In fact, pregnant women know that as their pregnancy progresses, the weight of the fetus will continue to increase. However, in order to keep the baby healthy and reduce the burden on the mother, they will try their best to control their own and the weight of the fetus, especially for those pregnant women who want to give birth naturally. The weight of the baby is very important. Will the fetus still gain weight after 37 weeks?
In fact, under normal circumstances, the weight of the fetus may continue to increase before it is born, mainly because the placenta continuously provides nutrients to the fetus until it is delivered, and in the late stages of pregnancy, the growth and development rate of the fetus will be relatively fast. That is to say, if pregnant women do not pay attention to control, the fetus will continue to gain weight after 37 weeks of pregnancy.
What should be done at 37 weeks of pregnancy to maintain the weight of the fetus and the condition of the mother?
At 37 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay special attention to their diet, because in the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus absorbs nutrients faster, so the rate of weight gain will also be faster. If not controlled properly, it will lead to the fetus being too big, which will increase the difficulty of delivery. Therefore, after 37 weeks of pregnancy, although it is necessary to ensure comprehensive nutrition, it is also important to control weight and avoid overeating or excessive supplementation.
