My two babies were born at 38 weeks, Dabao 12 years old, and neither of them was born by themselves. Bauer is over 10 months old. He did it himself as soon as he was born.
After the two babies were born, they weighed nearly 7 kilograms and were 50 centimeters tall. All the scores are full marks. I opened my eyes as soon as I was born, and I can eat, drink and sleep, no different from the baby to be born.
When I was born at 38 weeks, there were only two situations, starting and not starting. My two babies are in both situations, and I can't see where they are not good. Acquired development also completely follows the law of infant development, and 3 lying, 6 sitting and 8 crawling all meet the requirements.
In fact, 37 weeks is full-term, and children born after 37 weeks are full-term, and do not need special care, such as entering the incubator and mechanical ventilation. 38 weeks is ideal.
The development of the 38-week fetus The fetus born at 38 weeks is mainly entangled in the immune system. It is said that children born at 38 weeks have worse immunity.
But according to my observation, Dabao, which didn't start, didn't show low resistance. He didn't have a fever until eight months later, and Bauer, himself, started to have a fever and caught a cold five months later.
Therefore, if the child is born at 38 weeks, no matter whether it is chosen or forced, there is no need to worry about health problems, and it has grown up.
This is my opinion. If you have any questions, please leave a message in the comment area for discussion.
Is the child born at 38 weeks healthy? Very healthy! A friend of Martin just gave birth to a little boy half a month ago, weighing 6 kg and 2 liang. The expected date of delivery is 20 days earlier, and he is pregnant for about 37 weeks, which is very healthy. Because it was a caesarean section, the mother and son stayed in the hospital for 5 days and then went home. The baby has some jaundice, but it is not serious. There is no need to take medicine or shine blue light.
In fact, in real life, many pregnant mothers will advance or postpone delivery. As long as the expected date of delivery is normal within 2 weeks and the fetus is full-term at 38 weeks, unless there are special circumstances, they will be very healthy.
At the 38th week of pregnancy, the fetal length is about 47.5cm, and the fetal weight is about 3 100g g. At this time, a thin layer of fluff and most of the white fetal fat gradually fall off, and the skin wrinkles gradually disappear. The fetus has a strong grip, the organs have been fully developed, and the circulatory, respiratory and digestive organs, led by the heart, lungs and liver, have been formed, and have the ability to survive independently outside the mother. At this time, the fetal delivery will be healthy except for special circumstances, but it may be a little more jaundice, which can also be solved! Mothers don't need to worry!
However, unless there are special factors that must be delivered, it is recommended that mothers who have caesarean section choose to be pregnant for about 39 weeks before giving birth; Try to be mature and give birth naturally!
Because the fetus is full-term after 37 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus born at this time can survive normally. And most pregnant women usually give birth between 37-4 1 week.
Babies born at 38 weeks are not premature. At this time, the baby has matured and the baby born at this time is very healthy.
Newborns born at 38 weeks of pregnancy are not considered premature, and usually do not have complications related to premature infants. Most of them are healthy. This is no different from a baby who is 40 weeks pregnant.
Don't worry!
Topic-specific questions:
Babies born at 38 weeks are very healthy, not premature. In terms of time, the baby has matured. As long as the baby starts it, there will be no problem and there will be no bad growth.
Many mothers always pay attention to the growth cycle of the fetus when they are pregnant. Almost all treasure mothers will calculate the baby's due date in advance. At the same time, I will go to the hospital for examination at different stages to confirm the baby's growth and development. According to the baby's development, the doctor will give corresponding opinions and suggestions.
The following is further explained according to the baby's expected date of delivery and the growth index of the baby at 38 weeks. 1, the expected date of delivery of the baby, is it premature in 38 weeks?
The expected date of delivery of a baby is usually 36 to 42 weeks. Full-term children are generally born at this time, weighing between 5.5 and 8 kg, and have no disease. A healthy child after birth is a full-term child.
