Pregnant women will regularly go to the hospital for prenatal check ups, mainly to understand the development status of the fetus at this stage and see if there are any areas that do not meet the standards, so as to receive timely treatment. Only when the fetus develops and grows healthily and normally, pregnant women can rest assured. However, some pregnant women find that the growth rate of the fetus is not satisfactory after prenatal check ups. So, why hasn't the fetus grown much after a week?
The fetus hasn't grown much after a week, which may be due to the pregnant woman's preference for food or poor gastrointestinal absorption. This can lead to insufficient intake of nutrients, resulting in placental dysfunction, malnutrition of the fetus, and growth retardation. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to their diet and avoid bad habits such as picky eating. They should pay more attention to their own physical condition and seek timely examination and treatment if there are any abnormalities.
In addition, if the fetus is not very long, it may also be due to intrauterine hypoxia. Pregnant women should be vigilant and can improve it through oxygen therapy. At the same time, during pregnancy, it is important to keep track of fetal movement. Whether fetal movement is normal or not is related to the development of the fetus. Once there is an abnormal increase or decrease in fetal movement, measures should be taken as soon as possible to deal with it.
If the fetus does not grow for a week, it may also be due to a smaller gestational age. As long as the fetal development is within the normal range during ultrasound and other prenatal examinations, there is no need to worry, this is a normal phenomenon. Pregnant women tend to conceive later, so there may be some deviation.
