For pregnant women, the happiest moment is to feel the baby's fetal movement in a timely manner. Generally, the fetus will experience fetal movement after 15 weeks, and at this time, the pregnant mother will also start recording the baby's fetal movement because it is an important signal for the fetus to convey to the mother whether it is healthy or not. What is the reason for frequent fetal movements in the late stages of pregnancy?
Reasons for frequent fetal movements in late pregnancy
1. If there is a risk of placental aging or fetal umbilical cord entanglement around the neck, it is important to listen to the heart rate to keep track of the fetal condition. However, pregnant women should not be overly nervous or anxious, and should face it with a calm attitude, which is beneficial for the fetus. Pregnant women who reach 36 weeks of pregnancy can have their fetal heart sounds measured once a week. If any problems are found, they should immediately go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
2. In the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus is basically mature, so the amount of fetal excrement will gradually increase. At this time, the amniotic fluid in the abdomen will appear cloudy. We know that both umbilical cord entanglement and amniotic fluid turbidity can cause difficulty breathing and frequent fetal movements. Fetal movements during pregnancy gradually become more frequent after 28 weeks and weaken after 38 weeks. In addition to recording fetal movements, pregnant women should also be careful not to engage in vigorous exercise to prevent falls, and walk with their feet under their feet.
Although women may undergo various prenatal check ups regularly during pregnancy, since the checks only observe the condition of the fetus at that time, it is still necessary for the mother to self test the condition of the fetus in daily life. Therefore, it can be seen that recording fetal movement is very important. By combining self testing of the fetus's condition in the womb with the doctor's examination, we can gain a more detailed understanding of the fetus and better safeguard its health.
