Decreased fetal movement at 30 weeks of pregnancy

Every change in the baby's growth in the belly is remembered by the mother, and fetal movement is also a very important change in the baby's healthy growth. When the mother feels the fetal movement, it is also a signal for the baby to communicate directly with the mother. As the pregnancy progresses, the signs of fetal movement will become more frequent. However, at a certain period, some pregnant women find that the signs of fetal movement in their bodies have inexplicably decreased. Is this a normal phenomenon?

What is the reason for the sudden decrease in fetal movement at 30 weeks of pregnancy?

Generally, there will be more fetal movements in the middle of pregnancy and less in the late pregnancy. If the fetal movement increases, decreases or increases significantly, you should go to the hospital for a check-up as it may be due to hypoxia. The specific situation needs to be checked in detail at the hospital.

The nutritional needs of the fetus reach their peak in the late pregnancy. At this time, you need to consume a lot of protein, vitamin C, folic acid, B vitamins, iron and calcium. You should drink more milk, preferably two glasses (500 ml) a day. Pregnant women who don’t like drinking milk can also drink soy milk and eat more tofu, kelp and seaweed. These foods are also high in calcium, especially kelp and seaweed, which are rich in iodine, which is beneficial to fetal development.
