What does it feel like to have a 7 month fetal movement?

During the ten months of pregnancy, women should have regular prenatal checkups to detect problems in a timely manner. Pregnant women will have different reactions at different stages, especially paying attention to the occurrence and frequency of fetal movements. However, for women who are pregnant with their first child, they may not know what fetal movement is. So what does fetal movement feel like at 7 months? The fetal movement at 7 months is already very obvious to pregnant women, and the feeling is also very strong.

What does it feel like to have a 7 month fetal movement?

1. Whole body movement

Under normal circumstances, a 7-month-old fetus will perform whole-body movements, limb movements, lower limb movements, and chest wall movements in the woman's uterus. Whole-body exercise is a type of exercise with relatively strong force. This type of fetal movement is usually the strongest felt by expectant mothers, and can last up to 30 seconds.

2. Chest wall exercise

Chest wall movement is a relatively short-lived and weak fetal movement that most expectant mothers cannot actually detect. This chest wall movement is easiest to feel right before bed.

3. The limbs move faster but with less strength

In addition, the fetus's daily limb movements, such as stretching its arms, twisting its body, and kicking its legs, are relatively fast, but the force is relatively weak. Therefore, expectant mothers can only truly feel them when they calm down.

4. Individual differences cannot be ruled out

In fact, due to individual differences, such as the sensitivity of the expectant mother, the activity of the fetus, etc., the fetal movement felt by each expectant mother is different.

For expectant mothers, self-observation of fetal movements is a very good way to determine whether the fetal movements are normal. It is recommended to check once in the morning, noon, and evening every day. The inspection cycle should be one hour each time. Then multiply the number of fetal movements three times by 4. This way, you can judge whether the baby's fetal movements are normal. When observing fetal movements, it is recommended that you count them calmly, because some fetuses are very naughty and may move several times without you noticing, and then stop moving when you really want to record them. Generally speaking, obstetricians and gynecologists will ask 7-month pregnant mothers to use a 24-hour cycle to determine whether the fetal movement is normal. Here is a reminder that if the fetal movement shows the following symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for timely examination.
