Pregnancy is the most beautiful journey, although it is difficult, it is also a very happy thing. From pregnancy to 20 weeks, doctors measure the abdominal circumference of pregnant women during each prenatal examination, as abdominal circumference is a standard for judging fetal health. So, as a pregnant woman, do you know the standard for high abdominal circumference in 28 week pregnant women?
28 week pregnant women with high uterine and abdominal circumference standard
The normal range for uterine height at 28 weeks of pregnancy is around 23-28cm, and each pregnant woman's body varies, so the uterine height and abdominal circumference are different without a specific range. As long as the fetus is normal during prenatal examination, it is sufficient.
The concept of palace height
1. Uterine height refers to the length from the pubic symphysis of the lower abdomen to the bottom of the uterus, and is one of the data used to determine the size of the uterus. Simply put, it is necessary to measure the size of the uterus in pregnant women. Uterine height usually needs to be measured together with abdominal circumference, and it is usually required to be measured during every prenatal examination starting from 20 weeks of pregnancy.
2. Measuring uterine height and abdominal circumference during each prenatal examination helps to dynamically observe fetal development and timely detect pregnancy abnormalities such as intrauterine growth retardation, macrosomia, or polyhydramnios, which may be corrected through timely treatment.
3. The method of measuring uterine height: After the pregnant woman urinates, lie flat on the bed and use a soft ruler to measure the distance from the midpoint of the pubic symphysis to the bottom of the uterus. Generally, measurements are taken every 4 weeks starting from 20 weeks of pregnancy; Measure every 2 weeks during 28-35 weeks of pregnancy; Measure once a week after 36 weeks. Draw the measurement results on the pregnancy chart to observe whether the fetal development matches the gestational age.
The abdominal circumference index at 28 weeks is approximately 23-28cm, which varies from person to person. Pregnant women can rest assured as long as they undergo regular prenatal check ups and everything is normal, without worrying too much about the size of their abdominal circumference. Some pregnant women have a large belly but give birth to small children, while others have a small belly but give birth to large children. So pregnant women can relax and focus on safe pregnancy.
