What to do if the fetal movement is irregular

As the fetus grows, the number of fetal movements will increase, but usually the daily fetal movements are relatively regular. Therefore, if pregnant women feel that the fetal movement is abnormal, they will be more worried, fearing that there is something wrong with the fetus in the mother's body. What should I do if the fetal movement is irregular? The fetal movement may change with the mood of the pregnant woman. Let’s find out what to do if the fetal movement is abnormal.

1. What to do if the fetal movement is abnormal at 8 months of pregnancy

In the later stages of pregnancy, many mothers will experience abnormal fetal movements due to various reasons. So, what should I do if the fetal movement is abnormal at 8 months of pregnancy?

Fetal movement is different for everyone. The frequency, strength, and time period of each fetus' movement will be different. However, in most cases, the fetus moves most frequently between 28 and 32 weeks. The most important thing is that mothers should learn how to take appropriate measures after abnormal fetal movement to prevent the situation from getting worse or even endangering the baby's life.

First of all, of course, prevention is better than cure. Because whether the fetal movement is abnormal varies from person to person, expectant mothers must be careful and record the baby's fetal movement at random to facilitate regular comparison and detect abnormal problems. Secondly, if the fetal movement suddenly accelerates, we can preliminarily judge that the expectant mother may have suffered a violent collision. This impact can have a great impact on the child, so seek medical attention in time. Furthermore, if the fetal movement is rapid and then stops suddenly, the expectant mother must pay attention. This is most likely because the fetus's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck or body. This is a very dangerous situation and pregnant mothers must go to the hospital for examination.

I would also like to remind all mothers to keep a good mood and look forward to the arrival of their baby. No matter what happens, generally speaking, timely and correct treatment and care will not affect the health of the fetus. Therefore, mothers should maintain a certain level of vigilance but not worry too much.

2. Is it normal for fetal movement to decrease in 8 months of pregnancy?

As we all know, fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the mother's belly. Eight months of pregnancy is already in the late stage of pregnancy, so any abnormal phenomenon of the baby will make the mother worried. So, is it normal for fetal movement to decrease in 8 months of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, fetal movements are relatively frequent during the eighth month of pregnancy, which is normal. Fetal movements gradually increase as pregnancy progresses, reaching a peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, and gradually decrease after 38 weeks. Normal fetal movements are 3-5 times per hour. However, the fetal movement situation is slightly different for each mother. In fact, as long as the baby's fetal movement is regular and not suddenly increasing or decreasing, it is generally normal. Moreover, pregnancy is basically relatively stable after eight months, so it is normal for fetal movements to decrease a little. Of course, if the mother is still worried, go to the hospital for a check-up! Avoid the mother from panicking, because if she panics, she may be stimulated and faint, which is very dangerous. In short, for pregnant women in their eighth month, a decrease in fetal movement is a normal phenomenon, so don’t have any bad mental state, and be sure to keep a normal mind, so that you will feel more at ease during the delivery process.

But mothers should pay attention that if the fetal movement has always been normal and regular, if the frequency of fetal movement suddenly decreases, you must go to the hospital to confirm whether the baby's fetal position is normal.
