Is it normal to have no fetal movement at 17 weeks?

The cloakroom is an extremely painful thing, because there is a saying that is right: food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, clothing, housing, transportation, you have to work when you are born. Being a man is difficult, but being a woman is even more difficult. In ancient times, there were the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. Modern science and technology are relatively developed and concepts are profound, but the requirements for women are indeed getting higher and higher. They must be able to get pregnant, have children, earn money to support their families, and be able to fight against mistresses and control concubines. So how come there is still no fetal movement at 17 weeks of pregnancy?

I am 17 weeks pregnant and there is still no fetal movement.

Fetal movement is a criterion that can be used to determine whether a fetus is healthy and normal. The baby's fetal movement is within the normal range, the baby's ECG is normal, and the baby's growth and development is healthy and good. In fact, the fetal movement has always existed, but pregnant women cannot feel it. In the second trimester, the fetal movement can be felt. So why is there no fetal movement at 17 weeks of pregnancy?

Why is there no fetal movement at 17 weeks of pregnancy?

1. It is normal to have no fetal movement at 17 weeks of pregnancy. This should be related to the mother's number of pregnancies. If it is the first child, the fetal movement is usually later, usually around 18 to 20 weeks, because the mother's belly is tighter during the first pregnancy.

2. If you are a mother of two children, the baby's fetal movement will generally start earlier. Usually, you can feel the first fetal movement at 16 weeks. This is because after a pregnancy, the belly will be loose and the uterus will be elastic, so the baby can move in the space more easily and thus come earlier.

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 first feel the baby move between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. Because the baby is still small and lacks energy at this moment, the feeling of fetal movement is vague, as light as the flapping of a butterfly's wings. As the number of weeks of pregnancy increases, pregnant mothers will gradually feel that the fetus is becoming stronger and stronger, and the fetal movements are becoming more obvious and regular.

2. The feeling of fetal movement at 20-24 weeks of pregnancy

From the beginning of this period, the frequency of fetal movement will gradually increase. The second trimester of pregnancy is a period of very active fetal movement. The fetus continues to lift its legs and somersaults in the mother's belly, and the mother can feel that the power of the fetus's movement is getting stronger and stronger.

3. The feeling of fetal movement at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy

At this time, the pregnant mother may feel her abdomen jumping intermittently, which is the fetus hiccups. Now the amniotic sac of the pregnant mother is full of amniotic fluid, and the fetus can move freely in the uterus. In addition, the fetus can already hear external sounds at this time, so pregnant mothers may often feel that the fetus moves suddenly due to external sound stimulation.

Generally, starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, the fetus can develop a relatively regular rhythm of life, and he also has a sleep and wake cycle. When the fetus is awake, the pregnant mother will find that the baby's fetal movements are frequent and strong. When the fetus sleeps at night, the number of fetal movements decreases significantly, and even if the baby moves, the movements are small. Pregnant mothers should understand the regularity of fetal movements and count fetal movements every day starting from the 28th week.
