Every day the belly of a pregnant woman grows, and accordingly, the fetus that will soon be born grows. Every day does not pass in vain - grow handles, legs, organs develop, nails, teeth and hair appear. Adopted "growing up" of the baby is considered weeks. So, mummies, week after week, live in anticipation, controlling the development with the help of ultrasound and all sorts of analyzes.
Embryo at 19 weeks old
Let's find out together what an embryo can do for 19 weeks, what shape it has, what size and weight of the fetus is at 19 weeks. As a rule, in the second trimester, on the 14-26th week it is recommended to undergo ultrasound of the fetus . On ultrasound at 19 weeks of pregnancy, it is evident that the location of the fetus is not fixed, since it often changes its position, and this is fairly well felt by a woman.
19 weeks of pregnancy - fetal size
The size of the child at week 19 continues to increase. We give the average values of fetometry (size) of the fetus 19 weeks with ultrasound in the norm:
- biparietal size (BPR 19 weeks) is 41-49 mm;
- frontal-occipital size (LZ) is 53-63 mm;
- the circumference of the fetal head (OG) is 142-174 mm;
- the circumference of the fetal abdomen (OJ) is 114 -154 mm.
At 19 weeks of gestation, the weight of the fetus on average is 250 g, the coccygeal parietal size is about 15 cm.
What is the fruit in 19 weeks?
At this age, the fetus has already formed the time of sleep and wakefulness, and they coincide with the regime of the newborn - 18 hours of sleep replace 6 hours of wakefulness. His jaws are formed, there are rudiments of dairy and permanent teeth. On ultrasound, you can see how the child pops out his tongue and opens his mouth. By this time the child already confidently lifts the head and can turn it around. The fingers on the hands actively grab the legs, the umbilical cord - so the child learns his habitat.
The size of the abdomen at 19 weeks of pregnancy
At 19-20 weeks the bottom of the uterus is located on two transverse fingers below the navel. It continues to grow and rise higher, the weight of the uterus at 19 weeks is about 320 g. It can be palpated at a level of 1.3 cm below the navel. At this time, the tummy has already grown significantly; it can be seen with the naked eye, even if pregnant in clothes. The size of the abdomen at the 19th week is very actively increasing, almost 5 cm per week.
