The fetus grows and develops day by day in the pregnant woman's womb. Generally speaking, around four months of pregnancy, the fetus has basically completed its development, and the fetus is constantly changing at each stage. So, how old is the fetus at 15 weeks of pregnancy?
At 15 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman enters the middle stage of pregnancy. The height of the fetus is about 12-14 centimeters and the weight is about 50-70 grams. At this time, the fetus's sweat glands and taste buds gradually form, and the eyebrows also have a shape. The fetus has already taken on the appearance of a human, and the pregnant woman's belly also has a significant protrusion. At this time, the fetus's brain is constantly developing and improving, and hair is also growing. The fetus's activities will significantly increase, and it can even turn its head and make fists. The fetus's joints and limbs can also move, and pregnant women can feel fetal movements.
Although the fetal development has entered a relatively stable stage at this time, pregnant women should also pay special attention to the care of the fetus. The diet should be as diverse and comprehensive as possible, avoiding picky eating and overeating. They should eat more foods rich in high-quality protein and some fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins to maintain a balanced nutrition.
At 15 weeks of pregnancy, as the uterus of the pregnant woman continues to grow, the ligaments of the uterus will also be pulled, and the abdomen of the pregnant woman may occasionally feel pain. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to slow and gentle movements in their daily activities, avoid pulling on the abdomen, and also pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm.
