How to fill in the self fetal movement test?

summary

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity impacting on the uterine wall. After four months of pregnancy, that is, from the fifth month, the mother can obviously feel the activity of the fetus. The fetus reaches out, kicks and impacts the uterine wall in the uterus, which is called fetal movement. The number of fetal movements, speed, strength, etc. indicate the safety of the fetus. Fetal movement is the movement of the fetus in the mother's womb. Whether the fetal movement is normal or not is related to the life safety of the fetus. Pregnant mothers should pay attention to it.

How to fill in the self fetal movement test?

To monitor fetal movement at home, we should first have a certain understanding of the common sense of fetal movement. The amount of activity of each fetus is different, some active, some like quiet. Different pregnant mothers may have different number of fetal movements. However, their activities in the womb have their own rules and normal range. After a period of time, careful pregnant mothers will master the baby's movement rules.

From the 28th week of pregnancy, pregnant women should find free time every day (after dinner is recommended, because fetal movements are more frequent at this time), adopt left lying position, and record the time required for 10 fetal movements; If it is less than 120 minutes, it means that there is no abnormality in the number of fetal movements. However, if there is no feeling of fetal movement, or the time required for 10 fetal movements is more than 2 hours, you should find a doctor for further examination as soon as possible.

Calculate the number of fetal movements in a fixed time: expectant mothers use one hour each day to measure fetal movements in the morning, noon and evening. If the average number of fetal movements is less than 3 times per hour, it means that they may be abnormal. The simplest way is to measure the number of fetal movements during the day: that is, the expectant mother can feel at ease if she measures 10 fetal movements during the day.

matters needing attention

When the placental function is insufficient or the fetus has some diseases, the fetal movement is often reduced. Before the fetal intrauterine death caused by some chronic diseases, the fetal movement is often gradually reduced or disappeared for a few days, and then the fetal heart sound disappears, that is, the fetus dies. Therefore, for the fetus with severe intrauterine hypoxia, the reduction or disappearance of fetal movement needs to be rescued immediately. Sometimes, severe fetal movement can also indicate fetal intrauterine hypoxia, which can be seen in placental abruption or umbilical cord compression. If not handled in time, fetal movement can disappear, and fetal death can also occur in the uterus.
