What does a six month old fetus look like?

After six months of pregnancy, the fetus is growing and developing very well. The mother can already feel the presence of the fetus. The mother no longer has some symptoms of early pregnancy, and her appetite and mood will gradually improve. From the perspective of the facial features, the child's eyebrows and eyelids can be clearly seen. The child can already swim in the amniotic fluid and kick the uterus with his feet.

What does a six month old fetus look like?

In the sixth month of pregnancy, which is from the 21st to the 24th week of pregnancy, the weight of the fetus begins to increase significantly and it already looks like a baby, but its skin is still wrinkled and red, and it looks like a little old man.

During the sixth month of pregnancy, the fetus is growing rapidly at a rate of about 250 grams per week. At this time, the fetus is about 25 to 28 cm long and weighs 350 to 800 grams.

From the five senses

At 21 weeks, your baby's eyebrows and eyelids are clearly visible. At 22 weeks, the skin was still wrinkled and red, and he looked like a little old man. Teeth also begin to develop at this time, mainly the tooth germs of permanent teeth.

From the limbs

The fetus swims in the amniotic fluid in the uterus and kicks the uterus with its feet, causing the amniotic fluid to vibrate. The nails on the fingers and toes also begin to grow.

From the organ point of view

At 21 weeks, he (she) can already hear sounds. Blood vessels are forming in the lungs and the respiratory system is being established rapidly. The baby will continue to swallow at this time, but (she) cannot defecate yet.

The fetus now has a certain degree of hearing and can hear the sound of your voice and some external sounds. You can choose some interesting children's classics and read them aloud to him in a vivid way. It is best to tell the same one or several stories repeatedly. You can also let him listen to some beautiful and lyrical music.

We can also see from the ultrasound picture of a male fetus at 6 months of pregnancy that by the 23rd week of pregnancy, the fetus already looks like a miniature baby. He is about 20 cm long and weighs about 450 grams. Because subcutaneous fat has not yet been produced, the fetus's skin is red and wrinkled at this time, and looks like a little old man. The wrinkles of the skin provide space for the growth of subcutaneous fat.

At 24 weeks, the fetus weighs about 500 grams. His hearing has been formed. He can hear the somewhat distorted sound of your voice, the sound of your heartbeat, and the gurgling sound of your intestines. The fetus can also hear some loud noises. Many studies have found that fetuses prefer beautiful and lyrical classical music.
