Frequent fetal movements after pelvic entry

Pregnancy makes people feel very relieved and also in a happy stage. In addition to going through the pregnancy period, they will also be troubled by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, long-term physical fatigue, and feeling like they want to sleep all the time. In addition, many people will have frequent fetal movements after the fetus enters the pelvis in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Generally, fetal movement is a basis for detecting the baby's physical health. Is frequent fetal movement after the fetus enters the pelvis normal?

Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements after entering the pelvis?

Generally speaking, normal fetal movements begin when the fetus is 5 months old, so there will be no fetal movements in the 4th month of pregnancy. Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal.

The clinical significance of fetal movement is that observing fetal movement in early pregnancy is helpful in estimating the prognosis of pregnancy. Ultrasound is also more sensitive in observing fetal movements in the middle and late stages. Sometimes smaller fetal movements are not felt by the pregnant woman but can be seen during ultrasound.

Excluding factors with large individual differences, normal obvious fetal movements are generally no less than 3 to 5 times in 1 hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30 to 40 times. The number of fetal movements is not constant. During the 28th to 38th week of pregnancy, the fetal movement is active, and then it weakens slightly until delivery.

The fetus enters the pelvis between the 36th week of pregnancy and the onset of labor pains. Generally, the first baby may enter the pelvis earlier. Although the fetus has entered the pelvis, it does not mean that labor pains will occur immediately. Sometimes it may take several weeks before labor pains occur. Sometimes, even if the baby has not entered the pelvis, there is no need to worry, because the entry into the pelvis may be completed after the labor pain. If it is the second child, the fetus usually enters the pelvis before labor pains begin. Therefore, there are still many fetal movements after entering the pelvis.
