Picture of fetus in mother's belly

During the ten months of pregnancy, does the baby always sleep in the mother's belly? Of course not necessarily. The fetus is very smart. Apart from sleeping most of the time, they have a variety of activities at other times. In the eyes of expectant mothers, every movement or change of the fetus is so fresh and incredible. Carefully feeling these movements and reactions of the fetus is the happiest memory for every mother in the creative process.

1. Swim in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women

When the fetus is 6 weeks old, the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman is his deep ocean. He is able to move around in his mother's womb. Because the volume is still small, there is no specific and purposeful swinging, and there is no posture to talk about. It is free and unrestrained, like a leisurely little seahorse.

2. Exercise your muscles and bones

By the second trimester, your baby is more flexible and can move his arms and legs and bend his fingers and toes. In the late stages of the pregnancy, he would frequently flip over and kick, wave and stretch his hands, and touch his face every now and then.

3. Hiccup and practice breathing

In the later stages of pregnancy, the fetus will continue to swallow the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman in the belly, causing hiccups, which is used to exercise the lungs to inhale. The main manifestation is a beating sound, which is very similar to the heartbeat, but different from the fetal movement, hiccups are very regular and careful mothers can feel it.

4. Play with the fetal umbilical cord easily

Apart from the baby's own various movements, the umbilical cord should be the baby's only "toy". When the fetus is 17 weeks old, the baby will circle around the umbilical cord or play with it. Sometimes the fetus is energetic and plays more and more happily, which can easily cause the risk of the umbilical cord around the neck.

5. Pee quietly

The fetus continues to swallow the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman, and the kidneys are constantly busy, which will cause urine. Therefore, the fetus will also urinate in the mother's belly. Of course, urine can only be discharged into the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman, and then swallowed by the body, so that the amount of amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman reaches a stable balance.

6. Sucking your fingers to relieve boredom

When the fetus is about 20 weeks old, it can suck its fingers very skillfully. Sucking fingers is an instinctive reaction of the fetus. It not only prepares the baby for the first meal after birth, but also helps him discover interesting things on the body, such as the feel of the skin and the size of the thumb.

7. See how big the world is

The fetus' eyes have begun to develop in the second month of pregnancy, and by the fourth month they are very sensitive to light. If there is light shining directly into the mother's belly, the fetus will not only open its eyes, but also turn its face to the bright direction. Therefore, when the temperature is better, expectant mothers can take more walks outside to let the baby "see" how big the world is.

8. Listen to the noise outside

When the fetus is 24 weeks old, it can already distinguish the different sounds from the outside and the inside of the mother's body, so expectant mothers should talk to the baby as much as possible and try to pat the abdomen. It would be even better if you can play some pleasant music.

9. Embezzling the Mother’s Chassis

As the fetus grows bigger, its base begins to develop in the mother's belly, squeezing the mother's organs out of the way, the intestines move to the upper abdomen, and the stomach base becomes smaller. This is why many pregnant women experience stomach discomfort.
