Pregnant women are very concerned about the development of their fetus during pregnancy. Only when the fetus develops normally can they continue to conceive with peace of mind. The biparietal diameter can be used to estimate the length of the fetus. In the middle of pregnancy, the biparietal diameter of the fetus grows rapidly and then slowly increases. However, some pregnant women still do not understand where the biparietal diameter of the fetus refers to?
The fetal biparietal diameter refers to the widest distance between the two sides of the fingers. The value of biparietal diameter varies at different stages of pregnancy, and each fetus develops differently, so biparietal diameter may also differ. The biparietal diameter is related to many factors. If the biparietal diameter is too small, it may be due to irregular menstruation in pregnant women, leading to inaccurate gestational age. If there are no other abnormalities during prenatal examination, pregnant women do not need to worry too much.
Pregnant women are prone to feeling physically exhausted during pregnancy, so they often rest in bed. However, lying still for a long time can lead to a larger biparietal diameter of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should engage in appropriate exercise in their daily lives, which can not only prevent rapid weight gain but also benefit the subsequent delivery.
Although it is necessary to consume sufficient nutrients during pregnancy, pregnant women should not overeat, as this can easily lead to overnutrition and fetal biparietal diameter development. Therefore, as long as the diet is reasonable, it is sufficient to maintain a balanced nutrition. However, a larger biparietal diameter may also indicate the presence of hydrocephalus, which needs to be treated according to specific circumstances.
