How many months does the second baby usually have fetal movement?

The so-called fetal movement actually refers to the movements of each baby in the mother's belly. It is also a manifestation of the fetus's own vitality. Generally, expectant mothers can judge the health of their children by the usual fetal movements of the fetus. Since the country responded to the second child policy, many women have begun to have a second baby. Some pregnant mothers may feel that there is no problem with their first child, so they will ignore some things during the second pregnancy, such as how many months the second child usually has fetal movements.

Second fetal movement time

For most pregnant women, fetal movement is an exciting feeling, which makes them feel that life has been created in their belly. If it is the first baby, you will immediately notice the fetal movement around 18-20 weeks, and if it is the second baby, you may feel the fetal movement at 16-18 weeks or even earlier.

How can there be fetal movement?

As the fetus grows slowly, it will bend and stretch its limbs. These movements can help the fetus' muscles grow properly. The fetus will start to exercise from about the 8th week, and the spine will also begin to make tiny movements. The mother cannot feel the fetal movement at this time. From the end of 16 weeks, the fully grown limbs will begin to move actively. Usually the mother can feel the fetal movement at this time. As the fetus grows, the fetus will become more obvious, and in the later stage you can even see the fetus's feet on the belly.

Generally speaking, the second child will start to have fetal movements earlier than the first child. This is mainly because the fetal movements of the first child in the morning are usually ignored, or mistakenly thought to be abdominal sounds due to other reasons. When the second child has experience, the fetal movements of this little life will be discovered as soon as they start, and they will no longer be regarded as the humping of hunger.

What to do if fetal movement is abnormal

1. Pregnant mothers should record the baby's fetal movements anytime and anywhere. Whether the baby's fetal movement is abnormal or not varies from person to person. Therefore, pregnant mothers must be careful and write down the baby's fetal movement to facilitate regular checking and find any abnormal problems.

2. Do not neglect abnormal phenomena. Some pregnant mothers are more careful. When they find different conditions, they will go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the fetus due to abnormal conditions, which will eventually cause adverse effects.

3. The baby's fetal movement suddenly accelerates. If the fetal movement suddenly accelerates, it can be judged that the pregnant mother may have suffered a strong impact. This kind of impact can have a great impact on the child, so you should seek medical attention immediately.

4. A decrease in fetal movement is also abnormal. As the pregnancy progresses, the fetal movements should become more and more frequent. Therefore, when the fetal movements become abnormal and gradually decrease, it may be caused by the mother having fever, flu or other diseases, and she should seek medical attention in time.

5. If the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, abnormal fetal movement will occur. If the umbilical cord of the fetus is wrapped around the neck or the body, there will be abnormal fetal movement, usually rapid fetal movement at first, and then suddenly stop. Pregnant mothers must pay attention.

6. The baby's fetal movement suddenly increases and then stops. If such symptoms occur, pregnant mothers must be careful, as it may be caused by early embryo separation. The fetus will accelerate fetal movement due to lack of oxygen, and then stop quickly.

7. Pregnant mothers should maintain a good mood. No matter what the cause is, pregnant mothers must maintain a good attitude and seek treatment in time if there is any problem. Under normal circumstances, proper treatment and care will not affect the health of the fetus.

Generally speaking, abnormal fetal movement is a bit serious, but mothers don’t need to be too anxious, as it is not good for babies. We must learn to remain calm, rational and keep our emotions stable.
