Fetal movement decreases at 38 weeks, is labor approaching?

38 weeks of pregnancy fetal movement reduction may be almost born, but does not exclude fetal hypoxia, according to the frequency and intensity of fetal movement reduction, analysis of the specific situation: 1, a slight reduction in fetal movement: in 38 weeks of pregnancy, has entered the state of full-term, at this time, the fetal head descending into the pelvis, part of the pelvis has been half into the pelvis or completely into the pelvis, the fetus is restricted activity, and then the fetal movement is reduced or the amplitude of the fetal movements is smaller, which is normal! This is a normal physiological response, is the manifestation of fast birth, in no other abnormal symptoms, do not need to carry out special intervention; 2, a substantial reduction in fetal movement: when the number of fetal movements per hour is less than 3 times, or more than 1/3 less than the plain fetal movement, or even the disappearance of fetal movement, this situation suggests that there may be intrauterine hypoxia, the need to immediately do fetal heart rate monitoring, assessment of the situation of the baby in the uterine cavity, if the fetal heart rate is less than 110/minute or more than 160/minute, the fetal heart rate is less than 110/minute or more than 160/minute, the fetal heart rate is less than 110/minute, or more than 160/minute. If the fetal heart rate is less than 110/min or more than 160/min and the fetal heart rate variability is poor, then fetal hypoxia is highly suspected, and according to the severity of hypoxia, it is necessary to choose to deliver the baby vaginally as soon as possible or to deliver the baby by cesarean section in time, so as to avoid intrauterine foetal death. In addition, it is recommended that pregnant women at 38 weeks of gestation learn to count the fetal movements by themselves. Normal fetal movements are 3-5 times per hour, each movement is within 5 minutes, and there are at least 30 movements in 12 hours; when there is a decrease in fetal movements, the baby should be evaluated in the hospital in a timely manner in order to avoid the occurrence of adverse events.
