Fetal movement in late pregnancy is like waves

The gender of the baby is a focus of concern for most families. Many people think that the gender of the baby can be distinguished based on some characteristics. Some people may ask, if the baby's fetal movement is like wavy patterns, does it mean that it is a girl? In fact, there is no scientific evidence to determine the baby's gender based on fetal movement.

If the baby's fetal movements are like waves, does it mean it's a girl?

The sex of the fetus is determined by genetics. The claim that sex identification of the fetus will affect the frequency, strength and location of fetal movements still needs to be confirmed by the medical community. B-ultrasound examination cannot determine the gender of the fetus with 100% accuracy. It is not scientifically based to judge whether it is a boy or a girl based solely on the baby's fetal movement.

Fetal movement is an effective way for pregnant mothers to recognize their baby. In fact, the baby's fetal movements have already begun around 7 weeks of pregnancy. But this is because the fetus is still small and the pregnant mother cannot feel it. She can only observe the fetal movement through B-ultrasound. The time when pregnant mothers feel the fetal movement varies according to their physical fitness. First-time pregnant mothers usually feel the fetal movement for the first time around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. First-time mothers can feel the baby's movements at 16 to 18 weeks, or even earlier. In fact, as long as the baby's fetal movement occurs not too long in advance, it is normal.

Normal and obvious fetal movement is no less than 3-5 times per hour, and the number of obvious fetal movement is more than 30-40 times in 12 hours. 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.

Therefore, the gender of the fetus has nothing to do with the type of fetal movement. The wavy fetal movement does not indicate whether it is a boy or a girl.

What does it feel like when your baby moves?

The feeling of the first fetal movement: If this is your first pregnancy, you may feel the baby's first movement around 18 to 20 weeks. At first, the baby's fetal movement is faint, like a butterfly flapping its wings. Gradually, you will feel that the baby's fetal movements are becoming stronger and more regular. As your baby grows, you will feel the beats of his movements, and they will become stronger and stronger.

The feeling of fetal movement from 20 to 24 weeks: During these weeks, the baby's fetal movements will become more and more frequent. From now on, until the next dozen weeks, your baby's fetal movements will be very active. He will be busy lifting his legs and doing somersaults in your belly!

The feeling of fetal movement at 24 to 28 weeks: Your baby may have started to hiccup, so you may sometimes feel your abdomen jumping up and down. Your amniotic sac now contains up to 740 ml of amniotic fluid, and the baby can move freely in it. Although your baby has been able to hear sounds for some time, from now on you may notice that your baby jumps in the womb when there are sudden noises outside.
