How many months of pregnancy does fetal movement begin?

When a new mother feels the baby's movement for the first time after becoming pregnant, the feeling is very strange. So, at how many months of pregnancy will fetal movement usually occur? How can expectant mothers judge whether the baby is healthy based on the amount of fetal movement during pregnancy? Fetal movement is indeed a mysterious subject. The editor below will explain it to you. Let's learn about it together.

How many months of pregnancy will the baby move

After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, starting from the 5th month, the pregnant mother can obviously feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches out its hands, lifts its legs, and impacts the endometrium in the uterus. This is fetal movement. The frequency and speed of fetal movement indicate the well-being of the fetus. Normally, the baby's fetal movement is not less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30 to 40 times. However, due to the large individual differences between fetuses, some fetuses move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular and rhythmic, with little change, it proves that the baby's development is normal.

How to count fetal movements in early pregnancy

Fetal movement usually occurs after April. At the beginning, the fetal movement has not yet established a regularity. Pregnant women need to learn to count the fetal movements by themselves so that they can grasp the baby's condition at any time.

Specific method: three times a day from morning to night, each time for one hour, count the number of fetal movements within one hour. After three counts, add the data together and multiply by 4 to get the average number of fetal movements in 12 hours.

The above article introduces in detail the issue of fetal movement that usually occurs during the first few months of pregnancy. It is not difficult to see that the early, mid-late and late stages of fetal movement have a certain impact on the mother's physical fitness and her pregnancy level. The frequency of fetal movement in the morning, afternoon and night is different. Expectant mothers should master the correct method of calculating fetal movement, and pay more attention to the fetal movement situation in daily life, so as to judge the needs of the baby in the uterus.

After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, starting from the 5th month, the pregnant mother can obviously feel the fetal movement. The fetus stretches out its hands, lifts its legs, and impacts the endometrium in the uterus. This is the fetal movement. The frequency and speed of fetal movement indicate the well-being of the fetus. Normal and obvious fetal movement is at least 3-5 times an hour. The number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30-40 times.

Some pregnant women have more sensitive bodies and can feel the fetal movement very early, while others may need to wait a little longer to feel the fetal movement. Generally speaking, pregnant women with their first child will be able to feel the baby's movement later, but pregnant women do not need to be anxious, because not feeling the baby's movement does not mean that the baby is not moving. It may be because the fetus is too small and has weak energy, and the movement is not strong enough to be noticed. If the prenatal check-up is normal, there will be no problem with the fetus.
