During pregnancy, pregnant women enjoy feeling the fetal movement because they feel it allows them to directly sense the presence of the fetus. However, the position of fetal movement is not fixed, mainly because the baby's position also changes inside the mother's body. But is it normal for fetal movement to occur next to the stomach at 31 weeks of pregnancy?
At around 31 weeks of pregnancy, it is normal for the fetus to move next to it because at this time, the development of the fetus is almost complete. Therefore, if there is movement in the uterus, the amplitude of the movement will be relatively large. And because the position of the fetus can also change, it is normal for fetal movement to occur next to the stomach.
And because at 31 weeks, babies are more lively. In addition, at this time, because their volume is not particularly large, and the space for movement inside the uterus is relatively large, the fetal movement of the baby can be said to be the most intense during mid pregnancy. So many pregnant women can see agitation on their bellies.
If mothers find that their baby's fetal movements have decreased and are not as frequent as before, it is actually a normal situation. This is because when preparing for birth, the fetus has already grown larger and there is not as much room for movement in the uterus, so the movements may not be able to be performed, resulting in a decrease in fetal movements.
