22 weeks old, fetal movement is very active

The 22nd week of pregnancy belongs to the second trimester, which is also a relatively unique stage. Some pregnant women experience frequent fetal movements and normal fetal heartbeat at 22 weeks of pregnancy. What is the reason? What are the common questions you need to ask during the 22nd week of pregnancy? Next, the editor will explain these aspects in detail for everyone.

Is it normal for the fetal heartbeat to be frequent during the 22nd week of pregnancy?

The movement of the fetus in the uterus is called fetal movement. Fetal movement is the main manifestation of the fetus's good condition in the womb. During the 18th to 20th week of normal pregnancy, most pregnant women can feel the baby's movements, which are mild and less frequent at first. 3-5 times per hour. The more weeks of pregnancy, the more active the fetal movement, but the fetal movement decreases in the later stages of pregnancy.

Generally, fetal movement reaches its peak after 28-32 weeks of pregnancy. After 36 weeks, the intensity and frequency of fetal movements also decrease to a certain extent, and pregnant women feel it as intestinal peristalsis. The baby's fetal movement is more even between 8 and 12 in the morning, the least between 2 and 3 in the afternoon, and then gradually increases, reaching the maximum between 8 and 11 at night. If the baby's fetal movement count exceeds 30 times/12 hours, it is normal. If it is less than 10 times/12 hours, it indicates that the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia.

What are the common questions about 22 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Treat vertigo correctly. At this stage, it's normal to feel dizzy and lightheaded when changing positions, as changing positions causes changes in the distribution of blood volume in the body. Most of the blood is directly delivered to the uterus to support the embryo and fetus. Because the frictional resistance around the pelvis and lower limbs is the lowest, a large amount of blood is stored here. When you stand up quickly, it takes more than ten minutes for the blood in the pelvic and leg veins to recirculate; at the same time, the lack of blood in the brain can make you feel dizzy and even faint. Even if you feel dizzy from time to time, your baby will not be in danger because the blood supply to the uterus and embryo is sufficient.

2. This week's prenatal education for your baby: give full play to the charm of sound. Recently, you may find that the baby's fetal movements are more frequent, and it seems that no matter what you do, the fetal product will actively respond to let you feel the presence of this baby. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity to carry out prenatal education for our baby, and don't let the baby perform a one-man show. You can listen to a piece of classical music that expresses elegant emotions every day; or find some short and interesting fairy tales, ask your husband to cooperate with you, and read them to your baby with emotion; you can also buy a children's story tape and listen to it every day. It is best to tell or listen to the same song or a fixed few short stories repeatedly, which will strengthen the baby's memory of "this sound". Maybe after the baby is born, that sound will make him more appetite when drinking milk, or he can quickly calm down from crying and making a fuss.

The above is some content that the editor has introduced to everyone about the normal fetal heartbeat and frequent fetal movement at 22 weeks. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Generally speaking, this kind of situation is relatively normal, and pregnant women don't need to worry too much. During the 22nd week of pregnancy, you should go out for a walk to exercise and stretch your muscles.
