Fetal movement
The mother feels comfortable and reassuring to her child when she moves inside her. She feels very scared when she does not feel his movement or when this movement is interrupted for a while. This causes her to go to the doctor to check on the fetus and find out why she is moving. It should be taken care of because it may predict the health status of the fetus.
Start fetal movement
The movement of the fetus is between the extremities of the embryo and the frontal abdominal wall of the mother, during swimming in the amniotic fluid, in the form of coups and turns, or moving hands and legs, and these movements are simple when the size of the fetus is small, and the larger the size, Of pregnancy, but the mother does not feel the movement at this time but feel between the eighteenth and twentieth weeks of pregnancy, which are in the form of light clicks in the mother’s womb.
Causes of delayed movement
- The causes may be natural, such as an error in the calculation of the pregnancy period from the beginning, or the placenta receiving fetal movements in the case of a front, or the mother’s ignorance of how fetal movements are thought to be bowel movements within.
- The causes may be satisfactory, such as the lack of amniotic fluid in the uterus, the weakness of the fetal motor system and abnormalities in its formation, and the fetus may be dead in the mother’s womb.
Lack of movement or discontinuation
The normal state of fetal movement is to increase fetal movement as it grows. When fetal movement is reduced or stopped, so that it is less than 10 movements per day since the beginning of the eighth month, you should go to the doctor, who examines the fetus by sonar and make sure it is normal by growth and size And the heart beats.
If there are problems in the placenta, the fetus must be removed quickly from his mother’s womb, and the use of premature birth in order to maintain his health and his life; because the problems in the placenta work on the lack of transport of oxygen and food to him, which leads to great problems and may lead to his death , And fetal movement can decrease in the ninth month due to the large size of the fetus and the lack of space, there is not enough space for him to swim freely, and also depends on the movement of the fetus, which varies between embryo and another.
Ways to motivate the fetus to move
- Stretching and lifting the feet up and relax, some embryos sleep by vibration when the mother moves, and can wake up after the mother relax and stop moving.
- Drink a very cold drink, which leads to the feeling of the fetus changing the temperature in your stomach and trying to get away from it.
- Nuisance may make your child wake up and move as a result of hearing noise.
