Already giving birth to a woman knows that when the fetus begins to move, the most pleasant and unforgettable sensations are experienced. What should normal movements be, on what month should the child move for the first time and how often do these movements occur?
How to understand that the child is moving?
A woman wearing a first child may not immediately understand when the fetus begins to move. Usually, the first movements are perceived as "fluttering butterflies" or reinforced intestinal peristalsis. At first, the sensations are very weak and repeat very rarely.
Try to remember how many weeks the baby began to move. This date is important for the further definition of the term of childbirth. By the date when the first child started to move, add 20 weeks. And by the time the second child started to move - 22 weeks. Of course, the calculation of the term of approaching births according to the timing of the perturbation is very approximate.
As the fetus develops, the perturbations can cause some discomfort. The kid just gets cramped in the stomach. Closer to the birth, pay attention, in which area of the abdomen the movements are felt most. If the perturbations, mainly, are observed in the upper part, closer to the diaphragm, the baby occupies the correct, head position.
At what time does the child begin to move?
The first disorderly uncoordinated movements begin already from the 8th week after conception. True, the fetus is so small that a woman can not notice movement. Time when the second child starts to move - 18 weeks. At the first pregnancy, the period when the baby begins to move is equal to 20 weeks.
I must say that the timing, too, is not accurate. Everything depends on the sensitivity of the subcutaneous fat of the future mother. Sometimes, the movement of the fetus woman is able to distinguish between 16 and 17 weeks. With a well developed subcutaneous fat layer, the first movements can be felt a week after the generally accepted standard.
How often should the fetus move?
For the first time, feeling how the baby moves in the womb, a woman should monitor her condition regularly. The infant communicates with the mother by movements, telling her about her mood, her condition or the need to change her body position, turn off loud music.
Often, a woman experiences anxiety, feeling the "hiccup" of the fetus. So began to call special rhythmic movements, similar to twitchings. It is believed that "hiccough" is caused by ingestion of amniotic fluid by the baby and does not contain any threat to its development.
The greatest activity of fetal movements is observed in the period from 24th to 32nd week. At this time there is a rapid growth of the baby, and, accordingly,
Each child is individual, including, and in the manifestation of activity. It is generally believed that in the norm for 10 minutes the fruit performs about three movements. In 30 minutes, five movements must be performed, and in one hour - from 10 to 15 movements.
The baby can stay at rest for up to three hours. This is not a pathology of development. Simply, the baby is sleeping. Active stirring at night causes anxiety to my mother and prevents her full sleep. Most likely, this is due to the excessive activity of a woman throughout the day. The kid likes to rock his stomach, and he wants them to continue.
