I can t feel the fetal movement after 4 and a half months of pregnancy, is this abnormal?

Fetal movement is a common phenomenon, and the fetus burps, stretches its hands, kicks its legs, and rolls over in the mother's belly, giving the pregnant woman this wonderful feeling. But some fetuses are so active that sometimes the mother's belly rises high.

However, there are expectant mothers who do not feel fetal movement even after 4 or 5 months of pregnancy. Whenever I see other prospective mothers' circle of friends sharing their fetal movements**or**, I am even more anxious. Today we will analyze the causes of late fetal movement of prospective mothers.

Doesn't the pregnant woman feel that the fetal movement is slow? Don't worry, it may be due to these reasons.

1. Expectant mothers are too anxious:

In general, whether there is only one child in the womb or twins, most fetal reactions begin at 18 to 20 weeks after pregnancy. In fact, some primiparous pregnant women do not feel significant fetal movements until 24-26 weeks of pregnancy. Because the appearance time of Taedong also varies from person to person depending on the physique.

Many expectant mothers rush to the hospital for examination, worried that something will happen to them. In fact, in general, as long as the pregnant woman remains healthy, one day the fetus will greet her through the belly.

2. The fat in the stomach is too thick.

As the fetus grows longer and the demand for energy increases, so does the amount of food that expectant mothers eat. In order to absorb enough nutrients for the fetus, the family often prepares food for the mother who changes shape. Over time, many expectant mothers also accumulate more and more meat in their stomachs.

Some people think that they have more meat in their stomachs, which is produced when the child grows up. In fact, the weight of the fetus during 7 months of pregnancy is only about 2 3 pounds. If the fat in the belly is too thick, it will not only oppress the child, but also affect the "communication" between the child and the mother's belly.

If the expectant mother eats too much and does not like to exercise, it is easy to accumulate a layer of fat in the stomach. At this time, even if your child is dancing in the belly, you will not feel it too obviously. At the same time, the belly of some expectant mothers is not small at all, but this is also the reason why there has been no "bulging".

3. Positive question:

There is not only a layer of fat between the fetus and the belly of the pregnant woman, but also a large piece of amniotic fluid. If there is too much amniotic fluid in the stomach, the fetal movement will not be as noticeable. In particular, chubby primiparous pregnant women mistook fetal movements for a disguised peristalsis process because they were inexperienced.

Finally, polyhydramnios is not a good thing. Long-term exceeding the normal standard (amniotic fluid index greater than 25) can lead to problems such as premature fetal birth, placental abruption, and fetal malformations. Therefore, if this problem is detected through a hospital examination, pregnant women should follow the doctor's instructions to undergo various tests to avoid abnormal fetal development.

Pregnancy 4 and a half months still can not feel fetal movement, this is relatively normal, this is also related to personal growth and development has a certain relationship, 4 months the child may not have developed to a certain extent, there is no fetal movement at that time, and when he grows up, there will be.

Fetal movement occurs around 18 to 20 weeks, the fetal movement is very weak at the beginning, if it is a multiparous woman, it will feel the fetal movement a little earlier, and the fetal movement of the primiparous woman can not be felt at least 19 to 20 weeks, so it is normal to not feel the fetal movement in the fourth month of pregnancy. Fetal movement and fetal factors are related to external factors, and it is normal for some to appear late and feel light. It is necessary to have a good pregnancy check-up, and if the fetus is developing normally, there is no problem.

It is normal for a pregnant woman to have a different physique and feel a large difference in the time of fetal movement, and it is normal to have no fetal movement in four and a half months, but it is necessary to do a regular prenatal examination for pregnant women in advance to observe the development of the fetus.

If it is the first pregnancy of a primiparous woman, then the fetal movement feeling time is about 18 weeks, that is, the early fetal movement is relatively gentle, just like a goldfish spitting bubbles, if you don't carefully identify it, you will think that it is gastrointestinal peristalsis or think it is intestinal sounds, so it is not easy to detect fetal movement. However, by the time of 5 months of pregnancy, these fetal movements are very obvious, so don't be too nervous and relax when you don't feel very sensitive in the early stages.

Hello, the torso and limbs of the fetus begin to move around 16-18 weeks of gestation, but the amplitude is so small that the pregnant woman does not notice. As the fetus grows and develops, the amount and range of exercise during pregnancy increase to a certain level, and the pregnant woman can only notice it. At this point, the pregnant woman will feel as if something is bumping against her abdomen.

As the gestation months increase, the fetal movements become more pronounced, and by the end of pregnancy, the fetal movements are generally 3-5 times per hour.

Because the activity of the fetus and the sensitivity of pregnant women to fetal movement are very different, so the time of pregnant women to perceive fetal movement is also different, more careful pregnant women, can feel fetal movement as early as 16 weeks of pregnancy, most pregnant women are noticed at about 18 weeks, only a few pregnant women feel fetal movement at 20 weeks of pregnancy. If the fetal movement is not noticed after 5 months of pregnancy, or the number of fetal movements decreases, the fetal movement becomes weaker or disappears, it should be paid attention to and should be immediately examined by the hospital to confirm the fetal condition.

The reason why the fetus cannot be felt in the 4th month of pregnancy is mainly because the fetus is small at this time, and the amniotic fluid volume is more, so the fetus has less amplitude and strength, which cannot make the pregnant woman feel better. Generally speaking, when a pregnant woman reaches about 20 weeks of pregnancy, she can begin to feel fetal movements, and as the gestational age increases, the fetal movement will become more and more obvious. Usually in the second and third trimesters, it is necessary to count the fetal movements regularly every day, so as to effectively determine the intrauterine situation according to the frequency of fetal movements.

Fetal movements usually occur more than four months of pregnancy and are common between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. After 18 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman should have fetal movements, which means that the fetus is located in the uterine cavity of the pregnant woman for activity, and the impact on the uterine wall will cause the pregnant woman to feel the beating of the abdomen, but when the fetal movement has just begun, it may not be obvious, so some people will not feel it, so don't worry, you can observe for a few days.

As the number of months increases and the fetus grows, the pregnant woman can visibly feel the baby's movements in the abdomen. If you don't feel the fetal movement, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.

What happens if I can't feel fetal movement at 4 months pregnant? If you can't feel fetal movement in 4 months of pregnancy, you should first do B ultrasound to check the fetal heartbeat, if the baby's fetal heartbeat is developing normally, it means that there is no problem. The fetal movement of the primiparous mother can only be felt at 19 20 weeks, so in the 4th month of pregnancy, if you can't feel the fetal movement, you don't need to be too nervous, the fetal fetal movement has a certain degree of relationship with external factors, if the usual amount of exercise is too large or too nervous, the number of fetal movements is more, and the number of fetal movements will also be more obvious after lying down at night.

Go to the hospital regularly for prenatal checkups, and if you feel that there is a problem, you can go directly to the hospital, and you can do fetal heart rate monitoring.
