Feeling less fetal movement at 38 weeks of pregnancy may be caused by low amniotic fluid volume, the fetus entering the pelvis, and intrauterine hypoxia.
1. Low amniotic fluid: at 38 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is usually bigger, if the amniotic fluid is low, it will lead to less space for the fetus to move in the uterus, which will result in less fetal movement.
2. Fetal pelvic: fetal movement at 38 weeks of pregnancy may be caused by fetal pelvic, fetal pelvic activity in the uterus is usually limited, which is a normal phenomenon.
3. Intrauterine hypoxia: The fetal movement at 38 weeks of pregnancy is not excluded from the symptoms of hypoxia in the uterus.
If you feel less fetal movement in 38 weeks of pregnancy, go to the hospital in time to do ultrasound, as well as fetal heart monitoring and other tests to clarify the condition of the fetus in the uterus. Relax during pregnancy and avoid strenuous exercise.
