Why are fetal movements more obvious when lying flat?

Women will experience fetal movement after a certain month of pregnancy. The daily lifestyle of pregnant women is closely related to the development of the fetus. Different sleeping positions also have a certain impact on the fetus. Some pregnant women like to sleep lying flat, and some pregnant women like to sleep on their sides. Pregnant women will experience frequent fetal movement when lying flat. So what is the reason for frequent fetal movement when lying flat?

To give a very simple example, if it is a bag of water, it will fill up all around after being placed. The principle of the uterus is the same as that of water. When the pregnant woman lies flat, the amniotic fluid in the uterus will also fill up all around. The baby in the belly can clearly feel this change, so it will stretch its arms and legs, which is a very normal phenomenon. However, pregnant women are advised not to lie flat for a long time, as it is very bad for the health of the baby. It is best to lie on your side.

According to medical information, pregnant women must regularly record fetal movements with a fetal movement monitor from the 28th week of pregnancy until delivery. The best time is recommended to be 8-9 am, 1-2 pm, and 8-9 pm every day. Count the fetal movements once, each time for one hour, and multiply the three counts by 4 respectively, and then the sum is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours.

If it is not convenient for you to count three times a day, you can choose to count once a day for one hour before going to bed, but the daily detection time should be fixed, and then write down the data every day and draw a trend chart. In this way, you can better observe the changes in the baby's fetal movement and grasp the health of the fetus in time. When counting the baby's fetal movement, pregnant women should sleep on their side, and the environment should be quiet, the mind should be relatively concentrated, and the emotional pressure should be very calm, so that the measured data can be more accurate.

Pregnant women must improve their understanding and awareness of the fetal condition during pregnancy. Fetal movement is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy, which will vary with the increase in fetal weeks and the lifestyle of the pregnant woman. In order to better ensure the normal development of the fetus, pregnant women must have proper sleep habits.
