Fetus diagram at 7 months of pregnancy: Understand fetal development
Seven months of pregnancy is an important period for the development of the fetus in the mother\’s body. At this time, the fetus is very complete and various organs are developing rapidly. Although the fetus cannot hear sounds, it can feel external stimulation through touch. The following describes in detail the development of the fetus in the seventh month of pregnancy from four aspects: nutrition, lungs, body proportions and motor development.
1. Nutrition
A fetus at seven months of pregnancy weighs about 1 kilogram and is about 30 centimeters in length. During this period, pregnant women need to ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein, calcium, and iron to promote fetal growth and development. At this time, the fetal organ development has gradually taken shape and requires a large supply of nutrients. Calcium and phosphorus, in particular, support the healthy growth of fetal bones. In addition, pregnant women also need to ensure adequate vitamin intake, especially vitamin C and vitamin D, which contribute to the development of the fetus\’s immune system and nervous system.
2. Lungs
The lungs of the fetus in the seventh month of pregnancy are also developing increasingly perfect, and the breathing movement begins to become more active. The fetus can train its own breathing by swallowing and swallowing amniotic fluid. In addition, the number of alveoli also begins to increase and the surface area becomes smoother in order to better absorb oxygen. Hormones in the mother\’s body can also promote the formation of blood vessels in the lungs, further enhancing the fetus\’ breathing ability.
3. Body proportions
The body proportions of a fetus at seven months of pregnancy are very close to those at birth, and the proportions of the head, body and limbs have begun to gradually balance. At this time, the fetal head circumference and abdominal circumference are roughly equal, and the length of the limbs is also quite close to the body. At this time, the fetus\’ skin also becomes smoother and can absorb more fat, further enhancing its ability to keep warm.
4. Motor development
During the seventh month of pregnancy, the fetal movement ability gradually increases, and various joints such as the neck, arms, elbows, knees, and toes can move freely. At this time, the fetus can clamp and straighten its fingers, switch to different positions, and train muscle strength, which is helpful for the growth and development of the fetus. In addition, the fetus\’ arms and toes have developed quite fully, and the brain nerves have begun to allow the fetus to learn to swallow and breathe.
Conclusion
At seven months of pregnancy, fetal nutrition, lungs, body proportions and motor development all begin to enter a vigorous development stage. Around these aspects, pregnant women need to maintain good nutritional status and promote fetal growth and development. At the same time, you should also ensure adequate water intake, maintain body water balance, maintain a good posture, and gradually reduce work and stress to ensure a healthy pregnancy preparation.
