Is it normal for fetal movement to decrease in late pregnancy?

Decreased fetal movement in late pregnancy needs to be taken seriously. Generally 28-38 weeks of pregnancy in the active period of fetal movement, about 36 weeks of pregnancy, fetal movement will be slightly reduced until delivery. Fetal movement in late pregnancy is basically in the vicinity of the navel. This is due to the fact that most of the fetus is head-down in the pelvis, and almost all of the limbs and body are in the vicinity of the navel, and the range of fetal movement is also in this area. In late pregnancy, fetal movements become less regular. In the first period of fetal movement is still more frequent, at this time it is less obvious. However, everyone’s situation is different, if the relevant examination results do not appear special circumstances, then do not worry too much. Daily testing of fetal movement can be done once in the morning, once in the middle of the day and once in the evening, one hour at a time, and if the fetal movement is not less than three times within one hour, it is not a big problem. If the fetal movement is less than three times, you can count for another hour. If there is any abnormality, you need to consult a doctor in time.
