Pregnant women may occasionally notice a bump in their belly during late pregnancy, which is a sign of fetal movement. The first time seeing fetal movement is the happiest and most exciting moment for expectant mothers. Through long-term observation, expectant mothers may find that fetal movement is more pronounced in the afternoon. Is frequent fetal movement in the afternoon normal?
The frequency and intensity of fetal movements have standards and patterns. In general, the frequency and intensity of fetal movements are low in the morning, but they will increase in the afternoon. Moreover, there are significant individual differences in the standard of fetal movements. As long as fetal movements are regular and controlled, the fetus is healthy and normal. The frequent fetal movements in the afternoon are related to the external environment.
1. I am quite excited after meals. After lunch, the pregnant woman's body is full of energy, and the blood sugar level increases, so the nutrition supplied to the fetus is very sufficient. Fetuses also have the same strength as adults when they have enough food to eat, and pregnant mothers will feel particularly strong fetal movements at this time.
2. The environment is calm. In the afternoon, pregnant women do not need to dress themselves or tidy up the house like they do when they first wake up. Most of them are in a state of bed rest, and the pregnant mother herself and the environment around her are very quiet. Pregnant women can concentrate on feeling fetal movements, so fetal movements appear to be more frequent.
3. The desire to communicate. By the time the fetus reaches the late stage of pregnancy, it can already hear external sounds. He hopes to communicate with the outside world through his own movements, and in the afternoon, he has plenty of energy, so he prefers to use frequent fetal movements to communicate.
