You can lie still in bed, put your hands on your abdomen and record the number of fetal movements in one minute. If there is hypoxia, the symptom is that the fetal movement is too slow or too fast, that is, it is lower than 120 beats/min or higher than 160 beats/min. When a woman is pregnant for a certain period of time, she can feel fetal movement from her baby. It is best for expectant mothers to learn to monitor fetal movement by themselves, so that abnormal fetal movement can be found in time and measures can be taken to deal with abnormal fetal movement in time to ensure the healthy development of the baby. So frequent fetal movement is hypoxia?
First, is frequent fetal movement hypoxia?
Generally 15 ~ 20 weeks, fetal movement can be felt, reaching the peak at 28 ~ 32 weeks of pregnancy and gradually decreasing after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Pregnant women should start measuring fetal movement from the 28th week. Once every morning and evening, each time 1 hour. Pregnant women can sit or lie on their side and put their hands gently on the abdominal wall to experience fetal movement. Normal fetal movement is 3 ~ 5 times/hour, and the number of fetal movements measured three times can also be multiplied by 4, which is equal to 12 hour, which should be more than 30 times.
If the fetal movement is too frequent, it is not normal. Considering the existence of hypoxia, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time. The fetus is not moving well, and there is an umbilical cord around its neck. Considering that it may be caused by lack of oxygen. It is suggested that you can go to the hospital for oxygen therapy, which will help your baby to have frequent fetal movements. The frequency, speed and strength of fetal movement indicate the safety of the fetus. 1 hour fetal movement is normal and obviously not less than 3~5 times, and 12 hour fetal movement is more than 30~40 times. However, due to the great difference between fetuses, some fetuses can move about 100 times within 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic and has little change, it proves that the fetus is developing normally.
Second, how do pregnant women self-test fetal movement?
1, find free time every day to measure the number of fetal movements: pregnant mothers find free time every day from the 28th week of pregnancy (preferably after dinner, because fetal movements are more frequent at this time), take a left lying posture, and record the time required for 10 fetal movements; If it is less than 120 minutes, it means that the number of fetal movements is normal, but if it is not felt, or if 10 fetal movements take more than 2 hours, you should consult a doctor for further examination as soon as possible.
2, calculate the number of fetal movements in a fixed time: expectant mothers spend one hour in the morning, noon and evening to measure fetal movements. If it is less than three times per hour on average, it may be abnormal.
3, measure the number of fetal movements during the day: The easiest way is that expectant mothers can feel at ease by measuring 10 fetal movements in one day.
Through the introduction of this article, we can know that pregnant mothers must learn to monitor fetal movements, so as to find out whether their fetal movements are normal in time. Once there is an abnormality, you can actively find the reason and take measures to actively respond. In fact, too frequent fetal movement is often a manifestation of fetal hypoxia and needs to be dealt with in time.
