Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity. In early pregnancy, fetal movement is generally not very obvious and begins to appear around 16 to 18 weeks. So, how to calculate fetal movement correctly?
Pregnant women should choose one hour each for counting fetal movements in the morning, middle, and evening. One number should be counted every time the fetus moves, and three values should be recorded every three hours. It is required that there be 20 to 30 fetal movements during the twelve hour period, and fetal movements will be more frequent in the late stages of pregnancy. If the number and frequency of fetal movements are normal, it is considered a normal situation. If fetal movements are too fast or decrease, it is considered an abnormal situation. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner and take corresponding measures for targeted treatment. During pregnancy, regular prenatal check ups should be conducted to monitor the condition of both the pregnant woman and the child at all times.
Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus within the uterine cavity, which is caused by the impact of certain parts of the body or limbs on the uterine wall. Normal fetal movement occurs 3-5 times per hour, but the fetus is not active every hour and is generally not felt during rest.
Pregnant women can sit or lie on their side, placing their hands lightly on the abdominal wall to feel fetal movement. If the fetal movement is less than 3 times per hour or less than 20 times for 12 consecutive hours, it indicates intrauterine hypoxia or other reasons. Frequent fetal movement refers to fetal movements exceeding 10 times per hour. If there is frequent fetal movement, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to determine if it is normal.
