What does fetal movement feel like at 20 weeks of pregnancy?

When a woman's pregnancy reaches a certain period of time, the baby will move. Fetal movement is a sign that the baby is energetic. Many mothers feel the baby's fetal movement in April. At 20 weeks of pregnancy, you are already 5 months pregnant. So, what does the fetal movement at 20 weeks feel like? A small number of pregnant women do not feel the fetal movement at 20 weeks. There is no need to be anxious at this time. As long as the prenatal check-up is normal, there is no need to worry, because some fetuses are not easy to move, and it may also be that the pregnant woman is slightly fat and the feeling of fetal movement is not sensitive.

First, let’s take a look at what fetal movement is. Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the mother's belly. When the baby moves, it can touch the endometrium, so the mother will feel the movement of the baby. The baby's fetal movements begin in April, and the fetal movements become frequent and obvious at five months of pregnancy. Many mothers who are five months pregnant will feel as if there are butterflies flying in their stomachs, or as if there are fish swimming in their stomachs. These are all relatively obvious feelings, which are the characteristics of fetal movement during the 20th week of pregnancy.

At 20 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movements are already quite obvious, and the mother can count her fetal movements in a quiet environment. Generally speaking, the baby's fetal movement will be maintained at 3 to 5 times per hour. The baby's fetal movement reflects the baby's movement in the belly. Some babies are more cheerful and the feeling of fetal movement is more frequent. Some babies are not very cheerful, so their fetal movements will be less.

However, if there is no fetal movement at 20 weeks of pregnancy, then there is a problem, and there may be some problem with the fetus. The mother must see a doctor immediately to check whether the baby in her belly is still alive. If there is a problem with the fetus, it needs to be resolved immediately.
