Decreased fetal movement in the third trimester: understanding the reasons behind it
Fetal growth leads to decreased fetal movement.
When the baby is young, there is enough room in the uterus, so the fetal movement is more frequent. However, with the growth of the fetus, the space in the uterus gradually becomes crowded, and the baby's activities are restricted, resulting in a decrease in fetal movement.
Changes of fetal movement law.
In the third trimester, the time of fetal movement becomes irregular, which may be different from before. But this doesn't mean that babies have problems, but that they are adapting to the new growth environment.
Fetal movement position changes.
When the fetus enters the basin, their limbs are located around the navel, causing fetal movement to seem to be concentrated around the navel.
Consult a doctor in time
Decreased fetal movement in the third trimester is normal, but if you have any questions or discomfort, please consult your doctor in time.
