summary

According to the standard of fetal development at 36 weeks of gestation, expectant mothers need to do a detailed ultrasound examination, including biparietal diameter, placental function classification, amniotic fluid volume, etc. Mother to assess the weight and development of the fetus at that time, and estimate the date of birth. Now let me talk about the standard of fetal development at 36 weeks of gestation

Fetal development criteria at 36 weeks of gestation

First, the fetus is about 45cm in length and 2700g in weight. The average biparietal diameter was 8.81 ± 0.57cm, the average abdominal circumference was 29.44 ± 2.83cm, and the average femoral length was 6.95 ± 0.47cm.

Secondly, the 36 week old baby is still growing, his two kidneys are fully developed, and his liver has been able to deal with some metabolic wastes. From the end of this week, he can be called a full-term child (37-42 weeks). So from now on, you should pay attention to rest and keep personal hygiene, and be ready to meet your baby at any time.

Finally, because the baby's body gradually increased, it is no longer floating in the amniotic fluid, and it is unlikely to fight and kick again. So you will think that his activity has become smaller, which is also the last resort. But you can still feel more than 10 fetal movements a day.
