Since the beginning of pregnancy, the pregnant mother's body has suffered greatly. At the beginning, she may experience nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, and later she may also experience various physical discomforts. But don't be discouraged, fetal movement can occur from 16-20 weeks of pregnancy. Fetal movement can be seen as the baby interacting with the mother and reacting to the outside world. This is a wonderful process. So, at what week do we start counting fetal movements?
As we mentioned above, fetal movement occurs between 16-20 weeks, so it's time to start counting fetal movements. Fetal movement typically reaches its peak at 32 weeks and gradually decreases between 37-38 weeks, so pregnant mothers don't have to worry about their baby not responding.
Fetal movement is a wonderful thing, as the baby and mother are connected by the umbilical cord, and the baby communicates with the mother through fetal movement in the belly. As the ancient saying goes, 'mother and son are connected,' it probably refers to this phenomenon. Counting fetal movements is also a good thing. Count fetal movements every day and record the numbers. If there are better conditions, you can also record the time of fetal movements, so that you can obtain the regularity of baby fetal movements in the long run.
Recording fetal movements is also very helpful for parents, as the time and quantity of fetal movements can indicate the baby's condition. If there is a sudden abnormality in the frequency and timing of fetal movements, pregnant mothers can immediately know the development of their baby.
