After becoming pregnant, female friends will definitely be very concerned about the number of fetal movements. Because the health level of a child can be determined by the number of fetal movements. The fetus will start to have fetal movement as early as 7 and 8 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, women must pay attention to observing whether the number of fetuses is normal. So, how many fetuses are normal?
Firstly, when female friends are four or five months pregnant, they may experience fetal movement for the first time, but the frequency of fetal movement is relatively low and the interval is long, only occasionally making the mother feel it. But at 7 months of pregnancy, the number of fetal movements will develop a regular pattern, with an average of 30 to 40 movements per 12 hours.
In addition, fetal sleep is also very regular, and under normal circumstances, there will be significant changes in the frequency of fetal movements during the day and night. Under normal circumstances, the number of fetal movements during the day is relatively low, and it only becomes ordinary after 6pm. The most active fetal movements occur between 20:00 and 23:00 at night.
Secondly, due to individual differences in the fetus, there will be significant variations in the strength and frequency of fetal movements for each fetus. Some babies can move around 30 to 40 times every 12 hours, while others can even move more than 100 times. However, sudden excessive fetal movements must be taken seriously.
Also, if the fetus suddenly moves less than 20 times within 12 hours, or if the intensity of fetal movement changes significantly, it indicates that the fetus is in danger in the abdomen and may experience hypoxia. It is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner.
