When a pregnant woman feels fetal movement, she is definitely extremely happy and suddenly realizes that all the pain during pregnancy is worth it. After fetal movement occurs, pregnant women can also determine the safety status of the fetus by counting the number of fetal movements. But some pregnant women are not clear about the method of counting fetal movements, so how can pregnant women count fetal movements themselves?
The best time for a pregnant woman to have fetal movements is in the morning and after dinner. At this time, the pregnant woman's emotions are relatively relaxed, and the sugar content in the blood is sufficient, and the condition of the fetus is also optimal. Pregnant women should lie in a semi supine position on the bed, or place a pillow on the sofa and lean against it. After all the preparations are ready, the pregnant woman can prepare the clock to start counting fetal movements.
It is best to prepare a small notebook when counting fetal movements, and for each movement of the fetus, the pregnant woman will record it once. Just count for two hours and then calculate the total fetal movement. If there are more than six fetal movements within these two hours, it indicates that the fetus is in good condition.
But it's not necessarily better to have more fetal movements. If the number of fetal movements exceeds a dozen within two hours, it also indicates that there are safety issues with the fetus, which is likely caused by hypoxia. For safety reasons, it is best for pregnant women to go to the hospital for abdominal ultrasound or fetal heart rate monitoring to understand the safety of the fetus.
