What is the feeling of pregnant fetal movement? In the late pregnancy, we must learn to count the fetal movement correctly, so that we can monitor the baby's physical condition at any time.
How long does pregnancy have fetal movement
General pregnant women. You can feel the obvious fetal movement when you are five months pregnant, but the specific time varies from person to person. Some people may feel the first fetal movement at 16 weeks or 17 weeks earlier. Some people may feel the first fetal movement later. It is normal to feel the first fetal movement around 20 weeks.
Fetal movement refers to the active movement of the fetus in the mother's uterus, such as breathing, mouth movement, rolling movement, etc. If it is a passive movement caused by the mother's cough, breathing and other actions, it is not considered fetal movement. Fetal movement is one of the objective signs of fetal life. It can not only establish a close relationship with the mother to be, but also express the growth and development of the fetus in the uterus. It is a signal sent by the fetus to the mother. The number, speed and strength of fetal movement often indicate the safety of the fetus.
The first fetal movement is also very subtle. It may not be easy to detect, but the fetal movement will be more and more intense, but just a few weeks before labor, because the fetal development is very large and the space in the uterine cavity is relatively small, the fetal movement in the third trimester will be reduced. In the early stage of pregnancy, the embryo is still very small, so the pregnant mother can't feel the fetal movement. As long as she can see the delicate activity of the fetus through B-ultrasound, the pregnant woman can't detect the first fetal movement until the second trimester.
