      Pregnancy day 204, 30 weeks pregnant fetus What are the changes? This week, the fetus’ head-to-rump length is about 27 centimeters and its weight is about 1,400 grams. boy The testicles have now descended along the abdominal groin toward the scrotum; The girl's clitoris is already protruding, but is not yet covered by the labia minora. The fetal brain is developing very rapidly at this time, the head is still growing, and the body continues to gain weight.

      The fetus' consciousness is becoming more and more clear at this time, and it can feel the friction against itself during contractions and respond to painful stimulation. The simulated breathing movements of the fetus have already developed a rhythm at this time, and sometimes there may be hiccups.

      The fetus is still very active at 30 weeks, and the umbilical cord may be twisted into knots. If the umbilical cord is twisted or knotted too tightly, it will hinder the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, so we must pay close attention.

      The expectant mother's belly is larger, it is difficult to move, it is difficult to breathe, and she will feel uncomfortable in the abdomen. You should pay attention to your active posture at ordinary times, and it is best to take a nap at noon.
