Prenatal examinations conducted in the early stages of pregnancy can provide timely information on the development status of embryos in the uterine cavity. Because early pregnancy is the stage of embryonic differentiation, although the fetus may not experience rapid growth compared to mid pregnancy, it should still gradually develop steadily. So, how old is the fetus at 88 days of pregnancy?
At the 88th day of pregnancy, the fetus in the uterus has begun to take shape, but the fetal head is relatively large, occupying about one-third of the entire body, and the fetal length is only about 8 centimeters, with a buttock length of about 6 centimeters. The fetus's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose are already able to distinguish clearly, and the subtle toes and fingers also have preliminary shapes, and the limbs can also have slight movements.
At 88 days of pregnancy, the female uterus has already grown out of the pelvic cavity, and the uterine floor can be felt above the pubic symphysis. Women at this stage of pregnancy also need to go to the hospital for targeted prenatal check ups, including blood tests, virus testing, and NT value measurements to screen for fetal abnormalities or chromosomal risks.
Women in early pregnancy should also pay attention to strengthening their diet and nutrition, and achieve a reasonable combination of prenatal meals. If pregnant women are able to eat normally, it is not recommended to deliberately supplement high nutrient foods or nutritional supplements, to avoid giving birth to a huge baby, and it is also not conducive to the physical health of pregnant women. Throughout the entire pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to the scientific combination of dietary nutrition and reasonable supplementation.
