Why can I feel fetal movement at 13 weeks?

For pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, what they are more interested in during pregnancy is the feeling of fetal movement. The baby's fetal movement can not only understand the growth and development of the fetus, but also enhance the relationship between mother and daughter. So, what does it feel like when your baby moves? Can I feel the baby moving at 13 weeks pregnant?

Can I feel the baby moving at 13 weeks pregnant?

For women who are pregnant for the first time, they are eager to know when the baby moves. They can accurately feel the life in the abdomen, which makes all pregnant women extremely excited. Do you know when the fetal movement begins? After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, from the 5th month, the pregnant mother can obviously feel the fetal movement. The fetus stretches its hands, lifts its legs, and impacts the endometrium in the uterus. This is the fetal movement. The frequency and speed of the baby's fetal movement express the well-being of the fetus. Normal and obvious fetal movement is at least 3-5 times an hour. The number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30 to 40 times.

Counting method: Count for 1 hour at fixed time in the morning, noon and evening every day, more than 3 times per hour, which indicates that the fetus is in good condition. You can also multiply the sum of the number of fetal movements in the morning, noon, and evening by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. If the fetal movement reaches more than 30 times in 12 hours, it means the fetus is in good condition. If it is less than 20 times, it means there is something wrong with the fetus. If the fetal movement is less than 10 times, it indicates that the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia.

When counting fetal movements, you should lie flat or sit up, concentrate your mind, and use some delicate objects (such as coins or buttons, etc.) as marks or record them on paper to avoid overlooking them. If the fetal movement continues or you feel several fetal movements at the same time, it is only counted once. You have to wait until the fetal movement stops completely before counting again. If the fetus continues to move for a long time, you should also be alert. The height and frequency of fetal movement vary greatly from person to person, and some may reach more than 100 times in 12 hours. After counting for a period of time, the pregnant woman will get a constant value, and then she can use this as a standard to conduct self-detection of the well-being of the fetus.

What does it feel like when your baby moves?

1. The feeling of the first fetal movement: If this is your first pregnancy, you may feel the baby's fetal movement for the first time around 18 to 20 weeks. At first, the baby's fetal movement is faint, like a butterfly flapping its wings. Gradually, you will feel the baby's fetal movements becoming stronger and stronger.

2. The feeling of fetal movement from 20 to 24 weeks: During these weeks, the baby's fetal movement will become more and more frequent. He's too busy lifting his legs and doing somersaults in your belly!

3. The feeling of fetal movement at 24 to 28 weeks: Your baby may have started to hiccup, so you may sometimes feel your abdomen jumping up and down. From now on, you may notice that your baby will jump in the womb when there is a sudden noise outside. Generally, starting from the 28th week, the baby's life rhythm becomes more obvious.
