What should I do if the fetus moves frequently during more than 4 months of pregnancy?

Most mothers will feel the "information" their babies bring to them during pregnancy - fetal movement. This is the bond for the baby and the mother to establish an emotional relationship, the only way for the baby and the mother to communicate, and a way for the mother to observe the baby's vital status. Because of this, when the baby's fetal movements are too frequent, the mother's heart is also hanging high. What should I do if the fetus moves frequently during pregnancy for more than 4 months?

First, what should I do if the fetus moves frequently during more than 4 months of pregnancy? It is normal for the baby to move frequently during the fourth month 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. Normal fetal movement is a special "letter" from the fetus to the mother to report its safety, and it is also a sign that the fetus is in good condition.

Second, abnormal fetal movement indicates that the fetus is currently encountering difficulties or dangers. So, you have to learn to observe fetal movements. During the day, there are two peaks of fetal movement, one is between 7 and 9 in the morning, and the other is between 11 pm and 1 am the next day. At other times, especially in the early morning, fetal movements are relatively rare. The general rule is no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and the fetal movement is about 30 to 40 times every 12 hours. How to count fetal movements Fetal movements are a symbol of the presence 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.

What should I do if the fetus moves frequently during more than 4 months of pregnancy? 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. Counting method: Count for 1 hour at fixed time in the morning, noon and evening every day. If it is more than 3 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 that the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
