In the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus moves less and less, not because it becomes lazy, but because its activity space becomes smaller. The fetus is growing bigger and bigger, and the narrow space in the uterus no longer allows him to play freely. So what does he do in his belly?
1. Suck your fingers and nibble on your feet
Due to space limitations, the little one can no longer turn over recklessly. He also feels stuffy when he stays in amniotic fluid every day. I just want to have some fun every now and then! Look, bored, he's starting to suck his fingers and nibble on his feet again. Strange, is it coated with honey on top? Licking so fragrant. Although you can't see the real picture, you can imagine it to your heart's content.
2. Taste the taste of amniotic fluid
Do you know? The fetus also has a skill, which is swallowing amniotic fluid. Unexpectedly, at a young age, he has already learned the skill of swallowing in the womb. In the late stage of pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid he swallows will increase and his movements will become more and more proficient. The amniotic fluid that accompanies him every day has become a plaything in and out of his mouth, and it's also so magical!
3. Play with the umbilical cord
Besides its various small movements, the umbilical cord should be the only "toy" for the fetus. The umbilical cord was originally a "channel" for delivering nutrients to the fetus, but it has become a plaything for babies when they are bored. The baby will circle around the umbilical cord or hold onto it to play with. Sometimes, when the fetus is full of energy, the more they play, the more excited they become. They are so happy!
4. Urine anywhere
While the fetus is constantly swallowing amniotic fluid, its small kidneys are also busy. His kidneys are already able to produce urine, so he will 'pee' in his stomach. He won't choose a specialized place to urinate like us, but rather urinate anywhere. What's even worse is that after he excretes urine into the amniotic fluid, he will swallow it together with the amniotic fluid into his own stomach. Are you quite anxious upon hearing this? Don't worry, the urine of the fetus is clean, and some of the waste it excretes can be excreted by the expectant mother through the blood!
5. Yawning and sleeping in
In the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus spends most of its time sleeping, accompanied by the sound of the mother's heartbeat and the flow of amniotic fluid. He would occasionally slowly open his mouth and then quickly close it, as if yawning. Is he tired or sleepy? We don't know about these. However, it is said that sleeping can promote better brain development, so the little one's love for sleeping should also be for this reason!
6. Eavesdrop on external sounds
If anyone is the most professional 'eavesdropper', this title is definitely reserved for the fetus. In the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus will quiet down and secretly listen to external sounds! If he hears a voice he likes, he will dance happily; if he doesn't like a voice, he will punch and kick! So, you need to say more nice words to him, make him remember your voice, and express your love and that of your expectant mother to him. How happy it is!
