Patient's question:
1.23 weeks + 6 days baby's actual size is equivalent to 22 weeks + 5 days2. A U-shaped depression is visible on the baby's neck skin
3. A non-echoic dark area with a size of approximately 5.452.61 CM is observed under the placental chorionic plate, with undetermined nature, but high possibility of being a blood sinus
What do these mean? What should I do if the baby is smaller than the gestational age? What is the cause of the neck depression? What about the placenta? I'm very worried, please help me take a look, thank you
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the actual size of the fetus is smaller than the gestational age, which may be related to your nutrition. It is recommended that you enhance your nutrition. For the baby's growth and development, you should eat more. Also, in the later stages of pregnancy, the baby grows and develops faster. If your weight is relatively low in the early stages, it is still possible to catch up by enhancing nutrition in the later stages. Generally, doctors will advise women with dangerous signs during prenatal examinations to rest in bed and prohibit sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
