29 weeks fetal movement decreases and becomes gentle

The physical condition of the fetus during pregnancy is usually understood through the fetal movement. Because the fetus's condition is also very complicated, if there are abnormalities in the normal fetal movement, we should pay high attention and grasp it in time. So what's the matter with less fetal movement at 29 weeks of pregnancy? Let's take a look with the editor.

1. What is going on when the baby's fetal movement becomes very weak at 29 weeks of pregnancy?

Normally, the baby's fetal movement is not less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30 to 40 times. However, due to the large individual differences between fetuses, some fetuses move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular and rhythmic, with little change, it proves that the baby's development is normal. The baby's fetal movement is normal, indicating that the placenta is functioning well and the oxygen transported to the fetus is sufficient. The fetus is growing and developing well in the uterus and is moving happily.

The frequency of fetal movement is not constant. It is the most active stage of fetal movement at 28-38 weeks of pregnancy, and then it becomes slightly weaker until delivery. The pregnant woman's exercise, posture, mood, loud noise, strong light and touching the abdomen can all cause changes in fetal movement. In the early stage of hypoxia, it is mostly manifested as frequent fetal movement. As the hypoxia time increases and intensifies, the fetal movement will gradually decrease. At this stage, the fetal movement decreases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to understand whether the fetus has hypoxia. Fatigue, hunger, etc. can also reduce fetal movement. Generally, it will be relieved after rest and eating. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination first and deal with any abnormalities properly.

2. How much fetal movement does a baby have to be considered physically and mentally healthy?

Pregnant mothers should measure the fetal movements for 3 hours a day, 1 hour each in the morning, afternoon and evening. Multiply the number of fetal movements measured three times by 4 as a 12-hour fetal movement record.

If it is less than 3 times per hour, you need to increase the measurement time to 6 to 12 hours a day. A decrease or cessation of fetal movement may indicate that the fetus in the uterus is experiencing a lack of oxygen. If you do not feel the baby's fetal movement within 12 hours, or the fetal movement is less than 4 times a day, or it is reduced by more than half compared with the previous day, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

The above is what the editor has prepared for everyone about why there is less fetal movement at 26 weeks of pregnancy, and how much fetal movement is generally healthy. I hope it can provide some help to mothers who have concerns about these aspects. The baby's fetal movement is indeed not stable and unchangeable, but there are regularities to follow. I hope mothers can master more professional knowledge in this area.
