How often is it normal for the fetus to move?

Pregnant women will experience fetal movements in the early stages of pregnancy. The size and frequency of fetal movements are different at different times of pregnancy. The fetal movements will be relatively weak at the beginning, and will be stronger after 10 weeks of pregnancy. These are all very normal phenomena. In order to understand the health status of the fetus, many indicators need to be checked, and fetal movement is one of them. What is the normal frequency of fetal movement in pregnant women?

How often is it normal for the fetus to move?

Under normal circumstances, the fetus moves at least 3 to 5 times in 1 hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours is more than 30 to 40 times. Some fetuses can move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. The number of fetal movements is not constant. During the 28th to 38th week of pregnancy, the fetal movement is active, and then it weakens slightly until delivery. The pregnant woman's movement, posture, emotions, loud noises, strong light, and touching the abdomen can all cause changes in fetal movement.

Under normal circumstances, fetal movements are 3-5 times per hour. Frequent fetal movements do not rule out the possibility of fetal intrauterine hypoxia, so you need to be vigilant.

Guidance:

It is recommended to go to the obstetrics department of the hospital as soon as possible. Fetal heart rate monitoring is required to determine whether there are any abnormalities in the fetal heart rate. Oxygen inhalation and symptomatic treatment are required if necessary.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up in time.

Guidance:

This is not a big problem. It is recommended to have regular prenatal checkups and timely nutrition supplements. This will be better.

Within a day, the normal frequency and number of fetal movements are generally 3 to 5 times per hour, and about 50 to 70 times in 12 hours. However, it is least in the early morning, increases after 6 pm, and is most active between 8 and 11 pm. There are many ways for the fetus to move, such as sticking out the butt, turning over, somersaults, moving the arms, kicking the legs, shaking the head, burping, and sucking the fingers.

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity that impacts the uterine wall. After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, from the 5th month, the mother can clearly feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches its hands, kicks its legs, and hits the uterine wall in the uterus. This is fetal movement. The number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, that the fetus is receiving sufficient oxygen, that the fetus is growing and developing healthily in the uterus, and that the fetus is moving happily.
