As an important indicator of mid to late pregnancy, some doctors may ask about the timing of prenatal check ups. So it is necessary for expectant mothers to master how to calculate the number of fetal movements. This can not only provide assistance for doctors' prenatal examinations and work, but also help them better understand the condition of their babies and detect fetal abnormalities in a timely manner.
What is the reason for frequent fetal movements in a seven month pregnant woman
1. At this time, the baby is in a lively period, and because they are not yet very big, there is a relatively large space for movement in the uterus, so this is the most intense period of fetal movement for the baby. Pregnant mothers can feel various big movements of the baby, such as punching, kicking, rolling, and even see small hands and feet protruding from the belly. At this point, the fetal position is elevated and close to the stomach. 2. Pregnant women's movements, posture, emotions, as well as strong sounds, light, and touching the abdomen can all cause changes in fetal movement. So sometimes frequent fetal movements are normal, as long as the total number of fetal movements is not less than 10-20 times, there won't be too many problems!
Identification of fetal movement
1. Identifying fetal movement cannot be judged solely based on the number of movements within an hour, but is generally determined by the number of movements within 12 hours.
2. The number of fetal movements at 12 hours should not be less than 10 times. If it is less than 10 times, it indicates that the fetus is in danger. If it is less than 20 times, it is abnormal, usually around 30-40 times
Baby fetal movement is normal, don't be overly nervous. If you notice a decrease in fetal movements, you should consult a doctor. The number of fetal movements does not necessarily mean that if there is more, there will be more; if there is less, there will be less. There are regulations that can be calculated. Pregnant mothers can look for relevant books to learn about it, in order to avoid misunderstandings and affect their physical health.
