How big is the fetus at 12 weeks pregnant

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How big is the fetus at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be performed 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and ensure proper nutrition, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods is crucial. Regular prenatal check-ups should be conducted, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, etc. According to your description, medication abortion can be performed between week 39 and week 49 of pregnancy. After week 49, surgical abortion is required. However, if the pregnancy exceeds three months, surgical abortion is no longer possible, and induction of labor must be performed. The duration of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. It is recommended to choose painless abortion.
