It is normal when fetal movement count is normal after frequent nighttime fetal movements at 38 weeks of gestation, but it is not normal when there is a decrease or disappearance of fetal movements.
Fetal movement refers to the body movement of the fetus, and fetal movement count should be performed after 28 weeks of gestation to evaluate the intrauterine condition of the fetus, and the normal is ≥10 times/2 hours. However, it is normal to have frequent fetal movements at night at 38 weeks of pregnancy and the fetal movement count is normal, but it is not normal when there is a decrease or disappearance of fetal movements after frequent fetal movements, and there may be a risk of fetal hypoxia, so go to the hospital in time for medical attention.
At 38 weeks of gestation, the pregnancy is full term, and you should continue to wait for labor under close monitoring of the fetal heartbeat and changes in fetal movement, and be prepared for delivery at any time. When there is a decrease in fetal movement or other abnormalities, you should go to the hospital and undergo ultrasound and fetal heart rate monitoring to assess the intrauterine condition of the fetus, and terminate the pregnancy when there is a suspicion of fetal distress or when it is clear that the fetus is in distress.