Children who are 38 weeks old, especially those who do it themselves, are full-term. Not precocious. There is no worry about stunting.
2. Fetal growth index at 38 weeks
Generally speaking, the average fetal length at 38 weeks is about 47.5cm, the average weight is about 3100 g, the biparietal diameter is 9.08±0.59cm, the abdominal circumference is 30.63±2.83cm, and the femur length is 7.20±0.43cm. As long as these indexes are met, they are all normal.
3. For children with caesarean section,
If pregnant women choose caesarean section, they must wait at least 39 weeks of pregnancy. Otherwise, it will increase the risk of respiratory diseases, which is also the reason why many premature babies are prone to pneumonia in children.
According to an American study, among 24,000 babies who choose caesarean section, more than 1/3 were born by caesarean section 39 weeks ago. Babies born by caesarean section at the 38th week of pregnancy have a double risk of neonatal diseases such as respiratory system compared with those born at the 39th week or full term. Babies born between 37 and 38 weeks are four times more likely to get sick than normal babies.
Therefore, Dr. John Thorpe, a professor of obstetrics at the University of North Carolina in the United States, said that 39 weeks of pregnancy is the best time for caesarean section. At the same time, Lin Yuzhi, director of pediatrics at National Taiwan University Chengda Hospital, pointed out that pregnant women should not choose caesarean section before 39 weeks of pregnancy without medical reasons, so as to avoid serious complications, especially respiratory diseases.
Hello! Ma Bao Mu Mu is here to answer your question!
Is the child born at 38 weeks healthy? In theory, a 37-week-old baby is full-term, and a 38-week-old baby is generally healthy as long as there is no disease.
The 38-week-old baby is about 47.5cm long and weighs 3 100g. The baby's biparietal diameter is about 9.08 × 0.59 cm, the femur is about 7.20 × 0.43 cm, and the abdominal circumference is about 30.63 × 2.83 cm. This week, the baby's thin layer of fluff and white fetal fat gradually began to fall off, and his skin no longer looked wrinkled like a little old man. The placenta of pregnant mommy began to show signs of aging, and all parts of the baby's body, including the respiratory system, were fully developed. No matter which day you were born this week, your baby is not premature. Congratulations!
We know that the expected date of delivery of pregnant mommy is in the 40th week of pregnancy, but in fact, there are very, very few babies born on this day, only 5%. It is normal that the expected date of delivery is two weeks earlier or two weeks later. There are also many pregnant mothers born at 38 weeks around Mu Mu, and their babies are healthy, so pregnant mothers don't have to worry too much about this. If there are no special circumstances, it is best to wait for the baby to "fall into the melon"!
Whether the baby is healthy or not depends on how you compare it. Compared with the 37-week-old baby, the 38-week-old baby must have more mature organs. What if compared with a 40-week-old baby? It could be worse, that's all.
In China, babies born at 37 weeks are always regarded as "full-term babies" and babies born at 42 weeks are regarded as "overdue pregnancies". The American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has postponed the term standard to 39~4 1 week of pregnancy, so according to this standard, a fetus born at 38 weeks of pregnancy cannot be called a "full-term baby".
Is the baby born at 38 weeks healthy? Compared with babies born at 40 weeks, there may be symptoms of immature fetal lung development, such as respiratory distress. That is to say, we often say that the baby has shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, cyanosis, groaning, chest sinking when inhaling, nose flapping, blue face and rales in the lungs, which will turn into neonatal pneumonia in severe cases.
It is precisely because of the above situation that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists revised the "full-term" standard for newborns. Personally, I think this practice is worth popularizing in our domestic medical field, so don't stick to the old standards. After all, children are related to our future, even if the baby can stay in the mother's stomach for one more day, it is precious!
But the immature development of the baby's fetal lung mentioned above is only a probability. Speaking of probability, it may or may not happen to the baby. Generally speaking, the fetal lungs are basically mature at 36 weeks of pregnancy, but the growth and development progress of each baby is different, and some babies will not mature until 39 weeks. This individual difference is very large.
