Characteristics of fetal movement in fetuses with cerebral palsy

For pregnant women, cerebral palsy is a problem that they are more worried about. Therefore, expectant mothers who have a strong sense of fetal health should pay special attention to prenatal care and do prenatal checkups on time, hoping to find out whether the fetus has growth and development problems as early as possible through examination. However, whether the fetal movement of babies with cerebral palsy is normal is a problem that parents are very concerned about. Let's discuss the fetal movement characteristics of babies with cerebral palsy.

Babies with cerebral palsy are babies whose brain tissues are not well developed. Their fetal movements are also normal. Generally, it is recommended that you count the fetal movements for one hour in the morning and evening during pregnancy. Count at a fixed time every day, and count quietly. Each count should be one hour. 3 to 5 fetal movements within one hour are normal.

First of all, the frequency of fetal movement cannot determine whether the baby has cerebral palsy, so fetal movement to determine whether the baby has cerebral palsy has no specific guiding role. If you want to determine whether the baby has cerebral palsy, you need to do a cranial CT scan of the baby. Moreover, even babies with cerebral palsy will have fetal movements in the mother's abdomen. Many babies will develop cerebral palsy after they are born.

Secondly, generally speaking, fetal cerebral palsy is mostly caused by various bad behaviors of pregnant women during pregnancy. If one of the parents is addicted to alcohol and smoking for a long time, or is exposed to radiation for a long time, it will cause fetal cerebral palsy. Or if the woman suffers from genetic metabolic diseases during pregnancy, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases that require long-term medication, it will directly affect the normal growth and development of the fetus. Of course, congenital infection or chromosomal abnormalities can also cause cerebral palsy in babies.

Finally, pregnancy is a high-risk period for infantile cerebral palsy, so pregnant women must take relevant safety precautions. During the early preparation period for pregnancy, they must ensure their physical health. During pregnancy, they must go for regular check-ups to detect abnormalities in the fetus as early as possible.
