The expectant mother has entered the late stage of pregnancy. At this time, the development of the fetus is relatively complete, and the fetal movements are gradually increasing. So how many fetal movements are normal in the late stage of pregnancy? This is the answer many expectant mothers want to know.

However, many expectant mothers worry that their babies may have ADHD. So, how many fetal movements are normal in the late pregnancy?

Fetal movement is a sign that the fetus is doing well in the uterus and is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the fetus moves constantly in the uterus, constantly impacting the uterine wall of the mother and child.

How much fetal movement is considered normal in the late pregnancy? Since fetal movement also varies depending on the individual physical condition of the expectant mother, many expectant mothers want to know whether there is a unified indicator to measure how much fetal movement is normal in the late pregnancy.

After 32 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movements become strong and regular. Doctors will advise pregnant women to count fetal movements to understand the condition of the fetus in the uterus. In the morning, noon and evening, measure the fetal movement for one hour each time in the left side lying position. Then add the three measured fetal movements and multiply by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours.

How much fetal movement is normal in late pregnancy? Under normal circumstances, the fetus moves more than 3 times per hour. If the fetal movement is more than 30 times in 12 hours, it means that the fetus is in good condition. If it is less than 20 times, it means that the fetus has intrauterine hypoxia. If it is less than 10 times, it means that the fetus is in danger and the prognosis is poor. When expectant mothers are monitoring themselves, if they find that the number of fetal movements is lower than normal, they should go to the hospital immediately for examination to determine the cause and save the fetus in time.
