It is normal for fetal movement to occur in women after a certain period of pregnancy. Pregnant women must pay attention to fetal movements and take time every day to count them. If any abnormal fetal movement is found, it must be taken seriously and timely medical examination should be sought. So, what are the reasons for the severe movements of the fetus in the later stage?
In the later stages of pregnancy, if the fetus moves violently, it may be caused by intrauterine hypoxia, which requires immediate medical attention. Fetal movement can reflect whether the fetus is lacking oxygen. If fetal movement is too frequent, it is an abnormal phenomenon, which is a manifestation of fetal distress in the uterus and immediate measures must be taken. If ignored, it may cause fetal asphyxia and death.
Compared to mid pregnancy, fetal movements are more frequent in late pregnancy. The number of fetal movements should reach 20 or more within 12 hours, otherwise it is considered insufficient fetal movement. If the baby's fetal movement has been inactive for a long time, but suddenly becomes frequent, it is considered an abnormal situation.
Pregnant women feel that their baby's fetal movements are more frequent at night than during the day, which is normal. Because it is quieter at night, pregnant women are more sensitive, and the fetus can feel it with just a slight movement. During the day, it is noisy and pregnant women have more activities, so it is not easy for them to feel fetal movement, so they may feel that there is less fetal movement.
