24 weeks pregnant, no fetal movement for a day

For young men and women, pregnancy is a very happy and exciting thing. The baby has been cared for since the moment it was in the mother's belly. At 20 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's fetal movement began to appear, which was the first time the baby interacted with mom and dad. Then the baby began to say hello to mom and dad every day. But what should I do if the baby's fetal movement suddenly stops at 24 weeks of pregnancy?

Reasons for the cessation of fetal movement

1. Fetal movement decreases

The sudden decrease in fetal movement may be due to the fact that the pregnant mother has a fever, which increases the blood volume around the body, reduces the blood volume of the embryo and uterus, and causes the baby to suffer from mild hypoxia. If the fetal movement is less than 3 times within 1 hour, or less than 10 times within 12 hours, the baby is moving too little. In addition, you should also pay attention to the horizontal comparison with your normal fetal movements. When the number of fetal movements is less than 1/2 of the normal data, the fetal movement is also abnormal.

2. After the baby's fetal movement, it suddenly stops

When the fetus rolls over and over, it is entangled by the umbilical cord, the blood cannot circulate, and it suffocates due to lack of oxygen, which may cause such fetal movement reaction.

3. The baby's fetal movement appears late and is relatively poor

This may be caused by poor placental function. Poor placental function caused by various reasons leads to the embryo providing hypoxia to the fetus. The baby's fetal movement will also be relieved due to long-term lack of oxygen.

4. The baby's fetal movements suddenly increase, and then gradually decrease

This may be caused by insufficient oxygen to the baby or external stimulation, and is sometimes accompanied by severe abdominal pain and heavy vaginal bleeding.

What should I do if my baby suddenly stops moving at 24 weeks of pregnancy?

1. If abnormal fetal movement occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Keep counting fetal movements every day. If you feel something unpleasant, go to the hospital for a check-up immediately.

The above is what you should do if your baby’s fetal movement suddenly stops at 24 weeks of pregnancy. Normal fetal movements have a certain regularity. Because the changes are constantly occurring in the mother's belly, the mother can clearly feel the baby's information. If the baby is uncomfortable in the mother's womb, there will be a significant change in the baby's fetal movement. The mother will quickly find out that something is wrong and will go to the hospital to consult a doctor to ensure the baby's health.
