Fetal movement 3 to 5 times an hour is normal, but it depends on the individual pattern of fetal movement, as opposed to your own situation.
Fetal movements are caused by the movement of the fetus within the woman’s uterine cavity, such as stirring of the feet and stretching of the arms. Fetal movement ranges from weak to progressively stronger as the weeks of pregnancy increase, and can usually be felt by pregnant women at around 18 weeks of pregnancy, with peak fetal movement at 29 to 38 weeks.
The number and timing of fetal movements can reflect the physical condition of the fetus to a certain extent. In general, the fetus will have 3 to 5 times of fetal movement in an hour, and the number of fetal movement in 12 hours should be 30 to 40 times, which is less than the number of times that the fetus may lack of oxygen, and we should consult a doctor in time.
If a pregnant woman detects abnormal fetal movement, she should go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause and get treatment under the doctor’s guidance, so as not to affect the physical health of the fetus.
