Female friends who are pregnant for the first time need to learn more about pregnancy knowledge, as they do not have any experience in this area. Therefore, it is even more important to master this knowledge through learning to ensure a healthy and healthy pregnancy. For example, fetal movements and contractions during pregnancy are normal physiological phenomena that occur during pregnancy. So, how do fetal movements record contractions?
As a first-time pregnant female friend, first of all, it is important to understand that fetal movement and contractions belong to two separate concepts. Fetal movement refers to the activity of the fetus in the uterus, especially during mid pregnancy when the fetus is more frequent. However, in late pregnancy, especially after the fetus enters the womb, fetal movement gradually decreases. Therefore, during this stage of pregnancy, women often feel that fetal movement is only slight or not significant.
Uterine contractions during pregnancy can be divided into true contractions and false contractions. Generally, false contractions do not have a certain regularity, while true contractions are more regular and appear before delivery, and are also the main driving force for childbirth. The reason for their occurrence is the contraction of abdominal and uterine muscles, which forms this dynamic force.
Pregnant women can record fetal movements and contractions during pregnancy through the smartphone app software, which has a cycle and time table for recording. The operation is simple and can be carried out according to the instructions. In addition, one method is the paper note taking method, which is also a conventional method. The time and frequency of contractions and fetal movements can be recorded on paper, and then compared with a reference table to determine whether they are true or false contractions, and whether fetal movements are within the normal range.
