Fetal movement is already present at 4 months of pregnancy, and some pregnant women can feel it consciously, but there are individual differences.
Fetal movement refers to the movement of the body and limbs of the fetus, generally in the fourth month of pregnancy, fetal limbs can be moved, and some pregnant women can feel the fetal movement. At this time, fetal movement will gradually increase with the increase of pregnancy weeks, most pregnant women will be in the 16-20 weeks of pregnancy, generally in the evening and afternoon time more active fetal movement.
Fetal movement counting should be carried out after 28 weeks of pregnancy to be able to self-evaluate the intrauterine condition of the fetus, which is normally 3-5 times/hour.
When there is a decrease or disappearance of fetal movement, we should be highly alert to the possibility of fetal hypoxia, we need to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and ultrasonography, fetal heart rate monitoring, etc. to fully assess the fetal condition, and if necessary, need to terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
