During pregnancy, mothers will use ultrasound to understand the development of the fetus's facial features and organs. If there is a significant deviation in the baby's development during the B-ultrasound process, it may be a sign of the baby's illness. So it is necessary to do relevant prenatal check ups during pregnancy. So is a short femur in a fetus a Down syndrome?
A short femur in a fetus does not necessarily indicate the presence of a disease in the baby, let alone Down syndrome. If the parents' height is low, it may also lead to a shorter femur during the baby's development. Therefore, paying attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy can to some extent compensate for congenital deficiencies. In addition, if the intake of calcium during pregnancy is insufficient, it may also lead to delayed development of the baby. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement calcium and high-quality protein appropriately during pregnancy, and expose the baby to more sunlight to promote calcium absorption, which can also lead to better development of the baby.
In addition, if the baby is relatively short after birth, mothers do not need to worry too much. Through postnatal nutrition supplementation and more exercise, the condition of short stature will be significantly improved. After the baby is born, it is recommended to use pure breast milk for feeding and let the baby drink milk until around 3 years old. This can provide sufficient calcium for the baby's growth and development, and is also helpful for improving the baby's immune system. Gradually, the gap between the baby and other children of the same age will disappear.
