Why is the 36th week of pregnancy an important period for the baby to gain weight?

By the ninth month of pregnancy, the baby is 34 cm long from top to bottom, 45 ~ 50 cm long and weighs 2? 75 kilograms.

The baby is close to its length at birth. The space in the uterus is narrower, and his movements are more and more difficult, but his kicking movements are more powerful. The baby is gaining weight most of the time. In this week, he will gain about 200 grams of weight.

With the help of ultrasonic scanner, through a series of facial expressions, it can be seen that the fetus has been awake for longer and longer, his kidney has developed, and his liver has begun to deal with the waste in the blood. The nails have completely covered the fingertips. The baby's face is round and full. If he was born with a birthmark, then this sign has been fully formed now.

If the pregnant woman's abdomen is irradiated with strong light, the fetus will turn her face to one side or close her eyelids to avoid being stimulated by light. In the mother's abdomen, the optic nerve and retina of the fetus are not yet mature. Strong light is really too dazzling for the fetus and will become a very uncomfortable stimulus.

Weak light will make the fetus blink and turn its head to the position of the light source with interest. Less dazzling indoor light changes periodically with the change of day and night, which can give the fetal brain a moderate sense of light and dark circulation and stimulate the development of the brain.

Physiological changes of pregnant mothers This week, the weight gain of pregnant women also reached the peak, weight gain 10? 5~ 13? 0 Jin. The fundus of uterus reaches the position above navel 14 cm, the height of uterus is 36 cm, and the amniotic fluid volume is about 1000 ml. Pregnant women will feel that the uterus has risen to the position of ribs, which is a big deal. Breast milk is sometimes excreted, called colostrum. It should be gently wiped with a soft cloth or cotton to keep it clean. Some pregnant women will feel sick and chest tightness at this time.

At this time, it is close to the end of the whole pregnancy and faces the final "sprint". While doing a good job in prenatal education, pregnant women should actively make prenatal preparations. Pay special attention to the influence of mental stress factors on pregnancy, especially those high-risk pregnant women, who are often worried about whether the fetus is healthy or not and whether it can be delivered smoothly. If you are highly nervous, it will easily lead to psychological imbalance, and even make the whole process of prenatal examination, prenatal care and prenatal education fall short. Therefore, pregnant women are required to maintain an optimistic mental state and look forward to welcoming the arrival of the baby wholeheartedly.

Special note: enjoy the sunshine. When the fetus is 9 months old, the baby can enjoy some sunshine through the abdominal wall because he has visual ability and responds to light.

On sunny days, it is best to go for a walk in the park. When walking, you can put your hand on your stomach and gently say to your baby, "Baby, does pregnant mother know how good the sunshine is now?" The right amount of light and the gentle voice of the mother are a benign stimulus to the upcoming fetus.

In addition, in addition to making full use of the sunshine for prenatal education, mother must be prepared for delivery this month. At the same time, we should prevent constipation.
