After 16 weeks of pregnancy, when the fetus reaches a certain level of development, it will begin to move inside the mother's uterus. In fact, this is when the fetus begins to communicate with the outside world through fetal movement, allowing the mother to feel herself. It is also proof that expectant mothers can understand whether the fetus is healthy through fetal movement. Generally, fetal movement is regular. What should be done if there are changes? What is the reason for frequent fetal movement at 32 weeks? Now let me introduce it to you.
What is the fetal movement frequency at 32 weeks
During pregnancy, fetal movement varies at different stages. As the fetus grows, fetal movement is generally most pronounced at 30 and 32 weeks. At 20 weeks, the average number of fetal movements is about 200, which increases to 375 at 32 weeks. The daily number of fetal movements may range from 100 to 700. The normal times for frequent fetal movements are before bedtime, after eating, while taking a shower, talking to the stomach, listening to music, etc.
What is the reason for frequent fetal movement at 32 weeks
The most obvious fetal movements occur during the 30th and 32nd weeks of pregnancy, and frequent fetal movements during these times are relatively normal. The frequency and intensity of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Generally, continuous fetal movements can only be recorded as one time, and only those with an interval of more than 5 minutes can be recorded as the second time. There will be 3 to 5 obvious fetal movements within 1 hour, and 30 to 40 obvious fetal movements within 12 hours.
But due to the large individual differences between fetuses, some fetuses can move around 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and not significantly altered, it proves that fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates good placental function, sufficient oxygen supply to the fetus, healthy growth and development of the fetus in the uterus, and happy activity. So expectant mothers don't have to worry too much about frequent fetal movements.
But sometimes excessive fetal movement may be due to fetal hypoxia. If the fetal hypoxia worsens, fetal movement will gradually weaken, which is a precursor to fetal danger and corresponding rescue measures must be taken.
After the introduction by the editor, I believe that expectant mothers have a better understanding of fetal movement. As 30-32 weeks is the most obvious period of fetal movement, if there is an abnormal increase in fetal movement during this stage and expectant mothers cannot accurately judge the condition of the fetus, the editor suggests that you must go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to avoid delaying treatment time and causing serious consequences.
