Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterus. When a woman is four or five months pregnant, she can clearly feel the traces of fetal movement, including movements such as reaching out, kicking, and hitting the uterine wall. Fetal movement can indicate whether the fetus is developing normally. However, some women may feel pain in the abdomen when the fetus moves. So, what is the reason for fetal abdominal pain?
If a fetus experiences abdominal pain during movement, it may be due to frequent fetal movements. However, if a woman continues to feel abdominal pain, it may be caused by adverse stimuli to the fetus. Women should be careful to avoid being affected by the stimuli, and also avoid vigorous exercise, reduce anger and frustration, maintain a good mood, and pay attention to bed rest when experiencing abdominal pain.
In the late stages of pregnancy, women will feel more pronounced fetal movements, and the frequency of fetal movements is also relatively high. This is because the fetus gradually grows and its movements will be larger. Generally speaking, the fetus will have more fetal movements in the evening and afternoon.
Women in the late stages of pregnancy need to do a good job of self-monitoring in order to timely detect any abnormalities in fetal development and receive early treatment. Women need to undergo fetal heart rate monitoring every morning, afternoon, and evening. During monitoring, they can sit or lie on their side, and then gently place their hands on the abdominal wall to feel fetal movement.
