What is the cause of the fetal movement?

Fetal movement is our way of checking the development of the fetus in the body. Generally speaking, the number of fetal movements is regular and different at different stages. However, if the fetus moves lower or the number of fetal movements is abnormal, mothers should pay attention to it. Could it be caused by poor breathing or fetal compression? Poor blood circulation can cause fetal hypoxia and fetal movement will be more violent.

What is the cause of the fetal movement at six months?

Generally speaking, the number of fetal movements follows a certain pattern, and the number of fetal movements varies in different periods. If it exceeds a certain value or range, it may be that the fetal movement is frequent. In fact, there are different reasons for frequent fetal movements. Some are caused by certain factors and are harmless, while others are caused by certain problems with the fetus. In this case, measures need to be taken as soon as possible. Pregnant women may feel their baby's fetal movements become more frequent after meals when their blood sugar rises, after taking a bath when their blood circulation speeds up, or before going to bed, but this is mostly normal and there is no need to worry. In addition, some external stimuli, such as strong light, loud noises, or when pregnant women listen to music or gently touch their belly, may affect the baby's fetal movement. However, frequent fetal movements may also be due to fetal hypoxia. Common hypoxia can be seen in placental abruption, placenta previa, umbilical cord around the neck, etc. In the early stages of hypoxia, the number of fetal movements will increase, but will gradually decrease afterwards.

Pregnant women feel changes in fetal movement

1. The feeling of the first fetal movement. Pregnant women who are pregnant for the first time may feel fetal movement for the first time around 18 to 20 weeks. At the beginning, the fetal movement is intermittent, like a butterfly flapping its wings. Gradually, the fetal movements became stronger and more regular.

2. The feeling of fetal movement at 20 to 24 weeks. During these weeks, the fetus's movements will increase. From this time on, and for the next dozen weeks, the fetus will be very active.

3. The feeling of fetal movement at 24 to 28 weeks. The fetus may start to hiccup, so the pregnant woman may occasionally feel her stomach jumping up and down. The amniotic sac of a pregnant woman can now hold up to more than 700 ml of amniotic fluid, and the fetus can move freely inside it. At this time, the fetus can feel some external stimuli. When there is a sudden sound from the outside world, the fetus will jump in the uterus. Generally, starting from the 28th week, the fetus's life rhythm becomes more obvious, and he will have cycles of sleep and wakefulness. Doctors recommend counting fetal movements every day starting from the 28th week as a self-help method to monitor the baby's health.
