Fetal movement in late pregnancy is normal when the amplitude is small and the fetal movement count is normal, but it is abnormal when the fetal movement count decreases.
Fetal movement refers to the fetal body movement, pregnant women are mostly conscious of fetal movement at about 16-20 weeks of gestation, and after 28 weeks of gestation, fetal movement count, normal for ≥ 10 times / 2 hours. Late in pregnancy as the fetus increases and the uterine cavity space is relatively reduced, so there may be a decrease in the amplitude of fetal movement phenomenon, when the fetal movement count is normal, generally normal, you can closely monitor the fetal heart.
However, when the amplitude of fetal movement decreases in late pregnancy, and the fetal movement count decreases or disappears, it is not normal, you need to go to the hospital in time, and fetal heart rate monitoring, ultrasound, biophysical scoring, etc., to assess the fetal situation, and to give oxygen, change the position and rehydration and other corrective methods, and when there is no improvement to be highly suspected of fetal distress, need to terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
