How to feel the fetus into the pelvis

Some children grow up to be as quiet as virgins, while some children grow up to be as agile as rabbits. So, when the fetus is in the mother's uterus, is it motionless? The answer is of course no. The fetus will also sway back and forth in the mother's womb. Many experienced mothers or others can judge the condition of the fetus by the fetal movement. So how do you feel when the fetal head enters the pelvis?

How can I feel the fetal head enter the pelvis by myself?

It takes a dedicated person, a specialist doctor or a midwife to feel out the fetal head entering the pelvis. It is not recommended for expectant parents to perform this operation on their own. Under normal circumstances, after the fetal head enters the pelvis, the fetal position will not change, which lays a good foundation for the subsequent successful delivery. However, pregnant women may experience frequent urination, urgency, constipation, cervical swelling, etc. Pregnant women do not need to worry, these are all normal. There is no need to worry if the pregnant woman's water has not broken, or if she has frequent uterine contractions, or if she has spotting during pregnancy.

For women who are pregnant for the first time, the time when the fetus's head enters the pelvis is generally around 36 weeks, which is the case for most first births. When the fetus's head is in the pelvis, the pregnant woman will feel abdominal tightness or occasional abdominal pain. These are all normal conditions for the upcoming birth. The baby in the belly is pushing the fetal head down to prepare for birth. However, there are also some pregnant women who do not enter the pelvis until they are about to give birth. If the doctor determines that the pregnant woman does not have cephalopelvic disproportion, the pregnant woman does not need to worry too much, because some first-time babies' heads enter the pelvis after the uterine contraction starts.

1. The fetal head entering the pelvis means that the pregnancy is about to end, and the baby has grown and is about to leave the pregnant mother. So will the baby's fetal movement decrease after entering the uterus? According to relevant gynecologists, the baby's fetal movement will gradually decrease after entering the uterus. However, when the fetus is short of oxygen in the mother's body, fetal movement may also decrease, so the cause of decreased fetal movement should be identified first.

2. The so-called fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterus that impacts the endometrium. After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, starting from the 5th month, the pregnant mother can obviously feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches out its hands, lifts its legs, and impacts the endometrium in the uterus. This is fetal movement. The baby's fetal movement is normal, indicating that the uterus-placenta functions well, and the oxygen transported to the fetus is sufficient. The fetus grows and develops healthily in the uterus and moves happily. Reduced fetal movement is often seen in weakened placental function and diffuse oxygen deficiency in the fetal uterine cavity, and is a key indicator of fetal distress.

Where does the baby usually kick after entering the calf?

Generally, when expectant mothers reach the late stage of pregnancy, most of them have already asked for leave in advance (wage earners) to give birth at home, because in the late stage of pregnancy, if pregnant women at this time travel or go on a long journey by car or plane, it is a relatively risky thing. Once a pregnant woman experiences symptoms such as fetal demise, spotting, amniotic fluid rupture, irregular uterine contractions, etc., she must decisively go to the hospital for delivery, as these manifestations may be signs that the baby is about to be born.

So, where does the baby's fetal movement prove that the baby has entered the pelvis? I believe this is something that many novice pregnant mothers want to know. In fact, it is not difficult to know whether the fetus has entered the pelvis. You can judge it by yourself according to the following 5 body rules. What are you waiting for? Let's learn together.

When the baby is shallowly inserted into the pelvis, the baby's head will move. Sometimes you will feel the baby arching in the area near the toes, and you can also feel the baby's fetal movement in other areas of the abdomen. After the baby is fully inserted into the plate, the baby's head cannot move anymore, and the movement is mainly done by the limbs, approximately in the area near the belly button.

Don't try to compare fetal movements with other pregnant women. Every fetus, like a newborn baby, has its own development trends and ways of moving. Some are more active, some are more quiet. Some fetuses' fetal movements are as regular as a timer, while others have no regularity at all.

The fetus will begin to move from about the 8th week, when the spine also begins to make tiny movements. The mother cannot feel the fetal movement at this time. Since the end of 16 weeks, the fully grown limbs will begin to move actively. Generally, the mother can feel the fetal movement at this time, but some people may still not know what it feels like. The baby's movements such as rolling and turning around can not only be felt but also seen.

As the fetus grows, fetal movements are most noticeable between 28 and 32 weeks. After 32 weeks, the fetus gradually occupies the space of the uterus, and its movement is significantly restricted. Despite the restrictions, the fetus will sometimes still deliver a powerful punch. When your baby's head hits the muscles of your pelvic floor, you'll suddenly feel like you've been hit hard.
