Does frequent fetal movement mean lack of oxygen?

Women who are pregnant will observe their physical condition. For expectant mothers, there are still many things they need to master, such as how to detect fetal movement by themselves. As long as they master it, they can find abnormal fetal movement in time, so that they can take measures to deal with it in time, which is very beneficial to the development of the fetus. Too frequent fetal movement is a bad signal for the baby, so is frequent fetal movement due to lack of oxygen?

First, does frequent fetal movement mean hypoxia? If the fetal movement is too frequent, it is not a normal phenomenon. Hypoxia is considered. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time. If the fetus moves violently and the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, it may be caused by hypoxia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for oxygen therapy, which will help the baby's frequent fetal movements. 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. 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.

Second, fetal movement can usually be felt between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, reaching a peak between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, and then gradually decreasing after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Pregnant women should measure fetal movement from the 28th week of gestation. Once a day in the morning, noon and evening, each time for 1 hour. Pregnant women can sit or lie on their side and place their hands lightly on the abdominal wall to feel the fetal movement. Normal fetal movement is 3 to 5 times per hour. You can also multiply the number of fetal movements measured 3 times by 4, which is equal to the number of fetal movements in 12 hours, which should be more than 30 times.

Does frequent fetal movement mean lack of oxygen? If so, how can pregnant women self-test fetal movement? Find free time every day to measure the number of fetal movements: Starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, the pregnant mother should find free time every day (preferably after dinner, because the fetal movements are more frequent at this time), lie on her left side, and record the time required for 10 fetal movements; if it is less than 120 minutes, it means that there is no abnormality in the number of fetal movements, but if no fetal movement is felt, or the time required for 10 fetal movements is more than 2 hours, you should see a doctor as soon as possible for further examination. Calculate the number of fetal movements within a fixed time period: The expectant mother should measure the fetal movements for one hour each in the morning, noon, and evening. If the average number of fetal movements is less than 3 times per hour, it may be abnormal.
