At the moment of learning about pregnancy, many female friends were extremely surprised. A small life exists in our own belly, but we cannot feel its presence. Only one day did the little one transmit information to his expectant mother through various activities, which was called fetal movement. Afterwards, expectant mothers will need to record fetal movements every day. Next, let's take a look at how to count fetal movements in the later stages of pregnancy?
1. Count 3 times a day, counting the number of fetal movements for 1 hour each time
Choose a fixed time in the morning, afternoon, and evening to count. Sit down, raise the foot pad, or lie down on the left side, place your hand on your stomach, and keep moving for a few hours. Prepare the paper and make a mark once you feel the fetal movement. Add up the three measured fetal movements before bedtime, then multiply by 4 to obtain the 12 hour fetal movement count. Your 12 hour fetal movement should generally be around 30-40 times. If you are a expectant mother with frequent fetal movements, the number of fetal movements in 12 hours may reach around 100 times.
2. Count once a day, counting the number of fetal movements for one hour each time
Choose a time of the day when the baby's fetal movements are more active, and try to count fetal movements at the same time every day. Sit down, raise the foot pad, or lie down on the left side, place your hand on your stomach, and keep moving for a few hours. Prepare the paper and make a mark once you feel the fetal movement. The number of fetal movements you can feel within an hour is likely to be five or six times or even more. Although counting fetal movements can be troublesome, in the late stages of pregnancy, fetal movements can be the most important indicator for expectant mothers to judge their baby's condition. Therefore, it is best to count fetal movements as much as possible!
The above is the encyclopedia introduction about how to count fetal movements in the later stages of pregnancy. In short, learning how to count fetal movements can help expectant mothers assess the health status of their babies, especially if they are high-risk pregnant women. However, it is important to remind expectant mothers that the frequency and amplitude of fetal movements can vary greatly among different fetuses, and the most important thing is to find the pattern of fetal movements in one's own fetus. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone.
