17th Week of Pregnancy

What is the baby's height and weight in the 17th week of pregnancy ?

The question is asked by almost everyone, whether they have children or not. Especially couples who are thinking of having children research this question closely because they want to know how much below or above this average height and weight their baby is. The baby grows rapidly during this period. The baby's weight is in this range of 140-160 grams and its length is in the range of 20 cm.

The baby becomes more visible in the mother's womb during this period. Of course, this also affects the mother. The mother also starts to show signs of weight gain. She feels the child better and more clearly. Since the baby's height and weight start to increase, the mother starts to feel a little more uncomfortable when moving. Children should be talked to during these weeks. Stories should be told to the baby and how important it is. The baby feels all of these and becomes happy. Of course, when this stage is reached, fathers, that is, men, also have important duties. They need to take more care of their mothers, that is, their wives. Women become more sensitive and emotional during this stage. Women should be treated more carefully and thoughtfully. Women should avoid heavy work during this stage. They should be very careful about the food and drinks they eat. They should definitely stay away from cigarettes and alcohol. Because our child is now starting to develop fully during this stage. Therefore, we need to be very careful with ourselves. After all, the baby is fed with what we eat and breathes the air we breathe. It is very important for the baby to start developing during this period. If the height and weight are not at the desired level, that is, if they are missing or excessive, the baby will not come into the world healthy. This also depends on the nutrients it receives from the mother. If it does not receive enough nutrients, the baby cannot develop and becomes skinny. Otherwise, obesity or disease symptoms may be seen in the child in the future. In order to prevent these from happening to us, we need to be very careful both for ourselves and our baby during the pregnancy process. Otherwise, the events we have described are quite possible. At this stage, the child begins to take shape, meaning that we protect him/her from all harmful factors. We should constantly have the necessary tests done for the baby and always pay attention to the height-weight ratio. Because these are the times when babies need development the most.
