Frequent fetal movements at 38 weeks of pregnancy means I am about to give birth

As the weeks of pregnancy progress, pregnant mothers can feel obvious fetal movements when they reach the fifth month. After entering the late pregnancy, the number of fetal movements will be much more frequent. Recently, a pregnant mother who is in the 38th week of pregnancy found that the fetal movements are more frequent at night. She felt a little worried. Because she is close to delivery, she wants to know, does frequent fetal movements at night in the 38th week of pregnancy mean that she is about to give birth?

If the fetus moves frequently at 38 weeks of pregnancy, does that mean the baby is coming soon?

Generally, there will be three major signs of delivery: spotting, uterine contractions and amniotic fluid rupture. If these three signs do not appear, it means that delivery is not going to happen. The frequent fetal movements at night during the 38th week of pregnancy are mainly caused by physiological factors. For example, after the pregnant mother has dinner, the blood sugar level in the body will increase, allowing the fetus to absorb sufficient nutrients and be stronger, so the fetal movement will be more intense.

Pregnant mothers will take a bath before going to bed at night. Under the shower of warm water, the blood circulation rate of pregnant mothers will be accelerated and become smoother, which can not only relieve fatigue, but also relieve stress of the body. This happy mood will also be transmitted to the fetus, causing the fetus to move more frequently. In addition, the fetus's activities at night are relatively active, so the baby's fetal movements will also be more frequent, and it does not mean that the birth is imminent.

However, pregnant mothers should also pay attention that not all frequent fetal movements are normal. If the number of fetal movements at night is more frequent than in the past, it should be taken seriously. This may mean that the fetus is lacking oxygen or is affected by some diseases. At this time, pregnant mothers should go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible so that the doctor can take effective treatment according to the situation in time. If the situation is more serious, it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible and start delivery.
