Detecting the abdominal circumference of pregnant women is of great significance in distinguishing fetal development. By observing changes in the uterine high abdominal circumference, pregnant women can better understand and promptly detect whether there is intrauterine growth retardation, macrosomia, or polyhydramnios. So, what is the reason for the decrease in abdominal circumference of pregnant women?
A decrease in abdominal circumference in pregnant women is more common in the late stages of pregnancy, indicating that the fetus has entered the womb. However, it cannot be ruled out that the fetus is abnormal. If there is no discomfort, it is usually not a problem, but if discomfort is felt, it is best to seek medical treatment. The monthly growth of the fetus is different, and it is important to know the circumference of each pregnancy.
Measuring uterine height in the later stages of pregnancy can estimate the weight of the fetus, so it is necessary to measure it during examination, and it can also determine the size of the uterus to see if it matches the gestational weeks. As the fetus develops, the abdominal circumference will continue to increase. If it remains unchanged for a long time or even shrinks, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check the reason.
There are many factors contributing to abdominal circumference, which may be caused by malnutrition. Pregnant women should pay attention to supplementing nutrition, maintaining a balanced diet, avoiding picky eating habits, and regularly check the condition of the fetus. If the abdominal circumference abnormally decreases, it cannot be ruled out that it is due to developmental abnormalities. Pregnant women should go to the hospital for examination and confirmation, strengthen the frequency of prenatal check ups, and treat this situation with caution. Pregnant women have different body weights and abdominal circumference sizes.
