Fetal movement is a very magical movement. Many expectant mothers are curious and longing for their baby's fetal movement before it appears obvious. After obvious fetal movement, they will unconsciously touch their belly and interact with their baby from time to time. Generally, fetal movement is least frequent from 18 to 30 weeks. During this period, the space in the uterus is still spacious enough and the baby's size is not too large, so the baby's fetal movement is very frequent. However, if the body is tired, is it normal for fetal movement to decrease? Is it normal for fetal movement to decrease after 6 months of pregnancy?
At 6 months pregnant, I was so tired that there was less fetal movement
From a medical perspective, a baby's normal fetal movement is 3-5 times per hour or more per day. Excessive or insufficient fetal movement indicates the safety of the fetus in the body. If a woman is six months pregnant and experiences a decrease in fetal movement due to the mother's fatigue, it is highly abnormal. If it is clear that the decrease in fetal movement is caused by the mother's fatigue, the first step is to rest and observe the fetal movement. If the fetal movement is normal, there is no need to worry. If the fetal movement is still very low, an ultrasound examination should be performed to check if the fetus is normal.
What is the reason for frequent fetal movements
Due to significant individual differences between fetuses, some fetuses can move around 100 times within 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and have little variation, 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. So expectant mothers don't have to worry too much about frequent fetal movements.
Fetal movement is indeed a magical thing, and it can accurately reflect the health of the fetus in the uterus. Uterine hypoxia and maternal abnormalities can lead to increased or decreased fetal movement. Therefore, expectant mothers should not only pay attention to the fetal movement at all times, but also pay attention to their daily lifestyle and dietary habits to avoid external factors affecting the healthy growth of the fetus.
