Does a child with cerebral palsy move in the stomach?

Children with cerebral palsy move inside the mother’s tummy just like normal children, only that the frequency and speed of movement may be different due to lack of oxygen in the womb or intrauterine asphyxia, so parents should have regular maternity checkups, but the diagnosis of cerebral palsy cannot be confirmed on this basis. Generally, at 18-20 weeks of gestation, the mother will feel the child stirring and kicking inside her belly. If the child is not moving after that time, parents should go to the hospital for monitoring of fetal heartbeat, etc. In addition, the mother’s activity during pregnancy has an effect on the fetus’ movement. It is recommended that the mother should move frequently during pregnancy, and as the mother moves, the fetus’ activity will also change.
