When every baby is in the mother's womb, there will be fetal movements, but the time and frequency of fetal movements are not exactly the same for each baby. Generally speaking, as the pregnancy months increase, the baby's fetal movements will become more frequent and the amplitude will be greater than before. However, some pregnant women may experience less fetal movements at 6 months old. Why is this?
1、 Why is there less fetal movement at 6 months
There are two reasons for this situation. One is that between 20-35 weeks of pregnancy, the baby is in a lively period because they are not yet very big and there is a relatively large space for movement in the uterus. Therefore, it may be because the baby's movements did not cause too much fetal movement, and the pregnant woman did not feel much. Secondly, it is possible that the baby is experiencing hypoxia, and frequent fetal movements are a response to the hypoxic environment. If there is a significant difference in fetal movement, frequency, and frequency compared to usual, it is recommended to immediately go to a hospital where prenatal check ups are conducted for fetal electrocardiogram monitoring and ultrasound. Under the guidance of a doctor, this situation can be alleviated. If the examination is normal, then rest assured to raise the fetus. Fetal movement varies from person to person, and timely medical attention should be sought when abnormal conditions are discovered.
2、 What is normal fetal movement at 6 months
The frequency, speed, and strength of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Fetal movements are the activities of the fetus in the uterus. Normal obvious fetal movements should not be less than 3-5 times within 1 hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements should be 30-40 times or more within 12 hours. However, due to the significant individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses can move around 100 times within 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.
The fetal movements of each fetus are different, just like there are no two identical leaves in the world, and there will be no identical frequency and amplitude of fetal movements in life. Everyone is unique. There are different standards for fetal movement at different stages, and pregnant women need to measure fetal movement regularly in order to timely understand the condition of the fetus.
