Pregnant women are always very concerned about the development of their fetus. Only when the fetus grows normally can they continue to conceive with peace of mind. However, the development of each fetus is different. Pregnant women can understand the development of their fetus through prenatal examinations. If there are any abnormal situations, they can seek timely improvement and treatment. However, how heavy is a 22 week old fetus?
A 22 week old fetus weighs around 350 grams and has a body length of approximately 27cm. However, this also varies from person to person, and the specific development situation depends on the time of conception. If the pregnancy is taken care of later, the fetal weight may be lighter. In addition, the fetal weight and nutrition are also related. Only by consuming sufficient nutrients can the fetal development be within the normal range. If there is long-term malnutrition, it can lead to a lighter fetal weight.
At 22 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women should undergo relevant examinations. As long as the examination is normal and the fetus is developing well, there are generally no major problems. The fetus can move freely in the amniotic fluid at this time, and pregnant women can feel the movement of the fetus. Although 22 weeks is not as dangerous as early pregnancy, pregnant women should try to avoid the stimulation of adverse factors.
At 22 weeks, the skin surface of the fetus is still wrinkled and appears red. Only when the fetus develops to a certain degree can the skin be lifted up. Pregnant women can also find a layer of white substance on the surface of the fetus, which is fetal fat, which has a certain protective effect on the fetus.
