Pregnancy is a magical thing that can make women instantly burst out of all maternal love. From the moment of pregnancy, a woman's body and mind will be devoted to the baby in her belly, constantly concerned about the development of the baby. Sometimes I even want to touch where the baby is in the belly. So, where does the fetus move at 18 weeks of pregnancy?
Firstly, 18 weeks of pregnancy belongs to the mid pregnancy stage, when the fetal position is not yet fixed. At this time, the bottom of the uterus is just below the belly button of the pregnant woman, so the fetus is in the mother's lower abdomen at 18 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the gestational sac is still very small and has a relatively large range of movement in the uterus, like a small fish floating freely in the amniotic fluid. To understand the position of the fetus, it is necessary to observe it through B-ultrasound, which can see the fetus in the uterus under direct vision.
Secondly, at 18 weeks, the fetus has already developed many organs, with flesh pads on its hands, feet, and fingertips. The fetus's eyes have already found the correct position, and at this time, the fetus's entire body is still covered in fluff. When doing ultrasound, the bones of the fetus can be seen and the gender of the fetus can be clearly identified. Starting from 18 weeks, it is necessary to count fetal movements, which can help pregnant women identify whether there are abnormalities in the fetus.
Finally, at 18 weeks of pregnancy, fetal movement is just beginning to be felt, and at this time, the amount of fetal movement is not very large, and the amplitude of movements is also very small. At this point, pregnant mothers may feel similar to bloating or gastrointestinal motility, which inexperienced mothers cannot distinguish. At this point, the mother must communicate more with the baby. The baby is conscious in the mother's womb, and as long as you talk to her, the baby will react.
