What does it feel like to have a boy's fetal movement at four months of pregnancy?

The symptoms of fetal movement for a boy in the fourth month of pregnancy are relatively weak. This is because the fetus is relatively small and lacks strength at this time, so the movement in the body is not very obvious. Moreover, the fetal movement of a boy is similar to that of a girl. We cannot judge whether it is a boy or a girl based on the symptoms of fetal movement. If we want to know whether the fetus is a boy or a girl, we should use B-ultrasound, which can be done at four months.

What does it feel like to have a boy's fetal movement at four months of pregnancy?

1. The feeling of the first fetal movement

The first time you feel fetal movement is between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. Because the fetus is still small and lacks strength at this time, the feeling of fetal movement is intermittent, as light as the flapping of a butterfly's wings. As the pregnancy progresses, the expectant mother will gradually feel that the baby is becoming stronger and stronger, and the fetal movements are becoming stronger and more regular.

2. The feeling of fetal movement at 20-24 weeks of pregnancy

From this period onwards, the number of movements of the fetus will gradually increase. The second trimester is a period of very active fetal movement. The baby keeps kicking and somersaulting in the mother's belly, and the mother can feel the baby's movement becoming stronger and stronger.

How many fetal movements are normal?

The number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements reflect the health of the fetus. The frequency and amplitude of fetal movements vary at different times during pregnancy.

At the earliest, fetal movement begins at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy. But the pregnant mother cannot feel it at this time, and can only observe the various movements of the fetus in the womb through B-ultrasound. When the mother is four or five months pregnant, she can feel the fetal movement, but the number of fetal movements she can feel at this time is still very small, and the intervals between fetal movements are also very long. This is because the fetus is not strong enough and requires more intense exercise to make the pregnant mother feel it.

By the 28th week of pregnancy, the baby will gradually develop regular sleeping and resting habits, and the number of fetal movements will become relatively stable. Under normal circumstances, at 28 weeks of pregnancy, the number of fetal movements is about 30-40 times within 12 hours. The fetus has its own sleeping patterns, so the strength and frequency of fetal movements vary during the day and night. The number of movements is less in the morning, increases after 6 pm, and is most active between 8 and 11 pm.

In addition, the number of fetal movements is affected by many factors. Some pregnant mothers will find that when they are busy, the fetal movements will be less frequent; but when they sit down and relax, the fetal movements will increase significantly.

It should be noted that the strength and frequency of fetal movements vary greatly from person to person. Some babies may move more than 100 times within 12 hours, while others may only move 30-40 times. But as long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and the changing curve is not large, it means that the fetal development is normal.

Fetal movement usually starts in April. At the beginning, the mother's feeling will be relatively weak, so the fetal movement is not very obvious. However, as the baby grows older, the mother's feeling will become more obvious. Moreover, when the mother feels the fetal movement, she does not just feel it, but also counts it. Pay attention to frequent or reduced fetal movements.
