How to properly count fetal movements

The correct way to count fetal movement is to touch the abdomen with the hand for one hour in the morning, middle of the day and evening every day, and count the self-sensed fetal movement. Fetal movement is an indicator of the safety of the fetus, and the mother’s self-counting of fetal movement can help her understand the condition of the fetus in the uterus, so that she can initially determine whether the fetus is suffering from hypoxia and so on. Usually, pregnant women can choose one hour in the morning, noon, evening of the day, and take the appropriate position, touch the abdomen with the hand to start counting fetal movement, each time to record the fetal movement for 30 to 60 minutes, and then calculate the rate of 12 hours of fetal movement can be. The normal number of fetal movements is about 30-40 times in 12 hours. Since the number of fetal movements is susceptible to changes in diet, maternal movement, and circadian rhythms, the value is not fixed. When the fetal movement increases frequently, should be alert to the umbilical cord pressure, placental abruption, etc. caused by fetal acute hypoxia, and fetal movement significant decrease or stop need to be alert to the fetus in the uterus heavy asphyxia. It is recommended to learn the correct way of counting fetal movement during pregnancy, and when abnormal fetal movement occurs, you can consult a doctor for a fetal heart monitor, ultrasound examination, etc., in order to clarify whether the fetus is abnormal, and cooperate with the doctor to take treatment measures, etc., to prevent accidents from occurring.
