Fetal movement decreases slightly at 26 weeks of pregnancy

Fetal movement decreases slightly at 26 weeks of pregnancy

Pregnancy refers to the presence of one or more fetuses or embryos in the body of a female mammal (including humans). So, what is the reason for the decrease in fetal movement at 26 weeks of pregnancy? What is the reason for the very mild decrease in fetal movement at 26 weeks of pregnancy? Let's have a simple understanding and understanding of this issue together. I hope the following points will be of some help to everyone!

A very slight decrease in fetal movement at 26 weeks of pregnancy may be due to ischemic oxygen deficiency in the fetal uterine cavity, or the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the tibia or the umbilical cord is twisted. In this case, it is best to do a B-ultrasound examination to clarify the condition and determine whether the fetus is safe. The 26th week of pregnancy belongs to the second trimester of pregnancy, and the number of fetal movements should not decrease. The normal number of fetal movements is 3-5 times per hour, and the obvious number of fetal movements is 30-40 times every 12 hours. If the fetal movement is less than this number, the pregnant woman should sleep on her left side, pay attention to rest, and then count the baby's fetal movements again. If the number of fetal movements is less than 10 times every 12 hours, it is best to see a doctor immediately for an ultrasound examination to see the baby's development and whether the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia.

Generally speaking, if the baby's fetal movement decreases at 26 weeks of pregnancy, it is abnormal and you need to do an ultrasound to find out the cause.

Below we have provided some knowledge about fetal movement at 26 weeks of pregnancy for your reference:

1. Count the fetal movements three times a day, in the morning, afternoon, and night (do it at regular intervals, such as counting after meals today and tomorrow. The number of fetal movements before and after meals varies greatly. If the timing is not accurate, it will affect the accuracy of the baby's fetal movements).

2. It is more convenient to use soybeans or buttons to count each time the baby moves. Each time the baby moves, use a soybean or a button. After 1 hour, add up the number of fetal movements.

3. At 26 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's fetal movement frequency is 3-5 times per hour. The sum of the number of fetal movements in the morning, afternoon and evening is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours.

4. At 26 weeks of pregnancy, 30 to 40 fetal movements are considered normal. There are two peak periods of fetal movement in a day, one is between 7 and 9 pm, the other is from 11 pm to midnight, and the least in the morning. If the pregnant woman is busy at work, she can only count the fetal movements for 1 hour at night.

If you count fetal movements without a periodicity, the number of fetal movements will generally not be very regular, sometimes more and sometimes less, so don't worry too much, maybe the baby is taking a nap at that time. However, it is best to use the computer less often. Although there is no objective evidence to prove whether radiation has an impact on the fetus, for the sake of eugenics, it is best to avoid using it as much as possible.

During the 26th week of pregnancy, it is important to maintain a happy mood, exercise moderately, eat a balanced diet, and have regular prenatal checkups.
