When it comes to fetal movement, most mothers think it’s simple, it’s just fetal activity, the baby is moving every day, there should be no problem. What exactly is fetal movement, why do we need to count fetal movement, and when is there any abnormality in fetal movement? In fact, in the clinical work often encountered and fetal movement-related problems, there have been related painful lessons, so it is necessary to put this common old topic again in detail. The fetal movement reflects whether the fetus is in good condition in the uterus. If the fetus is moving well, we believe that he/she is not hypoxic at present and is generally in good condition. This method of counting fetal movement is easy and economical, the fetus exists in the mother’s womb, the mother can sense the fetal activity at any time, without any expense she can know the baby’s condition and communicate with the baby at any time, so this method is chosen as a daily rough test for the mother. Especially when the ultrasound indicates that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, many mothers ask the physician how to determine whether the cord is continuously wrapped around the neck or whether it is tightly wound, and the doctor cannot see the condition of the cord, but it is important to understand that wrapped around the neck is not equal to fetal oxygen deficiency, and what effect does the cord loosely hitching have on the fetus, just like a fetus with a necklace, but if the cord is tightened and causes a threat, then the fetus will struggle and the fetal movement will change. So we should still count the fetal movements instead of repeatedly doing ultrasound to determine if the cord is wrapped around the neck. The fetal movement is not the most accurate method, it is a rough measurement, but it is a warning line. 2, some mothers will ask, the doctor is using Doppler to listen to the fetal heart during the maternity checkup, now the conditions are good, I also buy a Doppler, listen to the fetal heart every day, is it not necessary to count the fetal movement? The first line of defense is to determine whether the fetus has any abnormalities in the womb, which is the alert line for the mother to determine whether the fetus has abnormalities. You can think about it, you can’t hear the fetal heart at home, so how much more likely is it that the doctor can hear it? If the fetus is screened for abnormalities by the presence or absence of a fetal heart, time is lost for resuscitation. There was a mother who felt a decrease in fetal movement at home and did not go to the hospital, but listened at home with a Doppler, and her child’s fetal heart was fine, so she thought there should be no problem. The newborn was severely asphyxiated, and the family later gave up resuscitation …… 3, how to count fetal movement People pay attention to counting fetal movement, but a new problem has arisen, the current information is so developed, we get from a variety of different ways to count the fetal movement of many methods, sometimes often troubled, how each doctor’s statement is not quite the same, in the end how to count fetal movement The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of how to count the fetal movements.
