After pregnancy, the most concerned thing for women is whether the fetus in their belly is healthy, and fetal movement is an important indicator of fetal health. Women can monitor the condition of the fetus by counting fetal movements to determine whether the baby in their belly is developing healthily. So, is fetal movement a bit normal at 21 weeks?
Firstly, pregnant women may feel fetal movement around 20 weeks, which is not very obvious and sometimes shows a certain regularity. At around 30 weeks, fetal movement can be monitored, and by counting fetal movements, it is possible to detect whether there is intrauterine hypoxia in the fetus. Under normal circumstances, fetal movement should not be less than 6 times within two hours. Once it is less than 6 times, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. At present, there is a bit of fetal movement at 21 weeks, which is not necessarily related to intrauterine hypoxia, so there is no need to be too concerned about fetal movement.
Secondly, at 21 weeks of pregnancy, if there is fetal movement at the beginning, pregnant women can also record the time and frequency of fetal movement. As long as the fetal movement is regular and the changes are not significant, it is considered normal. Counting fetal movements should start after 28 weeks. If you feel abnormal fetal movements or are unsure, you can go to the hospital for examination. During this period, it is important to pay attention to rest and maintain a relaxed mood. Only with a good mood can a healthy baby be born.
Finally, the fetus has its own schedule and cannot be constantly moving or in a state of sleep. Therefore, the rest time and activity time of the fetus alternate with each other. If the fetal movement is frequent, it indicates that he is active, and if the fetal movement is reduced, it indicates that he is resting. These are normal phenomena, as long as regular prenatal checkups are done. It is important to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as seafood. Going out to bask in the sun during free time is beneficial for the healthy development of the fetus.
