When a woman is pregnant, she should pay attention to the fetal movements of her baby. Especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, she should count the fetal movements three times a day to understand the condition of the fetus. If the fetal movement suddenly becomes too frequent, or the frequency of fetal movement decreases sharply, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. So, why count fetal movements?
Fetal movement will reflect the safety status of the fetus in the uterus of the pregnant woman. If there are abnormal fetal movements, it is likely that the fetus has intrauterine hypoxia. To give a very vivid metaphor, the fetal movement of the fetus is equivalent to people running. When fetal movement occurs, the fetal heart rate will accelerate, which will increase 10 to 15 times more than usual.
If the fetal movement decreases or even disappears, the fetal heartbeat will usually disappear within 24 hours. Therefore, pregnant women must be monitored and understand the changes in fetal movement every day, so that they can know whether the baby is safe and sound in the womb and detect problems early.
Pregnant women need to count fetal movements every morning, lunch, and dinner. When counting fetal movements, if they find suspicious fetal movements or suspect that the fetus is distressed, hypoxic, etc., they should undergo strict monitoring. If the situation does not improve the next day, you must go to the hospital for fetal heart rate monitoring. If the detected result is less than 10 times, it means that the fetal movement has decreased, and the pregnant woman needs immediate treatment.
