Patient's question:
7 days, did an ultrasound showing biparietal diameter 8.9 cm, femur length 7.0 cm, placenta on the left, maturity II. Onset time and cause: Treatment: Help needed: Is it normal, how many pounds does the baby weigh?Doctor's answer:
It is a small fetus. The normal weight gain for expectant mothers before delivery should be between 12.5 and 15 kilograms, but many expectant mothers gain 5 kilograms just after becoming pregnant. Experts remind expectant mothers that balanced nutrition is the material basis for maintaining their health and the growth and development of the fetus, but excessive intake can lead to a large fetus. Expectant mothers should eat small meals frequently and try to consume natural foods as much as possible, while reducing the intake of high-salt and irritating foods. Weight gain should not exceed 1 kilogram per week. Expectant mothers who are prone to having large fetuses should undergo regular check-ups, especially during labor, both for general examinations and ultrasound checks. For those with prolonged delays and no possibility of a natural birth, cesarean delivery or other solutions should be considered early to reduce the risk factor.
