What is the fetal movement at 26 weeks of pregnancy?

After seventeen or eighteen weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women can clearly feel the baby's fetal movement in their belly. At 26 weeks, it is already the second trimester of pregnancy, that is, six and a half months of pregnancy. At this time, the baby's fetal movements are already more prominent and the strength has become very strong. Many people don't know what fetal movement at 26 weeks feels like. This article will introduce what it feels like to feel the baby's fetal movements at 26 weeks.

How does the baby's fetal movement feel at 26 weeks?

The sensations of fetal movement are different at each stage, in early pregnancy, mid pregnancy, and late pregnancy. Generally, fetal movement occurs at 8 weeks of pregnancy. The fetus is small and in the amniotic fluid of the uterus. The force of movement and floating is not strong, so it is not easy for pregnant mothers to detect. Around 16 to 18 weeks of pregnancy, you can begin to feel the fetal movement. First-time mothers may mistake it for gastrointestinal movement, or feel like a fish spitting bubbles, or like the belly of a fry moving. In the late pregnancy, around 20 to 30 weeks, the baby's movements are more obvious. You can see the baby's body bulging above the belly, feel his hands or feet sliding in the belly, and even feel the beating. Therefore, the feeling of fetal movement is different in each stage. It is related to the different strength and method of movement of the fetus.

The feeling of fetal movement in late pregnancy

1. The feeling of fetal movement at 32 to 33 weeks. At this time, the fetal movement will reach its peak. As the baby grows bigger and stronger, from today on, the frequency of fetal movements continues to increase, and the ways of fetal movements become more and more diverse.

2. The feeling of fetal movement at 36 weeks. At this point, the fetus may have curled up with its head down, in the same position as when it was first born. If this is the first time a pregnant woman has a baby, the muscles in her uterus and abdomen will be tighter, and they can help the baby maintain this position. The fetal movements that pregnant women can feel are mainly the fetus poking the pregnant woman's abdomen with its arms and calves. Sometimes, the fetus may also kick the pregnant woman's ribs and cause pain. If it is a second pregnancy, the abdominal muscles of the pregnant woman may be relaxed and not as strong and firm. Therefore, the fetus may continue to change its posture and position, and may even remain unchanged until the delivery date.

3. The feeling of fetal movement at 36 to 40 weeks. As the baby grows older, the big flip-flop movements become less frequent. If the fetus is sucking its thumb and suddenly finds that it "can't find" its thumb, its little head will turn from side to side, trying to find its thumb. At this time, pregnant women will feel the rapid and sudden fetal movement of the fetus. During the last two weeks of pregnancy, your baby's movements may slow down and your baby's growth rate may slow down slightly. These are all normal.
