A fetus’s size generally reflects its health status. At five months of gestation, a fetus typically weighs between 250 g and 300 g; however, individual fetal weights may vary due to numerous factors. Excessive or uncontrolled eating by the pregnant woman during pregnancy may lead to fetal macrosomia. Therefore, pregnant women should maintain a nutritionally balanced diet and avoid overnutrition.
