Pregnant women will undergo many physical examinations during pregnancy, one of which is progesterone test. Progesterone level is an important indicator for pregnant women to measure their physical condition during pregnancy. If the progesterone level is too low, it will have adverse effects on the fetus in the abdomen. So, what is the normal value of progesterone at eight weeks of pregnancy?
The normal progesterone level for an eight week pregnant woman should be greater than 65. If progesterone is too low, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice to take progesterone to supplement progesterone. Pregnant women need to pay attention to a balanced diet and balanced nutrition, regularly undergo prenatal check ups, and observe the development of the fetus in the abdomen in a timely manner. If the progesterone level is higher than this value, there is no need to worry too much, which means that the fetal growth and development are good.
Fetal condition at eight weeks of pregnancy:
1. The embryo is about 20 millimeters long and looks like a grape. The heart and brain have grown and developed very complexly, with a small amount of webbing between the fingers and toes. Teeth and palate gradually develop, ears continue to grow, fetal skin is as thin as paper, and clear blood vessels can be seen.
2. The fetus develops an appendix and pancreas, which secrete insulin to aid digestion. The liver begins to produce red blood cells, and a segment of the intestine begins to rush into the umbilical cord. The blood vessels in the umbilical cord become unobstructed, and oxygen and nutrients are transported back and forth to the fetus.
3. There is fetal movement at the beginning, which can be kicked, kicked, raised, etc. A tail bone similar to the tail appears at the coccyx and disappears automatically after a few weeks.
