After pregnancy, women should always pay attention to their physical changes and regularly go to the hospital for prenatal check ups. We cannot directly judge whether the fetal development is normal from the surface, we can only understand it through ultrasound examination. Some pregnant women may be particularly worried when they find that the fetal head is smaller than the gestational age during ultrasound examination. So what happens when the fetal head is smaller than the gestational age?
Head circumference is the longest circumference around the head, and like human height, the size of a fetus's head also varies from person to person. The doctor calculates the size of the fetus's head based on the examination results, which refers to a rough estimate. It's okay to keep your head down for two weeks, it's a normal situation. Don't worry too much, just keep checking.
Under normal circumstances, fetal development can be inferred by gestational age. Fetal development cannot keep up with gestational age, which is commonly referred to as a fetus smaller than gestational age. Essentially, it is also a type of developmental disorder. If you are not very young, there is no need to worry too much. Just pay more attention to strengthening nutrition in daily life.
Diet during pregnancy is very important, and if not absorbed enough, it can affect fetal development. So during pregnancy, it is important to eat more nutritious food and supplement all kinds of nutrients. Do not be picky eaters, otherwise the fetus will suffer from malnutrition. During pregnancy, it is advisable to eat less greasy, spicy, and cold foods, preferably not, as these foods are not conducive to fetal development.
