumference at 32 weeks of pregnancy. I believe it will be of great help to everyone. Everyone must understand the purpose of these data. If the measured data is outside the normal range, it is a sign of illness in the body.
