7 months pregnant fetus keeps moving

Fetal movement is a direct indication that the baby is alive and well in the mother's belly. If the baby's fetal movement is frequent, mothers do not need to worry too much. However, some mothers are first-time mothers, so they still have some doubts about the baby's fetal movement in their womb. Is it normal for some women who are seven months pregnant to find that their babies are moving more frequently?

According to survey statistics, for many expectant mothers, their babies become unusually active when they are seven or eight months pregnant. They often kick their mothers' stomachs and the fetal movements are so frequent that the expectant mothers cannot sleep properly. The baby is in an active period at this time of pregnancy, and because it is not very big yet, there is more space for movement in the uterus, so this is the time when the baby's fetal movement is most intense. Pregnant mothers can feel the baby's various big movements such as punching, kicking, and rolling, and can even see the little hands and feet protruding from the belly. At this time, the fetus is positioned higher and closer to the stomach.

If the fetal movement is always very frequent, then it is okay. However, if you were not very active before but suddenly become very active for a few days, you need to go to the hospital to check whether it is caused by lack of oxygen. This also requires us to pay attention to fetal movements in our daily lives and form a good habit of counting fetal movements. This is not only an effective and easy method of fetal monitoring, but also a good method of fetal education. During the three hours of counting fetal movements in the morning, noon and evening every day, pregnant women are in a calm, peaceful and happy state of mind, communicating with the fetus through "thoughts". When pregnant women self-measure fetal movements, it is best to sit quietly or lie on their left side, concentrate and feel the number of fetal movements. Every time the fetus moves, draw a line on paper, or put small objects in a box to count, so as to be accurate.

During the prenatal check-up, the fetal movement record can be given to the doctor for reference. When a pregnant woman finds that the fetus moves less than 20 times in 12 hours, or less than 3 times per hour, it indicates that the fetus is suffering from hypoxia and the life of the baby may be seriously threatened. In the early stages of hypoxia, the number of fetal movements will increase, and the fetus will become restless due to hypoxia. When fetal intrauterine hypoxia continues to worsen, fetal movements gradually weaken and the frequency decreases, which is a sign of danger to the fetus. If no emergency measures are taken at this time, the fetus will stop moving and even its heart rate will disappear, and the heart will stop beating, resulting in death. This process takes about 12 to 48 hours. Therefore, once a pregnant woman finds abnormal fetal movement, she must not take it lightly. She should go to the obstetrics department immediately for treatment. Timely treatment can often turn danger into safety.