At the 4th week of pregnancy, the embryo showed the original trend of bronchus and lung, and at the 5th week of pregnancy, lung buds appeared. At the 8th-9th week of pregnancy, the bronchus branched off to 10~ 14 week, at the 24th-25th week, primitive alveoli appeared, and at the 28th week, a large number of alveoli appeared. Therefore, premature infants at the 28th week have a chance to survive.
Generally speaking, babies born at 38 weeks of pregnancy have the ability to survive, and the development of various organs is relatively mature, so if the baby has health problems, the maternity hospital will inform parents, please rest assured! If the baby has any discomfort, it is good to see a doctor in time. I wish the baby a healthy growth!
Premature babies worry their parents because their bodies are not fully developed and there are health risks. So full-term delivery is not one of the indicators of baby health, so what is full-term? Under what circumstances is the baby born basically healthy?
First, what is full-term delivery: after 37 weeks of pregnancy, before 43 weeks of pregnancy, any period of delivery can be called full-term delivery. The baby was born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, and babies like this are basically premature.
In addition, whether a child is a full-term baby is not only concerned about the month, because some fetuses develop rapidly, so parents are advised to pay attention to whether the weight is between 5.5-8 kg, and babies without malformations can be counted as full-term babies.
Second, what are the characteristics of full-term babies: Everyone wants their babies to be full-term babies, because full-term babies are healthy, so what are the characteristics of full-term babies?
1, the newborn cries loudly.
2, ruddy skin
3. Normal excretory function
If you are worried about the health of the 38-week-old baby, you can refer to the above characteristics and ask the doctor if there are health risks. According to time, your baby is full-term.
As you can see from the above, your child is full-term. As for whether you are worried about the baby's health, I suggest again that you don't just judge from time, but also need to observe in many ways. Generally speaking, after a baby is born, the doctor will examine it. If the doctor pushes your mother and baby out together, it's basically nothing. If you are not at ease, you can consult a doctor. Don't worry about yourself blindly, so as not to affect breastfeeding.
I wonder if my answer can solve your problem. If you have any questions, please leave a message and your message will be answered.
My baby was born at 38 weeks and 3 days. When I was born, I was less than 6 kg, and now I am almost 9 months old. Has grown into a big fat girl of 19 kg! The baby born at 38 weeks is born healthy and full-term, so don't worry!
38 weeks is not premature, but it is full-term age. Maybe I came out to see you first for some reason, such as going to bed quickly. After giving birth, the hospital doctor should do an examination. I wonder what Ma Bao is struggling with. Is it the cause of premature birth? I will check my hearing and eyesight after the month, which is estimated to be normal. You can also check whether your weight is at least 2.5kg and your head circumference is at least 33 cm, and observe whether your breathing is intermittent and your swallowing ability. The doctor will evaluate whether you are a full-term baby and whether you are healthy.
Is the baby born at 38 weeks healthy?
Could it be something that doesn't grow well?
Hello!
First of all, I am the mother of two children, and I have had two natural births.
Eldest brother was born at 40 weeks +7, and she was fat for nothing, weighing 8 kg. When I came out, my skin was rosy, elastic, crying loudly, and my hands and feet were free and healthy. In fact, if the baby's birth weight is more than 2500 grams, it can be considered that he has passed the first stage of his life. If it is less than 2500 grams, corresponding measures should be taken.
The second child is a male treasure, born at 36 weeks +4. It was relatively small when it came out, only 2500 grams. His skin is a little dark, his back hair is thick, and there is a thick layer of grease on his head. I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that the fetus in this period is close to maturity and there is no problem.
So you see there is a big gap between my two children when they were born, but as long as they are healthy in all aspects and properly fed, the longer the baby, the better!
So I'm sure the 38-week-old baby should be healthy for no particular reason! Don't worry!
