Pregnant women need to pay attention to the condition of the fetus at all times after pregnancy. Generally, pregnant women need to pay attention to fetal movements during the mid pregnancy period, and at a certain point, they also need to count the number of fetal movements. However, how many months is it for a pregnant woman to be 21 weeks pregnant?
The pregnant woman is 21 weeks pregnant, which is already five months pregnant and belongs to the mid pregnancy stage. Moreover, at 21 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal weight is about 360 grams and the height is about 25 centimeters. At this time, the fetus can not only swallow amniotic fluid but also absorb nutrients from it. The fetus can still move around in the pregnant woman's uterus.
At 21 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women should prevent anemia because at this time the fetus will absorb a large amount of iron. So pregnant women should eat more iron rich foods, such as lean meat, pig liver, etc. When necessary, pregnant women should follow medical advice and take iron supplements to prevent discomfort. In addition, due to increased blood flow during pregnancy, an enlarged uterus can compress the pelvic veins, leading to lower limb varicose veins in pregnant women.
So pregnant women should avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, and it is best to raise the twins while sleeping to promote blood flow back. Moreover, it is best for pregnant women to sleep on their left side during rest, which can also help the fetus develop and reduce physical discomfort. In addition, pregnant women should also prevent constipation, but they cannot squat in the bathroom for a long time, otherwise it will affect fetal movement and be detrimental to fetal health.
