Fetal movement above the belly button in late pregnancy

Women can feel the baby moving in their abdomen after four months of pregnancy. At four months, they can only feel the baby moving sometimes, but as time goes by and the months go by, the baby's movements will become bigger and bigger, and the baby's movements will gradually become more obvious. The baby will often exercise in the mother's belly, and the baby's movements will become more and more frequent. Is it normal when the fetal movement is above the belly button?

Is the fetal movement position above the belly button a breech position?

Expectant mothers are very concerned about the fetal position. If it is still in breech position until the late pregnancy, the possibility of choosing a natural birth is unlikely. There is a folk saying that if the fetal movement is above the navel, it is very likely to be a breech position. In fact, this is not certain. The fetal movement will continue to change. Sometimes the whole abdomen is affected, sometimes on the left, and sometimes above the navel. These are all normal situations. If you want to know the fetal position, you need to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination.

Where is the baby's fetal movement usually?

There is no fixed part of the baby's fetal movement, which is related to the posture of the fetus in the uterine cavity. Some pregnant mothers' fetal movements occur in the upper left abdomen, some in the upper right abdomen, and some in the upper abdomen. These are all normal. In addition, changes in pregnancy months and changes in the pregnant woman's posture can affect the baby's fetal movement.

Generally speaking, the fetal movements that pregnant women can feel first appear in the center of the lower abdomen, and there are several different types. Among them is the rolling exercise, which is the fetal body rotating up and down, which lasts for a long time, generally 3-30 seconds. The fetus rolls over in a large position, and the pregnant mother will feel a rolling and stretching sensation in the lower abdomen.

As pregnancy progresses, pregnant mothers will notice the fetal limb movements, such as punching and kicking. Sometimes the fetus will kick or tremble, shake, or burp in the belly. This posture lasts for a short time, usually 1-15 seconds. The location of this posture is not uniform. The pregnant mother may feel that the baby has punched her in the lower left abdomen and kicked her in the lower right abdomen.

In addition, every pregnant mother has a different physical condition, so her understanding of the baby's fetal movement will also be different. Pregnant women with thin abdomens are more likely to feel fetal movements than those with thick abdomens, and the awareness of fetal movements is also related to the sensitivity of pregnant women.

When the fetal movement is above the belly button, it means that the pregnancy has already reached the late stage. In the late stage, the fetus almost occupies the entire abdomen of the pregnant mother, and the mother's internal organs are pressed to one side, especially after eight months, the position of the fetus has exceeded the belly button. Sometimes, when the movement is so strong, the mother will feel that the baby has moved to her stomach! And after eight months, most of the fetuses are head down and up, so the strength of the feet is still very strong, sometimes even to the mother's tears.
