How to determine frequent fetal movement

To determine whether the fetal movement is frequent or not, we must first understand the normal frequency of fetal movement, learn to count the fetal movement, and then compare the actual fetal movement count with the normal frequency of fetal movement. After 28 weeks of gestation, the fetal movement is generally called a fetal movement when the fetal limbs or body moves continuously, and the normal fetal movement is not less than 3-5 times in one hour and more than 30-40 times in 12 hours. If the total number of fetal movements in 12 hours exceeds 50-60 times, the fetal movements will be considered frequent. The other is relative to the usual counting of fetal movements, each person has a different point in time every day, the number of fetal movements is also different, if you feel that a certain fetal movement and the same period of time recently compared to the number of fetal movements, consider the possibility of frequent fetal movements. It is recommended to go to the obstetrics department of the local hospital in time to rule out pathological factors such as cord winding, placenta abruption and intrauterine hypoxia; factors such as eating or external sound stimulation may also cause a brief increase in the frequency of fetal movement, which is normal and need not be overly nervous.
