The entire pregnancy period of a pregnant woman is around 40 weeks, and the fetus is full-term after 37 weeks. At this time, the pregnant woman can be ready to give birth at any time. When the gestational age exceeds 40 weeks, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check the condition of the fetus and placenta. If the placenta is already very mature but the fetus has not yet begun to move, injection of oxytocin or cesarean section may be necessary for delivery. So, how do you estimate when you became pregnant?
There are two main ways for pregnant women to calculate pregnancy. If a woman's menstrual cycle is very normal, the time of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of her last menstrual period. In addition, if a pregnant woman's menstrual cycle is irregular during normal times or if there is a delay in menstruation during the month of pregnancy, it is necessary to determine the pregnancy time through ultrasound.
Pregnant women undergoing color ultrasound can directly see the size of the gestational sac, which allows for the calculation of pregnancy time. Women must be careful not to eat unhealthy foods and avoid eating fried and spicy foods during the first three months of pregnancy. Also, be careful not to engage in intense exercise or come into contact with radioactive substances to avoid affecting the health of the fetus.
In general, the time of pregnancy for pregnant women can be counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, which is suitable for pregnant women with normal menstruation. Pregnant women with irregular menstruation or delayed menstruation need to determine the specific pregnancy time through ultrasound.
