Remember the surprise of the first time your baby greeted you?
According to obstetric experts, the activity of the fetus in the womb is called fetal movement. Fetal motility monitoring is an easy and cost-effective way for pregnant women to self-evaluate the intrauterine condition of their fetuses. Generally, the 20th week of pregnancy begins to consciously move, normal fetal movement is 3 to 5 times per hour, gradually increasing with the increase of gestational age, reaching a peak at 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, and weakening fetal motility after 38 weeks of pregnancy due to a decrease in amniotic fluid. In the third trimester, the interaction between the baby and you is becoming more and more obvious, many expectant mothers said that as soon as the baby begins to "show fists and feet" at night, the little guy begins to roll around in the stomach, upside down, and from time to time a combination of kicks...
In the third trimester, how do you count the fetal movements? In fact, every baby has ta's temper... When counting fetal movements, pregnant mothers should choose a quiet environment and comfortable position, from the beginning of the fetus to stop counting once, such as a few consecutive movements are only counted once, and then count after the fetal movement is completely stopped, and then counting. Count 3 times a day in the morning, middle and evening for 1 hour each time to understand the regularity of intrauterine activities of the fetus.
Time fixation method
Count 1 time a day in the morning, middle and evening, and multiply the sum of the fetal motility numbers counted 3 times by 4 to get 12 hours of fetal motility! Theoretically, several fetal movements that occur within 1 or 2 minutes can be combined into one. In fact, the number of tires is not so rigid. After counting several times in a row, you will grasp the law of the baby's activities, counting once or many times, as long as the standards before and after are unified. If the number of fetal motility in 12 hours is greater than 30 times, it means that the fetus is in good condition, if it is less than 10 times in 12 hours, it indicates that the fetus may be hypoxic; if there is no fetal movement for 12 consecutive hours, rescue measures should be taken immediately. If fetal movement is not felt for a long time, fetal distress may occur and you should see a doctor as soon as possible. The fetus is restless in the early stages of hypoxia, and the number of fetal movements increases; when the hypoxia is severe, the fetal movement gradually decreases, indicating that the hypoxia is worsening. From the disappearance of fetal motility to fetal death is generally within 12-24 hours.
Obstetric experts remind that expectant mothers should carefully observe the daily fetal movements, and once there is abnormal fetal movement, they should seek medical treatment immediately so as not to delay the time and cause regrets. The Obstetrics Department of Jiayin Hospital will escort you.
