What is the reason for sudden and violent fetal movement?

In the late stage of pregnancy, fetal movements will be more frequent. Sometimes the violent fetal movements cause uterine contractions, which can cause abdominal pain. If frequent fetal movements cause abdominal pain and physical abnormalities, you should consider premature birth or the body is too tired recently. Some frequent fetal movements are normal. The closer to the due date, the more frequent the fetal movement will be. Some fetal movements are caused by unknown symptoms, and you need to detect the frequency of fetal movements and go to the hospital for relevant examinations.

Some mothers may say that in the late pregnancy, the baby's fetal movement has not increased but decreased. Is this normal?

In fact, fetal movements will decrease after the fetus enters the pelvis in the late pregnancy, which is normal. At 32 weeks of pregnancy, fetal movements are most frequent, and the number of fetal movements per day can reach thousands of times at most. As the pregnancy progresses, as the fetus grows larger, there is less and less space for him to move around in the uterus, so his fetal movements will decrease and not be as frequent as before.

However, it depends on the situation. If the fetus suffers from intrauterine hypoxia, it will also cause fetal movement to decrease and weaken, and expectant mothers must pay attention to this. Generally speaking, you will start to feel less fetal movement after 33 weeks of pregnancy, but when you go to the hospital for examination, you must pay attention to the time of fetal movement. It must be fixed at morning, noon and evening. It must be fixed. If the fetal movement is at least three times an hour between 8 and 9 in the morning, 12 to 1 in the afternoon, and 6 to 7 in the afternoon, then it is okay. If it is two or one time, count again for an hour immediately. If it is still not enough, go to the nearest hospital to listen to the fetal heart rate to see if there is any problem. To sum up, a decrease in fetal movement in the late pregnancy is normal in some cases. As long as you count the fetal movements, you can know whether the baby is healthy.

Is frequent fetal movement normal in late pregnancy?

However, fetal movements will begin to gradually decrease after 38 weeks of pregnancy. If the fetal movements are frequent in the late pregnancy, that is, greater than or equal to 30 times/12 hours or greater than or equal to 4 times/hour, it is also normal, so expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

In addition, pregnant mothers should also pay attention. The number of fetal movements will vary depending on the time. Generally speaking, there are more fetal movements at night and fewer in the morning. Especially before going to bed at night, the fetus moves the most because it is more energetic at this time. Therefore, when expectant mothers measure the number of fetal movements themselves, they should calculate the number of fetal movements in the morning, noon, and evening respectively, for one hour each time, and then multiply the sum of the three counts by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours.
