summary

Pregnant mothers in the second and third trimester of pregnancy to prenatal examination, the doctor will explain a: pay attention to fetal movement! This sentence has two meanings: one is to pay attention to whether there is any obvious difference between the fetal movement and before, and the other is to pay attention to whether the number of fetal movements is within the normal range. What does it mean to pay attention to fetal movement? Then the following information about fetal movement for you to learn.

What does it mean to pay attention to fetal movement?

First, counting fetal movement is simple and easy, and there is no trauma and economic burden. In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, we can evaluate whether the fetus is in good condition by fetal movement. Generally, when fetal movement is abnormal, we should first consider whether there is the possibility of hypoxia. Although it is not a gold indicator, it can be used as the first warning signal of fetal danger, which can not be replaced by fetal heart rate. Because the fetal heart rate usually disappears after the fetal movement disappears. If the fetal heart rate disappears before it is discovered, the best time to save will be missed, and it is too late.

Second: under normal circumstances, when pregnant 18-20 feel the first fetal movement, but the doctor will generally let pregnant mothers start counting fetal movement at 28 weeks, when the fetal movement has begun to take shape, can be used as a clinical reference. Every pregnant woman's fetal movement law is not the same, some pregnant women eat when fetal movement is obvious, some pregnant women in the evening fetal movement is obvious, so we should have a grasp of their own fetal movement law. If the baby moves regularly every day, you don't need to count it.

Third: if the law of fetal movement has changed, then it needs to count. When counting fetal movements, you can choose one hour in the morning, one hour in the afternoon and one hour in the evening when your child likes to move, and count five times per hour. If the fetal movement is increased by more than 60% on the original basis, or less than 3 times in an hour, it is too much or too little. We should pay attention to it and go to the hospital in time to fight for valuable life-saving time for the healthy survival of the fetus.

matters needing attention

In fact, as early as 8 weeks of gestation, through ultrasound, that is, B-ultrasound examination, we can observe that the fetal limbs are gradually mature, hands and feet will start to move, and may also turn over! But at this time, the expectant mother can't feel it, because it's really too slight! Most mothers feel the first fetal movement around 16-20 weeks. If they are primiparas, it may take 20 weeks to feel obvious fetal movement. With the passage of pregnancy, fetal movement will gradually increase, but in late pregnancy, because the fetus is getting bigger and bigger, the free space in the uterus will gradually decrease, so fetal movement will slowly decrease!
