Some pregnant women experience frequent fetal movements a few days before delivery. Is this normal?

Are the fetal movements frequent in the days before delivery?

Fetal movement, that is, the movement state of the fetus, has been introduced many times before. I believe that everyone has some understanding of this aspect. Some pregnant women will experience strong fetal movements before delivery. So, what is fetal movement before delivery? What should I do if the fetus moves strongly before delivery? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

What is pre-labor fetal movement

Before delivery, the pregnant mother's body and mood are undergoing a big change, and the fetus is also actively adjusting its physical condition to welcome the arrival of his new life. At this time, the fetus has descended into the mother's pelvis. The pregnant mother's abdomen will be much more relaxed, the pressure on the chest will be less than before, and breathing will be smoother.

At this time, some pregnant mothers will feel that the fetal movement is gradually decreasing, while some pregnant mothers will feel that the fetal movement is increasing instead. The fetus kicks irregularly in the mother's belly, sometimes it may kick on the right, and sometimes it may kick on the left, which depends on the position of the fetus. And if the abdominal wall is relatively thin, you can even feel the baby's hands and feet when the baby moves. This usually happens at night, often when you are lying in bed preparing to rest.

What to do if the fetus moves strongly before delivery

Generally, the later the baby is in development, the more fetal movements you will feel. If you feel a lot of fetal movements, it is because the baby is older and his movements are larger. Generally, the baby will have more fetal movements in the afternoon and evening. So generally speaking, fetal movements in the late pregnancy are more intense. The baby's fetal movement is related to its health condition. Pregnant women can feel fetal movement during 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. The longer the pregnancy lasts, the more active the fetal movements become, but in the late stages of pregnancy, the fetal movements decrease. If your child moves very frequently and suddenly stops moving, you need to pay attention. If a pregnant woman suddenly feels an increase or decrease in the number of fetal movements, it may be due to intrauterine hypoxia. She should seek medical attention in time to rule out accidents.

Fetal movement is the main indicator for determining the safety of the fetus in the womb. Pregnant women should measure fetal movements in the morning, noon and evening for one hour each. Add up the number of measurements and multiply by 4. 30-40 times every 12 hours is normal, and the minimum should not be less than 15 times.

The above is some information that the editor introduced to you about the strong fetal movements in the few days before delivery. I hope it will be helpful to you. Generally speaking, this phenomenon is relatively normal, so pregnant women don’t need to worry too much. Just stay calm and go to the hospital in time to see a doctor for relevant treatments.
