What tests should pregnant women take at 33 weeks?

Pregnant women should undergo normal check-ups during the 33rd week of pregnancy. This period is close to the time of delivery, so the frequency of check-ups should be higher, mainly to confirm the development of the fetus and prepare for delivery. If the fetal position is found to be abnormal, it should be adjusted in time. If the fetus is normal after examination and the pregnant woman is ready for delivery, she should start preparing items related to delivery.

What tests should pregnant women do at 33 weeks?

1. Routine prenatal check-up items: Between the 28th and 36th weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of prenatal check-ups is once every two weeks. Prenatal check-up items include routine items such as blood pressure, weight, uterine fundus height, abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate, fetal position, blood routine, and urine routine. These basic items are important monitoring indicators for expectant mothers' pregnancy care and help doctors have a more comprehensive understanding of the basic conditions of expectant mothers. In addition, starting from this week, fetal heart monitoring will be included in routine examinations.

2. Key prenatal examination items: Fetal position examination, that is, checking the position of the fetus in the mother's uterus. The posture of the fetus in the womb before birth is very important, and in medicine, fetal position is also used as one of the bases for choosing the method of delivery. Malposition of the fetus can bring varying degrees of difficulty and danger to delivery. Timely detection of malposition of the fetus is conducive to early correction and is of great significance for the prevention of dystocia. The best time to adjust the fetal position is between 30 and 32 weeks of pregnancy.

33 weeks fetal development standard

The fetal length was about 41.5 cm and the fetal weight was 2000 g. The average biparietal diameter was 8.50±0.47cm, the average abdominal circumference was 27.78±2.30cm, and the femur length was 6.42±0.46cm.

The baby's current appearance is very similar to that at birth. His skull is very soft now, and there are gaps between each skull. This is to prepare for the fetus's head to pass smoothly through the vagina during delivery. But the bones in other parts of the fetus' body have become very strong. At this time, you should pay attention to the position of the fetal head. Whether the fetal position is normal is directly related to whether you can give birth normally.

How to prepare for childbirth during pregnancy

If you are having a natural birth, please prepare your ID, money, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, baby supplies, your own clothes, slippers, underwear, and some spare clothes.
