Is it normal to have no fetal movements at 18 weeks of pregnancy

Normal, the fetal movement usually takes 5-6 months. There will be fetal movements around 20 weeks. Eighteen weeks may still be early. I myself didn't have a baby until I was 20 months old.

Every pregnant girl will be very excited when she feels the baby's fetal movement for the first time, so is it normal to have no fetal movement at 18 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Is it normal to have no fetal movement at 18 weeks of pregnancy?

In fact, after 24 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movement will be relatively obvious, although it is possible to have fetal movement at 18 weeks of pregnancy, but this needs to be decided according to each person's system, and some pregnant women will have a relatively early fetal movement.

Therefore, even if there is no fetal movement at 18 weeks of pregnancy, it does not matter, you just need to know that the fetus is healthy after the examination.

2. What are the signs of fetal arrest at 18 weeks of pregnancy?

1. The amount of amniotic fluid is abnormal.

Amniotic fluid is a very important factor to maintain the healthy growth of the baby, if there is too much or too little amniotic fluid, it will also affect the baby's health, so the amount of amniotic fluid is also a point that mothers need to pay attention to.

2. Inexplicable pain in the stomach.

If a pregnant woman feels pain in her stomach at the time of pregnancy, and the whole person is uncomfortable, she must seek medical attention in time to do a physical examination to understand the specific situation of the baby.

3. The baby's fetal movement is reduced.

If the baby's fetal movements are usually relatively large, but suddenly decrease one day, then you should be vigilant, which may be a sign that the fetus has stopped developing.

It is normal to not feel fetal movement at 18 weeks, and the so-called fetal movement is the activity of the fetus in the mother's body. As the gestational age gradually increases, the fetus gradually increases, and the space for the fetus to move in the womb will gradually increase. In this case, when the fetus's limbs begin to stretch in the womb, most mothers can feel the fetus moving in the womb around 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Under normal circumstances, at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy is the time when fetal movements are most frequent, and then as the fetus continues to grow, the volume of the uterine cavity is limited, and the amniotic fluid will gradually decrease, in this case, the fetal movement will gradually decrease in the third trimester. Therefore, at 18 weeks of pregnancy, if you can't feel the fetal movement, it is very normal, this situation is not too worrying, you can continue to wait, about another 1-2 weeks, the vast majority of women can feel the fetal movement.

Normal, generally around 18 weeks of pregnancy, the number of fetal movements is still unstable, so the fetal movement will appear more and sometimes less, and the sudden increase or decrease of fetal movement indicates that the fetus is hypoxic in utero, as long as the fetal movement is regular, the change is not large, even if it is normal. However, if there is a sudden lack of fetal movement for a long time or very rapid and frequent fetal movements, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to prevent excessive hypoxia of the fetus.

At 28 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus will gradually develop regular work and rest habits, and the number of fetal movements will be relatively stable. Normally, the number of fetal movements at 28 weeks of pregnancy is about 30-40 times in 12 hours. The fetus has its own sleep rules, so there are certain changes in the strength and frequency of fetal movements in the day, the number of times in the morning is less, after 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the fetal movements are most active at 8-11 o'clock in the evening.

In addition, the number of fetal movements is affected by many factors. Some pregnant mothers will find that when they are busy, the number of fetal movements will be less; And when you sit down and relax, the number of fetal movements will increase significantly. These are all normal phenomena.

Hello: Your case is that you have recently felt the beginning of fetal movements, and the period of 16 to 20 weeks of pregnancy is just beginning to be able to perceive fetal movements.

At this time, the baby's exercise is not very large, and the action is not intense, pregnant mothers usually feel that the fetal movement at this time is like a fish swimming, or "gurgling" spitting bubbles, and flatulence, gastrointestinal peristalsis or hungry feeling is a bit similar, inexperienced pregnant mothers often can't tell the difference.

At this time, the position of fetal movement is closer to the belly button. But. Be.

There are also cases as follows:

Decreased or stopped fetal movements may indicate that the baby in the womb is deprived of oxygen. If you do not feel any movement within 12 hours, or if the movement is less than 4 times in 1 day, or if it has decreased by more than half compared to the previous day, you should go to the hospital immediately.

Best wishes. Good luck ......
