Fetal movement on both sides may be caused by an irregular fetal position in mid-pregnancy with free movement of the fetus or a transverse fetal position in late pregnancy.
Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus’s limbs, and most pregnant women can consciously feel the movement of the fetus at about 20 weeks of pregnancy. In the mid-pregnancy due to the fetal position is not fixed, fetal activity space is relatively large, can be free to move and cause pregnant women on both sides of the abdominal movement. However, when both sides of the abdomen move after the 32nd week of pregnancy, it is mostly due to the transverse position of the fetus, and you can feel both sides moving when the fetus is moving.
In the 32nd week of pregnancy due to the relative reduction of fetal activity space, most pregnant women fetal position has been fixed. When the obstetric examination suggests that the transverse position can be corrected under the guidance of the doctor through the knee-chest position, moxibustion acupuncture points and other methods to correct the fetal position, but when the review is not corrected, if necessary, by a professional doctor through the external inversion to help correct the fetal position, and the need to closely monitor the fetal heart and fetal movement changes.
