Content: Size of Fetus at 20 Weeks
By 20 weeks of pregnancy, your fetus has undergone a number of changes, including significant growth in length and weight. His length is equivalent to a small banana or about the length of the palm of your hand to the tip of your middle finger. By ultrasound measurements: Your fetus is about 10 inches long from the crown of the head to heel and around 6.5 inches from crown to rump. The baby's weight at 20 weeks is about 10.5 ounces. The head circumference at 20 weeks is between 15 to 20 centimeters in size. The humerus -- the long bone in the upper arm -- can range from 2.5 to 3.5 centimeters in length. The femur -- the long bone in the upper leg -- measures around 2.8 to 3.8 centimeters in length. These estimates are based on standardized charts, such as the World Health Organization's fetal growth charts. The measurements of your fetus may be slightly smaller or larger.
