When pregnant, every mother is happy, especially feeling that the fetus in her belly is growing day by day. As time goes on, the development of the fetus in the belly becomes more comprehensive. Every time at this time, expectant mothers feel like their belly has been kicked by the fetus. So what does it feel like to be kicked by the fetus?
Actually, after 16 to 18 weeks of pregnancy, expectant mothers may feel a vague sensation of kicking in their belly. Every mother is happy, excited, and content when kicked by the baby in her belly, and some even wonder why the fetus in her belly kicks her? Actually, it's because the fetus in the belly is exercising and stretching their hands and feet.
If the baby in the belly doesn't kick, that's abnormal. If the fetus moves too little in the stomach, it may develop congenital bone diseases after birth, such as shorter bones. Although the baby's range of motion in the abdomen is relatively small, it cannot prevent them from stretching their hands and feet. Moreover, during the later stages of childbirth, the activity rate of the baby will increase, and the exercise rate of boys will be higher than that of girls.
But sometimes the baby's movements in the belly are gentle and they don't feel pain, but sometimes their movements are intense and they may feel uncomfortable. In fact, this is a message that the baby is sending to you. This time, the baby is sending a signal without a sense of security, so parents should not be under too much pressure during pregnancy and should relax their mood.
