For expectant mothers, the data obtained from various examinations during pregnancy is very important, because from these data, expectant mothers can determine whether the fetus is growing healthily and whether there are any unexpected situations. So, what is the standard for fetal femur development at 36 weeks of pregnancy? Let's learn more about it together with the editor
36 week fetal femur development standard
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, the standard for fetal femur development is generally 6.95 ± 0.47, but the standard varies depending on the fetal development. It is best to consult a doctor during the examination to ensure that everything is normal and there are no major issues.
What to do if the fetal femur is small
1. Measurement error: It is allowed to have an error of two weeks in measuring femur length after 30 weeks of pregnancy. As long as it is within this range, pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much.
2. Fetal hypoplasia: If the femur length measurement differs significantly from the standard value, it is likely to be fetal hypoplasia. Pregnant women should do a good job in monitoring the health of their babies and themselves. If they have irregular abdominal pain, redness and other symptoms, they should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
3. Congenital femur length in fetuses: Some fetuses have congenital femur length due to genetic factors. Experts say that congenital femur length can have an impact on the height of newborns, but this situation can be changed. Nowadays, babies' postnatal nutrition far exceeds their congenital influence. Therefore, after their birth, it is recommended to encourage them to drink more milk, supplement calcium, and strengthen physical exercise, which is very helpful for their height.
4. Calcium deficiency: Calcium deficiency during pregnancy may affect the length of the femur. It is recommended that pregnant women supplement calcium and high-quality protein appropriately, eat more calcium rich foods in their diet, such as milk, lean meat, bone soup, etc. In addition, pregnant women should expose themselves to more sunlight, which is beneficial for calcium absorption.
This article introduces the development standards of fetal femur at 36 weeks of pregnancy, as well as what to do when the fetus has a small femur, hoping to help expectant mothers with this situation. In fact, many fetuses may experience this situation. Expectant mothers need not worry too much. As long as they detect it early and cooperate with doctors to take various safety measures, the fetus can still be born smoothly and grow up healthily.
