If you experience strong fetal movements in the 6th month of pregnancy, it is recommended that you understand the following content.

1. Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements during the sixth month of pregnancy?

Fetal movement is an important way for expectant mothers to feel their baby. First-time mothers will feel fetal movement for the first time around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. In the second trimester, the number of fetal movements will be very frequent, but in the third trimester, the number of fetal movements will decrease due to limited space for movement. What does fetal movement feel like?

1. The feeling of the first fetal movement

If this is your first pregnancy, you will most likely feel fetal movement for the first time 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.

3. The feeling of fetal movement at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy

At this time, the pregnant mother may feel her stomach jumping intermittently, which is the baby hiccuping. Now there is enough amniotic fluid in the pregnant mother's amniotic sac, and the fetus can move freely in the uterus. In addition, the fetus can already hear external sounds at this time, so the pregnant mother may feel the fetus suddenly move due to external sound stimulation from time to time.

2. What is the cause of frequent fetal movement?

Fetal movement is a very effective way to self-monitor fetal health. Generally speaking, the number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements can reflect the safety of the fetus. Generally speaking, the fetal movement should be no less than 3-5 times per hour, but if the fetal movement exceeds 10 times per hour, it should be considered as frequent fetal movement. Frequent fetal movements refer to the increase in the number of fetal movements felt by pregnant women. This may be due to physiological increases in the number of fetal movements or pathological reasons.

Frequent physiological fetal movements refer to an increase in the number of fetal movements caused by activities or stimulation of the pregnant woman. Normally, pregnant women will feel frequent fetal movements in five situations:

1. After eating: After eating, the blood sugar level in the pregnant mother's body increases, and the fetus also absorbs sufficient nutrients, so the fetal movement will become more frequent than before meals.

2. When taking a bath: Pregnant mothers are usually more relaxed when taking a bath. This emotion will be transmitted to the fetus. Infected by this emotion, the fetus will be more energetic and the number of fetal movements will increase.

3. Before going to bed at night: Generally speaking, the fetus moves the most at night, and at this time the pregnant mother can calm down and feel the baby's fetal movements, so she will feel that the baby moves particularly a lot.

4. When listening to music: From the second trimester, the fetus can hear the sounds of the outside world. He prefers soothing and gentle music. Under the stimulation of music, the fetus will become more active, which is also a way to convey emotions. It should be noted that pregnant mothers should not listen to music that is too intense or loud, so as to avoid adverse stimulation to the fetus and cause abnormal fetal movements.

5. When talking to the belly: Studies have shown that the fetus can hear what mom and dad are saying. When communicating with the fetus, the fetus will respond with frequent fetal movements.

This article explains in detail whether frequent fetal movements are normal during the sixth month of pregnancy. It also introduces the specific times when fetal movements become frequent. If you are a mother who is pregnant with a six-month-old baby, then you must always pay attention to the baby's fetal movements. If you find any abnormalities, you must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time. Generally speaking, frequent fetal movements at six months are normal.
