What does the fetus grow at 17 weeks of pregnancy

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Could you please tell me what the fetus is developing at 17 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The fetus now looks like a large onion, about 13 centimeters long and weighing about 140~170 grams. The pregnant woman moves only when she is hungry. She also moves when it's time to sleep at night, or when your husband strokes her abdomen. As the baby grows, it will move more frequently during the day and night. Currently, it's still small, and the fetal movements are mainly concentrated between 8 PM and 10 PM.
