Dear doctor, I am 38 weeks pregnant, ultrasound shows that other indicators are within normal range, fetal weight is 2.8kg, biparietal diameter is 91mm, cvd is 312mm, however the baby's femur length (FL) is only 65mm.

Most children are born healthy, but about 2-3% of fetuses have birth defects, causing serious physical and mental consequences for the child. These birth defects can mostly be detected through ultrasound screening for fetal abnormalities during pregnancy. Let's learn about this ultrasound method through the following article.

Fetal ultrasound is a technique that has been widely used in the medical industry since 1950. This is considered a safe method, does not affect the fetus and brings high diagnostic efficiency, accurately monitoring the development of the baby in the womb.

The second week is also the time when the mother's body is actively preparing for ovulation. At this time, the baby has not yet formed, but there are certain changes and the mother should also keep a comfortable mood to enjoy the upcoming joy.

Amniocentesis to test for fetal abnormalities is a procedure usually performed at weeks 15-18 of pregnancy. Amniocentesis helps detect early fetal abnormalities due to genetic abnormalities related to chromosomal disorders.

Aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart disease that causes severe complications and increases the risk of death for children, so early diagnosis and treatment are very important. Fortunately, this is a disease that can be detected through prenatal screening.

Once the egg is fertilized by the sperm, a complex but predictable process takes place to form a baby. Let's take a look at how your baby develops at week 13.

At 23 weeks pregnant, your baby is almost developed enough to survive outside the womb. His lungs are getting ready to breathe by inhaling amniotic fluid. His brain is making the connections he needs to think — and one day communicate with you.

After the miraculous meeting between sperm and egg, a tiny zygote is formed. At this time, the fetus is three weeks old and the mother also shows more obvious signs of pregnancy. So how will a 3-week-old fetus develop and what should you do at this time?

At 33 weeks of pregnancy, the length of the fetus is almost stable, weight continues to increase, bones grow stronger, the brain shrinks, and vision and the immune system continue to mature.

At week 32 (month 8) of pregnancy, the fetus is in the process of comprehensive development. During this stage, the child has developed vision; formed new organs such as fingernails, toenails, hair; and increased body weight rapidly.
