When they are nine months pregnant, many pregnant women will feel that their fetal movements are more frequent. This is a relatively common phenomenon. There is no need to panic after it happens. It does not mean that the fetus in your belly is in an abnormal condition, but it means that you are about to give birth. At this time, you must be prepared for delivery. Once you feel uterine contractions, you should go to the hospital immediately to wait for delivery so that you can give birth smoothly. If the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours, or less than 3 times per hour, it indicates that the fetus is suffering from hypoxia and its life may be seriously threatened. In the early stages of hypoxia, the number of fetal movements will increase, and the fetus will become restless due to hypoxia. When fetal intrauterine hypoxia continues to worsen, fetal movements gradually weaken and the frequency decreases, which is a sign of danger to the fetus. If no emergency measures are taken at this time, the fetus will stop moving and even its heart rate will disappear, and the heart will stop beating, resulting in death. This process takes about 12 to 48 hours. Therefore, once a pregnant woman finds abnormal fetal movement, she must not take it lightly. She should go to the obstetrics department immediately for treatment. Timely treatment can often turn danger into safety. Normal pregnant women begin to feel fetal movements at 20 weeks of pregnancy. As the gestational age increases, the fetal movements gradually increase, reaching a peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. After 38 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movements begin to decrease gradually. If the fetal movement is greater than or equal to 30 times/12 hours or greater than or equal to 4 times/hour, it is normal. If the fetal movement is less than or equal to 3 times/hour for two consecutive days, it is abnormal, and the fetus is often suspected to be suffering from intrauterine hypoxia and distress. The number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, that the fetus is receiving sufficient oxygen, that the fetus is growing and developing healthily in the uterus, and that the fetus is moving happily. When a pregnant woman finds that the fetus moves less than 20 times in 12 hours, or less than 3 times per hour, it indicates that the fetus is suffering from hypoxia and the life of the baby may be seriously threatened. In the early stages of hypoxia, the number of fetal movements will increase, and the fetus will become restless due to hypoxia. When fetal intrauterine hypoxia continues to worsen, fetal movements gradually weaken and the frequency decreases, which is a sign of danger to the fetus. If no emergency measures are taken at this time, the fetus will stop moving and even its heart rate will disappear, and the heart will stop beating, resulting in death. This process takes about 12 to 48 hours. Therefore, once a pregnant woman finds abnormal fetal movement, she must not take it lightly. She should go to the obstetrics department immediately for treatment. Timely treatment can often turn danger into safety. |
