Nowadays, people attach great importance to eugenics and child rearing. Therefore, in modern society, pregnant women will actively undergo prenatal and pregnancy examinations to ensure that their babies can develop smoothly. Some pregnant women may find that the fetal head is two weeks larger during prenatal check ups. So why is the fetal head two weeks larger?
From a medical perspective, it is relatively normal for the fetal head to be slightly larger, because when the fetus develops in the mother's uterus, some may develop earlier and some may develop later, so there may be some differences in head circumference. As long as this difference does not exceed one month, it is considered normal and there is no need to be too nervous.
However, if the fetal head circumference is still too large in the mid pregnancy stage, it is necessary to be vigilant and try to eat less food that can easily cause the fetus to grow larger, and avoid the intake of high-fat foods as much as possible, because if the head circumference is too large, it may cause difficult delivery in the later stages of production.
Pregnant women need to undergo various prenatal examinations and B-ultrasound examinations in a timely manner throughout the entire pregnancy stage, B-ultrasound examination can determine the size of the fetus's head circumference and whether it is normal. When conducting a head circumference check on a fetus, in addition to checking if the fetal head circumference is normal, it is also necessary to examine the dark areas of the fetal head to see if there are any issues such as hydrocephalus. If the fetus has hydrocephalus, then the fetal head circumference will be much larger than the normal head circumference.
