Fetal movement patterns and changes

Fetal movement is an exciting experience for most pregnant mothers. Fetal movement is a proof that a pregnant mother can feel that she is nurturing life before the baby is born. Fetal movement can be felt by primigravid women around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, and by transient women at 16-18 weeks, or even earlier. This is because, because the fetus is too small, the earliest fetal movement has a graphic description called “small fish spitting out bubbles”, often mistaken for stomach upset, indigestion, flatulence or hunger and so on and ignored, and the second time pregnant mothers-to-be 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 stomach, and if monitored by ultrasound, you can accurately see the fetus’s “punching and kicking” and “playing with a big knife” and other activities. What is the pattern of fetal movement in pregnancy 16 ~ 20 weeks, the fetus is small, the baby’s movement is not large, this period of fetal movement pregnant mothers feel like a small fish swimming or stirring up the feeling of wings, with the feeling of flatulence, hunger, some similar to the feeling of fetal movement at this time by the size of the uterus limitations, the position of the position of a relatively low, about the umbilical cord in the annex. 20~35 weeks of pregnancy, this period of the fetus relative to the uterus is not large, the uterus can provide the fetus to move more space, is the most intense period of fetal movement. Mothers also feel the baby rolling around inside, punching and kicking, etc., and even small raised hands or feet can be seen on the belly. In the near delivery period, some mothers feel that the fetal movement is reduced and worried, this is a normal situation, because near delivery, the baby gradually increase in size, the baby’s activity space is getting smaller and smaller, and the head of the fetus is falling, the fetus began to be fixed, so expectant mothers can be obvious in the whole abdomen to feel the fetal movement, 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 by themselves and find the fun of fetal movement.
