What is the baby doing with wavy fetal movements?

When pregnant women reach five months of pregnancy, they can clearly feel the fetal movement of the baby in their belly. Fetal movement can be manifested in many forms. Some fetal movements will be manifested as wave-like fetal movements, shaking up and down like waves, feeling like waves on the beach. Many people don't know what wave-like baby movements are. This article will introduce in detail what wavy baby movements are.

Wave-like fetal movement means that the baby's fetal movement goes from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, showing as wave-like fetal movement. Many people think that a baby with wavy fetal movements is a girl. In fact, scientific research shows that wavy fetal movements do not necessarily mean a girl. The pattern of fetal movement has nothing to do with the baby's gender. The baby's gender is determined by sex chromosomes, and the fetal movement is caused by the movement of the baby in the belly. There is no correlation.

The wave-like fetal movement may be the normal movement of the baby in the mother's belly, which may be side sleeping, upper limb movement, or lower limb movement. It is not certain what kind of movement it is. Wave-like fetal movements may be normal activities of the baby, or they may be a sign of insufficient oxygen for the baby in the uterus. Wavy fetal movements may also be caused by external stimulation of the fetus or by high blood pressure in the mother. Therefore, if the mother does not want wavy fetal movements to occur, it is best to avoid adverse stimulation and ensure her own health.

In general, if pregnant women find that the fetal movement is in a wave-like manner, it is best to adjust their mental state in time and not worry too much. The wave-like fetal movement does not mean that there is a problem with the baby's physical and mental health. They must relax their spirits and maintain a stable mental state.

What does it feel like when your baby moves?

During 18-20 weeks, fetal movements are generally mild, and the fetus's energy is insufficient. The fetal movements are usually like the flapping of butterfly wings, which makes pregnant mothers feel vague. As time goes by, the fetal movements will become more and more frequent, and the fetal movements will gradually become stronger. Pregnant mothers can feel that the fetal movements are periodic. In fact, fetal movements mean that the fetus rolls and sleeps on its side in the pregnant mother's belly. After 29 weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of fetal movements will decrease significantly. This is because the space in the uterus becomes smaller and the fetus's activities are restricted to a certain extent.

How to count fetal movements

Pregnant women can understand the condition of the fetus by counting fetal movements. Count for one hour in the morning, afternoon and night. If you persist for a period of time, you will find the regularity of the fetal movement. It is normal for the fetus to move more than 3 times per hour. The number of fetal movements in the morning, noon and evening is multiplied by 4, which is equal to the number of fetal movements in 12 hours a day. If it is more than 30 times, it means that the fetus is growing and developing well. If it is less than 20 times, it means that the fetal movement is abnormal. It may be fetal intrauterine hypoxia. You should see a doctor in time for relevant examinations.

The feeling of fetal movement is very strange. After 18 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movement will gradually appear. It is not obvious at first. In the second half of pregnancy, the fetal movement will be more obvious. In the late pregnancy, the fetal movement will decrease. Pregnant women should learn to count fetal movements. This method can detect the condition of the fetus. If the fetal movement is strong or weak, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
