As pregnancy deepens, the frequency of fetal movement will become increasingly apparent. Many newly pregnant mothers do not know when their fetus is moving, and when the movement is obvious. If fetal movement is obvious within a few days but not obvious within a few days, is this symptom normal?
Generally speaking, fetal movement can be felt between 15-20 weeks, and an increase or decrease in fetal activity indicates abnormal conditions and should be treated promptly. The best way now is to go to the hospital for a check-up. If the fetal movement is not obvious in mid pregnancy, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If there are no abnormalities during the examination, it is recommended to rest more and observe fetal movement.
The frequency and speed of fetal movements can actually reflect the physical condition of the baby. Normal and obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3-5 times within 1 hour and no less than 30-40 times within 12 hours.
Normally, pregnant women can feel fetal movements starting from four months of pregnancy, reaching their peak from seven to nine months, with approximately 130 movements per day. There are two peak periods of fetal movement in a day, one from 7pm to 9pm and the other from 11pm to early morning.
However, sometimes there are significant differences between individual fetuses. Some fetuses can move 100 times within 12 hours. Normal fetal movement means that the placenta is functioning well, ensuring normal oxygen supply. Therefore, the baby will grow and develop well in the uterus, and the frequency of exercise will increase.
