For most pregnant mothers, fetal movement is an exciting experience. It is a proof that the mother can feel her baby is being born before it is born. Usually, a first-time mother will feel the fetal movement around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, and a woman in labor will feel it at 16-18 weeks, or even earlier. This is because, because the fetus is so small, the earliest fetal movement has a graphic description called “small fish spitting bubbles”, often mistaken for stomach discomfort, indigestion, flatulence or hunger and ignored, while the mother-to-be of the second pregnancy will be more aware of this feeling and can confirm the fetal movement earlier. What is fetal movement? It is the movement of the baby in the belly, and if monitored by ultrasound, you can accurately see the fetus “kicking and punching” and “playing with the knife” and other activities. What is the pattern of fetal movement? In 16-20 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is small and the baby does not move much, the fetal movement in this period is like the feeling of a small fish swimming or stirring its wings, similar to the feeling of flatulence and hunger, the position of the fetal movement at this time is limited by the size of the uterus, the position is relatively low, about the umbilical cord. During 20~35 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is not big compared to the uterus, and the uterus can provide more space for the fetus to move, so it is the most intense period of fetal movement. The mother also feels the baby rolling around inside, punching and kicking, etc. She can even see small raised hands or feet on her belly. This is a normal situation, because the baby is getting bigger and bigger, the baby has less and less space to move, and the fetal head is dropping, the fetus starts to be fixed, so the pregnant mother can feel the fetal movement obviously in the whole abdomen, and the number of fetal movement is not as frequent as before. According to the above pattern of fetal movement, pregnant mothers can feel it on their own and find the fun of fetal movement.
