After a brief period of intense fetal movement, the fetal movement suddenly stops, which may represent severe fetal hypoxia. Pregnant women should go to the hospital immediately. Doctors recommend that pregnant mothers learn to self-test fetal movements and analyze their children\’s health. This method is more convenient and effective than listening to the fetal heart rate with a fetal heart rate stethoscope.
The fetus is most active between 8pm and 11pm
Self-detection of fetal movement is simple but very effective. Every pregnant woman should learn to calculate it. Wang Caixia pointed out that starting from the 20th week of pregnancy, pregnant women can clearly feel the fetus moving, which is \”fetal movement\”.
The fetus is happy and stretching freely in the womb. There are three main types of exercise: the first is a rotational movement of the trunk left and right, which usually lasts for 330 seconds. Pregnant women can feel the rolling and pulling of the fetus; the second is punching, kicking and kicking body movements, which lasts for 115 seconds. Pregnant women can Feel the twitching and beating of the fetus; the third type is chest wall movement, such as hiccups, which usually last within one second. Pregnant women can feel the fetus shaking and squirming.
If the fetus is inactive all day, he also needs to sleep. Wang Caixia said that due to the physiological sleep cycle, fetal movements are relatively uniform between 8 and 12 o\’clock every morning, and are smallest between 2 and 3 o\’clock in the afternoon, because the baby is in the sleep period. It increases significantly from 8 o\’clock to the maximum -11 o\’clock, and the baby is relatively stable. positive. In addition, babies with different temperaments also behave differently in terms of fetal movements. Quiet babies have fewer and more stable fetal movements, while active babies have larger and more frequent fetal movements.
In addition, Wang Caixia also emphasized that maternal emotional instability can lead to abnormal fetal movements. Therefore, pregnant women who insist on working should listen to more soft music, move slowly, pay attention to relieve stress, vent their emotions reasonably, and avoid being impatient and emotional.
Two ways to calculate fetal movements
After understanding the pattern of fetal movement, let\’s learn about the method of fetal movement self-examination. There are two simple methods for self-testing fetal movement, and expectant mothers can learn from them.
Write straight words and record the number of fetal movements every day
Choose a time every morning and start recording on time. Every time you feel fetal movement, write a picture until you write three correct characters, that is, you can stop recording after 15 fetal movements. Wang Caixia explained that under normal circumstances, the number of fetal movements is 15 times every 12 hours. If the number of fetal movements has not reached 15 times within 12 hours, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately.
Calculate the number of fetal movements within a fixed period of time
Expectant mothers measure fetal movements for 3 hours a day, recording them at fixed times in the morning, noon, and evening, such as 8-9 a.m., 12 noon-1 p.m., and 8-9 p.m. Add the total number of fetal movements measured and multiply by 4.
If the data reaches more than 30 times, it means that the fetus is in good condition; if it is less than 20 times, it means that the fetus is abnormal and special attention should be paid.
