Fetal movement can be felt at around 5 months of gestation, but there are individual differences.
Fetal movement refers to the physical activity of the fetus, and most pregnant women can feel fetal movement at about 5 months of pregnancy, while most pregnant women feel fetal movement at about 4 months of pregnancy, which is also normal. Fetal movement will gradually strengthen with the increase of pregnancy weeks, and will reach its peak at about 32 weeks of pregnancy. Fetal movements are more active at night and in the afternoon and disappear during the sleep cycle.
Fetal movement count is usually performed at about 28 weeks of gestation to self-evaluate the intrauterine state of the fetus, and the normal is ≥10 times/2 hours. When the fetal movement count is less than 10 times in 2 hours or the total number of fetal movements decreases by 50%, it is necessary to be alerted to the possibility of fetal hypoxia, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time, and terminate the pregnancy at an appropriate time after a full assessment by a physician to ensure the safety of the mother and baby.
