Sudden decrease in fetal movement at 5 months of pregnancy

Fetal movement is an indicator of the baby's vitality. As we all know, the baby grows and develops in the mother's abdomen, and the fetal movement will gradually appear after four months. The fetal movement may not be obvious at the beginning, but as the baby grows, the fetal movement should become more and more obvious, and it should be regular. But if the baby's fetal movement suddenly becomes less and less after five months, what's going on?

I am five months pregnant, but my baby's movements are suddenly getting less and less. What's going on?

First of all, we should consider the insensitivity to fetal movements. Secondly, we should rule out whether there are any signs of fetal intrauterine hypoxia. B-ultrasound and fetal movement examinations should be done, otherwise the signs of umbilical cord around the neck and hypoxia are not easy to detect.

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterus. In fact, your baby has already started to move when you are 7-8 weeks pregnant. At the beginning, you may feel very few fetal movements, and the time interval between two fetal movements is also long. In fact, you may feel your baby move a few times one day and not feel it at all the next day. Even though your baby moves regularly and often lifts his legs, many of his movements are not strong enough for you to feel.

After a period of time, his baby's fetal movements will become more obvious and more frequent. By the 28th week of pregnancy, your baby's daily routine is generally more regular, and the regularity of fetal movement will become relatively stable. As a general reference, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of normal fetal movement is about 30 to 40 times within 12 hours. If you still don't feel the baby's fetal movement and you feel very worried, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to make yourself feel relieved.

After the introduction of the above content, I believe everyone has a relevant understanding of the content of fetal movement. The baby's fetal movement can reflect the baby's movement in the mother's abdomen. If the baby is deprived of oxygen in the uterus, it is easy to cause a threat to the baby's life. Therefore, mothers should pay more attention to the baby's abnormal phenomena during the pregnancy process and count the baby's fetal movements.
