To take good care of the fetus, parents need to understand every aspect of each time period, such as what to eat, what to learn, and so on. But some parents may only care about what the fetus likes, without understanding what the fetus fears. Now, let me tell you about what a five month old fetus fears.
There is a scientific and physiological basis for the fear of malnutrition in a five month old fetus. At the age of five months, the fetus begins to grow hair, and various organs in the body are gradually maturing. At this time, the energy intake required by the pregnant mother every day is several times higher than before.
Perhaps some expectant mothers do not change their daily diet because they are not aware of how afraid their fetus is of malnutrition at this time. Normally, in order to meet the needs of the fetus at this time, pregnant women should increase their daily energy intake by at least 300 calories to meet the needs of a 5-month-old fetus. At five months old, the fetus is most afraid that the pregnant mother will lose weight to ensure her figure, which is actually a great harm to the fetus.
If energy intake is reduced due to weight loss, or if there is already malnutrition, the fetus cannot obtain sufficient energy from the umbilical cord, and the resulting fetus is at risk of intellectual disability and underdevelopment. To ensure the healthy growth of a 5-month-old fetus, expectant mothers must pay attention to their diet.
