Reasons for weakened fetal movement at 23 weeks of pregnancy

Generally, women will feel the baby's movement around the fourth month of pregnancy. At this time, pregnant women will feel very excited and happy, especially for the first time. It is also at this time that many pregnant women will begin to monitor the baby's fetal movements every day. So, let’s find out with the editor why the baby’s fetal movement becomes weaker at 23 weeks of pregnancy.

Reasons why the baby's fetal movement becomes weaker at 23 weeks of pregnancy

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, usually around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, she can slowly feel the baby's movements. The normal range of fetal movement is more than 30 times every 12 hours. If it is lower than this standard value, less than 30 times, it indicates that the baby may be suffering from insufficient oxygen.

2. The number of fetal movements is related to the pregnant woman's own spirit, mentality, medication, amniotic fluid flow, etc. If you find that it is too few or too many, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements at 23 weeks of pregnancy?

The fetus moves frequently at 23 weeks of pregnancy. Generally speaking, the frequency and speed of the fetal movement reflect 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, and the changes are not big, it is normal. The baby's fetal movement is normal, indicating that the placenta is functioning well, the oxygen transported to the fetus is sufficient, and the fetus is normal.

The above is an explanation of the reason why fetal movements become weaker at 23 weeks of pregnancy. If pregnant women find that fetal movements are frequent or weak, don’t be anxious at first. Frequent and weak fetal movements are very common, but you need to observe and pay attention. If you are still uneasy, you need to see a doctor for examination and listen carefully to the doctor's advice.
