How is the fetal development at 35 weeks of pregnancy

At 35 weeks of gestation, the fetus is about 50cm long, weighs about 2500g, is about 33cm long from head to hip, has a mean biparietal diameter of 8.7±0.55cm, an abdominal circumference of 27.99±2.55cm, and a mean femoral diameter of 6.62±0.43cm. The fetus’ digestive system is basically developed at 35 weeks of gestation, the lungs are about to mature, the liver is able to metabolize some waste products, and the kidneys are fully developed. The kidneys are fully developed, and the nails have grown longer than the fingertips. The fetus has completed most of its physical development, its body becomes round and looks plump, and subcutaneous fat is gradually formed, which helps regulate body temperature after birth. At 35 weeks of gestation the fetal body grows, the space for movement becomes smaller and movement is restricted. The small knees, legs and arms of the fetus can be distinguished by ultrasound and the fetal head is turned downwards in preparation for delivery. Although the fetus’ central nervous system is not yet fully developed, his lungs are now almost complete, and if he is born at this time, he will basically survive. Pregnant women are advised to take appropriate walks, pay attention to dietary hygiene, eat small and frequent meals, and have regular pregnancy checkups to ensure healthy fetal growth.
