Is fetal movement obvious at 15 weeks of pregnancy?

During the ten months of pregnancy, fetal movement is a normal phenomenon. Whether the early and late fetal movement is obvious is different for each person. So, at how many weeks of pregnancy will the first fetal movement occur? Does the frequency of fetal movement have anything to do with the baby's health? Does it have anything to do with the pregnant woman herself? What should we pay attention to in daily life? I think everyone must want to know the question of whether the fetal movement is obvious at 15 weeks of pregnancy. Let’s take a look at the following content to find out.

Generally speaking, the embryo and fetal heart rate fluctuations can be seen in the 8th week of pregnancy, the yolk sac can be seen in the 6th-7th week of pregnancy, and fetal movement can be seen in the 18th-20th week of pregnancy. Fetal movement is generally 3-5 times per hour, which is normal. The normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats/minute... If the fetal heart rate is lower than 120 or higher than 160 or the fetal movement is frequent, it may be that the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia or asphyxia.

The number of fetal movements is related to the pregnant woman's own spirit, emotions, medications, the amount of amniotic fluid, etc. If you find that there are too few or too many fetal movements, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Generally, pregnant women can feel fetal movements at 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, which reaches a peak at 28 to 32 weeks of pregnancy and gradually decreases after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Fetal movement is a normal physiological activity of the fetus and pregnant women can feel it at 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. The fetal movement varies for different fetuses. Generally, the movements of a quiet fetus are gentler and less frequent, while the movements of an excited fetus are larger and more frequent.

If a originally active fetus suddenly becomes quiet, or a originally quiet fetus suddenly becomes restless, and the fetal movement is less than 10 times/12 hours or more than 40 times/12 hours, there is a possibility of fetal intrauterine hypoxia. This is because the fetus is trying to reduce oxygen consumption or because hypoxia affects the central nervous system. Pregnant women can calculate fetal movements while sitting or lying down. They should count for one hour at a fixed time in the morning, noon and evening. The total number of fetal movements in 12 hours should be added up and multiplied by 4.

Are fetal movements obvious at 15 weeks of pregnancy? We already know the answer to this question from the article above. I hope that all expectant mothers can pay attention to this issue, take good care of themselves in daily life, pay attention to their physical health and keep a happy mood during pregnancy. As long as you do this, I believe you will be able to give birth to a healthy baby.
