What is the level of fetal development at 18 weeks?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the development stage of a 18-week fetus?

Doctor's answer:

At 18 weeks: The average biparietal diameter is 4.25 ± 0.53'''. The average abdominal circumference is 12.41 ± 1.89'''. The femur length is 2.71 ± 0.46. This is the average at 18 weeks, and your baby is slightly smaller than average right now. Please focus on nutrition. Eat more for your baby. Generally, after 28 weeks, the baby will grow rapidly, so there is no need to worry. Many babies are still small at 7 months of pregnancy, and after that, the belly grows rapidly.
