A five month old baby already has the general outline of a baby and looks particularly cute. At this point, his eyelids have already matured, although they are closed, his eyeballs can rotate, and the baby's limbs are also formed. What are the precautions for expectant mothers in the fifth month of pregnancy?
1、 Be particularly careful when traveling. After the fifth month of pregnancy, the expectant mother's abdomen will become more prominent and grow rapidly. At this time, it may be difficult for the expectant mother to move and her body may appear bulky. So, when pregnant women are active at this time, they should be careful and slow down to ensure the safety of the baby and themselves.
2、 Pay attention to breast care. During this period, the breasts will swell and the elasticity and tension of both breasts will be lost, leading to sagging. We need to wear bras of appropriate size every day to provide support for our breasts. Then you can massage the breasts with some natural and non irritating skincare oils to promote breast development. And keep the nipples clean and wash them regularly. If there is swelling and pain in the breasts, hot compress can be used to relieve it.
3、 Detection of fetal movement. At five months, the fetus can already start moving in the uterus, so fetal movement may occur. We can feel the baby's movements by gently placing our hands on their abdomen. Expectant mothers can have their baby's fetal movements checked once a day, one hour each time. If there are more than three fetal movements within an hour, it indicates that the baby's development is good.
