    Expert Q&A. Is it normal for the fetal movement not to be obvious at four and a half months of pregnancy.

    Yuan Cheng Kun. Deputy Chief Physician.

    Department of Obstetrics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

    If the fetal movements are frequent and regular, then there is generally no problem, but if the number of fetal movements is very disordered, considering that the umbilical cord may be around the neck, then the pregnant woman should go to the hospital for examination in time to ensure the safety of the fetus.

    Pregnant women begin to consciously move at 18 to 20 weeks of gestation, and the more weeks of gestation, the fetal movement reaches a peak at 28 to 32 weeks, and gradually decreases after 38 weeks. Pregnant women who give birth for the first time usually feel fetal movement at 20 weeks, but for multiparous women, they can feel fetal movement as early as 16 weeks due to an experience that they have already had once.

    The fetal movement at the four and a half months of pregnancy is not very stable, sometimes frequent, and infrequently, but as long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and does not change much, it proves that the fetal development is normal, and the pregnant woman does not need to worry too much about the growth of the fetus. If the fetal movement is extremely active, the pregnant woman should go to the hospital in time.

    Hello! Fetal movement is the most wonderful moment experienced by every pregnant mother during pregnancy, and fetal movement is also a certificate for pregnant mothers to determine whether the fetus is healthy or not.

    Under normal circumstances, the first time a pregnant mother feels fetal movement, most of them are around 18 to 20 weeks. Now you are only 16 weeks pregnant, and you may have a thick belly or a sensitive constitution, so it is normal not to feel fetal movement for the time being.

    At the beginning, the fetal movement felt by the pregnant mother is very weak, and it feels similar to a small fish swimming in the stomach.

    In fact, the pregnant mother does not need to be anxious, and when the pregnancy is 4 months old, and at the beginning of the 5th month, the pregnant mother should be able to clearly feel the fetal movement, and the fetus will reach out, kick, and turn over in the womb.

    At that time, the pregnant mother will have to learn to count the fetal movements, and the number of fetal movements, the speed and slowness, the strength and weakness will form a rule. Regular fetal movements indicate that the fetus is developing healthily.

    Normal obvious fetal movements should not be less than 3-5 times in 1 hour. The number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30 to 40 times. If the pregnant mother finds that the fetal movement frequency suddenly accelerates and does not stop, this may be an early manifestation of fetal hypoxia, and she should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately, don't delay.

    I wish the pregnant mother a good pregnancy!

    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 so obvious. In particular, chubby primiparous pregnant women mistook fetal movements for camouflaged peristalsis processes because they were inexperienced.

    Finally, polyhydramnios is not a good thing. Long-term excess of 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 undergo various tests as directed by their doctor to avoid abnormal fetal development.

    Fetal movement occurs around 18 to 20 weeks, the fetal movement is very weak at the beginning, if the fetal movement is felt a little earlier by multiparous women, the fetal movement of primiparous women can be felt at least at 19 to 20 weeks, so it is normal not to feel 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 do a good pregnancy check-up, and if the fetus is developing normally, there is no problem.

    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 a bowel sound, 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.

    Under normal circumstances, you can feel fetal movement in 4-5 months of pregnancy, and even some can not feel it in more than 3 months of pregnancy, and the feeling is different for each person. So don't worry, if you are not at ease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a re-examination of color ultrasound to understand the fetal situation.

    4 months of pregnancy, that is, around 16 weeks of pregnancy, there is a prenatal check-up. The examination includes general examinations such as blood pressure, weight, blood routine, and urine routine of the mother. At 16-18 weeks of pregnancy, there is a particularly important test that should not be forgotten, and that is the Down syndrome screening.

    Young mothers are screened for biochemical Down syndrome, which is more accurate to determine the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities based on the mother's estrogen, HCG, and AFP ratios. For elderly mothers over 35 years old, it is recommended to do non-invasive DNA testing, which is slightly more accurate than biochemical and Down screening, and determines the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities by detecting the fetal DNA in the mother's blood. For women over 40 years of age or those who are biochemically screened and non-invasive for DNA, further amniocentesis is done as a confirmation of the diagnosis.

    In addition to prenatal examination in the 4th month of pregnancy, we should also pay attention in life, when the belly has been significantly enlarged or has been pregnant, we should pay attention not to bump and squeeze, and pay attention to the safety of walking and sleeping.
