Frequent fetal movement

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity to impact the uterine wall. After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, from the 5th month, the mother can obviously feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches its hands, kicks, and hits the uterine wall in the womb. This is the fetal movement. The number of fetal movements, the speed of the fetus, and the like indicate the safety of the fetus. The normal obvious fetal movement is not less than 3 to 5 times in one hour, and the obvious fetal movement is more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to large differences in individual fetuses, some fetuses can move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and little change, it is proved that fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, sufficient oxygen is delivered to the fetus, and the fetus grows and develops soundly in the womb and is happily moving. The number of fetal movements is not constant. During 28-38 weeks of pregnancy, it is a period of active fetal movements, and then slightly weakened until delivery. Pregnant women's movements, postures, emotions, strong sounds, strong light and touching the abdomen can cause fetal movement The change.
