Reasons for fetal bulge in seven months of pregnancy

For many women who are 7 months pregnant, the best factor to judge the health of their child is to understand their child's fetal movements. They believe that frequent fetal movements at 7 months mean that the child is healthy. The following content details the reasons for fetal movement bulges at 7 months of pregnancy. Pregnant women who encounter this situation can have a comprehensive understanding of it.

A bulging belly is not fetal movement. The bulging place is the head or the buttocks. An experienced doctor can feel it out with his hands. Fetal movement is the baby's stretching, legs, etc. in the belly. If you touch your belly often, you can feel the baby kicking your hand.

Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements during the seventh month of pregnancy?

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 see if 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.

For some expectant mothers who are about to become mothers for the first time, although they have some knowledge about pregnancy, they are not too familiar with the fetal movement and bulging in the 7th month of pregnancy, so they are particularly worried that it will cause harm to their own bodies and the fetus's body. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. The bulging appears because the child is exercising, but if you feel unwell, you can consider going to the hospital for a check-up.
