The later in pregnancy, the more worried pregnant women become. Because at this time, the fetal indicators have matured and are about to give birth. Some pregnant women have a better appetite, which can lead to faster weight gain, and this situation inevitably raises concerns about whether the rapid growth may be problematic. So how many pounds can the fetus grow in the last two months of pregnancy?
Normally, during the last 2 months of pregnancy, there may be an increase of 0.5 kilograms of weight per week. That is to say, the weight of pregnant women may increase by about 4 kilograms within two months. However, due to the different maternal environments in which each child is placed, there must be individual differences. At 8 months of pregnancy, the baby's weight is approximately 2 kilograms, and the specific growth rate is closely related to whether the placental function is normal, the fetal development status, and the mother's physical condition. Generally, a fetal weight of around 3.2 kilograms at full term is the most ideal.
If a pregnant woman gains weight too quickly during pregnancy, it is easy to cause the fetus to grow too big, and then it will not be possible to have a normal delivery. Therefore, pregnancy does not mean that one should keep eating, but also control their diet appropriately. In terms of weight indicators, it is generally recommended that the weight gain during the period from week 13 to delivery does not exceed 12.5kg.
In short, it is necessary to control one's diet, otherwise it will definitely have an impact and vaginal delivery will be more troublesome. If a cesarean section is performed, it is also possible, but the postpartum recovery time will be longer and more painful.
