After 28 weeks, the fetus is not absolutely safe, and regular checkups are still necessary to monitor the condition of the fetus in the uterus.
After 28 weeks, the fetus has basically formed, but is still in the developmental stage. At this point, the pregnant woman is in the late stage of pregnancy and still should not be taken lightly. After 28 weeks of pregnancy, with the increase in the number of weeks of pregnancy, the maternity checkups change from once every two weeks to once a week. The frequency of maternity checkups shows that late pregnancy needs more attention and there are many problems that may arise.
Complications of pregnancy such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus and other complications of pregnancy may occur in late pregnancy, and preterm labor may also occur. The reduced mobility of the fetus in late pregnancy may compress the umbilical cord, leading to intrauterine oxygen deprivation and so on. Therefore, the fetus should still be vigilant after 28 weeks, and pay attention to observe the condition of the fetus.
