One of the most touching moments for the entire period of pregnancy, when the expectant mother begins to feel the first stirring of her crumbs, falls on 18-20 a week, if the first-born grows up in the tummy. Repeated women can feel the first points a little earlier. At this stage, the fetal movements are barely perceptible and irregular: the crumb can for a long time not make itself felt, thereby forcing Mummy to be worried. Closer to the 24th week - the movements of the baby can not be confused with anything, they become distinct, and more and more resemble real jolts, which can be felt even by those around them. And by the end of the 28th week the frequency and intensity of perturbations become the criteria for assessing the state of the child right up until birth.
Features of baby movements at 36 weeks gestation
According to doctors, the peak of motor activity of the baby falls on 36-37 weeks, after which it slowly goes into decline. The fact is that at 36 weeks a woman feels almost every stirring of her baby, since it is already quite large, however, he still has enough free space for active activities. Although, depending on the size of the fetus, the proportions of the mother, the nature of the course of pregnancy, the behavioral tactics of the child at this stage may vary greatly. For example, many women note that at 36 weeks of gestation, the fetal movements became less active. This state of affairs may indicate the approaching birth or the poor health of the crumbs. Therefore, if the child has moved less than 10 times in 12 hours, immediately inform the doctor about it. Also, an uneasy activity of the baby may become an alarming signal, it may not have enough oxygen, which is extremely dangerous for health and life.
It is worth noting that at 36 weeks, a more active stirring of crumbs, especially at night, is considered normal, but it can bring a lot of inconvenience to Mother, perhaps, so the baby prepares it for the upcoming regime.
