The development of the baby at 22 weeks gestation, which is 5 months pregnant, for some women is marked by the sensation of feeling the baby move more frequently.
Now the baby's hearing is already well developed and the baby can hear any sound around it, and listening to the voice of the mother and father can make it calmer.
Fetal Development
The development of the fetus at 22 weeks gestation shows that the arms and legs have already developed enough for the baby to move them very easily. The baby can play with his hands, suck his fingers, cross and uncross the legs.
The baby's inner ear is already practically developed, so he can hear more clearly, and begins to have some sense of balance, since this function is also controlled by the inner ear.
The nose and mouth of the baby are well developed and can be seen on ultrasound. The baby may be upside down, but this does not make much difference to him.
The bones get stronger and stronger, as do the muscles and cartilage, but the baby still has a long way to go.
Size of the fetus at 22 weeks' gestation
The size of the fetus at 22 weeks' gestation is approximately 26.7 cm and the baby's weight is about 360 g.
Changes in woman
Changes in the woman at 22 weeks of gestation can lead to hemorrhoids, which are dilated veins in the anus that cause a lot of pain when evacuating and in some cases even to sit. What can be done to alleviate this discomfort is to invest in the consumption of fiber-rich foods and drink plenty of water so that the stools soften and leave more easily.
Urinary infections are more common in pregnancy and cause pain or burning when you urinate. If you experience these symptoms, tell the doctor you are accompanying during pregnancy so that they can indicate some medicine.
