Many pregnant women not only have to endure physical discomfort for a long time, but also resist a series of negative emotions, but expectant mothers are happy in their hearts. Because the fetus is growing day by day, feeling the fetus playing and sleeping in its belly every day. Next, let's learn about the development of the fetus at six months of pregnancy.
Fetal development at six months of pregnancy
A six month old baby has already fully developed, but their weight will still increase significantly because the subcutaneous fat of the fetus is not yet abundant, growing at a rate of approximately 250 grams per week. At this point, the fetus almost occupies the entire space of the uterus, with noticeable fetal movements. From the colored photos, you can see the baby's eyebrows and eyelids. The skin on the little guy's body is wrinkled and looks like a little old man. But moms, don't laugh at babies: this is to leave room for subcutaneous fat growth. They are also covered with a white, smooth substance to protect the child's skin.
Physical changes in pregnant women at six months of pregnancy
Most women experience foot cramps, which are caused by the intake of calcium from the mother during fetal development, leading to an increase in calcium levels in the mother's body and causing foot spasms. In addition to consuming more calcium rich foods in diet, appropriate massage can also be given to the affected area. But if neither of the above methods relieve pain and convulsions, it is possible that there is a blockage in the blood tubules. Please contact a doctor as soon as possible.
During pregnancy, the breasts of pregnant women will enlarge to meet the needs of breastfeeding. But rapid breast enlargement also brings certain pressure to the breast, resulting in swelling of the breast ducts in pregnant women, which is more pronounced in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. There will be a very soft lump when touched. It is recommended that pregnant mothers do not wear bras with steel rings, and of course, you should also ensure that you receive sufficient support from the bra. Do not wear a tight top at this time to avoid hindering breast development due to compression.
