The fetal movement there proves that it has entered the pelvis.

In the late pregnancy, the fetus will move its head to the mother's pelvis and begin to enter the pelvis. If the entry is successful, it means that the fetus has grown and is about to give birth. Many pregnant women feel that the fetal movement decreases to a certain extent after the fetal head enters the pelvis, and they worry whether there is something wrong with the fetal health. So where is the fetal movement after entering the pelvis? Will the baby's fetal movement decrease after the fetal head enters the pelvis? Today, the editor will explain it to everyone.

Where is the baby's movement after the fetal head enters the pelvis?

When pregnancy enters the early stage, the baby in the belly, surrounded by the amniotic fluid and placenta of the pregnant woman, will be in a posture with head down, hips up, and body curled up, so that its head enters the pelvis through the pregnant woman's pelvic canal, and then its body parts are pushed forward to facilitate a complete delivery. This is what we call engagement. When the baby first enters the pelvis, because the baby's head will move, sometimes you can feel the baby's movement near the toes, and you can also feel the baby's movement in the abdomen. After the baby is fully in the pelvis, the baby's head cannot move, and the limbs mainly move. The baby's fetal movement will appear in the area near the belly button.

Will the baby's fetal movement decrease after the fetal head enters the pelvis?

1. After the baby enters the pelvis, the fetal movement will gradually decrease. However, when the fetus is short of oxygen in the mother's body, fetal movement may decrease, so you should learn to identify the reasons for decreased fetal movement.

2. The baby's fetal movement is normal, indicating that the uterus-placenta functions well, and the oxygen transported to the fetus is sufficient. The fetus grows and develops healthily in the uterus and moves happily. Reduced fetal movement is often seen in weakened placental function and diffuse oxygen deficiency in the fetal uterine cavity, and is a key indicator of fetal distress.

3. Calculate the number of fetal movements according to the following time ranges to determine whether the fetus is normal.

(1) If you feel the baby move 10 times between 8 am and 6 pm, you can rest assured.

(2) Start counting fetal movements after waking up in the morning. If there are still no 10 fetal movements after 10 o'clock at night, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination immediately.

(3) Between 7 and 11 p.m., accurately measure the number of fetal movements of the baby, generally calculating the time required for 10 fetal movements. If the number of fetal movements is less than 10 times within 3 hours, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

After the fetal head enters the pelvis, it is very important to count the number of fetal movements. If you find abnormal fetal movements, you need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to ensure the health of the fetus. Finally, the editor would like to remind all pregnant mothers that before the fetal head enters the pelvis and the pregnant women give birth, they must pay attention to scientifically arrange their rest days, avoid fatigue, maintain sufficient energy, and make relevant preparations for the successful delivery of the fetus.

How to correct the umbilical cord of a baby that has been around the neck for two weeks?

I went to the hospital happily for a pregnancy check-up, but the result showed that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck. Although it is not a big problem, for pregnant women, it may make the baby uncomfortable. It is normal for the baby to move around in the pregnant woman's belly and be entangled by the umbilical cord, but it is best to correct it, otherwise what should you do if the baby runs around and gets entangled too much?

How to correct the fetal umbilical cord around the neck for two weeks

1. If a pregnant woman finds that the umbilical cord of the fetus is around the neck for two weeks, don't be anxious and relax your mentality. By counting fetal movements at home, count the number of fetal movements within one hour in the morning, noon, and evening, as well as the number of fetal movements within 12 hours. Under normal circumstances, the number of fetal movements should be more than ten times. If there are violent and frequent fetal movements, it is best to go to the hospital for examination immediately.

2. If the baby's fetal movement is too little, it should not be ignored. It is best to go to the hospital for examination. Regular pregnancy checkups can detect abnormalities such as too little or too much amniotic fluid, transverse position of the fetus, etc. The condition of the fetal umbilical cord can be determined through fetal heart monitoring and color Doppler ultrasound examinations.

3. Pregnant women are advised to sleep on their left side at night, because sleeping on the left side will make the fetus quieter and move less, which will reduce the probability of entanglement.

4. The umbilical cord of the fetus is around the neck for two weeks, but some fetuses will turn back home by themselves in the later stages. Pregnant women do not need to move or touch the abdomen too often to stimulate them, otherwise they will move more violently.

Frequently asked questions

The situation of the fetus's umbilical cord wrapped around the neck is relatively common and does not affect the pregnant woman's delivery, so the vast majority of pregnant women can give birth successfully. However, during labor, it is necessary to determine whether natural delivery can be chosen based on the dilation of the fetal pelvic birth canal and cervical opening, and whether the fetus shows any abnormalities. If necessary, it should be resolved as soon as possible or a cesarean section should be performed.
