Frequent foetal movements can be caused by a variety of reasons. In physiological situations, frequent foetal movements can occur when the foetus has a more active personality and is stimulated by the external environment (e.g. music). In addition, if the pregnant woman becomes sensitive to fetal activity in a quiet environment, she may also feel frequent fetal movements.
In addition, in pathological cases, the early stages of acute fetal asphyxia can be characterised by frequent foetal movements. In this case, after frequent fetal movements, subsequent fetal movements decrease or even disappear and early medical attention should be sought.
