At 29 weeks of gestation, the fetus enters the late stages of pregnancy, and by the end of pregnancy, the following changes are evident.

Weight gain by leaps and bounds

At 28 weeks, the fetus weighs only about two pounds.

In just 12 weeks of late pregnancy, the fetus will gain more than four pounds. The average weight gain is nearly four taels per week.

That is, the late third trimester bears 75% of the fetus' weight gain.

Start of iron intake from the mother's body

Breast milk is low in iron, so from birth to six months, the child's iron needs are taken from the mother's body during the late pregnancy.

Bones also become stronger

The baby's bones also start to get stronger in late pregnancy, so it needs a lot of calcium.

Pregnant Mothers

The fetus is getting bigger and the body position is getting fixed.

5 things during the late pregnancy, the pregnant mother must not be lazy, otherwise, it will harm the child, and the father-to-be should keep an eye on the pregnant mother

The first thing: is the number of fetal movement

The first time I went to do a maternity checkup, a pregnant woman sat there crying in the stairwell, listening to the woman next to me: her child doctor said no, suggesting that she be induced as soon as possible.

The next woman's whispered discussion, so Anna's mother probably understand the cause and effect.

It is said that this pregnant woman does not work, and usually likes to touch two hands of mahjong, when pregnant also often touches mahjong, the pressure did not put the doctor's advice to count fetal movement in mind, never counted fetal movement.

The first few days I found that the fetus seems to move more frequently, and the pregnant mother did not pay too much attention to it, I thought the child is ready to be born and should move more powerful, but I did not expect it to move more powerful after the fetus does not move, for two consecutive days did not feel the fetal movement, the pregnant woman only feel wrong, to the hospital examination when the doctor is weak.

It is very necessary to count the fetal movements in late pregnancy, some hospitals are recommended to start counting after 28 weeks, and some hospitals are recommended to start at 30 weeks or 32 weeks.

You can observe your child's relatively frequent fetal movements for two hours, as long as the two hours of fetal movements do not add up to less than six times there is no problem, less than six times that may be too little fetal movement, we recommend going to the hospital to check.

Generally speaking, the fetal movement of the child within 5 minutes is considered a fetal movement, the child may sometimes burp, stop for a minute or two, then kick out a foot, and push out a hand, this is considered a continuous action, considered a fetal movement.

The second thing: weighing

It is recommended that pregnant mothers prepare a scale at home, the fetal weight growth rate is very fast during the late pregnancy, the mother did not control their weight, it is easy to let the fetal weight out of control, giving birth to more than eight pounds of huge children, when it is easy to a difficult birth, the health of the fetus also threatened.

The mother's weight gain is controlled to be half a pound to seven taels per week, not more than one pound.

It is best not to gain more than one tael of weight per day.

The best time to weigh yourself is when you get up in the morning after going to the bathroom, without eating anything and wearing only bottomless clothes.

This is a relatively standard weight.

If you gain weight too quickly, you should observe whether you are eating too much. It may be necessary to slightly reduce the high-fat and high-sugar food.

The third thing: going to the toilet

During late pregnancy, mothers will feel the urge to urinate all the time, so be careful to go to the toilet whenever you feel the urge, don't hold back! Because at this time, if you hold back, it may cause urinary incontinence. It will be embarrassing then. It is advisable to get into the habit of getting up every morning to go to the toilet and have a bowel movement.

Hormonal changes in late pregnancy can cause the intestinal peristalsis of pregnant mothers to slow down, and with the fetus slowly getting bigger and pressing on the rectum of pregnant mothers, many pregnant mothers suffer from constipation.

To solve constipation, in addition to dietary attention, we must also develop the habit of regular bowel movements. It is recommended that once a mother has the urge to go to the toilet, she can also go to the toilet every morning after drinking water to cultivate the urge.

Fourth thing: insist on exercise

The exercise not only can prevent weight gain fast enough but also can increase the strength of the mother's abdomen to prevent stretch marks from growing too fast.

It can also control the weight of the fetus and prevent it from getting too big.

It will also help the mother to sustain her strength for a longer period during the delivery.

It is especially recommended to learn pregnancy yoga in the middle of pregnancy. There are some hospital classes for pregnant mothers that offer yoga classes or go to a special yoga teacher to learn.

Learning yoga makes the mother's body more flexible and also exercises the elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles to prevent urine leakage.

The fifth thing: drink milk or take calcium supplements

Many mothers do not have the habit of drinking milk before they get pregnant, but after pregnancy, especially in late pregnancy, they must pay attention to drinking milk or taking calcium supplements.

By the end of pregnancy, the fetus is bigger, which tends to compress our blood circulation, and if there is not enough calcium, it is more likely to have cramps and affect the mother's sleep.

So be sure to take 1000 mg of calcium daily to meet the needs of growth and development.

100 ml of milk usually contains 100 mg of calcium, and there is some pure milk with high calcium, and 120 ml of calcium.

Drinking 500 ml of milk every day, you can make up 500-600 mg of calcium to meet half of your daily calcium needs.

Milk is not only rich in calcium and has a high absorption rate, but it will alsocontainsn high-quality protein, which is also very helpful for the growth and development of the child.

The mother in late pregnancy must pay attention to the five things and must not be lazy, this time the father-to-be should take up the important task of supervision, supervision of the mother to do these five things, for the health of the fetus and the mother's health are very helpful
