The fact is that many mothers have to work every day and do not have enough time to count and record; on the other hand, counting fetal movement is a kind of rough measurement, its advantage is easy and economical. The advantage of counting fetal movement is that it is easy and economical, and the purpose of counting fetal movement is only to determine whether or not to go to the hospital, making it complicated will lose its practicality and the compliance of pregnant mothers, so I generally recommend the following methods to count fetal movement: Step 1: first pay attention to the regularity of fetal movement, when the fetus loves to move and when it does not love to move every day. As a mother, even if you do not have too much time to count fetal movement, but you probably have a number of patterns of fetal activity, for example, when eating, lying on its side, moving in the evening, etc., the mother can not always sense the baby’s activities, but these general patterns must be noted, if the baby is moving every day according to the regular activity, you can not count how many times, but if there is a change in the pattern, or if the baby is not moving when it should be. The time to move not to move, or should not move when the movement of excessive, should be noted. Step 2: If you have time, you can pick up your child’s love to move when the morning, afternoon and evening count 1 hour, more than 5 times per hour can be. Some mothers ask, that in the end how many times per hour should move is normal, or how and other people’s children move differently? The fetal movement is the activity of the fetus in the womb, which is perceived through the mother’s abdominal wall, and is related to the fetal position, strength, thickness of the mother’s abdominal wall, sensitivity, etc. Therefore, there is a big difference between each fetus, so there is no need to compare them with each other. As long as the fetal movement is regular, >5 times per hour, it is not necessary to count for an hour. The fetus moves continuously once. 4.How to deal with abnormal fetal movement Abnormal fetal movement includes too much fetal movement and too little fetal movement. First of all, too much fetal movement, generally refers to the fetal movement on the original basis increased by 60% or doubled called more, the common problem is that we count and counted messy, let alone no time to count. The fetal movement and fetal movement are both reflective of whether the fetus is hypoxic in the uterus, if indeed there is hypoxia, then with the development of hypoxia, fetal movement will gradually become less, because the fetal movement is not very good counting, there is some difficulty in judging, so it is better to determine whether the fetal movement is reduced more practicable. If you feel that the movement is less, just perceiving less is not enough. If you feel that the fetal movement is less, you must really count it and see how many times it moves per hour. At the same time, if the fetal movement is not obvious, you can stimulate the fetus by gently patting him, or eating, or changing the position and other actions, if you do these still do not move, less than 3 times/h, followed by another hour of counting, still less than 3 times, then you need to go to the hospital immediately to see the emergency room, so that the doctor to determine the condition of the fetus, regardless of the morning or evening, as long as it is determined that the fetal movement <3 times/h, you must go to the hospital, otherwise the loss of may be time to save your life.
