How long will it take for the fetus to give birth after the fetal movement decreases?

Fetal movement is a sign that the baby is growing healthily in the pregnant woman's belly, so when pregnant women see signs of fetal movement in their belly, they are often very happy. And through the frequency of fetal movement, pregnant women can also effectively infer whether the baby in the belly is healthy. However, as the due date approaches, the signs of fetal movement will gradually decrease. After the fetal movement decreases, how long will it take for the pregnant woman to give birth?

1. What should I do if the fetal movement decreases?

When the fetal movement decreases, expectant mothers are almost dying of anxiety. What should they do?

1. Under normal circumstances, if the fetal movement is more than 10 times in 12 hours, or the normal fetal movement is 3-5 times per hour, a decrease or increase in the number of movements is likely to indicate intrauterine fetal hypoxia. Pregnant women can change fetal movements by changing their body position, pushing their abdomen, or making sounds. Reduced fetal movements are a sign of hypoxia. It is recommended to monitor the movement carefully and go to the hospital for examination in time if there are any abnormalities.

2. If the decrease in fetal movement occurs in the late pregnancy, it is a normal phenomenon, especially after the baby enters the pelvis, the fetal movement will be significantly reduced. As long as the number of fetal movements is not too small, there is no problem. In addition, if you have frequent prenatal examinations in the later stages of pregnancy, any problems will be easily discovered. Don't worry too much.

2. Does reduced fetal movement mean that the baby is about to be born?

1. Normal and obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times in 1 hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours should be more than 30 to 40 times. 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. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, that the fetus is receiving sufficient oxygen, that the fetus is growing and developing healthily in the uterus, and that the fetus is moving happily.

2. 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 pregnant woman's movement, posture, emotions, loud noises, strong light, and touching the abdomen can all cause changes in fetal movement.

3. During the day, there are two active peaks of fetal movement, one is from 7 to 9 in the morning, and the other is from 11 pm to 1 am the next day. At other times, especially in the early morning, fetal movements are relatively rare. The general rule is no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and the fetal movement is about 30 to 40 times every 12 hours.

4. When approaching the due date, if there is any problem with fetal movement, you should report it to the doctor immediately. If there is no fetal movement at all for 6 consecutive hours, or the number of fetal movements decreases, you should tell the doctor. Even if the fetal movement stops completely, don't worry, because the doctor will immediately check whether the fetus is healthy and whether induction of labor or caesarean section is needed. Tracking fetal movements is a good way to check the health of the fetus, especially for those with late labor. If you find that fetal movement is significantly reduced, you should see a doctor immediately.

Warm reminder: During pregnancy, you should pay attention to rest, especially avoid catching a cold. When an epidemic occurs, avoid going to crowded places. Keep the indoor air circulating and fresh every day. Drink plenty of water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
