Pregnant in October, as the pregnancy progresses, the baby's every move affects the mother's heart, and the expectant mother can gradually feel the baby in the belly moving.
Many pregnant mothers will have questions, how to count fetal movements?
For expectant mothers who are pregnant for the first time, they want to know what the little one is doing in the belly, but they don't know the feeling of fetal movement, the obstetrics department of Hunan Want Want Hospital popularizes the knowledge of fetal movement to all expectant mothers, and sees how the baby interacts with the mother.
Popular Science Knowledge:
1. Time and frequency of fetal movements:
Many expectant mothers will feel the obvious first fetal movement at 16-20 weeks, and the number of fetal movements will gradually increase after 20 weeks, reach a peak at 28~32 weeks, and gradually decrease after 32 weeks.
The number of fetal movements also changes in a day, the fetal movement is uniform at 8~12 o'clock in the morning, and then gradually decreases, decreasing to the minimum at 2~3 o'clock in the afternoon, and increasing to the maximum at 8~11 o'clock in the evening. When there is a lack of oxygen in the uterus, the number of fetal movements decreases or disappears.
Second, the method of fetal movement counting:
After 28 weeks of pregnancy, count 1 hour of fetal movements in a calm state every morning, noon and dinner, and multiply the number of 3 fetal movements by 4 to obtain the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. Normally, the fetal movement count is greater than 15 movements per 3 hours.
3. Abnormal fetal movements:
1. Frequent fetal movements
When the umbilical cord is compressed, the fetus shows a sudden occurrence of strong fetal movements, which can be improved by changing the position, and the frequent fetal movements that are not relieved should be checked in time.
2. Fetal movement is reduced
If there are less than 20 fetal movements in 12 hours, it is abnormal, and if there are less than 10 movements, it indicates that the fetus is in danger and there is a lack of oxygen in the womb. But note: this is a general rule, everyone's fetal movements are regular, and the rhythm is different.
3. How is it counted as a fetal movement?
Generally speaking, the baby is counted once after continuous turning and pause, the baby moves, moves again after a second or two, and moves again after a second or two, this can only be counted once, and the baby moves back and forth for a while, which is also counted as a fetal movement.
(In order not to forget the number of fetal movements, pregnant mothers can put candy or other small items in the left pocket of the clothes, take one to the right pocket at a time, and see how many candies there are on the right side after an hour, that is, how many fetal movements)
Fetal movement counting is the simplest and most direct self-monitoring method, through which the fetal movement count can be used to preliminarily determine the state of the fetus in utero.
Therefore, if the fetal movement is frequent or significantly reduced, and the usual rhythm is lost, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid accidents.
How to count fetal movements, have you learned?
Fetal movement is so important, so pregnant mothers should insist on counting fetal movements every day in the third trimester, so that they can accurately analyze whether the baby is growing up healthily every day through the data recorded every day.
