Normal situation and precautions of fetal movement

Normal fetal movement is a special "family letter" for the fetus to report to its mother that it is safe, and it is also a sign that the fetus is in good condition. This article will introduce the normal situation and precautions of fetal movement to help pregnant mothers better understand the situation of the fetus.

Normal fetal movement

According to observation, 1 hour normal and obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3-5 times, and 12 hour fetal movements should be 30-40 times, most of which are above 100 times, which are all manifestations of good fetal condition.

Changes of fetal movement during pregnancy

Generally speaking, when pregnant for 4-5 months, most pregnant women will have fetal movement, which will gradually increase in the future; 28-38 weeks of pregnancy is the most active period of fetal movement.

Causes of severe fetal movement in the third trimester of pregnancy

Severe fetal movement in the third trimester may be due to the fact that the baby is full-term and the uterus is slightly compressed when sitting.

Matters needing attention

It is recommended not to keep the same posture for a long time, exercise as much as possible, pay attention to fetal movement, and go to the hospital as soon as possible if the baby is restless or the fetal movement suddenly increases or decreases. At the same time, severe fetal movement in the third trimester may be the rhythm of labor. Pregnant mothers are advised to pay close attention to the changes of amniotic fluid and labor pains. But the fetal movement of each fetus is different, some are active and some are quiet. As long as the fetal movement does not decrease or stop sharply, any changes and differences are normal.
