After pregnancy, women can feel fetal movement at 16-20 weeks, which is a magical feeling, sometimes like a small fish moving. In the late stage of pregnancy, it is obvious that the baby is punching and kicking. The doctor will inform the expectant mother to count the fetal movements on time. Can she sit and count the fetal movements?
Because the fetus is in the mother's womb, we cannot observe whether the baby is healthy with the naked eye. Therefore, we can only determine whether the baby has hypoxia by counting fetal movements. If the fetal movements are abnormal, we need to go to the hospital for examination. Expectant mothers can choose a comfortable way to count fetal movements, such as lying on their side or sitting, but this varies from person to person. Expectant mothers need to master the fetal activity patterns to count fetal movements.
Compared to night, fetuses are more active during the day, so doctors recommend expectant mothers to count fetal movements in the morning and evening. Most expectant mothers will have fetal movements while lying on their side, during which the fetus will not be compressed and the movements will be more noticeable. It is also possible to sit when the gestational age is young, but as the gestational age increases, expectant mothers need to walk frequently and cannot sit in one position for a long time, otherwise it will compress the fetus.
As the gestational age increases, expectant mothers need to be more vigilant. If the fetus is too active or has little fetal movement, it is necessary to check whether the fetus is experiencing hypoxia. If there is hypoxia, under the advice of a doctor, a small amount of oxygen should be given daily to avoid damaging the fetus.
