Parents hope their children are smart and healthy, and besides postnatal development, innate factors are also very important for a baby's intelligence. Before the baby is born, pregnant women need to take some measures to promote fetal brain development, which is very beneficial for the child. So, how many months pregnant does it take to develop a brain?
During the 1-6 months of pregnancy in women, it is the cell division period of the fetal brain. The more and better the division during this stage, the higher the intelligence of the baby in the future. From the sixth month of pregnancy to prenatal period, it is the mature stage of fetal brain cells. If foods that can improve fetal intelligence can be supplemented, it is also beneficial for the baby's intelligence.
At 3 months of pregnancy, the fetal brain cell development enters its first peak period for women. During April and May, the development of baby brain cells is at its peak, and occasional memory traces may appear. At 6 months of pregnancy, the surface of the fetus's brain will develop grooves, and the hierarchical structure of its cerebral cortex will be basically formed. The number of brain cells will reach 14 billion.
If you want to promote your baby's brain development, pregnant women should supplement with DHA, which can be taken throughout the entire pregnancy when economic conditions permit. In addition, the nutritional intake of pregnant women should be comprehensive. People's brains require a lot of nutrients, such as protein, vitamins B, C, E, and calcium, so nutrient intake must be comprehensive.
