Fetal development
The fetus at four months of pregnancy has taken shape, is about the size of a palm, and weighs about 25 grams. At this time, the baby\’s organs and body structure are relatively mature and can carry out basic movements and activities. In addition, the gender of the fetus has been basically determined. During this stage, the fetus\’s brain, nervous system, respiratory system, kidneys and other organs continue to develop and gradually adapt to the nutrients and oxygen provided by the mother.
Fetal nutritional needs
During the fourth month of pregnancy, the fetus\’s nutritional needs gradually increase. Pregnant women should control their diet and ensure adequate nutrition. First of all, extra protein is needed during pregnancy to support the growth and development of the fetus. Secondly, you need to supplement enough vitamins and minerals during pregnancy, such as folic acid, iron, calcium, etc. These nutrients are vital to both maternal and fetal health. Pregnant women can supplement adequate nutrition by eating more lean meat, soy products, eggs, vegetables and other foods.
Precautions for pregnant women
During the fourth month of pregnancy, pregnant women should pay special attention to protecting themselves and the health of their fetus. First of all, avoid exposure to harmful substances, chemicals and toxic gases, as well as sports and high-intensity exercises that may harm the fetus. Pregnant women should also pay attention to hygiene, keep indoor ventilation and clean, and avoid infection with viruses and bacteria. In addition, paying attention to your own physical changes during pregnancy and exercising can be beneficial during labor.
Signs of fetal stability
In fact, this issue is very complex and cannot be generalized. Most fetuses are stable by four months, but some babies may have some problems. Pregnant women can have regular prenatal check-ups to monitor fetal development and record fetal heart rate, fetal movement, amniotic fluid volume and placental condition. These monitoring results can help doctors determine whether the fetus is stable. Therefore, pregnant women need to take time for relevant prenatal check-ups to detect problems in time, which is beneficial to the health of the fetus.
Summary
At four months of pregnancy, the fetus is relatively stable, but pregnant women still need to pay attention to diet, hygiene and exercise. At the same time, pregnant women need to undergo regular prenatal check-ups to determine whether the fetus is stable and to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner. Keeping your body healthy helps the health and growth of your fetus.
