The happiest thing during pregnancy is to compare books and guess how old the baby is. From looking like grapes or pears at the beginning, to looking like pomelos, watching the baby grow bigger day by day, and the belly also getting bigger day by day, that kind of happiness is something that no one can experience. So how old is a 24 week old fetus?
A 24 week old baby is approximately 30 centimeters long, weighing around 630 grams, with a femur length between 4.36-4.87cm, an average abdominal circumference of approximately 18.74-20.97cm, and an average biparietal diameter of approximately 6.05-7cm. During this period, the fetus's body is growing in a coordinated manner and may be thin and weak, but gradually it will increase in fat. At this time, the brain is developing rapidly, taste buds can play a role, and lung cells show a rapid growth pattern. The lungs are the latest to develop in the entire body.
Diabetes screening is required in the 24th week of pregnancy. You need to eat light the day before the examination. You should try not to eat food or drink water after 8:00 p.m., and you should also pause the fruit containing sugar to avoid affecting the examination results. If you feel dizzy and love sleeping during this period, it may be a sign of anemia. Therefore, it is necessary to take iron supplements in a timely manner, eat more iron rich foods, and if necessary, supplement with medication.
During this period, vegetable oil was sufficient for dietary cooking, as commonly consumed foods such as dairy, eggs, and meat all contain animal fats. Eating more fish may enhance the memory of pregnant women and promote fetal brain development. During this period, it is easy to suffer from constipation. It is recommended to eat more foods that moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, such as coarse grains, fruits, vegetables, honey, etc. Do not use laxatives casually.
