What is the fetal movement like in the seventh month of pregnancy

As the pregnancy progresses, the pregnant woman's belly becomes larger and larger, and she will gradually feel the baby's movement. So, when a pregnant woman is seven months pregnant, what is the baby's movement like?

How does the baby move during the seventh month of pregnancy?

The baby's fetal movements are all below the belly button. When lying down, they are on both sides or around the belly button. At seven months of pregnancy, the various organs in the body of the fetus have already had their prototypes, and gradually various parts of the fetal body begin to grow and develop, and growing hair is one of the external parts of the body.

Some pregnant women have more sensitive bodies and can feel the fetal movement very early, but others may need to wait a little longer to feel the fetal movement. If the baby's fetal movement does not occur as scheduled, pregnant mothers should not worry. It may be that the fetus is still very small and the strength of the movement is not strong enough to be felt by pregnant mothers. If you are still worried, you can go to the hospital for examination to observe the condition of the fetus. If the prenatal check-up is normal, there is no problem with the fetus. At 33-36 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus may have already formed a curled-up posture with its head down. Pregnant women can feel the fetus poking their abdomen with its arms and calves. Sometimes, this little baby may even kick the pregnant women's ribs and cause pain.

Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements during the seventh month of pregnancy?

In a normal pregnancy, if the fetus is healthy, the fetal movement rate is 3-5 times per hour, about 30-40 times or more in 12 hours. If the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours or less than 3 times per hour, you should pay attention to it and go to the hospital immediately to ask the obstetrician and gynecologist to check the fetal movement. It mainly reflects the fetal growth, lack of oxygen causing intrauterine distress and other conditions. When the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia in the uterus, the changes in the frequency and height of fetal movements are more sensitive than the changes in the fetal heart sounds.

What should you pay attention to when you are seven months pregnant?

1. Avoid doing strenuous exercises and avoid doing postures that compress the abdomen. If expectant mothers stand for too long or their lower body is compressed, it will easily cause edema and varicose veins in the feet. If varicose veins occur, they should wear stretchable flesh-colored stockings to relieve the condition.

2. In terms of diet, you should also pay attention to your own nutrition, eat more foods containing high-quality protein and iron, ensure that you are not picky about food, and maintain a comprehensive balance of nutrition.

3. Some pregnant women may experience headaches and dizziness due to increased blood pressure or aggravated anemia. Psychological burden and mental factors can also cause headaches, so you must maintain a happy mood every day.

In the seventh month of pregnancy, although fetal movement is normal, if the pregnant woman feels that the fetal movement is uncomfortable or unpleasant, she can consult a doctor and ask what is causing it.
