Is the fetus moving frequently before labor?

For many pregnant mothers, there are always many situations that worry them when they give birth for the first time. After all, it is the first time and they have no experience! As the pregnancy progresses, until a few days before delivery, the fetal movement will undergo a series of changes, which can be very serious. This situation can cause pregnant mothers to be unable to grasp the baby's condition. So does the initial pain in the fetal movement usually mean that the baby is about to be born?

When it is close to the due date, the fetus will have regular fetal movements. It takes an average of 2.7 hours a day for pregnant mothers to feel about 10 fetal movements. If you feel 10 fetal movements within 2 hours, you don't have to worry too much. Some fetuses move too frequently, while others move too slowly, which can put you at risk. The regular frequency of fetal movement can be determined through tests. Generally, the frequency of fetal movement is about 3-5 times per hour. If the frequency of fetal movement is abnormal after self-examination, then the pregnant mother should consider going to the hospital for examination. If during the delivery period, the pregnant woman noticeably feels frequent fetal movements, the fetus in her belly may be at risk of intrauterine hypoxia, which is also a sign that the pregnant woman is about to give birth. If there is periodic abdominal pain on the basis of frequent fetal movements, it means that the baby is eager to come out.

Another abnormal fetal movement is slow change. If the fetus grows rapidly in the late pregnancy, the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman decreases, which will make the space for the fetus to move relatively reduced, so the fetal movement will also be significantly reduced. Therefore, most of the situations are normal. However, if the frequency of fetal movement increases significantly or decreases by more than 50%, you should seek medical attention immediately.

If the pregnant mother has not observed the changes in the baby's fetal movements in a timely manner before, if you want to check the safety of the baby from today, we recommend that you pay attention to the baby's fetal movements immediately from today. You should insist on counting the baby's fetal movements three times a day, each time for one hour. It is enough if the baby's fetal movements exceed three times in one hour.

Pregnant mothers who are about to give birth should observe the baby's fetal movements and a series of changes in the pregnant woman's body at any time. If the fetal movement is abnormal or there is pain, spotting, discharge, swollen legs, anemia, high blood pressure and other uncomfortable symptoms, you must be very cautious, because delivery will decide the outcome.
