Pregnant women need to actively undergo prenatal check ups to understand the development of the fetus. The gallbladder is an organ used to store and concentrate bile. So, is it okay for the fetus to have a large gallbladder?
The large size of the fetal gallbladder does not have much to do with it, and it is often possible to continue the pregnancy without terminating it due to the large gallbladder, as long as the gallbladder is not abnormally enlarged. However, it is best for pregnant women to undergo regular check ups to see if there are any abnormalities in the amniotic fluid and esophagus. If a fetus has a gallbladder, as long as it does not exceed 5 times the normal range, it is sufficient. If it exceeds 5 times, it may cause liver damage and other hazards.
If the fetal gallbladder is large, it may be related to the development of the fetus itself, or it may be caused by medication taken by the pregnant woman during pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant women should strengthen prenatal examinations, do regular check ups, pay attention to balanced diet and nutrition during pregnancy, avoid excessive fatigue, and do not engage in strenuous exercise. If there are no special circumstances, it is best not to take medication casually.
Due to enhanced metabolism during pregnancy, the liver load capacity of pregnant women may increase, which may lead to high levels of bilirubin. An appropriate increase in bilirubin may not have a significant impact on the fetus, but if the increase is significant, it may cause fetal hypoxia. So it is recommended that pregnant women have a light and nutritious diet during this period, and eat less greasy food.
