Is it normal to have uncomfortable fetal movements?

Under normal circumstances, mothers will feel that fetal movement is very happy and warm, and there will be no other symptoms. However, some fetal movements will make mothers feel very uncomfortable, and there will be a feeling of fetal movement in the belly, or even inexplicable irritability. At this time, you should check if there is abdominal pain. In addition, it is not ruled out that the fetal movement is more restless due to the physical constitution of the pregnant woman.

Etiology and pathogenesis

Kidney deficiency

Insufficient kidney qi or excessive sexual intercourse after pregnancy can damage kidney qi, causing the Chong and Ren meridians to become weak and the fetus to lose its support, resulting in fetal movement disorder.

Qi deficiency

Pregnant women with weak constitutions, or who have overeaten, which damages their spleen, or who have a serious illness that damages their vital energy, may suffer from Qi deficiency and loose Chong and Ren meridians, causing the fetus to lose its balance and move restlessly.

Blood deficiency

The body is deficient in yin and blood, or long-term illness consumes blood and damages yin, or the spleen and stomach are weak after pregnancy, nausea is severe, the source of metabolism is insufficient and blood is deficient. Blood deficiency means less blood in the Chong and Ren meridians, the fetus is not nourished, and it causes fetal movement disorder.

Blood heat

Pregnant women have excessive yang in their constitution, or liver depression turns into heat, or they eat too much spicy and dry food that boosts yang, or they are infected with external pathogenic heat, which leads to excessive yang and blood heat, heat disturbing the Chong and Ren meridians, damaging the fetal qi, and causing fetal movement disorders.

trauma

If you are not careful during pregnancy, such as falling or spraining, or climbing high or carrying heavy things, or overwork, these will cause disorder of Qi and blood, imbalance of Chong and Ren meridians, inability to carry and nourish the fetus, and cause fetal movement disorder.

Masses and tumors can harm the fetus

Pregnant women have chronic diseases, which cause blood stasis in the uterine vessels. After pregnancy, the Chong and Ren meridians are out of balance, blood cannot return to the meridians, the fetus is not nourished, and the fetus is restless.

Syndrome differentiation and treatment

Overview

The main symptoms of this disease are low back pain, abdominal pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Therefore, in the diagnosis, we should pay attention to the nature and degree of low back and abdominal pain, the amount, color, quality and other signs of vaginal bleeding, as well as the accompanying symptoms, tongue and pulse, and conduct a comprehensive analysis to guide treatment. For those with a history of trauma, other illnesses, or medication, the principle of whether to preserve the fetus or abort the fetus should be determined based on the condition of the fetus. The main method for stabilizing pregnancy is to tonify the kidney and strengthen the Chong meridian, and it is supplemented by methods such as invigorating qi, nourishing blood, and clearing away heat according to different situations. In general, it is advisable to treat the disease based on syndrome differentiation. If after treatment the lower back pain and abdominal pain worsen, vaginal bleeding increases, and the fetus is difficult to retain, the fetus should be aborted and the mother should be benefited.
