What are the "extraordinary things" of the baby born at 40 weeks of pregnancy?

It is said that the gestation and birth of a new life takes ten months, that is, 40 weeks. However, there will inevitably be some unexpected situations during pregnancy, such as premature delivery of the baby. Some babies 10 months don't stay in their mother's stomach, because in the 37th week of pregnancy, the baby is full-term. When the fetus is full-term, it may be born at any time. Although it doesn't really matter whether the fetus is born after term, the baby born in 10, 40 weeks pregnant, has an advantage over the premature baby. Let's have a look.

Has stronger immunity.

When the fetus is in the mother's belly, it has already begun to establish immunity, but this time starts from about 38 weeks of pregnancy. The baby starts to build his own immune system from 38 weeks, and by 40 weeks, the baby has already had his own immunity. If the baby is born early, the baby's immunity has not been fully established at this time, and the baby's immunity will be lower after birth, and it is more likely to get sick. Therefore, babies who stay in their mothers' stomachs for 10 months have stronger immunity after birth.

The brain is more developed.

The 37th week to 40th week of pregnancy is the best period for fetal brain development, which develops very fast. Although, before 37 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has experienced two golden periods of brain development, namely, the first trimester and the second trimester. But in this last time, the fetal brain will develop into a more complete state. Premature babies have not experienced this stage, so the brain development is not as perfect as that of full-term fetuses.

The lungs develop better.

Although after 37 weeks of pregnancy, the lungs of the fetus have basically developed completely, at this time, the little guy has been able to adapt to the external living environment. But before the baby is born, he will keep swallowing the amniotic fluid in his mother's stomach to practice lung breathing and make the lungs develop better. Those babies born prematurely often have less lung development than those born at 40 weeks.

The body becomes stronger.

The 37-week-old fetus is full-term, but at the stage of 37 -40 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal weight gain rate is the fastest. At this time, the baby constantly absorbs nutrition from his mother to make his body stronger, and at the same time, the baby is constantly storing calories so that he can quickly adapt to the external environment after birth.

After reading these, have you found that the baby born at 40 weeks of pregnancy is born with something extraordinary? So pregnant mothers should not rush to drive their babies out. Nowadays, many prospective parents may kick their children out of their mothers' stomachs early so that they can be born on an auspicious day. In fact, as long as the baby can be born healthily and smoothly, it is already a "auspicious day" for parents, so parents-to-be should not be impatient.
