Why do some people have delayed fetal movement?

Fetal movement will only occur when the baby in the belly develops to a certain extent. Fetal movement also indicates the baby's development status to a certain extent, and is also a good proof of the interaction between the baby and the parents. Therefore, most parents are looking forward to the baby's fetal movement. However, the time of fetal movement varies from baby to baby. So why do some babies have later fetal movement?

The timing of fetal movement varies from person to person. As long as the frequency of fetal movement is normal and regular, there is no problem.

The time of fetal movement is not uniform. Although most mothers feel fetal movement around the fifth month of pregnancy, some mothers feel it as early as the fourth month of pregnancy, while some mothers do not feel it until the sixth month of pregnancy. The time it takes to feel fetal movement varies from person to person and from one's physical condition to another. Of course, it also depends on one's own life experience and sensitivity.

There are many factors that affect fetal movement, such as the thickness of the pregnant woman's abdominal wall, the amount of amniotic fluid, the pregnant woman's sensitivity and experience, etc. Every expectant mother has a different physical condition, so her perception of fetal movement will also be different. For example, people with thick abdominal walls will feel a little slower and will feel fetal movement a little later. Expectant mothers with more amniotic fluid will be slower to feel the baby's movement.

Causes of frequent fetal movements at night

1. Different levels of perception

One reason is that pregnant mothers may feel it more obviously at night and feel that the baby moves more at night. This is because during the day we are busy with various things and the surrounding environment is noisy, so the feeling of fetal movement may not be so obvious. But at night, when the surrounding environment is relatively quiet, the baby's movements will be more obvious, so you will feel that the baby moves more at night.

2. Adequate nutrition

If pregnant women often feel that their babies move more at night during pregnancy, it may be closely related to their diet. If the body absorbs enough nutrients after dinner, the baby will also absorb the corresponding nutrients at this time. At this time, the baby absorbs more nutrients, which naturally increases its activity, making fetal movements more frequent.

3. Related to the work and rest habits of pregnant women

If a pregnant woman often stays up late or has an irregular schedule during pregnancy, it is very easy to cause fetal movement at night. For example, if she does not fall asleep at night when she should, but plays with her mobile phone or watches TV series, the baby's schedule will be disrupted, and it will be difficult to rest at night, so the baby will keep moving.
