How big is the 5-month-old fetus?

In clinical medicine, every four weeks is considered a gestational month, so five months of pregnancy is equal to 20 weeks. At this time, the fetus is about 25 cm long, 16 cm long from top to bottom, and weighs about 320 grams. At 20 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's skin is dark red, vernix caseosa has already appeared, the body is covered with vellus hair, and a small amount of hair can be seen. Swallowing and urination functions began to appear. From this week of pregnancy, the weight of the fetus will increase linearly, and the fetal movement will continue to increase. 10% to 30% of the time, the fetal movement is relatively active.

The 5-month-old fetus weighs about one pound, the biparietal diameter is about 5 cm, and the femur length is about 3 cm. This is an approximate range, and definite and accurate measurements must be made through B-ultrasound. There are relatively normal comparison values, and within the normal range, the fetus is considered to be developing well. One of the key contents of the pregnancy checkup during the 22-24 weeks of pregnancy is the malformation screening, also known as the major fetal malformation screening, which is a must-check item. If the fetus is found to have obvious deformities, an induced abortion may be necessary to terminate the pregnancy.

Five months of pregnancy equals 20 weeks. At this time, the fetus's biparietal diameter reached 4.6 cm, the baby's head circumference was about 17.7 cm, the fetal abdominal circumference was about 15.0 cm, the fetus's femur length was about 3.3 cm, the body length was about 25 cm, the top-to-rump length was about 16 cm, and the weight was about 320 grams. At this time, the baby's skin is dark red, vernix caseosa appears, the body is covered with vellus hair, and a small amount of hair can be seen. The effects of swallowing and urinating begin to appear. From this week onwards, the weight of the fetus will increase linearly, and the fetal movement will continue to increase. 10% to 30% of the time, the baby's fetal movements are relatively active.

A baby at five months of pregnancy weighs about 320 grams and is about 25 centimeters long. At five months, the baby's weight will increase linearly. Therefore, we must pay attention to nutritional balance, appropriately increase high-quality protein and foods high in calcium, and at the same time, do a four-dimensional examination. Before six months, we must mainly check whether the fetal organs and body development are abnormal. At least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise should be carried out every day. You can choose your favorite sports such as walking, swimming, and housework.
