What is going on when the fetus moves downward?

The number of fetal movements transmitted by the baby to the mother and the baby's position in the mother's belly are things that expectant parents are concerned about, because they are related to the baby's growth and development. If the baby has regular fetal movements in the mother's belly and does not change much, it means that the baby is growing and developing healthily. If the baby's fetal position is abnormal, it means that there is a problem with the baby's development. So, what is going on when the fetus moves downward?

First, what is the matter with the fetal movement downward? Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity that impacts the uterine wall, and the movement of the fetus can be clearly felt. The fetus stretches its hands, kicks its legs, and hits the uterine wall in the uterus. This is fetal movement. The number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours.

Second, as long as the fetal movement is normal, the simple downward position of the fetal movement will not cause adverse effects, so you can rest assured. Because the baby is floating in the amniotic fluid at this time, its position is changing, and the location of natural fetal movement will also continue to change. The reason for the downward fetal movement may be an abnormal fetal position, with the fetus's calves at the bottom, causing the fetal movement to move downward. Generally, fetal movement will occur around 20 weeks. Fetal movement indicates the condition of the fetus in the mother's body. Too frequent or too infrequent movement is not good. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to the number of fetal movements. As long as the placenta is not too low, it will be fine even if it is at the mouth of the uterus. As long as the baby's head turns down, it will be fine.

What is going on when the fetal movement is downward? As the baby grows in the belly, its position will change at any time, and it will not settle down until around 34 weeks. As the months go by, the baby will move down, so don't worry. There are some old sayings that generally the ones moving down to the bottom are worth thousands of gold. From the above content, we can know that a low fetal position is not an abnormal phenomenon. In fact, the fetal position will change with the increase of pregnancy months and the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women do not need to worry too much. They just need to relax, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and count the fetal movements to see if they are normal.
