Pregnant women want to know if their baby is healthy. After the fetus experiences fetal movement, they will pay attention to the movement to understand if the fetus is healthy. At the same time, fetal movement can also be used to determine the amount of amniotic fluid. So, is there any scientific basis for this? Let's learn together how to feel the amount of amniotic fluid?
To know the amount of amniotic fluid, as we all know, it is necessary to do an ultrasound to naturally determine. However, the number of times ultrasound can be performed during pregnancy is limited and cannot be done frequently, as pregnant women may worry about amniotic fluid. Especially towards the due date, they may feel the amount of amniotic fluid through fetal movements.
Although fetal movement is somewhat related to the amount of amniotic fluid, it is not only the lack of amniotic fluid that affects fetal movement. There are many factors that can cause abnormal fetal movement. If a pregnant woman finds that the fetus is still for more than 75 minutes and feels that the fetus is not moving, even for more than half an hour, it is recommended to eat something and touch the belly. If the fetal movement is significantly reduced, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination immediately.
There is no scientific basis for understanding the amount of amniotic fluid based on intuition, although there is a connection between fetal movement and amniotic fluid. However, it is not an absolute reason, so once any abnormalities are found, it is important to communicate with a doctor in a timely manner. Oligohydramnios can be increased by drinking water or soup to prevent it from affecting the health of the fetus.
