How many times does the fetus burp a day?
It doesn't have to be like this. It varies from person to person. Fetal burping is a normal phenomenon. At present, we must pay attention to rest in the late pregnancy, don't have sex, it's too tired. It is suggested to strengthen nutrition and check regularly.
By the end of the 28th week of pregnancy, the fetus will continue to swallow the amniotic fluid of the mother to exercise the breathing of the lungs, and the alveoli will continue to grow in the amniotic fluid. Just like adults are eating, they keep swallowing. There is a cap-thick muscle membrane between the chest and abdominal cavity of the fetus, called diaphragm, which separates the chest and abdominal cavity. Like other organs in the body, the diaphragm has nerve distribution and blood supply. When the stimulus that causes hiccups reaches the brain, the brain will give instructions to make the diaphragm contract paroxysmally and spasmodically, so hiccups will occur.
Fetal burping is actually a regular movement of the fetus in the mother's abdomen, once every 2-3 seconds, lasting 2-5 minutes, and sometimes lasting 10-20 minutes.
Fetal hiccups are characterized by jumping, similar to heartbeat. Expectant mothers will bounce when they touch the beating place, which is very regular and different from fetal movement. Mothers can tell if they feel it carefully. Sometimes the fetus burps in the middle of the night and sometimes in the morning. Touch him gently at this moment, and he will stop snoring after a few minutes.
Causes of fetal hiccups
Scientists believe that fetal burping is probably an early manifestation of breastfeeding, just as children learn to crawl before learning to walk. Babies suck milk much like burps. When muscles move, the glottis close to prevent milk from entering the lungs. Therefore, pregnant mothers don't have to be too nervous, do relevant physical examinations according to regulations, and usually pay more attention to observing fetal movements.
Pregnant women can actually use the phenomenon of "fetal burping" to monitor the changes of fetal position by themselves. When the fetal position is head position, the beating part of the abdominal wall of pregnant women is roughly in the left and right lower abdomen. However, if it is found that the pulsation position rises obviously, it means that the fetus has turned into an abnormal fetal position and should be corrected as soon as possible under the guidance of a doctor.
By observing the beating of the abdominal wall of pregnant women, we can also find out whether the abnormal fetal position turns to normal. For example, when the fetal position is transverse or breech, the pulsation of the abdominal wall of pregnant women generally appears in the upper middle abdomen. If it is found that the pulsation position is obviously reduced, it may be that the fetal position has turned normal, and it is not necessary to continue to correct the fetal position or carry out treatment. It should be pointed out that due to the individual differences between the fetus and the pregnant woman, the beating part of the pregnant woman's abdominal wall is relative to some extent, so it cannot be described so concretely and fixedly.
