Frequent fetal movements in the third trimester? Do you know what the reasons are related to

Pregnancy fetal movement is a very common thing, but many pregnant mothers will have obvious fetal movements when they reach the third trimester, and frequent fetal movements will always be a little panicked, why? The following will share with you what are the causes of frequent fetal movements in the third trimester.

Fetal movements occur when the fetus collides with the endometrium in the cervix, and the frequency and speed of fetal movements are related to the baby's growth and development. Under normal circumstances, the fetal movement should be at least 3 times in an hour, and the fetal movement should be at least 30 times in 12 hours, and the active baby is likely to achieve 100 fetal movements.

Expectant mothers can distinguish the baby's physical condition according to the frequency and amplitude of fetal movements. If you find that your baby's movements are not regular, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

1.Pregnant mothers are more concentrated

In general, fetal movements are unlikely to be significant during the day, and they are more active at night. Since pregnant mothers are likely to be busy in broad daylight, it is not easy to care about fetal movements. At night, there is nothing to do, the mood is better, and the fetal movement seems to be more frequent.

2.Fetal and baby-themed activities have increased

In the case of late pregnancy, the baby is very active, especially the baby continues to expand, the intraabdominal space is not large, and the baby's simple operation can be recognized by the pregnant mother. For example, playing with the fetal umbilical cord, sucking fingers, and even large human fitness exercises, expectant mothers can feel the endless posture of the baby in the abdomen.

3.Fetal intrauterine hypoxia

In addition to the above three reasons, this situation is important for pregnant mothers to pay attention to, sometimes the baby often moves in the abdomen, due to discomfort, suddenly terminate the fetal movement, it is likely to be due to the fetus intrauterine hypoxia. Especially for babies with fetal umbilical cord around the neck in the early stage, certain attention should be paid in the middle and late stages, which can easily lead to this situation.

All in all, frequent fetal movements in pregnancy are not necessarily bad news, just by grasping the pattern of fetal movements, you can make a reasonable judgment. Within a reasonable range of changes, there is basically no problem, if it is not within the range, we must pay attention to it, go to the hospital in time to check, and prevent it from happening.

The fetal movements are indeed very frequent, because the baby is about to be born. These reasons are that the child's activities are more frequent, the child's size is larger, the child is about to give birth, and the interaction with the mother is more frequent, which will be affected by the mother.

It is very likely that the mother is very busy during the day, and then she is generally very idle at night, so she is particularly concerned about this fetal movement. It may also be because of the lack of oxygen in the baby's uterus, or it may be because the baby is more active, the baby is particularly healthy, and the activities are particularly frequent.

Fetal movements are particularly frequent, which is also normal, which may be related to some sounds from the outside world, or may be related to the mother's body, or may be related to the behavior and habits of pregnant women, or related to the usual activities of pregnant women. It is also related to the emotions of pregnant women.

1. The number of fetal movements in the third trimester is greater than or equal to 30 times in 12 hours, or greater than or equal to 4 times per hour, and expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

Normal pregnant women begin to feel fetal movement at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and with the increase of pregnancy weeks, fetal movement gradually increases, which is the peak at 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, but after 38 weeks of pregnancy, fetal movement will begin to decrease from buried bridge travel.

2. Frequent fetal movements in the third trimester of pregnancy are because the baby is growing up, and the movements are relatively large, generally in the afternoon and evening, the fetal movements will be more frequent, and the pregnant mother can calm down and feel the baby's fetal movements at night, so she will feel that the movements are particularly frequent;

After eating, the blood sugar level in the pregnant mother's body increases and decreases, and the baby also absorbs enough nutrients and becomes stronger, so the fetal movement will become more frequent than before meals.

When expectant parents communicate with their babies through their stomachs, the baby will also respond and express their feelings in the form of fetal movements.

Frequent fetal movements may also be caused by the baby's asphyxia and hypoxia in the womb, such as the umbilical cord is squeezed, which is manifested as a sudden strong fetal movement.

3 According to different times, the number of fetal movements will change, generally speaking, the number of fetal movements at night is more, less in the morning, especially at night before going to bed, the fetus moves the most. When expectant mothers self-measure the number of fetal movements, they should calculate the number of fetal movements in the morning, noon and evening each day, calculate one hour each time, and multiply the sum of the fetal movements by 4 to be 12 hours of fetal movements.

4 Generally speaking, the normal fetal movement per hour is more than 3 times, and the fetal movement is about 30 times in 12 hours, indicating that the fetus is in good condition, but this is also different from person to person, the fetus has large individual differences, some fetuses can move about 100 times in 12 hours, less than 20 times, it means that the fetus may be hypoxic in utero, and less than 10 times indicates that the fetal situation is more dangerous.

What happens to frequent fetal movements in the third trimester? Frequent fetal movements in the third trimester may be normal, but it is also necessary to be alert to fetal intrauterine hypoxia, fetal distress and other diseases, and pregnant women should learn to distinguish and avoid fetal accidents.

Fetal movement is the physical activity of the fetus, pregnant women can often feel fetal movement at about 20 weeks of pregnancy, and gradually increase with the growth of pregnancy time, gradually regular after 28 weeks of pregnancy, reach a peak at 32 and 34 weeks of pregnancy, and gradually decrease after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Fetal movements are more active at night and in the afternoon, and fetal movements disappear during the fetal sleep cycle, which generally lasts 20 to 40 minutes, and the fetal movement cycle is also 20 to 40 minutes. After 28 weeks of pregnancy (that is, the third trimester), the normal number of fetal movements is 10 times for 2 hours, if the fetal fetal movements in the third trimester have been frequent, and no abnormalities are found in each prenatal examination, that is, the fetus is more active, which is normal, and there is no need to worry too much.

If the fetal movement is relatively peaceful, and the fetal movement is sudden and frequent, it may be the early stage of fetal intrauterine hypoxia, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to exclude fetal intrauterine hypoxia fetal intrauterine distress.
