Expectant mothers are always very happy when they are pregnant, and families are looking forward to the birth of their children. The growth of the fetus in the womb is also highly concerned, and they hope to see their baby as soon as possible. So, how to tell if their fetus is growing normally and how old is the baby at 34 weeks of pregnancy?
At 37 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is already full-term and ready for delivery at any time. However, at 34 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman is already in the late stage of pregnancy, and there is no need to worry about premature birth. Even if the baby is premature, they will survive outside the uterus. A normal 34 week fetus has a body length of around 43cm and a weight of around four pounds.
At this stage, most fetuses are preparing for birth by transitioning to a head down position, with the head entering the pelvis. At this stage, the fetus will often sleep, promoting brain development. Expectant mothers who have entered 34 weeks should pay more attention to fetal movement, especially when experiencing regular abdominal pain and vaginal discharge. It is likely that the child is about to be released and should go to the hospital for delivery in a timely manner.
Many fetuses have a faster delivery rate in the late stages of pregnancy. At this time, pregnant women can clearly see that their belly is descending from the middle, which is when the fetus's head enters the pelvis. During this period, they can prepare what the baby needs after birth, be ready for delivery at any time, and immediately see the birth of the baby.
