What exactly does fetal movement really feel like? What it s like to have a fetal movement

After pregnancy, as the fetus gradually takes shape, the mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger. At a certain month, the fetus is able to move. It is also possible for pregnant mothers to feel the fetal movement. So what does fetal movement feel like? Let's take a look.

So what is fetal movement?

When the fetus reaches the age of four months and enters the fifth month, that is, after the 16th week of pregnancy, expectant mothers can gradually feel the activity of the fetus as it moves in the womb against the uterine wall.

In fact, at 7 or 8 weeks, the germ in the womb begins to move, but at that time, the expectant mother has no way to feel the movement. At that time, the child is like, "Hey, Mom, I'm starting to grow up, do you feel it?" ”

However, some expectant mothers will find that the number of fetal movements in the belly during this period is not regular, because before 28 weeks, although the number of fetal activities increases significantly, they cannot grasp the regularity of fetal movements, which is a normal phenomenon. As long as the fetus is moving every day, expectant mothers can rest assured.

In the second trimester, the child is the most dishonest in the womb, so the expectant mothers will also feel the fetal movements most frequently. They will "flip and jump" in the womb in various ways, as if the womb is their own "playground": sometimes they suddenly jump, as if they were startled by something; Sometimes I just started gymnastics, stretching my arms and legs; They try everything they can in a fresh way, which can leave mothers-to-be helpless.

At the 28th week of pregnancy, the fetus's activities begin to become regular, and mothers-to-be should start to keep the fetus's movements in check. With the increase of amniotic fluid slippery, the child's activities have become more comfortable and have begun to perceive the outside world.

Expectant mothers can take advantage of this time to "communicate" with their children, such as stroking their belly and putting some relaxing and soothing **, so that their children can feel more.

But as the child grows older, the space that can be given to them in the third trimester becomes smaller and smaller, so the child has to "have an opinion" in the womb.

Begin to adjust their posture in the womb, curl up with their heads down, prepare for the new world, and stretch their "long legs", if they are not careful, the expectant mothers may be kicked to pain. It's like saying, "Mom, it's too crowded here!"

I'm going to get ready to come out! ”

Due to the limited space, the fetal movement will also decrease in the late trimester, at this time the expectant mothers should not relax the attention to the fetal movement, if the fetus is found to be restless on a certain day, the number of fetal movements becomes obviously abnormal, it is likely that the fetus has intrauterine distress, to go to the hospital for examination.
