When expectant mothers reach the late stage of pregnancy, they will start counting fetal movements, which can reflect the health status of the fetus. The fetal movement of a singleton is easy to count, but how should we count the fetal movement of twins? And which fetal movement is counted as? This should be a question that confuses many expectant mothers of twins. Below, the editor will share the method of counting the movements of twins.
The best method for twin expectant mothers to detect fetal movement is to use a fetal heart rate monitor. Because for twins, it is difficult for expectant mothers to determine which fetus is causing fetal movements, making it difficult to know the health status of the fetus through fetal movements. And the fetal heart rate monitor can detect whether the fetal heart rate of two fetuses is normal through the frequency of fetal heart vibration. So, after knowing the fetal movement, expectant mothers only need to do the following two things.
1、 Regular observation
Expectant mothers need to schedule a time, preferably three times in the morning, afternoon, and evening, to monitor fetal movements during these three times every day. If the fetal movement remains stable within a certain range, it indicates that the fetus is healthy. If there are any abnormal movements, seek medical attention promptly.
2、 Scheduled prenatal check ups
If expectant mothers do not have time to check the fetal movement every day, they need to have regular prenatal check ups and have hospital professionals evaluate the health status of the fetus. The results detected in this way are also more scientifically reliable and can make expectant mothers feel more at ease.
