Many women are very nervous about their unborn baby after pregnancy because they cannot see the baby's condition and do not know if the baby is healthy, especially when the baby is still relatively young. Many mothers only have some pregnancy reactions and cannot have more interaction with the baby. So how many hours of fetal movement is usually normal?
During pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to fetal movement in order to make a general assessment of the condition of the fetus inside the uterine cavity. There are many methods to monitor fetal movement during pregnancy, including counting fetal movement within a certain hour. Fetal movement should be around 2-5 times within an hour, but this number is not fixed because fetal movement is influenced by many factors.
Sometimes you may feel less fetal movement, which may be due to a smaller gestational age or the fetus sleeping in the uterus. Generally speaking, as long as there is no sustained decrease in fetal movement, it does not mean that there is hypoxia in the uterus. In addition, if the number of fetal movements exceeds 5 times per hour, this situation should also be taken seriously, paying attention to whether it is caused by excessive activity or stimulation to the fetus.
Generally speaking, more fetal movement is better than less fetal movement. As long as there is no sudden disappearance of fetal movement, it generally does not mean that the fetus is experiencing hypoxia in the uterine cavity. If any abnormalities are found, it is necessary to go to the hospital in a timely manner for a doctor to make a judgment.
