How long does it take for fetal movement to occur during pregnancy?

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the baby in the belly of a pregnant woman after she becomes pregnant. Generally speaking, the baby has already started moving in the mother's belly from the moment of pregnancy. However, the fetal dynamics in the early stage are relatively small and the pregnant mother cannot feel it. In fact, pregnant women usually begin to feel fetal movement at the fifth month of pregnancy. This article will explain in detail how long it takes for the baby to move during pregnancy.

1. How long does it take for fetal movement to occur during pregnancy?

Generally, pregnant women can feel more obvious fetal movements around the 5th month of pregnancy, but the specific time varies from person to person. Some people may feel the first fetal movement as early as 16 or 17 weeks, while others may feel it later, around 20 weeks, which is all normal.

Fetal movement refers to the conscious movement of the fetus in the mother's womb, such as breathing, opening and closing the mouth, rolling and so on. If it is a passive movement caused by the mother's coughing, breathing and other movements, it cannot be regarded as fetal movement. Fetal movement is one of the most objective signs of fetal life. It not only establishes an inseparable emotional connection with the pregnant mother, but also describes the growth and development of the fetus in the womb. It is a signal sent by the fetus to the mother. The number, speed, height, etc. of fetal movements often indicate the fortune of the fetus.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the embryo in the test tube is still small, and the pregnant woman cannot feel the fetal movement. Only through B-ultrasound can the tiny movements of the fetus be seen. The pregnant mother will not notice the first fetal movement until the middle of pregnancy. The initial fetal movement is also very mild and may not be easy to detect, but the fetal movement will become more and more obvious. However, a few weeks before delivery, because the baby has grown larger and the space in the uterine cavity is relatively small, the fetal movement in the late pregnancy will decrease instead.

2. Baby's fetal movement maintenance

I believe that for some new mothers, they are very concerned about the issue of fetal movement during pregnancy. Because it is their first pregnancy, they have a certain curiosity and a happy mental state. However, at this time, it is recommended that pregnant mothers maintain a stable mentality and have an optimistic attitude. Don't let the heart actually have load fluctuations, because that will have a certain impact on the body of pregnant women. Breathing more fresh air and keeping a good mood can help us feel the baby's fetal movement as soon as possible and bring us joy.

According to the detailed introduction in the article, we can understand that the fetal movement that pregnant women can feel usually starts in the fifth month of pregnancy. If you are a pregnant mother, you'd better refer to the content in this article carefully to see whether your baby's fetal movement is normal. At the same time, you must do a good job of keeping the fetus safe during pregnancy.
