Fetal movement: the magical connection between mother and child and the signal of fetal health

Fetal movement is a magical connection between the fetus and the mother, especially among the mothers who are pregnant for the first time. They are full of curiosity and surprise about every move of the fetus. When the fetal head moves gently, the mother can often feel it keenly. But for mothers who don't feel it, don't worry too much, just wait patiently, because this is actually a normal physiological phenomenon of the fetus.

The feeling of fetal movement

Fetal movement is an indescribable feeling. Some people say it's like intestines crawling, others say it's like being touched gently by a small hand. But in any case, fetal movement symbolizes the rhythm of life. From two or three months of pregnancy, with the progress of pregnancy, fetal movement will become more and more intense.

Importance of fetal movement counting

Fetal movement is an important index to reflect the fetal condition in uterus. By counting fetal movements, we can know the health status of the fetus. Reduced fetal movement may mean intrauterine hypoxia, which is an important signal of fetal distress. After the fetal movement stops completely, the fetal heart will disappear within 24-48 hours. Therefore, it is the simplest and most effective method for pregnant women to count fetal movements from the seventh month of pregnancy.
