Frequent fetal movements after amniocentesis can be relieved by deep breathing, reducing abdominal stimulation, increased rest, or taking medication to inhibit contractions, such as dextroprogesterone, under the direction of your doctor.
Amniocentesis is an invasive test and can cause some stimulation to the fetus. Frequent fetal movements after amniocentesis are common and should not be a cause for concern. Usually, the purpose of reducing external stimulation can be achieved by resting in bed and reducing strenuous activities.

However, if frequent fetal movements cannot be relieved even after rest after amniocentesis, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly. Under doctor’s supervision, some medications such as dextroprogesterone should be taken to inhibit contractions, so as to minimize the occurrence of frequent fetal movements.
