What to do if the fetus does not move at 37 weeks, the fetal heart rate is normal

Ten months of pregnancy for women is actually 40 weeks of pregnancy, which means that by the time of 39 weeks of pregnancy, it has reached the third trimester. At this time, the fetus's movement has generally decreased, because by this time the fetus has entered the pelvis and is actively preparing for childbirth. So what's the deal with the 37-week fetus not moving?

In the third trimester of pregnancy, when labor is approaching, fetal movement will be reduced to a certain extent compared with the second trimester, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the fact that there is a risk of umbilical cord around the neck or fetal intrauterine distress. It is best to check the fetal heartbeat to see if the fetal heartbeat rate is normal, if the fetal heartbeat can be 120 to 160 beats per minute, then the fetus is safe.

In fact, it is normal for the fetus to move less after entering the pelvis in the third trimester. At 32 weeks of gestation, fetal movements are most frequent, and the maximum number of fetal movements per day can reach 1,000 times. As the number of months of pregnancy increases, as the fetus grows older, there will be less and less space in the womb for him to move, so his fetal movements will be less and less frequent than before.

However, if the fetus is deprived of oxygen in the womb, it will also cause fetal movement to decrease and weaken, and expectant mothers should pay attention.

Generally speaking, after 33 weeks of pregnancy, you will begin to feel less fetal movement, but when the hospital checks, you must pay attention to the time of fetal movement, fixed time, morning, noon and evening, must be fixed, if 8 to 9 o'clock in the morning, no 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock at noon, 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock in the afternoon, it doesn't matter if the fetal movement is not less than three times in an hour, if it is two or once, immediately count another hour, if it is still not enough, listen to the fetal heart rate in the nearest hospital to see what is wrong.

The third trimester of pregnancy is from the 28th week of pregnancy to the end of childbirth (to 40 weeks), including the three months of pregnancy: August, September, and October. (30-32 weeks) – After entering the third trimester, the intensity of fetal movements gradually decreases.

The normal number of fetal movements is no less than 3-5 times in 1 hour, and the number of fetal movements is more than 30-40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences in fetuses, some fetuses can move about 100 times in 12 hours, as long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not change much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. If the fetus moves normally, it means that the placenta is functioning well, the oxygen delivered to the fetus is sufficient, and the fetus is growing and developing well in the womb and moving happily.

The most common way to see fetal movements in the third trimester of pregnancy is for men and women: fetal movements on the left are boys, and fetal movements on the right are girls. Frequent fetal movements are boys, less fetal movements are girls, and so on.

However, there is no scientific data to support either claim, and expectant mothers are advised not to be overly superstitious about such claims.

Frequent fetal movements in the third trimester of pregnancy, i.e. 30 or more than or equal to 12 hours or 4 hours are normal, and expectant mothers do not need to worry too much at this time. In fact, normal pregnant women should begin to consciously move at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and with the increase of gestational age, fetal movements will gradually increase, and it is a big peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, but it should be noted that fetal movements will gradually decrease after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Due to individual fetal differences, some fetuses can move about 100 times in 12 hours, but less than 20 times means that the fetus has intrauterine hypoxia.

For normal people, the heart rate indicates the speed of the heartbeat, this indicator can indirectly see a person's basic physical health status, for the fetus, the speed of the heart beat is the fetal heart rate, the same can indirectly reflect the health of the fetus, so, what to do if the fetal heart rate is fast at 37 weeks?

37 weeks of pregnancy is already in the third trimester, close to the delivery period, this period, pregnant women's physical examination is more frequent, because close to delivery, the baby's fetal movement is more obvious, so in order to protect the baby's health pregnant women should do regular examinations, pay attention to the baby's fetal movement fetal heart rate is normal.

In the case of intrauterine distress, most fetuses have already experienced hypoxia, and if it is not resolved in time, the consequences will be very serious. The normal fetal heartbeat is about 120-160 beats per minute, if it is lower than 120 beats per minute or higher than 160 beats per minute, it means that the fetus has a bad situation in the womb and needs attention. Although the fetus in utero hypoxia is the main cause of fetal rapid heartbeat, but there are some reasons that can cause fetal rapid heartbeat, if the mother herself suffers from some diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, the mother's own heartbeat is very fast, then the fetal heartbeat will increase, and if the mother takes some drugs at a certain stage, it will also cause the fetal heartbeat to occur quickly, which needs to be treated differently.

If it is caused by the mother's disease, it is necessary to consult the attending doctor according to the doctor's advice to deal with it, if the fetal heartbeat is abnormal because of some drugs, the situation will improve after stopping the drug, if the abnormality occurs because of the fetus hypoxia in the uterus, then the mother needs to go to the hospital to inhale oxygen, but pay attention to the time of oxygen inhalation, Do not exceed 30 minutes at a time.

Pregnancy is a big event in a woman's life, and after pregnancy, it will attract the attention of the whole family. Pregnant women will be given the treatment of national treasures, although they are protected everywhere at all times, but accidents cannot be avoided. Some babies suddenly do not have a fetal heartbeat, which is painful for pregnant women.

The following are possible causes of fetal cardiac asympathy:

1. Endocrine disorders: In the early stage of embryonic development, it is necessary to balance the levels of three major hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin. If the mother's own endogenous hormones are insufficient to meet the needs of the embryo, it can cause embryo termination and miscarriage.

2. Poor luteal function: Luteal insufficiency can cause endometrial development retardation and short luteal phase, which affects the implantation of fertilized eggs or early pregnancy miscarriage.

3. Uterine abnormalities: unicornuate uterus, double uterus, septal uterus and bicornuate uterus; intrauterine adhesions; Uterine fibroids and endometriosis.

4. Chromosomal factors: genetics is one of the male factors that cause habitual miscarriage, in which male chromosomal abnormalities and balanced translocations can lead to miscarriage of wives.
