What should I do if my fetus moves frequently during the fourth month?

The happiest thing for a woman who becomes a mother for the first time is to feel the baby's fetal movement. When the pregnancy month gets longer and longer and reaches four months, the baby has grown into a little person. The baby will frequently send "information" to the mother - fetal movement, and the mother can also use this to judge whether the baby is healthy. When fetal movements are too frequent, it does not mean that there is a problem with the baby's health. So, what should I do if the fetus moves frequently at four months?

First, what should I do if the fetus moves frequently at four months of pregnancy?/It is normal for the baby to move frequently at four months of pregnancy. The baby is more active at this time. 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. However, due to the large individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, that the fetus is receiving sufficient oxygen, that the fetus is growing and developing healthily in the uterus, and that the fetus is moving happily. The number of fetal movements is not constant. During the 28th to 38th week of pregnancy, the fetal movement is active, and then it weakens slightly until delivery. The pregnant woman's movement, posture, emotions, loud noises, strong light, and touching the abdomen can all cause changes in fetal movement.

Second, fetal movement is a symbol of the existence of life in the uterus. Counting fetal movements is a simple way for pregnant women to monitor the condition of the fetus. Pregnant women begin to feel fetal movement at 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, which is especially noticeable at night. Fetal movement is most frequent between 29 and 38 weeks of pregnancy, and decreases slightly as they approach full term, generally 3-5 times per hour. If the fetal movement is abnormal, you should be alert to fetal distress. In the early stages of hypoxia, the fetus becomes restless, which is manifested by a significant increase in fetal movement. When the hypoxia is severe, the fetal movement decreases, weakens, or even disappears. After the fetal movement disappears, the fetal heart rate generally disappears within 24 to 48 hours. Pregnant women should count their own fetal movements starting from the 28th week. The counting method is to count for one hour at fixed times in the morning, noon and evening every day. If it is more than three times per hour, it reflects that the fetus is in good condition. You can also multiply the sum of the number of fetal movements in the morning, afternoon, and evening by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. If the fetal movement reaches more than 30 times in 12 hours, it reflects that the fetus is in good condition. If it is less than 20 times, it means that the fetus is abnormal. If the fetal movement is less than 10 times, it indicates fetal intrauterine hypoxia.

What should I do if the fetus moves frequently at four months? When counting fetal movements, you should lie down or sit up and concentrate. You can use some small objects (such as coins or buttons, etc.) to mark or record them on paper to avoid missing them. If the fetal movement is continuous or multiple fetal movements are felt at the same time, it can only be counted as one. You have to wait until the fetal movement stops completely before continuing counting. If the fetus continues to move for a long time, you should also be alert. The strength and frequency of fetal movements vary greatly from person to person, with some experiencing more than 100 movements in 12 hours. After counting for a period of time, a pregnant woman will come up with a constant, which she can use as a standard to self-monitor the safety of the fetus.
