Pregnancy is a very curious thing for everyone, especially after the first fetal movement. Parents may feel incredible, and when they feel the movement of the fetus in their womb, they will also have a full sense of happiness. Some pregnant women do not understand fetal movement, so what does fetal movement mean for the baby?
Firstly, fetal movement is a highly effective method for detecting fetal health. Generally speaking, the frequency, speed, strength, and weakness of fetal movements can reflect the safety of the fetus. Normal fetal movements should not be less than 4 times per hour, but exceeding 10 times per hour is considered excessive fetal movement. The so-called frequent fetal movements refer to the increase in the frequency of fetal movements felt by pregnant women. One possibility is a natural increase in fetal movements, or it may be caused by pathological reasons. If similar problems occur, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner to understand the situation.
Of course, fetal movement does not occur immediately after pregnancy. Generally speaking, when pregnant women feel fetal movement, it is around 18 weeks of pregnancy, but the amplitude of fetal movement is very small at this time and requires careful observation by the pregnant woman. The active period of fetal movement refers to at least 3-5 movements per hour during the 30-32 weeks of pregnancy.
Fetal movement is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy, and there is no need to panic after it occurs. Fetal movement itself does not cause any harm, but if fetal movement is frequent in late pregnancy, it needs to be observed carefully, which may indicate signs of childbirth.
