If the fetus is too small in the third trimester, it may not necessarily be a nutritional problem, but may also be a problem with the fetus. Therefore, it is best to consult a doctor and ask the prenatal doctor to help check and find out what is causing the fetal deviation. Small, and then correct the cause. First, let’s talk about the possible reasons for the small fetus during pregnancy

1. The gestational age is calculated incorrectly.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, it is found that the fetus is too small. It is recommended to recheck the gestational age to rule out that the baby is too small due to the small gestational age. You can recall whether the last menstrual period was accurately remembered, whether the menstrual cycle is regular, etc.; if the expectant mother has not paid close attention to her prenatal B-ultrasound during pregnancy, she should also take a good look at the B-ultrasound in the first trimester, because the development of the fetus in the first trimester will not be Affected by external factors and individual differences, it is more accurate when estimating gestational age. Based on the size of the fetus on B-ultrasound in the first trimester, compare it to determine whether the size of the fetus on each subsequent B-ultrasound is normal.

2. Restricted fetal development.

If the gestational age is correct, but the fetus is too small, it may be caused by fetal development restriction.

The main causes of "fetal growth restriction" are:

Fetal malformations, placental factors, genetic factors, nutritional factors, pregnancy complications or complications of expectant mothers, The mother has bad behaviors such as smoking, drinking, etc., which may cause the fetus to grow slowly and cause the gestation period to be small.

PS: Therefore, it is not necessarily a nutritional problem, so you need to consult a doctor, and ask the doctor to conduct an investigation based on the performance and prenatal examination results. If it is determined that the small fetus is caused by nutrition, then you can use diet Correct with nutritional supplements. The fetus is too small due to malnutrition. What can we eat to make the fetus grow up quickly?

If after investigation, it is determined that malnutrition is the cause of the small fetus, then you should pay attention to strengthening nutrition. Malnutrition often occurs in expectant mothers who are picky eaters and partial eclipses. Then you should pay attention to correcting your eating habits. , try to eat a variety of foods, with balanced nutrition and reasonable combination.

1. A variety of types can ensure a balanced nutritional intake. It is best to eat these types of food every day or often: various meats, fish, eggs, milk, Beans, vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc.

Especially protein foods, such as meat, fish and shrimp, milk, soy products, etc., should be eaten in moderation.

2. Eat more foods suitable for "long-term fetus", such as carbohydrate foods (that is, staple foods, especially sweet foods). For expectant mothers with large fetuses, doctors generally ask them to control the amount of staple foods. The intake of sweets and sweeter fruits is because the fetus will grow too fast if you eat these foods.

Accordingly, if the fetus is too small, you can adjust your diet and eat more staple foods, sweets, etc. Misunderstanding: Eating only a certain kind of food to increase pregnancy is unscientific

There are many food recommendations on the Internet about what foods to eat to increase pregnancy. Many expectant mothers will think that eating certain foods will increase pregnancy. , so that the fetus is no longer too small, it may eat a large amount of this food for a certain period of time. In fact, such food is also unscientific.

No matter what, ensuring a balanced nutritional intake every day is the basis for the healthy and normal development of the fetus.

So even if you eat certain foods that are helpful for fetal growth, you should eat them in moderation, and eat them in moderation on the basis of a normal and balanced diet every day.

Do not only eat this kind of food, which will affect the supply of other nutrients to the fetus. This will cause the fetus to be smaller due to malnutrition.

The above is the answer to this question. I hope it can help you and expectant mothers who have similar worries. After all, you have a special status during pregnancy. Jingma recommends that you consult a doctor in time if you have any questions. Correct and alleviate the problem under the guidance of a doctor. Do not act blindly on your own to avoid affecting the health of the fetus.
