Where is the fetal movement during 5 months of pregnancy?

In fact, pregnant women need to learn about this knowledge in their daily lives, and they also need to have a certain grasp of the fetal movements, which is good for their babies. So let us take a look at the fetal movement position in 5 months of pregnancy.

Generally, around 20 weeks of pregnancy, most pregnant women can feel fetal movement, which is especially obvious at night. Fetal movement is most frequent from 29 to 38 weeks of pregnancy. As the fetal head descends near full term, fetal movement will decrease slightly. As pregnancy is overdue, the number of fetal movements will also decrease. However, some pregnant women feel fetal movement later. This is mainly because the earliest fetal movement feels like a fish swimming or wings dancing, and is often mistaken for indigestion, flatulence or hunger.

The fetus actually moves every day. When the baby is young, you cannot feel it because the force is too weak. As the baby grows older, you will be able to feel it as the fetus becomes stronger. When the fetus moves, it is usually the hands and feet that move more.

The number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences between fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and does not change much, it is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, the oxygen supplied to the fetus is sufficient, and the fetus is normal.

When the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours, or less than 3 times per hour, it indicates that the fetus is suffering from hypoxia. In the early stages of hypoxia, the fetus will be restless and the number of fetal movements will increase. 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.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the fetal movement position in 5 months of pregnancy. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, you still need to go to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups to know the condition of your fetus at the first time.
