How old is a 19 week old fetus

  After pregnancy, pregnant women need to undergo prenatal check ups almost every month, mainly to see the baby's development and whether the pregnant woman's body is normal. And it also requires taking an ultrasound to see the size and development of the fetus. So, what is the size of a fetus at 19 weeks of pregnancy?

  At 19 weeks, the fetus is actually 15 centimeters long and weighs around 200 to 250 grams. Because the fetus is about 5 months pregnant at 19 weeks, it is already able to freely swallow amniotic fluid, and other organs in the body are also developing. When doing an ultrasound, you can already see the approximate appearance of the fetus.

  Moreover, at 19 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's belly has already shown a noticeable bulge. However, if she is already thin, the shape of her belly may not change much during pregnancy. But there is no need to worry too much, mainly because everyone's physical condition is different. Whether the belly is big or small, as long as it is healthy during the examination, it will not affect the growth and development of the baby.

  However, pregnant women should not go on a diet to lose weight during pregnancy in order to maintain a slim figure, because the human body itself needs nutrients, and during pregnancy, there will be more nutrients to supplement due to having a baby.
