Pregnancy
As soon as the mother sees the result of the pregnancy test positive until the start of attempts to sense any movement within her fetus, and constantly feel her stomach to test the movement of her fetus, how is the movement of the fetus? And when does the mother feel it?
One of the most difficult challenges in the subject of pregnancy is the difference of experiences; where the experience varies from one woman to another, there is no need to worry if the exercise is different from what your friends and relatives have passed; the cause of the difference is due to several factors, including:
- Fetal strength.
- The mother’s structure, as the thin mother may feel the movement of her fetus more than the mother who suffers from obesity.
- Experience: In the first pregnancy experience, the mother may begin to pay attention to pregnancy during the 18th and 20th weeks. If you have had a child before, you can distinguish the movement between the 15th and 18th weeks.
Fetal movement in the fourth month
In the fourth month, fetal movement begins, so it may be difficult to observe and barely sense it, nor will it be easy to distinguish between them and other movements such as stomach gases, in addition to it will be few and between them spaced intervals, but with the growth of the fetus and its organs and muscles, As time passes and the movement increases, you will be able to distinguish them accurately and smoothly.
To try to feel fetal movement, place your hand on the bottom of your abdomen. The movement, called “kickback,” is like an eye or light flick. You have to be patient. It may take several hours for you to feel any movement. The fetus sleeps for 45 minutes continuously within the uterus. Doubts are increasing this month; the mother may not feel any movement for several days, but there is no need to worry about this because of the small size of the fetus and the incomplete growth of its motor, nervous and muscular organs.
You should check with your doctor that the movement of the fetus has decreased significantly for more than a few days, and the child did not respond to the noise and stimuli. The lack of movement may indicate that the fetus is not well fed, and the sooner the problem is resolved the easier it will be to treat and avoid the diseases and problems resulting from it. If you do not feel any abnormalities, to increase your confidence, and to do the necessary tests, such as heart rate monitoring and ultrasound, as the ancients said (a dirham is better than a pound of treatment).
