For expectant mothers during pregnancy, the health of the fetus is the most important thing in their lives. Some expectant mothers will judge whether the fetus is healthy and full of vitality by talking about the fetal movement. So how many fetal movements are normal around 33 weeks of pregnancy? Let's learn more about it together with the editor.
How many fetal movements are normal at 33 weeks
It is normal to have three to ten movements per hour, and then count it as one continuous fetal movement within three minutes. After 33 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movements become strong and powerful, and have a certain regularity.
In the morning, noon, and evening, while lying on the left side, measure fetal movement for one hour each. Then add up the three measured fetal movements and multiply by 4 to obtain the 12 hour fetal movement.
The method of correctly counting fetal movements
The method of counting fetal movements for a fixed period of 3 hours per day involves counting fetal movements at fixed times in the morning, middle, and evening, each time for 1 hour. After adding up the 3 fetal movements, multiply by 4 to obtain the 12 hour fetal movement count. The detection is relatively accurate, but it is too complex and difficult to complete.
Four fixed time measurements, each lasting 15 minutes, will be conducted at 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm. The sum of the four fetal movements will be the 1-hour fetal movement count, multiplied by the 12 hour fetal movement count. The detection is relatively easy, but the accuracy is low.
How many fetal movements is normal around 33 weeks of pregnancy? Each pregnant woman's body is different, the development of the fetus is different, and the number of fetal movements will also be different. Generally speaking, it is normal for the fetus to move three to ten times per hour. In addition, this article also introduces the correct method of counting fetal movements.
