Many pregnant women believe that if they cannot feel fetal movement, the fetus may be in danger of life, but this is not the case. Fetal movement does not occur throughout pregnancy, and the timing of fetal movement varies for each mother. In order to alleviate the anxiety of mothers who have not yet experienced fetal movement, let's talk about what happens when there is no fetal movement at 17 weeks?
Normally, fetal movement occurs around 4-5 months of pregnancy, and some pregnant women are more sensitive and feel that fetal movement occurs earlier. If you haven't felt it yet, don't worry, just wait a little longer.
In mid pregnancy, the fetus grows and develops rapidly. Pregnant women need to strengthen nutrition and rest more, and undergo ultrasound testing to see the growth and development of the fetus in the uterus. In the later stage, fetal movement will occur, initially less and weaker. As the fetus grows and develops, the intensity of fetal movement will gradually increase.
The measurement of fetal movement is essential for every pregnant woman. Persistently recording daily fetal movements during mid to late pregnancy not only helps to strengthen the relationship between the mother and the fetus, but also helps monitor the health of the fetus in the uterus. It has been found that fetuses often experience a decrease in fetal movement several weeks to one week before death, followed by a disappearance of fetal movement. The reduction to cessation of fetal movement is an emergency signal of severe asphyxia and imminent death of the fetus in the uterus. If pregnant women can detect abnormal fetal movement in a timely manner, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible and undergo cesarean section surgery, which can often turn the fetus from danger to safety.
Fetal movement is an important symbol of fetal life signs and a key information for doctors to monitor fetal health. Pregnant women need to pay attention to the phenomenon of fetal movement, but they should not be overly anxious before fetal movement occurs. The previous text explained what happened when there was no fetal movement at 17 weeks, hoping to alleviate the nervousness of mothers who have not yet experienced fetal movement.
